Dentures - Complete & Partial in Arlington

What Is a Denture?

Constructed using artificial teeth and an acrylic base, dentures are a custom-made dental appliance designed to look and function like natural teeth. With dentures, you can restore your smile’s appearance while preserving your jaw’s function. These appliances are available in several styles, so call our office to learn whether our affordable quality dentures are right for you.

What Are the Different Styles of Dentures?

Today’s dental advances allow dentists to offer several types of appliances to meet patients’ needs. Give us a call to learn more about the following types of affordable quality dentures:

Full Denture

If you are missing the majority of teeth in an arch, the dentist may suggest a full denture. These dentures can be used in the upper or lower jaw, and they are attached to the gums using adhesive or dental implants. When receiving a full denture, any remaining teeth will be removed from the affected arch.

Partial Denture

Those with multiple healthy teeth remaining may be good candidates for a partial appliance. A partial denture is similar to a bridge; however, a bridge relies on crowns for support while a partial relies on surrounding teeth. An easy-to-use clasp system allows you to remove the partial for cleaning.

Flexible Partial

A discreet, restorative option, a flexible partial is designed to naturally move with your mouth as you chew and speak. It also features gum-colored clasps that blend seamlessly with your mouth.

Implant-Supported Denture

Implant-supported dentures offer patients a secure fit without the use of bonding agents. Instead of adhesive, this appliance is placed in the mouth using dental implants. This type of denture can be removable or fixed, depending on your needs.

What Will Happen When I Get Dentures?

Many patients have questions regarding what to expect during the dentures procedure. First, the dentist will assess your smile and bite, taking impressions and measurements as needed. Then, extractions of any remaining teeth will be performed. If you are undergoing implant surgery, you will do so before the denture is placed. Temporary dentures are available to wear while your gums heal. During the last step, the new denture is fitted and adjusted during a final appointment. Please contact us if you have further questions about the denture procedure.

How Much Does a Denture Cost?

One of the most common questions we receive is, “How much do dentures cost?” The total cost of the denture procedure usually depends on your insurance, the type of appliance chosen, and how many appointments are necessary. At your consultation, we’ll outline the anticipated costs and help you find an affordable solution.

What Is a Soft Denture Reline?

A soft reline for dentures allows you to reduce sore spots and pain caused by regular denture wear. During this procedure, the dentist adds a soft, flexible coating to the underside of your denture. This allows the appliance to sit on the gums more easily.
