We design your dentures to complement your smile and look so natural that no one will ever know your secret!
A Time-Tested Tooth Replacement
Tooth loss can change your day-to-day life in ways you might not have anticipated, making simple actions like eating and speaking challenging. If you're in this situation, TLC Dentistry in Dunedin, FL, has a solution that works well for many people: dentures and partials. This treatment can transform your smile, restore comfortable chewing, and help you regain the confidence to enjoy life to the fullest.
Dentures are a time-tested tooth replacement if you've lost several or all of your teeth. They are an affordable alternative to dental implants if you have financial considerations or don't want to wait months for implants to heal.
One of the things that makes TLC Dentistry an excellent choice for dentures is our ability to view you as an individual with unique dental needs and life circumstances.
Modern dentistry provides several types of dentures, and we work with you to understand your smile goals and tailor recommendations to suit you perfectly.
When all teeth in the upper or lower jaw are missing, full (or complete) dentures rest directly on your gums to give you a complete smile.
If you still have some natural teeth, partial dentures can fill in the gaps, working harmoniously with existing teeth.
Both full and partial dentures can be removable, allowing easy cleaning and maintenance.
If you desire more stability than removable prosthetics, this type of denture attaches to implants secured in your jawbone, offering added confidence while speaking and eating.
This concept uses 4–6 implants strategically placed to support a full arch of replacement teeth.
If your denture is repairable and we receive it before 10 am we can deliver it after 4pm the same day. If it is later than 10 am, it will be ready the next business day
Gone are the days of uncomfortable and unrealistic replacement teeth as the world of dentures has evolved significantly. Thanks to lightweight and resilient materials, today's dentures are more comfortable than ever. Because we customize them for your unique smile, they conform well to your mouth's contours and create a comfortable fit not possible years ago.
A significant improvement is the dentures' realistic appearance. We collaborate with you to customize your dentures to mimic the look of your natural teeth and gums.
The dentures process begins with a consultation, where you and our dentists have an informative discussion to answer your questions and address concerns. They share insights about the process so you have the details you need to make an informed decision.
Following a detailed examination, we take photos and impressions of your mouth to customize your dentures. This process typically requires several appointments because we want you to be delighted with your new smile. We will also schedule a wax try-in session that allows you to preview the look and feel of your new smile before finalizing your dentures.
Our dentists and the team at TLC Dentistry will walk you through your transition to life with dentures by providing strategies and tips to help you adjust. Initially, your dentures may feel unfamiliar as you navigate learning how to eat and speak with them; but with practice, patience, and time, you will adapt.
Dentures can provide a transformative solution if missing teeth diminishes your quality of life. Our approach to dental care ensures you will feel heard, supported, and empowered throughout your journey.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Adjusting to removable full or partial is a process that takes some practice, especially during meals. You might need to start with soft foods and slowly reintroduce harder and crunchier foods as you get comfortable. With time, practice, and patience, you can soon enjoy your favorite foods again.
Partial and Full Removable Dentures
We design partial dentures at TLC Dentistry to fill gaps in your smile left by one or more missing teeth. Since partials are anchored to surrounding natural teeth, they provide stability when chewing a wide range of foods.
Full removable dentures replace an entire arch of teeth. This type of denture relies on natural suction or denture adhesives to stay in place.
The Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures
If you want a more secure, natural-feeling solution, implant-supported dentures might be for you. These are regular dentures designed to attach to dental implants placed in your jawbone.
Implant dentures are an excellent solution if you want the confidence of replacement teeth that don't shift or slip unpredictably when you eat, speak, or laugh. This added stability allows you to enjoy a wider variety of foods, including nutritious fruits and vegetables.
Take Control of Your Oral Health
Adjusting to dentures is a process, so be patient with yourself. You're taking an important step to preserve your oral health, boost your confidence, and improve your quality of life.
