Types of Dentures

We offer several different denture types, helping us ensure we can match you with a quality restorative dentistry solution that will make you smile. 

Full Dentures (“Plates”)

Traditional dentures are removable appliances that replace your entire upper or lower set of teeth with a single prosthesis. The denture rests directly against your gum tissue, creating a seal to help secure it in place. If you have any remaining teeth, we can extract them before the complete denture is delivered.

Partial Dentures (Partials)

Partials replace several teeth at a time without the need to remove any of the healthy teeth you still have. They simply clasp around your teeth and fill in the spaces requiring attention. The adjacent teeth provide the reinforcement necessary to keep your partial in place, so there’s no need for a “plate” to span across the roof of your mouth.

Snap-In Dentures

Also called “overdentures” or “implant stabilized dentures,” snap-on dentures attach to 2-4 implants for added stability throughout the day. The implants offer a secure foundation for the denture to clip onto, preventing your prosthesis from rubbing, slipping, or coming out of place whenever you eat or talk. This strong attachment eliminates the need to use messy adhesives or pastes.

Caring For Your New Dentures

Like other restorations, dentures require regular upkeep and good home care. Remember to brush your dentures daily, soak them in a cleanser overnight, keep your gum tissues clean, and schedule regular checkups with Dr. Hernández every six months. Occasionally, dentures may need to be adjusted or relined as your smile changes over time.

How Much Do Custom Dentures Cost?

People often wonder how much it will cost them when it comes to getting dentures. While the cost can vary depending on the type of dentures and the dentist you go to, we offer affordable options. During your consultation, we can provide cost estimates for your treatment. 

We strive to provide high-quality services at reasonable prices. We work with many insurance companies and offer financing options for those needing more payment flexibility. You can trust us to deliver dentures that suit your needs and budget.

Are Dentures Right For Me?

Dentures are one of the most tried-and-true solutions for our patients with missing teeth. Because of their affordability, dentures are typically one of the first choices if you need to restore multiple or all teeth with one treatment. 

However, Dr. Hernández will be sure to present all viable options to you during your evaluation to ensure you understand the advantages of each treatment choice (including dental implants.) If you decide to get dentures, we will create a customized care plan explaining the steps and fees involved.

Dr. Hernández recommends preserving as many healthy teeth as possible. If you’re considering extracting teeth to get dentures, we will talk you through the pros and cons of the process so that you can plan accordingly.
