Full, Partial, and Immediate Dentures

Dentures remain a reliable and effective solution for replacing multiple missing teeth. At Palmetto and Pine, each set of dentures is custom-designed to complement your facial structure, bite, and overall oral health.

Full Dentures

Full dentures are used when all teeth in the upper or lower arch are missing. These restorations are crafted to restore your ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence, while maintaining a natural appearance.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are ideal when some natural teeth remain. They fill in gaps and help prevent surrounding teeth from shifting, while preserving your existing tooth structure.

Immediate Dentures

Immediate dentures are placed on the same day as tooth extractions. This option allows patients to maintain their appearance and function without waiting for the healing process to complete.

Implant Dentures

For patients seeking a more secure and long-lasting solution, implant dentures provide a superior alternative to traditional removable dentures.

The Problem

Ill-fitting or loose dentures can create ongoing challenges, including difficulty chewing, speech difficulties, and gum irritation. As dentures shift during use, they may also cause painful sore spots and reduce confidence in everyday activities.

The Solution

Implant dentures are designed to enhance stability and comfort by anchoring the denture to dental implants placed in the jawbone.

The process begins with the surgical placement of two to four dental implants. Over a healing period of approximately six months, the implants integrate with the bone, creating a stable and durable foundation.

Once healing is complete, a custom denture is created with specialized attachments on the underside. These attachments connect to a bar or system anchored by the implants, ensuring the denture remains secure during chewing and speaking.

Types of Implant Dentures

Implant Retained Dentures: These dentures are secured to implants using attachments, but still rely in part on the gums and underlying bone for support. They offer improved stability compared to traditional dentures while remaining removable.

Implant-Supported Dentures: These dentures are primarily supported by the implants and the connecting bar system. They are ideal for patients who may not have sufficient bone or gum structure to support traditional dentures alone, offering enhanced stability and function.

Benefits of Implant Dentures

  • Improved stability and retention
  • Greater comfort and reduced gum irritation
  • Enhanced chewing ability and speech clarity
  • Secure fit without constant adjustments
  • More confidence in daily activities

Alternative Options

If the investment in dental implants is not the preferred path, new or traditional dentures may be considered as an alternative solution. Our team will guide you through every option to ensure the best fit for your needs and goals.
