Dentures in Flower Mound
Our full and partial dentures are built to sit snugly, suit your face and handle everyday meals. Every set is shaped from precise impressions, a recorded bite and a wax try-in, so we can correct small details before the final denture is made and handed to you.
Is a Denture the Right Fit for You
A denture is a removable replacement for several lost teeth or an entire arch, and it is easy to clean and look after. It is a good option when many teeth are missing or failing, when an implant for each tooth is not realistic, or when you want a dependable, affordable way to eat and smile with ease.
Whether a denture stays secure for years depends on a few small things: how its edges seal along the gums, how the upper and lower teeth meet, and how evenly chewing force spreads over the ridge. We slow down on those steps, because a denture that fits well from the start is much easier to live with.
For extra hold, we can discuss implant-supported dentures that attach to a few dental implants. We will walk you through the pros and cons plainly so the choice matches your mouth and your budget.
Denture Options and Care We Provide
- 01
Full dentures
For an arch with no remaining teeth, we make a complete upper or lower denture. We contour the base to your gum ridge and palate so a good seal holds it, with less need for adhesive.
- 02
Partial dentures
When some healthy teeth remain, a partial fills the gaps around them. Clasps and framework are designed to grip securely without overloading the teeth they rest on.
- 03
Implant-supported dentures
This denture clips onto dental implants set in the jaw. It stays steady while you chew and speak, and it helps slow the bone shrinkage that makes regular dentures loosen.
- 04
A wax preview
Before the final set is processed, you try your new teeth in wax. We review color, shape, lip support and bite together, and change what you want changed.
- 05
Relines and fit adjustments
Gums keep reshaping, most of all in the months after teeth are removed. We polish away sore spots and reline the base when needed to keep it snug.
Questions about Dentures?
Call(972) 573-9487Signs Dentures May Help You
Several missing teeth
Gaps make chewing harder and let nearby teeth drift. A partial or full denture restores the spaces and supports your bite.
Teeth that cannot be saved
When decay or gum disease has left many teeth loose or broken, removing them and moving to a denture can end the cycle of repeat repairs. Our Extractions page explains that part of the process.
An old denture that slips
If your current set clicks, rocks or needs more adhesive every year, your gums have likely changed. A reline or a new denture can bring back a secure fit.
Sore spots or trouble eating
Rubbing, ulcers or avoiding foods you love usually point to pressure in the wrong places. That is a fit problem, and fit problems can be fixed.
Our Steps to a Well-Fitting Denture
- 1
Exam and treatment plan
We check your gums, any remaining teeth and the jawbone, take X-rays and hear what you want from your new smile. You go out with a written plan and an estimate broken down by step.
- 2
Impressions and jaw relationship
Precise impressions capture your mouth, and a bite record shows how your jaws come together. Setting the right height at this stage supports your face and keeps your jaw from working too hard.
- 3
Trying the teeth in wax
We set your teeth in wax so you can look at them, talk with them and bite down. Adjustments are easy now, so tell us anything that bothers you.
- 4
Seating the finished denture
Once the final set is ready, we place it, look for pressure spots and refine the bite. Then we walk you through inserting, removing and cleaning it each day.
- 5
Early check-ins
Short visits during the first few weeks let us relieve any tender areas while your mouth adapts. Those small early tweaks go a long way toward lasting comfort.
What Shapes the Price of Your Dentures
Denture pricing comes down mostly to which kind of denture you choose and what your mouth needs before it can be made. After your exam, we lay out every step in a written estimate, so each cost is clear before any work starts. We are in-network with 15+ major PPO dental insurance plans, and patients without insurance can ask about our In-house Membership Plan.
- Type of denture
- A partial is built on a custom framework, while an implant-supported denture also includes the dental implants that hold it. Each option carries its own price and its own level of stability.
- Removing teeth first
- If failing teeth need to come out, those visits are part of the plan. Many patients wear an immediate denture while they heal, then have it relined or replaced after the gums settle.
- Base and tooth materials
- The acrylic chosen for the base and the quality of the denture teeth affect how natural the set looks and how well it resists wear and staining over the years.
- Paying for it
- PPO benefits often help with part of denture treatment. You can also spread the cost out with 0% interest financing for up to 24 months, and seeing if you preapprove has no credit score impact.
Answers About Dentures
How many visits do new dentures take?
Plan on several appointments spread over a few weeks. We take impressions, record your bite, hold a try-in and then deliver the finished set. Healing time is added if any teeth come out first, and your treatment plan shows the full timeline.
Will people be able to tell I wear dentures?
Our goal is that they cannot. You help pick the shade, size and shape of the teeth, and at the wax try-in we check how they support your lips and cheeks. Nothing is finished until you like what you see.
Will I have to use adhesive?
An upper denture that fits well usually holds by suction and needs little adhesive, if any. The lower is trickier because the tongue moves it around. That is why many patients look at implant support for the lower arch.
How soon will they feel normal?
Most people need a few weeks to settle into talking and chewing. Soft foods cut into small pieces help, and reading out loud speeds up speech practice. Early sore spots are common, and we ease them at your follow-up visits.
Is it possible to repair my current denture?
In many cases it is. A reline can tighten a loose fit, and a cracked base or chipped tooth can usually be fixed. If the teeth are worn flat or your bite has changed, we will give you a straight answer on whether a new set is the better choice.
