Dentures in Lake Dallas
We build full and partial dentures around the shape of your gums, the way your jaws meet and the proportions of your face. Once you start wearing them, we bring you back to ease sore spots and teach you daily care, so your smile stays comfortable for years.
When dentures are the right choice
Dentures replace missing teeth with a removable set of acrylic or composite teeth on a base shaped to your gums. A full denture replaces every tooth in an arch. A partial denture fills gaps and clips to the natural teeth you still have, which helps keep those teeth from drifting.
They are a sensible option when most of your teeth are already gone, when the ones left are too damaged to rescue, or when placing several dental implants feels like more treatment than you want right now. For people who want more stability, we can also discuss dentures that snap onto a small number of implants. Both paths go into your treatment plan so you can weigh them side by side.
A good denture is only partly finished on delivery day. Gums change shape, especially in the months following extractions, so we schedule follow-up visits to refine the fit and explain daily care.
What your denture care includes
- 01
A full evaluation first
We examine your gums, any remaining teeth and the bone underneath, with digital X-rays and a CBCT scan if needed. This tells us whether a full, partial or implant-supported denture makes sense.
- 02
Precise impressions and bite records
We take detailed impressions and record how your jaws meet. A denture that matches your bite chews better and rubs less.
- 03
Tooth shade and shape selection
You help choose the color, size and shape of the teeth. We aim for a natural look that suits your face rather than a uniform white row.
- 04
A try-in before the final set
You wear a wax version so we can check the fit, the speech and the look before anything is finished. Changes are easy at this stage.
- 05
Adjustment visits after delivery
We check back with you in the days and weeks once you start wearing the denture. Small pressure points are smoothed out so they do not become sore spots.
- 06
Care instructions you can follow
We show you how to clean the denture, how to store it at night and how to care for your gums, so the fit and finish last.
Questions about Dentures?
Call(940) 291-9604Signs it may be time for dentures
Several missing teeth
Gaps make chewing harder and let the teeth that remain shift or tip. A partial or full denture restores the arch.
Teeth that are loose or failing
When gum disease or decay has weakened most teeth, saving each one may not be practical. We give you an honest answer about what can be kept.
A current denture that rocks or rubs
Gums and bone shrink over time, so an older denture can slip, click or cause sores. A reline or a new set may solve it.
Avoiding foods you used to enjoy
If you cut everything small or skip crunchy foods, your chewing has already changed. That is worth a conversation.
Hiding your smile
Many patients come in because they stopped smiling in photos. Replacing missing teeth often changes that quickly.
How we make your dentures
- 1
Focused evaluation
Your first visit covers an exam, digital X-rays and a CBCT scan if needed. We talk through options and give you a clear treatment plan with costs explained.
- 2
Impressions and records
We take impressions and bite measurements and choose the tooth shade with you. If any teeth need to come out first, we schedule that through our extractions service.
- 3
Try-in appointment
You see and wear a wax model of your new teeth. We check how you speak and smile and adjust before the final set is processed.
- 4
Delivery and first adjustment
We fit the finished denture, refine any tight spots and walk you through cleaning, eating and whether to wear it overnight.
- 5
Follow-up visits
We see you again once you have worn the denture for a short while, then as needed. Each visit, we ease pressure points and check how your gums are responding.
What affects the cost of dentures
Denture costs vary with the type you choose and the work your mouth needs first. We explain each part of your treatment plan before we begin, so nothing on the bill is a surprise. If you carry PPO coverage, our office is in-network with 15+ major PPO dental insurance plans, and we can look up your benefits for you.
- Full, partial or implant-supported
- A partial with a metal framework, a full acrylic denture and a denture that snaps onto dental implants involve different materials and steps.
- Extractions beforehand
- If failing teeth need to be removed, that adds visits and may call for an interim denture while your gums heal.
- Materials and finish
- Higher-grade teeth resist wear and staining better and look more natural. We show you the differences so you can decide.
- Relines over time
- As gums settle after extractions, a reline may be needed to restore a snug fit. We tell you upfront when that is likely.
Dentures questions we hear often
How long does it take to get used to new dentures?
Most patients need a few weeks to adapt to speaking and eating. Some soreness at the start is normal, and that is why we schedule follow-up visits to adjust the fit. Start with soft foods cut small and work up from there.
Should I sleep with my dentures in?
We usually recommend taking them out at night so your gums can rest. Store them in water or a soaking solution so they do not dry out and warp. We go over this in detail at delivery.
How do I clean my dentures?
Brush them daily with a soft denture brush and a non-abrasive cleaner, not regular toothpaste, which can scratch the surface. Rinse after meals and clean over a folded towel or a sink of water in case they slip. Brush your gums and tongue too.
Can dentures be made more secure?
Yes. A denture that clips onto a small number of dental implants stays put while you eat and speak. We can check whether you have enough bone for this at your evaluation.
What if I do not have dental insurance?
Uninsured patients can join our In-house Membership Plan. Many people also spread the cost with 0% interest financing for up to 24 months, and seeing whether you preapprove has no credit score impact.
