Restore Your Smile with Beautiful Restorations
Tooth loss can lead to a host of unpleasant oral health consequences like uneven enamel erosion, dental drift, gum injuries, oral infections, and possibly further tooth loss. Luckily, the team at Boulder Rock Dental is ready to fit you with a beautiful set of traditional or implant dentures that will restore your appearance, speaking ability, and chewing power. Here’s a quick look at what dentures are, who they can help, and why you may want to consider replacing your missing teeth with one of these wonderful restorations.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Tooth loss can negatively affect your oral health and quality of life in a variety of ways like:
- Making it difficult to speak clearly
- Reducing your ability to chew properly
- Diminishing your confidence in your smile
- Exposing your gums and remaining teeth to injury
Dentures can be a fantastic way for patients who have lost teeth but are free from oral infections to restore their smiles. While gum disease and other dental health issues may preclude you from the treatment initially, we’ll be happy to address any oral infections with appropriate restorative treatments in our office so you can be an excellent denture candidate later. However, you may be served better with another restoration such as a bridge or a dental implant if you are only missing one or a few teeth. We’ll be happy to provide you with a qualified recommendation for tooth replacement during your consultation.
Types of Dentures
The first step to receiving dentures is to schedule a consultation at our Palm Coast office. Based on our dentist’s findings, we may recommend:
Partial Dentures
A partial denture is a great way to address the loss of one or several teeth throughout the mouth. One of these devices consists of ceramic artificial teeth supported by an acrylic gum-colored base, and it may incorporate clips that allow it to attach to the remaining natural teeth.
Full Dentures
Full dentures consist of ceramic artificial teeth mounted on acrylic gum-colored bases, and they are designed to replace complete arches of lost teeth while holding their place in the mouth through natural suction. Each of these appliances is completely customized to fit comfortably over the gums.
Implant Dentures
Implant dentures are an excellent option for those who are seeking a permanent solution to tooth loss that functions exactly like natural teeth. These devices are full dentures secured to the jawbones with titanium dental implants, and this gives them the leverage they need for maximum chewing power and lifespan.
The Benefits of Dentures
Dentures offer a range of impressive benefits like:
- A lifelike appearance that makes them indistinguishable from natural teeth.
- Being carefully crafted based on precise measurements for a comfortable fit.
- Enhancing chewing power so the patient can enjoy a more nutritious and interesting diet.
- Supporting the cheeks to prevent them from looking hollow.
- A cost-effective and time-tested solution to tooth loss.
- Simple hygiene and maintenance requirements make the devices easy to keep clean.
