What to expect with dentures
Getting dentures is a process that involves several appointments to ensure the best possible fit and appearance. Here’s what you can expect.
Consultation
We’ll examine your mouth, discuss your goals, and explain your options—including traditional dentures, partial dentures, and implant-supported solutions.
Impressions & Measurements
Precise impressions and measurements of your mouth ensure your dentures will fit comfortably and look natural.
Try-In Appointment
Before your final dentures are made, we’ll have you try a preliminary version to check the fit, bite, and appearance. Adjustments can be made at this stage.

Schedule Your ConsultationWhat types of dentures are available?
We offer full dentures (replacing all teeth), partial dentures (replacing some teeth while preserving natural ones), and implant-supported dentures (anchored to dental implants for added stability). We’ll help you determine which option is best for your situation.
What are implant-supported dentures?
These dentures attach to dental implants placed in your jawbone, providing superior stability compared to traditional dentures. They won’t slip or shift, and they help stimulate healthy jawbone growth.
How long do dentures last?
The American Dental Association recommends replacing dentures every 5-7 years to ensure proper fit and appearance. Over time, your mouth changes shape, and dentures can wear down or stain. Regular checkups help us monitor when replacement may be needed.
Will dentures affect how I eat and speak?
There’s typically an adjustment period when you first get dentures. With practice, most patients adapt within a few weeks and can eat and speak normally. We’ll provide tips to help you through this transition.
How do I care for my dentures?
Remove and rinse dentures after eating. Brush them daily with a soft brush and denture cleaner (not regular toothpaste). Soak them overnight to keep them moist. Handle them carefully to avoid dropping. Continue to visit us regularly for checkups.
