Dentures and Partial Dentures in North Port, FL
One dentist, from impressions to final fit.
Losing teeth, whether it's a few or all of them, affects how you eat, speak, and smile. A well-fitted denture can give a lot of that back. At McCartney Dental, Dr. McCartney takes your impressions and measurements himself, checks the fit himself, and handles your adjustments himself. You work with one dentist from start to finish.
Your Options
Full Dentures vs. Partials
- Full dentures replace every tooth in an upper or lower arch.
- Partial dentures replace some missing teeth while your remaining natural teeth stay in place, usually held with a metal or acrylic framework.
- Implant-supported dentures attach to dental implants for a more secure fit. A trusted local specialist places the implants, and Dr. McCartney plans the case with them and restores it with the denture.
- Immediate dentures are also available and can be placed the same day teeth are extracted, so you're never without teeth during the healing process.
If you need extractions first, Dr. McCartney can talk with you about how that fits into your timeline.

Most denture cases involve four visits:
The overall timeline depends on your case complexity and local lab turnaround times. Dr. McCartney will give you an estimated schedule at your consultation.
Getting Used to It
A New Denture Takes Some Adjustment
A new denture takes some getting used to, in how it feels and how you speak and eat. That's normal. If something feels off afterward, tell us. Most adjustments are included in the fee, depending on the case and timeframe.
Insurance and Cost
We contact your insurance carrier before treatment and explain what's typically covered, your annual maximum, and how much remains. For larger cases, our treatment plan coordinator sets aside time to go over coverage and payment options before any work begins.
We accept most insurance plans, offer discounts for patients without coverage, and accept CareCredit (subject to credit approval).
