Dentures

Types of Dentures

• Full dentures: replace all the teeth on the upper or lower jaw and rest on your gums.
• Partial dentures: fill gaps when you still have some healthy natural teeth, attaching with discreet clasps.
• Immediate dentures: placed the same day your teeth are removed, so you never go without teeth while you heal.
• Implant-supported dentures: snap onto dental implants for a secure fit that won't slip, and help preserve your jawbone.

Are Dentures Right for You?

Dentures may be a good fit if you:

• Are missing many or all of your teeth
• Have several teeth that can't be saved
• Want an affordable way to restore your smile and chewing
• Have an old denture that no longer fits comfortably

What to Expect

1. Consultation. We examine your mouth, discuss your options, and explain the cost and timeline.
2. Impressions and measurements. We record the shape of your mouth and how your jaws meet.
3. Try-in. You preview a wax model to check the fit, look and bite before the final denture is made.
4. Fitting. We deliver your finished denture and adjust it for comfort.
5. Follow-up. It's normal for sore spots to appear in the first weeks. We'll make quick adjustments until it feels right.

Denture FAQs

How long does it take to get used to dentures?

Most people adjust within a few weeks. Speaking and eating get easier with practice. Start with soft foods cut into small pieces.

How long do dentures last?

Dentures usually last 5 to 10 years. Your jaw changes over time, so they may need relining or adjusting along the way.

How do I care for my dentures?

Brush them daily with a soft brush, soak them overnight, and rinse after meals. Keep visiting us so we can check your gums and the fit.

Can my loose denture be fixed?

Often, yes. A reline can improve the fit, or we can stabilize it with implants for a much more secure hold.

Are dentures covered by insurance?

Many plans cover part of the cost. We'll check your benefits and give you an estimate up front.
