"No other team would care as much.” Hear From Our Patient

“I can’t say enough on what a great experience it’s been. I’ve had to have numerous appointments and in every case they showed professionalism and that they cared. I have had to go through pulling all my upper teeth, healing phase and denture making and fitting. There attention to detail gave me a denture that looks like me. I was so scared of the outcome and am so very pleased with final denture. No other team would care as much.”

Implant-Supported Dentures The Ultimate Choice for Tooth Replacement

Our Merritt Island, FL, dentists have undergone additional training to provide state-of-the-art dental implants. Unlike traditional options that only restore the visible part of the tooth above the gumline, titanium dental implants are placed in the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots.

An implant-supported denture will be secured to the titanium posts, providing an unbeatable level of stability and comfort. Furthermore, implant-supported restorations stay fixed in place at all times, so you can avoid the cumbersome maintenance that comes with removable options.

 
While implant-supported dentures provide a wealth of additional benefits, they also involve a more extensive procedure. Treatment takes place in multiple phases at our Merritt Island, FL, office over several months.

Lifelike Detail and Premium Restorations

What to Expect When Receiving Handcrafted Dentures

For the past decade, our dentists have worked with a trusted local lab to create lifelike traditional and implant-supported dentures. We closely collaborate with the lab technicians to ensure the best possible results and your ultimate satisfaction.

After receiving your handcrafted custom prosthetic, we personally handle the steps of fitting and adjustments. Rather than sending your restorations off to the dental lab for modifications, we streamline the process and bring the lab capabilities to our Merritt Island office. Our modern methods increase treatment efficiency and produce dentures that more closely match the aesthetics of your natural teeth.

Need Preparatory Treatment? Our Merritt Island Dental Practice Does That, Too

Patients with existing tooth decay or gum disease may require preparatory treatment before they are candidates for dentures. We can provide you with the necessary treatment to help ensure a healthy foundation for your restorations. Our dentists offer a wide variety of general and restorative treatment options to address all your needs.

The Treatment Process 

Treatment at our Merritt Island, FL, dental practice is slightly different for each patient, depending on your individual needs and the type of denture you have selected; however, treatment for traditional full and partial dentures generally consists of the following steps:

We use digital X-rays and a state-of-the-art cone beam CT scanner to capture the most precise 3D impressions. 
We use digital X-rays and a state-of-the-art cone beam CT scanner to capture the most precise 3D impressions. 

Preparatory Procedures

Before getting prosthetics, your gums and remaining teeth must be in good health. We can perform a range of restorative dentistry services to help you establish optimal oral health before treatment.

Detailed Impressions

Our dentists begin by taking detailed impressions of your smile to create a blueprint for your dentures. In addition to digital X-rays, we use a state-of-the-art cone beam CT scanner to capture the most precise 3D impressions. 

Denture Fabrication

We send the impressions and designs to our partner dental lab to begin production. Depending on your needs and budget, your prosthetics can be made from various materials, including porcelain or acrylic. 

Restoration

When your partial or full dentures are ready, you will return to the office for placement. During this time, our dentists make any necessary modifications and adjustments to ensure a snug and comfortable fit. Over the next few weeks, as your muscles grow and adapt, wearing the denture will gradually feel more natural. 

Maintaining Your Dentures

With proper care, your new dentures can last for 10 years or more. Maintenance will depend on your type of dentures.

Traditional Denture Care

Remove your dentures and brush them with a soft-bristled brush and a nonabrasive denture cleanser to remove food and other debris. Make sure to remove the denture adhesive from the grooves and apply new adhesive before you put them back in your mouth. It is also advised to soak your dentures overnight in a denture cleanser while you sleep.

Implant-Supported Denture Care

Your implant-supported dentures are secured directly to the implants so you won't be able to remove them on your own, but your dentist may remove them during regular exams and cleanings. Brush your dentures as you would your natural teeth with a soft-bristled brush and nonabrasive toothpaste.

Steven Schmid DDS is an excellent prosthodontist with a wonderful staff! Dr Schmid took his time to thoroughly go over details involved in the restoration portion of my implant procedure and the best path to take for my particular set of circumstances. I appreciate his enthusiastic spirit and knowledge. As a slightly anxious patient he is a real boost for my confidence. I definitely would recommend him highly.
