About Dentures
Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth. We provide:
- Full dentures, which replace all the teeth in an upper or lower arch and rest on the gums.
- Partial dentures, which fill gaps when some natural teeth remain and attach to those teeth with clasps.
- Immediate dentures, which are made in advance and placed on the day teeth are extracted.
- Relines and repairs for existing dentures.
The gums and jawbone change shape over time, so the fit of a denture changes too. Relines, adjustments, or a new denture may be needed at some point. Implant-supported dentures are another option for some patients, and we can talk through the differences at an exam.
What to Expect
The first visit is an exam and a conversation about your goals. We take impressions and measurements, and you have a chance to try in the denture before it is finished so fit, bite, and appearance can be checked.
When the denture is placed, we make adjustments as needed, and follow-up visits are scheduled while your mouth adjusts. It is common to have some sore spots, more saliva, or small changes in speech at first. The number of visits depends on the case. We explain the treatment plan and its cost before any treatment begins.
Dentures should be taken out and cleaned daily with a soft denture brush, kept moist when out of the mouth, and handled over a towel or basin of water. If a denture cracks or breaks, call our office rather than repairing it at home.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my dentures need to be replaced?
At some point, yes. The gums and bone change over time, which affects fit. We check the fit at regular appointments and reline or remake a denture when it is needed.
Should I sleep with my dentures in?
It is generally recommended to take dentures out at night so the gum tissue can rest and the denture can be cleaned.
Do you accept my insurance?
Coverage depends on your plan. Call our office with your insurance information and we can talk through how it applies before your visit.
How much does a denture cost?
Cost depends on the treatment you need, which we can't know before an exam. We explain the treatment plan and its cost before any treatment begins.
