Restorative Dentistry
Dentures
Custom-fitted dentures that restore your smile, function, and confidence — including implant-supported options.
Modern dentures are dramatically better than those of a generation ago — lighter, more natural-looking, and better fitting. Whether you need to replace a few teeth or a full arch, we fabricate custom dentures designed to fit precisely, look natural, and function comfortably. For patients seeking maximum stability, implant-supported dentures offer a life-changing upgrade.
Complete vs. Partial Dentures
Complete dentures replace all teeth in an arch (upper, lower, or both). Partial dentures replace several missing teeth and clip onto the remaining natural teeth for stability. Both are removable and custom-made from impressions of your mouth. We work with premium dental laboratories to ensure a precise fit and natural appearance.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Traditional dentures rely on suction and the shape of your gums for retention — and they can slip, especially on the lower jaw. Implant-supported dentures anchor to 2–4 dental implants in the jaw, eliminating movement entirely. Patients who switch to implant-supported dentures consistently report improved chewing ability, speech, and quality of life.
Getting Used to Dentures
New dentures take time to adjust to. Most patients need 4–8 weeks to feel fully comfortable. Soreness, increased saliva, and minor speech changes are normal initially. We schedule follow-up appointments to make any necessary adjustments and ensure your bite is comfortable.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do dentures last?
Well-maintained dentures typically last 5–10 years before needing replacement. As your jaw changes shape over time, relining or replacing dentures ensures continued comfort and function.
Can I sleep with my dentures in?
We recommend removing dentures at night to allow your gum tissue to rest and to clean the dentures thoroughly. Sleeping in dentures increases the risk of gum irritation and oral infections.
Are dentures covered by insurance?
Most insurance plans provide partial coverage for dentures. We'll verify your specific benefits before treatment and provide a detailed cost estimate.
