Dentures and Partial Dentures in Houston

Defining Dentures

What are denture implants, and what is the procedure for getting dentures? They are custom-made dental appliances featuring artificial teeth attached to a removable frame or a permanent implant. We create artificial teeth to match your natural teeth's coloring and translucency. So, whether you notice your teeth changing color or appearance or you're missing teeth, new dentures can help fix those issues. As a bonus, alongside improving your self-confidence, they can support your facial structure and restore function.

Popular Types of Affordable Quality Dentures

There are several affordable quality dentures available, and our staff at Made Ya Smile West Eight Crossing can help you figure out which one suits you best. Below, you'll find options our team specializes in, including:

Partial Denture

A partial denture set lets you keep your healthy adjacent teeth, and they work well to replace one or more missing teeth using a bridge-like setup. Unlike a traditional bridge that gets permanently attached, a partial denture comes with clasps you slip over your supporting teeth. You remove this each night to clean it, and a partial denture cost ranges from $900 to $1,200 on average.

Flexible Partial Denture

Unlike a traditional partial denture, this option has no rigid base or metal clasps. Instead, it features a flexible, lightweight material that contours to your mouth's shape. The clasps are gum colored too, and this makes them look more realistic. The average cost for a flexible partial denture is between $700 and $3,000.

Full or Complete Denture Set

Many people use full or complete dentures interchangeably. A full set works to replace all of your existing teeth in the upper or lower jaw. First, our staff will extract existing teeth and fit you with a temporary set. When your gums heal, we'll fit your new permanent set. You can choose from a fixed or removable set, where the fixed one gets anchored into your mouth using implants, and the removable set sits on your gums. Generally, a full set's cost ranges from $1,000 to $4,000 per arch, and removable sets are between $1,000 to $1,500.

Implant-supported Denture

With a traditional denture, it sits right on your gums. An implant-supported denture uses dental implants to secure it, and how many implants you need for support will vary. These dentures can be permanent or removable, and if you get bar-retained dentures, they can connect with up to five dental implants using clips and a thin metal bar. Ball-retained sets have ball-shaped metal attachments and sockets that connect to the implants. You'll remove both options at night to clean them. Finally, you can also get a permanent denture with implants. You may hear them called fixed or permanent dentures, and they are attached to two or more implants inserted into the jaw. They look natural, and you don't have to remove them to clean.

All-on-4® Dentures

This implant technique features Nobel Biocare dental implants. They attach using four implants, and two of them go in at an angle. We then attach the denture to your implants to give you a stable result that won't slide or slip.

The Process of Getting Dentures

There are several steps involved in getting dentures, and they'll vary depending on the type you choose and your teeth and gums' condition. Generally, our staff takes impressions of your teeth and records measurements to ensure each denture fits appropriately and replicates your bite. They'll extract any decayed or broken teeth and give you a temporary denture. If you want an implant-supported denture, we'll place the implants now. We'll have you come back for a second visit where we fit your partial or full denture, and we'll make adjustments to get a good fit.

How Much Dentures Cost on Average

The cost of making your set depends on how much prep work we need to do, the denture style you pick, and the material cost used to create the set. We can help you get affordable denture sets that meet your needs, and all you have to do is contact our office to schedule a consultation or get more information.

What is a Soft Denture Reline?

Instead of using the traditional hard acrylic lining material, we use a soft reline material that will stay flexible for up to two years. This option may give you freedom from sore spots and generalized denture discomfort.
