Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They come in two types: complete and partial. Complete dentures are used when all teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. Dentures not only restore the appearance and oral functions that were lost with the teeth, but they can also help support the facial structure and reduce the appearance of aging.

If you've lost some or all of your natural teeth, dentures can replace your missing teeth and your smile. Replacing missing teeth will benefit your appearance and your health.

When you are missing teeth, it can be difficult to speak clearly. Dentures can help improve your speech abilities. It may take some time to get used to speaking with them, but with practice, you should be able to speak as well as you did with your natural teeth.
During your initial consultation, your Naples dentist will perform a comprehensive dental exam to determine if dentures are the best solution for you. He will examine your gums and other teeth to assess their health and determine the type of dentures that would be most suitable.
After your consultation, Dr. Lowell will take impressions of your mouth to create a model of your dentures. This model will be used to custom-make your dentures to ensure they fit perfectly and look natural.
Once your dentures are made, you'll have them fitted in your mouth. Dr. Lowell will make any necessary adjustments to ensure they fit comfortably and securely. It's important to know that it might take some time to get used to your new dentures. However, Dr. Lowell and his team at Suncoast Dental Center will be there to support you every step of the way.
