Dentures in Foley, AL

On the coast, we love good food—fresh Gulf seafood, sweet tea, and backyard BBQ are at the heart of many gatherings. But if missing teeth or loose, ill-fitting dentures make eating a struggle, it’s hard to enjoy the flavors you love. The good news is that modern dentures are more comfortable, secure, and natural-looking than ever.

With the right denture, you can savor every meal, speak clearly, and smile confidently once again. Don’t let tooth loss hold you back from life’s greatest pleasures—discover how dentures from Riviera Dental Care can give you the comfort and confidence to enjoy every moment.

Conventional Full and Partial Dentures

Dentures in Foley, AL | Same-Day Services and Implant DenturesFor those with missing teeth, conventional dentures remain a trusted solution. They come in two main types:

Full dentures, also called complete dentures, are for patients who have lost all their teeth in the upper or lower arch (or both). They rest on the gums and rely on suction and saliva to stay in place. Upper dentures cover the roof of the mouth for added stability, while lower dentures are shaped to fit snugly along the jawbone.

Typically crafted from durable acrylic, full dentures include a gum-colored base and a set of artificial teeth designed to look as natural as possible. With diligent care, they can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years before needing replacement.

Partial dentures, on the other hand, are for those with some healthy natural teeth remaining. These removable appliances clip onto your teeth with small metal or acrylic clasps. They’re constructed to blend naturally with the rest of your smile, restoring function and appearance.

Like full dentures, partials are usually made from acrylic, but they can also have a metal framework for added strength. With good maintenance, partial dentures can sometimes last up to 15 years, depending on the materials used.

Same-Day Services

Getting dentures doesn’t have to be a long, drawn-out process. Thanks to our in-house denture lab, we can create same-day dentures and provide fast partial denture repairs—there’s no need to wait weeks or rely on an off-site lab. Our streamlined process prioritizes convenience without compromising quality.

Same-Day Dentures

In just one day, you can have a brand-new smile that’s designed for comfort, function, and a natural look. Here’s how it works:

Morning: Impressions and Extractions

The process starts in the morning with detailed impressions of your mouth, which help us create a precise model for your new dentures. We’ll also discuss your desired color and look so that your smile is tailored to your preferences.

Mid-Morning: Denture Design, Fabrication, and Try-In

Once we have your scans or impressions, our in-house lab gets to work. We use advanced technology, such as CAD/CAM design and 3D printing, to craft your dentures with exceptional accuracy. We also use high-quality materials to ensure a strong, long-lasting fit.

At this stage, you’ll do a “try-in” with the teeth set in wax, allowing us to check the fit and appearance. This step lets us make any necessary adjustments to ensure your final dentures fit comfortably and look natural.

Afternoon: Extractions, Fitting, and Adjustments

Later that day, you’ll return for your final denture fitting. We will check the alignment, comfort, and overall appearance of your dentures. We can also make any necessary tweaks so that they look and feel great.

If you need extractions, we’ll perform them just before the denture is put in. After removing the teeth, we’ll add bone graft material, suture the gums, and place the denture—which actually helps support the healing process.

Aftercare and Follow-Up

Before you leave, we’ll provide care instructions so you can extend the life of your new dentures. If needed, we may schedule a follow-up visit to make additional refinements and ensure your comfort and satisfaction.

Same-Day Partial Denture Repairs

A broken or ill-fitting partial denture can disrupt your day—but at Riviera Dental Care, we offer same-day partial denture repairs to get you smiling again quickly. At our in-house lab, we can fix cracks, replace missing teeth, and adjust the fit without long wait times. Whether your partial needs a minor repair or a more complex adjustment, our team will work efficiently to restore it. With a proper fit, you can enjoy worry-free wear.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Dentures have come a long way, and today, implant dentures provide a modern alternative for patients who want a more stable tooth replacement solution. By placing dental implants into the jawbone, we can create a secure foundation for a denture or roundhouse bridge. Because implant dentures are firmly anchored to the jaw, they offer significantly greater stability, allowing for a stronger, more natural bite force.

This added stability makes everyday functions like eating and speaking much easier. You’ll be able to enjoy a wider variety of foods—especially those that are difficult to chew with conventional dentures, such as dense meats or sticky desserts—without worrying about your dentures slipping. With a more secure fit, implant dentures restore confidence in daily activities that traditional dentures can make challenging.

Beyond improved function, implant dentures are more durable and contribute to long-term bone health. Because they rely on strong titanium implants for support, they experience less wear and tear. And those titanium implants integrate well with the bone tissue, allowing them to function like tooth roots. This really sets implant options apart. Unlike traditional dentures, which sit on the gums without engaging the jawbone, implants apply gentle pressure when you bite and chew. This pressure stimulates the bone and prevents it from shrinking over time. As a result, implant dentures provide a more stable, comfortable fit with additional benefits for your bone health.

Mini Implant Dentures

Riviera Dental Care is a Mini Dental Implant Center of America in Foley, AL, which highlights our commitment to innovative denture care. Our team often uses mini dental implants to anchor dentures because they work well for most patients and deliver excellent results. While conventional implants need ample jawbone space, mini implants are a great option for denture patients who have experienced bone loss.

With these innovative implants, we provide a more convenient and efficient solution for securing dentures. Unlike traditional implants, mini dental implants are a minimally invasive option. Because they are half the size and just one piece, we can place them in the jaw using a gentle and efficient technique.

With mini dental implants, you can choose a denture solution that works best for your lifestyle and budget. Some are removable for easy cleaning, while others stay in place permanently. We also provide both economical materials and premium, high-end options to suit your needs. No matter your preference, we have a solution for you.

Rediscover Life’s Simple Pleasures With New Dentures

A great meal isn’t just about the food—it’s about the experience: the laughter shared over a plate of fresh Gulf seafood, the warmth of a backyard BBQ with friends, or the simple pleasure of sipping sweet tea on a summer evening.

Frequently Asked Questions

We offer a variety of mini implant denture solutions so you can choose what fits your lifestyle best:

  • Snap-in dentures: Also called implant-retained overdentures, these attach to mini implants with small O-rings. They provide a snug fit but are still removable for easy cleaning.
  • Semi-removable roundhouse bridge (Fix-on-Six®): This full-arch bridge stays in place all the time, but our dentists can remove it for deep cleanings. You never have to worry about taking it out!
  • Non-removable roundhouse bridge: The most secure option, this roundhouse bridge is permanently cemented onto mini implants. As a fully fixed solution, this denture alternative looks, feels, and functions the most like your natural teeth.

No matter your preference, we’ve got an option to bring back your smile!

The cost of dentures depends on a few things, like the type of denture, the materials used, and whether you’re getting dental implants for extra stability. No two smiles are the same, and neither is cost. On top of these considerations, some insurance plans cover part of the cost, while other policies are more limited. However, we offer flexible financing options to make treatment more affordable. The best way to get a tailored cost estimate is to visit us for a consultation. We’ll go over your options, talk about your budget, and help you find the right fit—both for your mouth and your wallet.
