Dentures
Full and partial dentures that restore your smile, confidence, and function
If you’re missing several or all of your teeth, dentures can restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Today’s dentures are more comfortable, natural-looking, and functional than ever before—nothing like the “false teeth” of decades past.
At Parker Dental Studio, we offer both full dentures (for patients missing all teeth in an arch) and partial dentures (for patients with some remaining natural teeth). Each denture is custom-crafted to fit your mouth precisely and designed to look like natural teeth. We take the time to get the fit right because a well-fitting denture makes all the difference in comfort and function.
How It Works
Consultation
We evaluate your oral health, discuss your options (full, partial, implant-supported), and take initial impressions.
Custom Impressions
Detailed impressions and bite measurements are taken to create a denture that fits your mouth precisely.
Try-In
A wax try-in lets you preview the tooth arrangement, color, and shape before the final denture is made. Adjustments are easy at this stage.
Delivery & Adjustment
Your finished denture is placed, the fit is fine-tuned, and we schedule follow-ups to ensure comfort as you adjust.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between full and partial dentures?
Full dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower arch and rest on the gums and underlying bone. Partial dentures replace some missing teeth and clip onto your remaining natural teeth for support. The type you need depends on how many teeth are missing and the health of your remaining teeth.
How long does it take to get dentures?
The entire process typically takes 4 to 8 weeks and requires 4 to 6 appointments. This includes impressions, bite measurements, wax try-in, and final delivery. If extractions are needed first, temporary (immediate) dentures can be placed the same day so you’re never without teeth.
Will dentures feel natural?
There is an adjustment period—typically 2 to 4 weeks—during which your mouth adapts to the new denture. Speaking and eating may feel different at first, but most patients adjust well with practice. A well-fitting denture should feel secure and comfortable. If it doesn’t, adjustments can be made to improve the fit.
Can I eat normally with dentures?
Yes, though it takes practice. Start with soft foods cut into small pieces and chew on both sides to keep the denture stable. Over time, you’ll be able to eat most foods comfortably. Very hard or sticky foods may always require some caution. Implant-supported dentures provide significantly more chewing power and stability.
What are implant-supported dentures?
Implant-supported (or implant-retained) dentures snap onto dental implants placed in the jawbone, providing far greater stability and chewing strength than traditional dentures. They don’t slip or require adhesive, and they help prevent the jawbone loss that occurs with conventional dentures. This is an excellent option for patients who want the security of a fixed restoration.
How do I care for my dentures?
Remove and rinse dentures after eating. Brush them daily with a soft denture brush and non-abrasive cleanser (not regular toothpaste). Soak them overnight in water or denture solution to keep them moist and maintain their shape. Also brush your gums, tongue, and palate before reinserting. Handle them carefully—dentures can break if dropped.
How much do dentures cost?
Traditional dentures typically range from $1,000 to $3,000 per arch, depending on the type and materials. Implant-supported dentures cost more due to the surgical component but offer superior comfort and longevity. Most dental insurance plans provide coverage for dentures. Our team will help you understand your options and costs upfront.
