Dentures

Full, partial, or stabilized

A full denture replaces all the teeth in an arch, a partial fills in around teeth you still have, and an implant-supported denture snaps onto implants so it stays put while you eat. The right choice depends on which teeth remain, the shape of your ridge, and how much stability you want.

Fit is a process, not a single appointment

A new denture is shaped over several visits — records, a try-in you can see and speak with, then delivery and adjustments as the tissue settles. Those follow-up adjustments are part of the treatment, not an afterthought.

The options, plainly

Most people arrive with one of three situations: all the teeth in an arch are gone or need to go, some teeth are still healthy and worth keeping, or they already wear a denture that no longer stays where it should. Each points to a different solution.

We take records, examine the ridge and any remaining teeth, and show you what each option would look like and cost before anything is made. If keeping a few natural teeth would give you a better-fitting partial, we will tell you that rather than removing them.

  • Full denture — replaces every tooth in the upper or lower arch
  • Partial denture — fills gaps and clasps to the teeth you keep
  • Immediate denture — placed at the time of extractions so you are never without teeth
  • Implant-supported overdenture — clips onto two or more implants for stability
  • Reline or repair — refits a denture you already own as the ridge changes

What the first weeks feel like

A new denture feels bulky at first, and speech and eating take practice. That is normal and it improves. We start you on softer foods, cut into smaller pieces, and build up from there.

Sore spots are expected and easy to adjust — do not wait them out. A short adjustment visit takes minutes and makes the difference between a denture you wear and one that sits in a drawer.

Why dentures loosen over time

Once teeth are gone, the bone that held them slowly changes shape. A denture that fit perfectly a few years ago can begin to rock or slide because the ridge beneath it has flattened, not because the denture is broken.

That is what a reline addresses, and it is also why implant-supported options appeal to people who have worn a lower denture for years. Two implants can transform how securely a lower denture sits.

Daily care and longevity

Dentures are cleaned outside the mouth with a brush and a denture cleaner, never with toothpaste, which is abrasive. Leave them out overnight so the tissue underneath can rest, and keep them in water so they do not dry and warp.

Come in for a yearly check even if nothing hurts. We look at the fit, the bite, and the health of the tissue and any remaining teeth — and screen for oral cancer, which denture wearers should not skip.

Fees and payment

Dentures are quoted per case, because the number of teeth, any extractions, and whether implants are involved all change the total. You receive written fees before treatment starts.

Although we are not in network with any dental plans, we will submit claims to your insurance electronically so you can maximize your out-of-network benefits. CareCredit is available for qualified applicants.

A general comparison. A clinical evaluation determines what suits your ridge, bite, and remaining teeth.

Is it right for you?

Who this tends to suit

Often a good fit

  • Missing most or all of the teeth in an arch
  • An older denture that slips, rocks, or no longer fits
  • Gaps that make chewing or speaking difficult
  • A preference for a removable solution over fixed work

Worth discussing first

  • Active gum disease or infection, which we treat first
  • A very flat lower ridge, where implants often make the difference
  • Dry mouth from medications, which affects comfort and retention
  • Strong gag response, which changes how we design the upper denture
