Dentures

If you’ve lost all or most of your teeth, there’s an easy way to have a full smile again. With our natural-looking dentures, you’ll be able to speak clearly and enjoy all the foods you love. You don’t need to live your life without an incredible smile.

Are Dentures Right for Me?

If you don’t want to deal with a complex full mouth reconstruction procedure or if your bone deterioration means you can’t get dental implants, dentures will be a perfect fit for you. Dentures are a removable replacement for your missing teeth and will allow you to return to a normal life.

The Dentures Process

If you decide dentures are the right option for you, we will take an impression of your mouth that we’ll use to create them. This ensures that everything will fit perfectly in your mouth. The goal is to make them feel as close to your natural teeth as possible.

When your dentures are created, we’ll place them in your mouth to make sure there is no discomfort and we’ll check if everything is aligned correctly. We will make any necessary adjustments if something doesn’t line up or feel right.

What are the Benefits of Dentures?

Living without a full set of teeth can be a difficult experience, and while dentures are not permanently fixed, they’ll be a welcome addition to your mouth. Here are benefits that you can look forward to with your new set of dentures:

• You’ll have a full smile
• They feel comfortable
• You can eat the foods you love
• They’re easy to clean
• Increased self-confidence

Frequently Asked Questions for Dentures in Pembroke Pines

How Long Does It Take to Get Used to Wearing Dentures?

Most patients need a few weeks to adjust to speaking, chewing, and simply feeling comfortable with dentures in their mouth. This is normal.
It is also normal to experience some minor soreness or increased saliva production during this period as your mouth adapts to a foreign object. To make it easier, we recommend practicing talking in front of the mirror. We'll also schedule follow-up visits during this time to make small adjustments and ensure your dentures fit as comfortably as possible.

How Often Do Dentures Need to Be Replaced or Relined?

Dentures typically need relining or replacement every 5-7 years because your jawbone and gums naturally change shape over time, even after tooth loss. A denture that fits perfectly at first can gradually loosen, which is why routine check-ups matter—we can catch fit issues early with a reline rather than waiting until eating or speaking becomes difficult.
Continuing to wear dentures that don’t fit properly can harm your gums, another reason to bring them to your yearly dental consultations.

Should I Take My Dentures Out at Night?

Yes, we generally recommend removing your dentures before bed to give your gums a chance to rest and to reduce the risk of irritation or infection. Overnight is also the ideal time to soak and clean them properly, keeping them free of bacteria and ready for the next day.

How Much Do Dentures Cost, and Will My Insurance Help?

Denture costs vary depending on the type you need—full, partial, or implant-supported—and the amount of prep work required beforehand, such as extractions. Many dental insurance plans provide partial coverage for dentures because they're considered a restorative rather than a cosmetic treatment.
During your consultation, we'll walk you through a clear cost estimate and check your specific insurance benefits so there are no surprises before treatment begins.

Are There Different Types of Dentures to Choose From?

Yes—beyond traditional full and partial dentures, many patients today opt for implant-supported dentures, which snap onto a small number of implants for a more secure, stable fit that feels closer to natural teeth. We'll help you weigh the differences based on your bone health, budget, and lifestyle so you land on the option that fits you best, not just the most common one.

Do You Take Medicare?

Yes, we accept Medicare for eligible dental services, including dentures. If you're searching for dentists who take Medicare in Pompano Beach or nearby areas like Pembroke Pines, our office can confirm your specific plan's coverage for denture treatment before your visit, so give us a call!
