Dentures & Partials
Overview
A comfortable smile you can count on again
Dentures replace missing teeth so you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence. A full denture replaces every tooth in the upper or lower arch, while a partial denture fills the gaps between healthy teeth you still have, anchoring to them with discreet clasps. Which one fits your situation depends on how many teeth remain, how healthy they are, and what your day-to-day priorities look like — all things we walk through together before anything is made.
At Complete Dental Care in Atlantis, fitting a denture is a careful, step-by-step process, not a one-visit handoff. We take detailed impressions, match the shape and shade of the teeth to your face, and check the fit at a try-in stage so you can see and feel the result before the final denture is finished. Afterward, follow-up visits let us fine-tune any spot that rubs — and we'll be honest with you: most people need a few weeks and a couple of small adjustments before a new denture feels like their own.
If you want something that never slips, ask us about implant-supported dentures — dentures anchored by dental implants for a much more secure hold. Dr. Jackie Johns, DMD, brings more than 30 years of implant experience to that conversation, so you'll get a straight answer about whether it's worth it for you.

When To See Us
Signs dentures or a partial may help
If any of these sound like your day-to-day, a consultation will tell you exactly where you stand — no pressure, just options.
Meals have become a chore
When several teeth are missing, chewing shifts to the few that remain — and favorite foods quietly drop off the menu. A well-fitted denture or partial spreads the work back out so eating feels normal again.
Your current denture slips or rubs
Gums and bone change shape over the years, so even a denture that once fit well can loosen and cause sore spots. Often a reline or adjustment fixes it; when it can't, we'll tell you plainly and plan a replacement.
A denture broke or a tooth is failing now
A cracked denture, a painful tooth that may need to come out — that can't wait for a routine slot. Call our 24/7 emergency line at 561-787-7517 or book an emergency visit.
