Restore your smile, your confidence, and your ability to eat and speak comfortably with custom dentures and partials designed to fit your unique oral anatomy. Dr. Nicholas Goetz delivers fellowship-trained prosthodontic care using advanced digital planning and precision fitting.
Losing teeth affects far more than your smile. It changes the way you eat, speak, and feel about yourself in everyday moments. For patients throughout Boynton Beach and Palm Beach County seeking a lasting solution to tooth loss, Ocean Breeze Implant Aesthetic Dentistry offers specialist-level prosthodontic treatment — custom dentures and partials planned and placed by Dr. Nicholas Goetz, one of approximately 150 fellowship-trained maxillofacial prosthodontists in the country.
Dentures are custom-made removable prostheses that replace missing teeth and the surrounding gum tissue. Full dentures replace an entire upper or lower arch; partial dentures fill in gaps when some natural teeth remain. Both are designed to restore chewing function, support facial structure, and improve speech and confidence.
Modern dentures are far more natural-looking and comfortable than older generations of prostheses. At Ocean Breeze Prosthodontics, Dr. Goetz uses precise bite measurements, detailed impressions, and careful selection of tooth shape and shade to create restorations that blend seamlessly with your appearance. According to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, tooth loss affects millions of American adults — proper restoration is essential not just for aesthetics but for long-term oral and overall health.
| Type | Best For | Removable | Typical Lifespan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Denture | All teeth missing (upper or lower) | Yes | 5–8 years |
| Partial Denture | Some natural teeth remaining | Yes | 5–10 years |
| Immediate Denture | Same-day placement after extractions | Yes | Temporary (3–6 months) |
| Implant-Supported Denture | Maximum stability, long-term health | Optional | 10–20+ years |
Custom restorations designed around your remaining teeth, bone structure, and long-term goals.
When all teeth in an arch are missing, full dentures replace the entire upper, lower, or both rows. Each set is custom-fabricated with a gum-colored acrylic base and carefully selected artificial teeth to match your facial structure and natural appearance. Dr. Goetz takes precise bite records and multiple fittings to ensure your full dentures rest comfortably and function reliably from the first day of wear.
When some natural teeth remain, a partial denture fills in the gaps with prosthetic teeth attached to a gum-colored base, held in place by clasps that connect to your natural teeth. Partials can be made with a metal framework for durability or a flexible nylon base for a more aesthetic, lightweight fit. A well-designed partial also prevents remaining teeth from shifting into the empty spaces over time.
If you need teeth extracted, immediate dentures allow you to leave the office that same day with a functional prosthesis — so there’s no period of going without teeth while your gums heal. These are temporary restorations that will need adjustments and relining as your gums change shape over the first few months. Once healing is complete, a permanent set is fabricated for the best possible long-term fit.
For patients seeking the most stable and long-lasting denture solution, implant-supported dentures anchor to titanium implants placed in the jawbone — eliminating slippage and preserving bone health over time. Dr. Goetz’s fellowship training in maxillofacial prosthodontics and implantology means he can plan and execute the full treatment from implant placement through final restoration at our Delray Beach practice.
Dentures and partials are among the most technically demanding restorations in dentistry — fit, bite balance, tooth selection, and gum aesthetics must all align for a result that functions well and looks natural for years. Dr. Nicholas Goetz brings fellowship-level maxillofacial prosthodontic training to every denture case. His approach begins with a comprehensive bite analysis and digital planning before any fabrication begins — determining the correct vertical dimension of occlusion, tooth position, and occlusal scheme before the laboratory fabricates a single component. For patients whose tooth loss is extensive enough to warrant implants, Dr. Goetz performs both the surgical and restorative phases in-house — whether that means All-on-X implants, implant-supported overdentures, or full mouth reconstruction. No referrals, no loss of continuity between phases.
Dr. Goetz reviews your bite, jaw structure, remaining teeth, and gum health to determine which denture type and materials are right for you. Impressions and bite records are taken at this visit.
Your dentures are crafted by a dental laboratory using your precise measurements. Tooth shape, shade, and gum color are selected to complement your facial features and look natural in your mouth.
A wax trial denture is placed so you can preview the look and bite before the final restoration is processed. Adjustments are made until fit and aesthetics are exactly right.
Your finished dentures are delivered and fine-tuned for comfort and bite balance. We provide complete care instructions and schedule follow-up visits to ensure a comfortable long-term fit — including relining as your gums naturally change over time.
We believe financial concerns should not keep you from treatment that can change your daily life. Ocean Breeze Implant Aesthetic Dentistry offers flexible financing options through Cherry and Alphaeon Credit so the path to a complete smile feels manageable. Dr. Suarez is in-network with MetLife, Delta Dental, Cigna, Aetna, and UnitedHealthcare.

Denture costs in the Boynton Beach and Delray Beach area vary based on the type, materials, and whether any preparatory work such as extractions is needed. Full dentures generally range from $1,000 to $3,000 per arch; partial dentures from $700 to $2,500. Implant-supported dentures range from $3,500 to $30,000+ depending on the number of implants and prosthetic design. Ocean Breeze Implant Aesthetic Dentistry offers flexible financing options through Cherry and Alphaeon Credit to help make treatment accessible.
Full and partial dentures typically last 5–10 years before relining or replacement is needed as gum and bone structure naturally change over time. Implant-supported dentures last 10–20+ years with proper care. Daily cleaning with a soft denture brush, soaking overnight in denture solution, and avoiding hot water (which can warp them) will extend the life of your restoration significantly.
No — you should remove your dentures at night and let them soak in a denture solution. This gives your gum tissue time to rest and recover, reduces bacterial buildup, and helps prevent soreness. It’s also an important step for long-term gum and bone health. If you’re experiencing discomfort or your dentures feel loose, don’t wait — these are signs you may need a reline or adjustment.
Most adults who have lost some or all of their teeth are candidates for conventional dentures or partials. If you’re interested in implant-supported dentures, adequate bone volume is needed — though bone grafting can often build the foundation needed for implants if some loss has occurred. Dr. Goetz evaluates your complete oral health picture during your consultation to determine which options make the most sense for your anatomy and goals.
Coverage varies by plan. While we’re not in-network, we file claims on your behalf to help maximize your PPO benefits. Many plans cover at least a portion of denture fabrication. We also offer flexible financing options — our team will review your coverage and discuss payment plans during your consultation.
If you’re ready to eat, speak, and smile with confidence again, we’re here to help. Schedule a consultation at Ocean Breeze Implant Aesthetic Dentistry in Boynton Beach and Dr. Goetz will walk you through every option for restoring your smile.
