Get a Better Smile With Dentures
Boost Confidence With Modern Dentures
If you've lost several teeth due to decay, injury, or aging, dentures can be an ideal solution. Today’s dentures are made from durable materials and are low-maintenance, providing a reliable and long-lasting option for tooth replacement.
When designed and fitted correctly, dentures function just like natural teeth, allowing you to smile, speak, and chew confidently. However, dentures aren't the only choice for replacing missing teeth. We are here to help you explore all your options and provide the necessary information to help you make the best decision based on your unique needs and preferences.

What Makes Us the Best Choice?
Creating a natural-looking, long-lasting restoration requires expertise and careful attention to detail. Your Plant City dentist must understand your specific needs and recommend the best denture for you. The process starts with a 3D impression of your mouth, ensuring an accurate representation of your gums. Using high-quality materials and partnering with a trusted laboratory, a custom prosthesis is crafted. Throughout the procedure, your dentist will work closely with you, addressing any concerns and ensuring a comfortable, precise fit.
At Horizon Dental Designs in Plant City, we’ve perfected this process. Our skilled team offers compassionate care and expert treatment, restoring not only your smile but also your confidence.
Partial Dentures
Partial Denture Types & Materials
Partial dentures can be crafted from a combination of metal and acrylic or entirely from acrylic, depending on your specific needs. The design of your partial denture is customized to fit your mouth, ensuring ease of cleaning and protection of your remaining teeth and oral tissues.
Our team will carefully design your partial denture to evenly distribute chewing forces across both your remaining teeth and soft tissues. Occasionally, adjustments may be necessary for optimal balance.
Metal partials are often preferred for their durability and thinner design, offering better hygiene than acrylic partials, which are commonly used as temporary solutions. We will collaborate with you to choose the best option for your individual needs.
Full Dentures
- A conventional denture is crafted after all teeth have been extracted and the gum tissues have fully healed.
- In contrast, an immediate denture is made and placed right after tooth extraction, allowing the gums to heal beneath it.
- Upper dentures are typically made of acrylic and cover the palate, matching the color of the flesh.
- Lower dentures are designed in a horseshoe shape to comfortably fit around the tongue.
Dentures can be crafted from plastic, porcelain, or a combination of both materials. They can be customized to fit over teeth that have undergone root canal treatment, and dental implants can be used to securely attach a complete denture.
Over time, dentures may wear down and require adjustments or replacement to maintain proper jaw alignment. As the bone and gum ridges recede following tooth extraction, the alignment of the jaw may change. Regular dental check-ups are essential for denture wearers to monitor the health of their oral tissues and detect any signs of disease or changes.
