New Patient Special
A full smile is worth having
Natural-looking results
Today's dentures look nothing like the ones from a generation ago. We use high-quality materials and precise fitting techniques to create restorations that match your facial structure and blend naturally with your appearance. Most people won't be able to tell the difference.
Restore the way you eat and speak
Missing teeth make everyday things harder. Chewing certain foods becomes difficult, speech can be affected, and confidence takes a hit. A well-fitted denture restores the function you've lost so you can eat what you want, speak clearly, and smile without thinking twice about it.
A solution that fits your budget
Dentures are one of the most accessible tooth replacement options available. Whether you're looking for a traditional full denture, a partial, or a precision-fitted digital denture, we'll help you find a solution that works for your situation and your budget.
Check your insurance
Options for every situation
Not everyone needs the same solution. We offer several denture types depending on how many teeth you're missing and what will work best for your mouth:
- Full dentures: Replace all teeth on the upper or lower arch
- Partial dentures: Fill in gaps when some natural teeth remain
- Immediate dentures: Placed the same day teeth are extracted so you're never without a smile
- Digital dentures: Precision-designed using digital scanning for a more accurate fit
Digital dentures
Traditional dentures rely on physical impressions and manual fabrication. Digital dentures use 3D scanning and computer-aided design to create a more precise fit from the start. The result is a denture that requires fewer adjustments, fits more comfortably, and can be reproduced exactly if it's ever lost or damaged.
Benefits of digital dentures include:
- More accurate fit with fewer follow-up adjustments
- Faster turnaround time
- Digital records stored so replacement is straightforward
- Consistent quality from the first fitting
Getting used to your dentures
New dentures take some adjustment. Most patients adapt fully within a few weeks. During that time:
- Minor soreness as your gums adjust is normal
- Speech may feel slightly different at first but improves quickly
- Stick to softer foods initially and gradually reintroduce your normal diet
- Follow the cleaning routine we provide to keep your dentures and gums healthy
We'll schedule follow-up appointments to check the fit and make any adjustments needed. Don't hesitate to call if something feels off between visits.

What to expect when you get new dentures
Consultation and exam
We'll examine your mouth, take X-rays, and discuss your goals, health history, and budget. If teeth need to be extracted first, we'll build that into your treatment plan.
Impressions and measurements
We take precise impressions or digital scans of your mouth along with measurements of your bite and jaw. This information is used to fabricate your denture.
Trial fitting
Before your final denture is completed, we'll have you try a trial version so we can check the fit, bite, and appearance and make any adjustments before fabrication is finalized.
Final fitting
Your finished denture is placed and checked for fit and comfort. We'll go over care instructions and answer any questions before you leave.
Follow-up appointments
We schedule follow-up visits to monitor the fit as your gums and bone naturally change shape over time. Adjustments are a normal part of the process, especially in the first few months.

Frequently Asked Questions
How soon after losing teeth can I get dentures?
It depends on the situation. Immediate dentures can be placed the same day as extraction. For a final denture, we typically wait for the gum tissue to fully heal, which takes a few months. We'll walk you through the timing at your consultation.
My dentures no longer fit well. What should I do?
Come in for an adjustment. Dentures that don't fit properly can cause sore spots, difficulty eating, and further bone loss. Relining or refitting can often restore a comfortable fit without the need for a full replacement.
What is the difference between traditional and digital dentures?
Traditional dentures are made from physical impressions and manual fabrication. Digital dentures use 3D scanning and computer-aided design for a more precise fit and consistent results. Digital records also make replacement straightforward if the denture is ever lost or damaged.
Are dentures covered by insurance?
Many plans cover a portion of denture costs. Coverage varies depending on your plan and whether you've met your deductible. We'll verify your benefits before your consultation and go over financing options for any remaining balance.
Will I be without teeth during the process?
In most cases, no. We can place immediate dentures the same day as an extraction so you always have something in place. Your final denture is typically ready within a few weeks.
How do I clean my dentures?
Remove and rinse them after eating. Brush them daily with a soft denture brush and mild soap, not regular toothpaste, which can be too abrasive. Soak them overnight in water or a denture solution to keep them from drying out.
Can I sleep with my dentures in?
We generally recommend removing dentures at night to give your gum tissue time to rest and to prevent accelerated bone loss. We'll give you specific guidance based on your situation.
Do dentures feel like real teeth?
Modern dentures are designed to look and feel as natural as possible, but there is an adjustment period. Most patients adapt fully within a few weeks and find that well-fitted dentures don't interfere significantly with daily life.
How long do dentures last?
Most dentures last five to ten years with proper care before they need to be relined or replaced. Changes in your jawbone over time can affect the fit, which is why regular checkups are important.
