Dentures in Wauchula, Florida

When tooth loss occurs, dentures represent one of the most effective replacement options available. Indeed, millions of people have successfully used dentures in order to regain proper oral function and to restore their smiles.


When tooth loss is left untreated, it can cause some very serious issues. First and foremost, a person suffering from tooth loss will typically experience troubles with chewing and speaking. Many people will also deal with unfortunate social repercussions that come with having unsightly gaps in their smile created by missing teeth. This can cause a person to lose their confidence. And over time, tooth loss can result in additional problems such as unwanted tooth shifts, bite imbalances, jawbone deterioration, and facial structure loss. As a result, replacing lost teeth early on is important.

At Wauchula Dental, we take great pride in providing our patients with top-quality dentures that provide great function and look natural. Both the prosthetic teeth and the gum-colored base that supports them are crafted from the finest materials available in order to provide the best results for patients. And all of our dentures are custom-made so that each patient receives the restoration that is ideal for their needs. Although tooth loss is a difficult challenge to overcome, the Gulf Coast Dental Associates Team will be there to help provide the patient with the best solution.


Our practice offers both fixed dentures and traditional dentures.

By using dental implants that are surgically inserted into the jawbone, fixed dentures are permanently secured inside the user’s mouth. Once they have been installed, they can never be removed except through oral surgery. Their permanent nature means that they can be cared for and cleaned in the same manner as natural teeth, and most patients even begin to think of them as natural teeth. The implants will allow the structure to remain steady and secure while also helping the dentures to feel incredibly natural. Best of all, they should last a lifetime if proper maintenance and care are provided.

Traditional dentures are appliances that are worn over the remaining jawbone and dental arch to provide the appearance and function of healthy teeth. The dentures grip tightly around these structures, and they use principles of suction to remain steady and secure when they are in use. Traditional dentures are removable, which makes them very easy to clean and maintain. And since our traditional dentures are built out of the finest materials available, they should last for many years if the user provides proper care. Overall, traditional dentures are ideal for patients who want a solid, non-surgical option for treating tooth loss.
