The basics

Complete, Partial, and Timing Matters

A denture is a custom-made, removable set of replacement teeth. A complete denture replaces every tooth in an arch: top, bottom, or both. A partial fills the gaps left by several missing teeth, resting on the natural teeth you still have. Both are built from an impression of your own mouth, so the fit, shape, and shade are made for you.

Why the timing changes the plan

Timing matters too. A conventional denture is made after your gums heal from any extractions and fits more predictably once tissue settles. An immediate denture is placed the same day as your extractions, so you’re never without teeth. But your gums keep changing shape as you heal, so it typically needs a reline later. With our iTero Lumina scanner and digital smile preview, you can often see how your new smile will look before treatment even begins.

Who it’s for

New Denture, or a Denture That Stopped Fitting

Dentures make sense if you’re missing several teeth in a row, most of an arch, or all of it: from decay, gum disease, injury, or years of wear.

It’s also worth a conversation if your current denture has started to feel loose, clicks when you talk, or you’ve been avoiding certain foods because it doesn’t feel secure. A denture that fit well five years ago doesn’t necessarily fit today: gums and bone keep changing shape over time. Everyone’s welcome here, whatever stage brought you in.

If a removable denture never quite feels secure, it can often be anchored to a small number of implants so it stops slipping. Planned and placed by our team, without being sent elsewhere for part of the work.

What to expect

From Impression to Final Fit

01

Consultation & exam

Your mouth, any remaining teeth, your goals, and an honest talk about complete vs. partial, conventional vs. immediate.

02

Impressions & bite

A mold of your mouth and a record of how your jaws meet, so your bite feels natural.

03

Wax try-in

You try a wax version so we check fit, shape, and shade together before anything is finalized.

04

Placement

Immediate: new teeth the same day as extractions. Conventional: once your gums have healed.

05

Follow-up adjustments

Some soreness or a slight lisp in the first weeks is common: we see you back to fine-tune the fit, at your own pace.

Designed, Fitted, and Adjusted Right Here

Our team designs, fits, and adjusts your denture right here, from your first impression to your final fitting. You’re not sent to a different office partway through. We’ll tell you honestly what a denture can and can’t do for your case, and recommend only what you actually need.

A denture doesn’t have to be the last stop, either. Patients sometimes ask about a denture that doesn’t come out at all: what they usually mean is an implant-secured denture that’s fixed in place instead of removable. It’s a bigger step up front, but for the right case, it’s worth the conversation, and it happens with this same team.

Insurance Often Helps With Dentures

Every denture case is different. Complete or partial, conventional or immediate, and the materials you choose all affect the cost: we’ll go over real numbers clearly after your exam.

Dental insurance often covers part of a denture, and we’re in-network with most major plans and accept Medicaid. Call ahead and our team will check your specific coverage before your visit.

Denture Questions

A complete denture replaces every tooth in an arch. A partial fills in several missing teeth while resting on the natural teeth you still have, using clasps or attachments to stay in place.

Often, yes: that’s an immediate denture. You leave with teeth the same day, but because your gums and bone keep changing shape as you heal, it typically needs an adjustment or reline once things settle.

Yes. It’s custom-shaped and shaded to fit your mouth, not a generic set. We work with you at the wax try-in stage, and our digital smile preview can give you a sense of the result before it’s finalized.

With normal care, many patients get several years of comfortable use, though gums and bone keep changing, which is why a reline or a new denture is often needed down the road. If long-term stability matters most, we’ll also walk you through implant-secured options.

Often, yes. We can anchor your denture to a small number of implants so it stops slipping, without redesigning it from scratch. We’ll assess your case at a consult.

Yes. We’re in-network with most major plans and accept Medicaid. Call ahead and our team will check your specific coverage before your visit, with financing for anything left over.
