Dentures & Partials in St. Petersburg, FL

What Are Dentures and Partials?

Dentures are removable prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissue. They are custom-made to fit your mouth precisely, restoring both aesthetics and function.

Depending on your needs, we offer:

Full Dentures

Replace all teeth in the upper or lower arch (or both). These restorations rest comfortably on your gums and are designed for stability, natural appearance, and comfort.

Partial Dentures

Used when some natural teeth remain, partials attach securely using discreet clasps or precision attachments. They fill in gaps while preventing remaining teeth from shifting out of place.

Implant-Supported Dentures

For superior stability, dentures can be anchored to dental implants for a secure, comfortable fit that eliminates slipping or movement.

Dr. Knowles will recommend the best option for your lifestyle, oral health, and budget.
