Did you know that about 120 million American adults have lost at least one permanent tooth? Needless to say, you aren’t alone if you have a missing tooth or even an entirely empty mouth. No one wants embarrassing gaps in their smile. Failing teeth or large spaces affect not only your overall appearance but also your quality of life in general. Custom dentures in North Naples, FL look great and improve the function of your mouth. Contact our North Naples office to start your journey to a complete smile with dentures!
One of the enduring and alluring features of dentures is that almost everyone with missing dentition qualifies for them, regardless of how many teeth have been lost. However, we want to make sure you receive the right treatment for your specific ccase. During your consultation, we will discuss all your treatment options and help you determine which one would best help restore your smile.
New dentures are often the best tooth replacement option for patients who want affordable teeth and don’t want to live without a full set of teeth. If you’re one of the millions of Americans living without a complete smile, here are the types of dentures we’re offering to enhance well-being and quality of life:
If you still have some remaining healthy teeth, you probably want to hold onto them as long as possible, and partial dentures simply fill in the gaps. These prosthetics use clasps to hold onto these anchor teeth for stability and are fabricated to look like them, creating a seamless smile.
Full dentures replace the entire arch and depend on a tight, suction-based fit to stay in place. Compared to going without teeth, you’ll find that these dentures can truly be life changing. Keep in mind that over time you may require denture adhesive and adjustments in our office to help keep them from slipping.
Some patients can’t stand their removable dentures and want more stability in their teeth. Common complaints of removable dentures include the inability to eat hearty foods and even shifting teeth. To resolve these issues, we proudly offer implant-retained dentures and Fountain of Youth™ dentures, which fit and function better than traditional prosthetics and prevent the common sunken facial shape.

In addition to being adaptable to any multiple tooth loss situation, dentures have continued to be popular for several reasons. First, these replacements are more affordable than more advanced options. Also, dentures empower you to have a more varied diet, which can greatly impact your overall health.
If you have some healthy teeth left, partial dentures can keep them in their proper alignment. Otherwise, these teeth would wander and shift, changing your bite and possibly leading to additional loss.
In particular, implant dentures come with even more benefits because of the added strength and security of the implant posts. In fact, implant dentures can restore around 75 percent of your original biting power, enabling you to eat even more nutritious and hearty foods.
At Total Dental Solutions for Adults, Dr. George Hoop is always ready to help individuals who are suffering from partial or complete tooth loss. By offering dentures as a viable solution to restore incomplete smiles, he and the rest of our team are here to ensure you get the results you need (and deserve) without spending a fortune. While it’s true various factors determine the cost of dentures in North Naples, it’s also accurate that no two cases are alike. For this reason, it’s best not to compare your situation to a neighbor, friend, or family member who also wears dentures. By scheduling a consultation with Dr. Hoop, you can learn exactly how much you’ll be expected to pay for your new smile.
When determining how much your dentures will cost, there are three factors Dr. Hoop will consider when meeting with him for your initial consultation:
While it may be tempting to see another dentist who offers materials at a lower price, you shouldn’t jump to accept that offer. Why? Because cheaper isn’t always better, especially when it comes to dental prosthetics. By choosing to pay a bit more for your new smile, you can expect it to last longer and feel more comfortable inside your mouth.
Yes, it is no surprise that implant dentures cost more upfront than traditional dentures in North Naples; however, when you consider the benefits you’ll receive using permanent prosthetics, it’s well worth the investment. Because the titanium posts used for dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, they create a more stable foundation for your new smile. Once your denture is secured to your implants, you’ll regain significant bite function and chewing power, allowing you to eat all your favorite foods while continuing to stimulate your jawbone and ensure optimal oral health. Not to mention, implant dentures are known to last 30 years or longer with proper care and maintenance.
There is a good chance your dental insurance company will agree to cover a portion of your denture treatment. In fact, if you look at your policy, they may cover anywhere from 50-80% of the total cost depending on if you’ve met your deductible and how much of your annual maximum remains available. If you’re unsure how to navigate your plan or understand exactly how much you can expect to save, our team at Total Dental Solutions for Adults will be happy to help maximize your benefits and get the most savings. We’ll even file your paperwork and claims so you can avoid the stress of juggling the financial component of dental care.
