Dentures

Many dental patients do not know that partial dentures are an option if they are missing only some of their teeth.

If you need to replace an arch of teeth with a restoration that blends in with your smile, partial dentures may provide the solution. For those missing just one to three teeth, dental bridges may be preferable. Finally, if you are missing just one tooth, a dental implant with a crown may restore your smile.

Dr. Pohl, our dentist, can guide you through the possibilities that partial dentures, implants, and dental bridges have to offer at your consultation.

Have you lost some or all of your natural teeth? Do not let missing teeth continue to impact your overall quality of life. Dr. Pohl is a dentist who can design custom replacement teeth that complement your features, repair your smile, and provide an exciting boost in self-confidence.

If you are tired of suffering with a compromised smile, get in touch with our Fort Walton Beach, FL, office today. We are happy to treat patients from Pensacola, Destin, and all surrounding areas.

Traditional Dentures

During your initial consultation at his Fort Walton Beach, FL, dental office, Dr. Pohl will assess your oral health and determine whether you require any preliminary procedures. He can then take impressions of your smile to send to an offsite lab, where your restorations will be created over the next three to four weeks. A patient visiting our office for dentures typically sees Dr. Pohl over the course of five appointments, which cover:

• First impressions
• Second impressions 
• Custom trays 
• Bite and shade 
• Fittings 

In some cases, complete dentures and other restorations can be fabricated and ready for placement in as little as three weeks from your initial appointment.

Implant-Supported Dentures

If you are receiving an implant-supported restoration, you must first undergo dental implant surgery. We work with the area's finest oral surgeons, who can place titanium implants through your gums and into your jawbone.

After your procedure, you will continue wearing your current denture and will typically have to wait three to six months for your gums and jaw to fully heal.

After healing is complete, abutments, or connector pieces, will be attached to the top of the implants. Then your restoration will be converted so that it can easily snap into place over the implants. Sedation dentistry is available at every step to help you feel comfortable under our care. Just let our dentist know how he can help you feel more at-ease during your visit, and we will do everything we can to accommodate you.

Although the cost of your treatment will vary depending on the materials used and the extent of your oral health concerns, each full prosthetic arch starts at approximately $1,500. Patients receiving full upper and lower dentures can expect their new prosthetics to cost about $3,000. We can review your unique needs and provide a more detailed and accurate estimate during your private consultation. We accept most insurance plans, and most providers will contribute to at least a portion of the cost of dentures. 

However, it is important to understand that your plan will probably only cover the most affordable and practical options. Premium materials and dental implants will involve out-of-pocket expenses. Fortunately, we can help you secure financing through CareCredit®, a leading third-party lender. With CareCredit, you can make low-interest and interest-free payments, depending on your credit score. During your consultation, we will gladly explain your options and help you budget for the solution and care you need.
