Tooth loss can affect more than just your smile — it can impact how you eat, speak, and feel about yourself. At Coastal Dental Care, we understand how personal and important your smile is. That’s why we offer modern, customized solutions to replace missing teeth, including both removable dentures and implant-supported dentures.

With today’s advancements in dental technology, dentures are more comfortable and natural-looking than ever. Whether you’re missing a few teeth or need full-mouth restoration, we’re here to guide you to the best fit for your lifestyle.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth. They’re custom-made to fit your mouth and restore your ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently.

There are two main types of dentures:

• Full Dentures: For patients who have lost all teeth in the upper or lower jaw. These replace an entire arch.
• Partial Dentures: For those who still have some natural teeth. They fill the gaps and prevent shifting.

Modern dentures at Coastal Dental Care are designed for comfort, aesthetics, and functionality — helping you enjoy life without limitations.

Why Choose Removable Dentures?

Removable dentures are a trusted, non-surgical option for replacing missing teeth. Some of their key benefits include:

• Affordability: Typically lower upfront cost than implants.
• Quick Turnaround: Fabrication and fitting can be completed relatively fast.
• Non-Invasive: No surgery required.
• Custom Fit: Designed specifically for your mouth.

They’re also easy to clean and adjust over time, which makes them ideal for many patients.

The Drawbacks of Traditional Dentures

While removable dentures are effective, they may not be ideal for everyone. Over time, they can:

• Shift or slip while talking or eating.
• Cause sore spots or irritation.
• Become loose as the jawbone naturally shrinks due to tooth loss.
• Limit chewing ability, especially for harder foods.

This is why many patients at Coastal Dental Care consider upgrading to denture implants.

What Are Denture Implants?

Denture implants, also known as implant-supported dentures, are a secure and long-lasting solution. Instead of resting on the gums, they are attached to titanium implants that are surgically inserted into the jawbone.

These implants act as anchors to hold your dentures firmly in place. They can support either a full or partial denture, offering a much more stable and natural experience.

Benefits of Denture Implants

Implant-supported dentures offer several advantages over traditional ones:

• ✅ Better Stability: No more slipping or clicking while talking or eating.
• ✅ Natural Feel: Mimics the look and function of natural teeth.
• ✅ Improved Chewing: Eat a wider variety of foods comfortably.
• ✅ Preserves Jawbone: Prevents the bone loss that often occurs with removable dentures.
• ✅ Boosted Confidence: A secure smile you can trust.

They also reduce the need for adhesives and regular re-fitting, making them a lower-maintenance solution over the long term.

Are Implant Dentures Right for You?

The right choice depends on your individual needs, bone health, and goals. At Coastal Dental Care, we’ll assess your oral condition and walk you through your options.

Removable Dentures may be better for those who:

• Want a non-surgical solution
• Need a more budget-friendly option
• Have significant bone loss that limits implant use

Denture Implants may be ideal if you:

• Want a stable, natural feel
• Prefer a long-term solution
• Have healthy jawbone support (or are open to bone grafting if needed)

We’ll help you weigh the pros and cons and develop a personalized plan that fits your lifestyle and comfort.
