Dentures have been part of tooth replacement for centuries. Over the years, they have evolved into natural-looking prosthetics that fit and function as intended. Gone are the days of ill-fitting denture plates with boxy restoration teeth!

Carrollwood Village Dental offers full, partial-, and implant-retained dentures with a modern flair. No one will guess you’re wearing a prosthetic. They’ll only see a beautiful smile.

About Modern Dentures in Tampa, FL

Our dentures are always customized to complement your features and bone structure. The colors and shading are also tailored just for you.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are artificial teeth connected to an arch. The arch fits around the remaining teeth, allowing the artificial teeth to fill in smile gaps. Besides needing existing teeth for support, partial dentures also use clips for added stability. The remaining teeth must be healthy enough to support the prosthetic to wear partial dentures.

Complete Dentures

Complete dentures are used for total tooth loss. The gum-colored arches hold a full smile of restoration teeth. The arches fit over the gum and depend on gravity, suction, and bone structure for stability.

Implant-Retained Dentures

Implant-supported dentures and prosthetics are for patients looking for added stability. With implant dentures, we secure the arch to the jaw using up to six dental implants per arch.

Comparing Denture Types

At Carrollwood Village Dental, we use the finest materials to craft your dentures. So, when choosing an option, it’s a matter of addressing your tooth loss needs and smile goals. The dentist can review the options with you to help you make the right choice.

At your initial consultation, we can also discuss costs and potential pretreatments—for example, extractions for a full denture.
