Make Your Smile Whole Again
Replace Missing Teeth With Tampa Dentures
With dentures in Tampa, you needn't worry about a smile that doesn't look natural. Unlike the "false teeth" your grandparents may have worn, our modern replacement teeth offer a realistic appearance. With a better fit, they feel more comfortable, too. Plus, you have more dentures options than ever before, including dental implant dentures. With our help, you will reveal a full and confident smile and feel more at ease in social settings. A consultation with our team is the best way for you to find the right replacement teeth.
Implant Dentures Offer Lifelike Feel & Function
Conventional dentures rest on top of your gums, held in place largely by suction. Your mouth changes as you age, so without tooth roots to provide stimulation to your jaw, your bone shrinks over time. This means you'll require periodic relining procedures to adjust the fit of your replacement teeth. Dental implants prevent this kind of bone loss by stimulating your jaw. Implant dentures provide many benefits.
More Comfort
Implant dentures provide a more comfortable fit because they do not rub against your gums like traditional dentures often do. This means less irritation and soreness in your mouth.
More Security
When your replacement teeth are connected to implants, they stay securely in place without loosening or shifting, giving you a stable and confident smile.
More Chewing Power
You can bite down with nearly the same strength as you did before, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods again. This improved bite force restores more of your chewing power.
Easier Maintenance
Some implant dentures only need you to brush and floss regularly. You might find that your daily oral care routine stays the same without any extra steps.
Versatility
You can choose implant-retained dentures that can be easily removed or implant-supported dentures that stay in place. Both stay in place without adhesive.
Implants Not for You? Choose From Other Denture Options
If you'd rather not get implants, you still have good denture options:
- Full Dentures - These arches of teeth are used in the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both jaws for a full-mouth teeth replacement. You take them out daily for cleaning.
- Partial Dentures - If you still have healthy teeth, you may want to get partials. They are also removed for daily cleaning.
- Temporary Dentures - These temporary teeth keep your smile looking great until your final restorations are ready.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dentures
How long does it take to make dentures?
Our team will take digital impressions that will be used by our lab partner to craft your customized dentures. It typically takes one to two weeks for them to be made and arrive back at our office. You'll return for a fitting and realignment to ensure that your new teeth work and fit precisely and that your smile looks natural.
Which is better: dentures or implants?
Conventional dentures cost less than dental implant dentures. However, some of the benefits of implants may make it worth the added cost. For instance, dental implants will keep you from suffering the bone loss that causes your jaw to shrink, giving you an older appearance and making it more difficult to keep your dentures in place. They can also last a lifetime.
Can dentures fall out?
Traditional dentures that stay in place with dental adhesives will fit snugly and comfortably on top of your gums. Over time, however, they will need to be adjusted to maintain stability. To avoid this, we're able to secure your dentures to dental implants. You won't have to worry about your replacement teeth slipping or falling out when you eat or speak.
