Dentures

Dentures are prosthetic teeth designed to replace missing teeth, offering both removable and implant-anchored solutions. Options range from a single partial denture that fills a gap to a full upper or lower arch, which can be optionally stabilized by 2–4 dental implants for a significantly steadier and more secure fit.

Dentures have seen significant advancements in the last decade. While conventional removable dentures remain an excellent solution for many, patients experiencing issues with slipping, clicking, or limited eating options can now benefit from implant-supported overdentures and full-arch fixed solutions like All-on-4. We offer a comprehensive range of options at both our offices, ensuring every patient understands the realistic trade-offs before making a commitment.

As a multi-specialty practice, we ensure that both the surgical and prosthetic aspects of your treatment are seamlessly handled by our integrated team, all under one roof. Our experienced oral surgery-focused dentist performs extractions and any necessary pre-prosthetic surgery. For implant-supported and All-on-4 cases, our board-certified periodontist precisely places the implants. Finally, a restorative dentist meticulously designs and delivers the prosthetic, utilizing photos, digital scans, and (for cosmetic cases) a wax-up, allowing you to visualize your new smile before its finalization.

Every journey begins with a comprehensive consultation, including a focused exam, a 3D scan (especially when implants are considered), and a detailed written treatment plan with transparent cost estimates. We prioritize patient choice and never pressure anyone towards the most expensive option; often, a well-fitting conventional denture proves to be the ideal solution.

Who it's a good fit for

  • You're missing several teeth and want a removable option that looks natural
  • You're losing your remaining teeth and need a same-day denture so you're not without teeth
  • Your current denture slips, clicks, or no longer fits and you want a reline, repair, or upgrade
  • You're tired of denture adhesive and want implant-supported stability
  • You're considering full-arch implants and want to compare all options before deciding

What to expect

  1. Consult: exam, 3D scan if implants are on the table, written plan with costs
  2. Surgery if needed: extractions or implant placement under local anesthetic (sedation available)
  3. Healing: 2–4 months for gums; 3–6 months for implant integration when applicable
  4. Try-ins and fit checks: digital scans, wax-ups, or bite adjustments for cosmetic cases
  5. Delivery: final denture seated; immediate dentures placed the day of extractions when planned

Common questions

What kinds of dentures do you offer?
All of them: complete (full) dentures for an entire arch, partials for filling gaps when natural teeth remain, immediate dentures placed the same day teeth are extracted, implant-supported overdentures that snap onto 2–4 implants, and full-arch fixed solutions like All-on-4. We also do repairs and relines on existing dentures.
What's the difference between a regular denture and All-on-4?
A conventional denture rests on the gums and is removable. All-on-4 is a permanent set of teeth screwed onto four implants, never comes out, and feels close to natural teeth. Implant-supported overdentures sit between the two: they snap onto 2–4 implants for stability but you still take them out at night.
What is recovery like after All-on-4 or full-arch implants?
Most patients leave with a temporary set of fixed teeth the same day as surgery, so you are never without teeth. Many people take about 2–5 days off work for the initial swelling, then eat soft foods while the implants fuse to the bone over 3–6 months before the final prosthetic is placed. Full-arch implants have a high long-term success rate, around 95–98%, and the implants themselves often last a lifetime with good care.
Can I get an immediate denture so I'm not without teeth?
Yes. Immediate dentures are designed before extractions and placed at the same appointment, so you leave with teeth on day one. The fit is refined over the following months as gums heal, and a permanent reline (or a new denture) is made once healing is complete.
How long do dentures last?
Conventional dentures typically last 5–10 years before they need to be remade. The mouth changes shape over time and the fit changes with it. Implant-supported and All-on-4 prosthetics last considerably longer, often 15+ years for the prosthetic and a lifetime for the implants themselves with proper care.
How much do dentures cost?
It varies widely. Basic complete dentures are the most affordable; implant-supported overdentures cost more (you're paying for the implants too); All-on-4 is the highest-investment option but also the most natural-feeling. We quote your specific case in writing at the consult, and Care Credit and Cherry financing are available.
Will my insurance help cover dentures?
Most dental plans cover at least part of conventional dentures. Implant-supported and All-on-4 cases are sometimes partially covered (the implant surgery, the prosthetic, or both, depending on your plan). We verify benefits before treatment and provide a clear estimate.
Are dentures FSA or HSA eligible?
Yes. Conventional dentures, immediate dentures, implant-supported overdentures, and full-arch fixed solutions like All-on-4 are all eligible expenses under FSA and HSA accounts. So are denture relines, repairs, and adhesives if you need them.
How do I take care of my dentures?
Take removable dentures out at night and store them in water or a denture solution. Clean them daily with a soft brush and mild soap (not regular toothpaste, which is abrasive). Brush your gums and tongue too, even without natural teeth. Implant-supported and All-on-4 prosthetics are cared for in place — we'll show you the cleaning routine at delivery.
