Treatment Options to Restore Your Smile
If you are considering dentures near Lakeland, FL, it’s a good idea to know the different types that are available and how we use each:
We recommend partial dentures when you have one or more missing teeth. Partials are custom designed to fit in and around remaining teeth to restore your smile.
Full or complete dentures are the solution you need if you’re missing all the teeth in your upper jaw, lower jaw, or both.
We’re also pleased to offer the benefits of implant-supported dentures for our patients who want a more permanent, stable solution to denture therapy. Dr. Mohammad Zaman places several dental implants at different points along your jaw and your dentures are designed with attachments that snap onto the implants to hold them securely in place.
Planning for Your Dentures in Lakeland, FL
The first step is a consultation with Dr. Vernon Smith or Dr. Mohammad Zaman to discuss your current oral health needs and describe all of our tooth replacement options including dentures, dental bridges, and dental implants.
One of the most enjoyable parts of the process is designing your new dentures because we have more options for customizing them than ever before. We’ll work with you to choose the shape, shade, and positioning of each tooth so that your dentures look natural and complement the shape of your face and the shade of your skin, eyes, and hair.
We also prepare a wax try-in denture first, so you can get an idea of what it will look and feel like in your mouth, and we can make any last-minute adjustments. We send all of these details to a dental lab where skilled technicians meticulously fabricate your custom dentures to our specifications. The result is a set of natural-looking dentures that fit comfortably, function well, and enhance your appearance.

Full Dentures to Replace Missing Teeth
I've been making dentures for years with many positive outcomes. I assume you already know about what a denture is. Dentures aren't as satisfying as having a full set of natural teeth, but they tend to make most people satisfied. If the denture you have doesn't satisfy your needs, tell your dentist in Lakeland, FL. Feel free to seek another opinion for a denture consult if you have any doubts. Keep in mind that dentures are an economical option compared to implant dentures, and regular dentures only provide approximately (replace approx with symbol) 25 percent of the chewing efficiency of natural teeth.
Common Issues with Full or Partial Dentures

There are many reasons why people may not be satisfied with their dentures in Lakeland, FL. I've made over a thousand dentures with many positive results. One key reason for having success with dentures has been taking the time to troubleshoot denture problems when they inevitably arise.

Many people wearing dentures have issues that they don't realize are rectifiable, so don't assume that your denture cannot be better.
