For Patients Who Are Ready for a Fresh Start

Many patients wait because they feel embarrassed, anxious, or unsure where to begin. Your denture consultation is designed to give you a calm, practical path forward.

Broken or Painful Teeth

If chewing hurts or teeth keep breaking, we can review whether extractions and dentures are the right next step.

Loose or Uncomfortable Dentures

We can discuss better-fitting dentures, implant-supported dentures, or snap-in options for more stability.

Severe Dental Anxiety

If fear has kept you away, IV sedation may be discussed after a health and safety review.

Embarrassed to Smile

You will be met with respect, privacy, and a no-pressure conversation about realistic denture options.

Denture Options We Offer

Your denture plan should fit your health, timeline, budget, and comfort goals. We will compare your options clearly so you can make a confident decision.

Traditional Full Dentures

Custom full dentures can replace an upper arch, lower arch, or both after healing and planning.

Immediate Dentures

For appropriate cases, dentures may be planned before extractions so you have teeth during the initial healing period.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Snap-in dentures can use dental implants to improve stability and reduce slipping while eating or speaking.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures may replace several missing teeth when some healthy natural teeth remain.

Traditional vs. Implant-Supported Dentures

Both options can restore your smile. The right choice depends on comfort, stability, bone support, budget, and whether you want a removable or more secure solution.

Traditional Dentures

Traditional dentures rest on the gums and are removable for cleaning. They can be a practical, more affordable choice for many patients.

  • Custom fit for your mouth and bite
  • No implant surgery required
  • May need adjustments as your mouth changes

Implant-Supported or Snap-In Dentures

Implants can anchor a denture for better retention. This can help patients who are frustrated by loose dentures or want improved chewing confidence.

  • Improved stability compared with removable dentures alone
  • May reduce reliance on denture adhesives
  • Requires implant candidacy, planning, and healing time

What to Expect During the Denture Process

We will walk you through each step before treatment begins, including timing, insurance benefits, financing, and follow-up visits.

1

Consultation

Review goals, health history, existing teeth, denture concerns, and comfort needs.

2

Planning

Take records and explain traditional, immediate, partial, and implant-supported options.

3

Treatment

Plan extractions, denture delivery, and sedation candidacy when treatment requires it.

4

Adjustment

New dentures take practice. Immediate dentures often need follow-up adjustments or relines as tissues heal.

5

Maintenance

We review cleaning, fit, bite comfort, and long-term options for stability.

Full-Mouth Extractions and Immediate Dentures

If many teeth are painful, broken, infected, or no longer predictable to save, we can help you understand whether full-mouth extractions and immediate dentures make sense. This section is part of your denture plan, not a one-size-fits-all recommendation.

Clear Timing
Understand when teeth are removed, when dentures are placed, and how healing affects fit.
No-Judgment Planning
You will be met with respect and practical options for getting your smile back.

IV Sedation for Denture and Extraction Treatment

Denture treatment can feel overwhelming, especially if you need extractions or have dental anxiety. IV sedation may be reviewed for appropriate cases after a health and safety evaluation.

Comfort Planning
Talk through anxiety, past dental experiences, and the procedure details that worry you most.
Safety Review
Sedation eligibility depends on your health history, medications, and clinical needs.

Denture Costs, Insurance and Financing

Denture costs depend on the type of denture, whether extractions are needed, whether implants are involved, sedation needs, imaging, and insurance benefits. We accept many insurance plans including Medicaid and Delta Dental, and we offer 3rd party financing options.

Denture FAQs

How much do dentures cost?
Cost depends on the denture type, number of teeth involved, imaging, extractions, sedation, implants, and insurance benefits. We will review costs and financing options before treatment begins.
Can teeth be removed and dentures placed on the same day?
Many patients ask about immediate dentures after extractions. Whether same-day placement is appropriate depends on your oral health, healing needs, bite, and treatment plan.
What is the difference between traditional and implant-supported dentures?
Traditional dentures rest on the gums and are removable. Implant-supported or snap-in dentures attach to dental implants for added stability and may reduce slipping.
How long does it take to get used to dentures?
It is normal for speech, chewing, and fit to feel different at first. Most people improve with practice and follow-up adjustments, especially while the mouth heals after extractions.
Does insurance cover dentures?
Coverage varies by plan. Our team can verify your benefits and explain estimated out-of-pocket costs before treatment begins.
Can loose dentures be stabilized with implants?
In some cases, yes. Dental implants can help secure snap-in dentures, but candidacy depends on bone support, oral health, medical history, budget, and treatment goals.
Do you offer partial dentures?
Yes. Partial dentures may be an option when several teeth are missing but some healthy natural teeth remain.
Is IV sedation available for denture or extraction treatment?
IV sedation may be available for appropriate cases. Your dentist will review your health history, medications, procedure needs, and safety considerations before recommending sedation.
