Dr. Cabral needs to read this page before it goes live. The patient education here is written conservatively and describes the treatment in general — it makes no claim about this practice's technique, materials, or protocol, because none has been supplied.

  • Confirm the step-by-step process matches how you actually work, and give the real number of appointments. The timings shown are the common range, not this office's schedule, and the page says so.
  • Confirm the lab turnaround, so "several weeks" can be replaced with a real figure.
  • Read the eight FAQ answers and the "what to expect, honestly" section for anything you would phrase differently.

Dentures

Complete and partial dentures made to fit you, with the price published up front. No insurance needed.

Your options

Complete Dentures

Starting at$700

Best forWhen all the teeth in an arch are gone or need to come out.

A full set for the upper or lower jaw, made to the shape of your mouth. The upper denture holds by suction against the roof of the mouth. Priced per arch, so an upper and a lower are two.

Partial Dentures

Starting at$425

Best forWhen you still have some healthy natural teeth.

Fills the gaps and clasps onto the teeth you still have, which also stops those teeth drifting into the space. Removable, and priced per arch.

Immediate Dentures

Starting at$850

Best forWhen you do not want to be without teeth while you heal.

Made in advance and placed the same day your teeth come out, so you never leave without teeth. Because the gums shrink as they heal, an immediate denture needs relining after a few months — budget for that from the start.

Lower Denture on Implants

Starting at$4,500

Best forWhen a lower denture will not stay put.

Four mini implants are placed in the lower jaw and the denture snaps onto them. This is the usual answer to the single most common complaint about lower dentures, which is that they lift when you eat and talk.

Why people choose dentures

  • Eat properly again

    Missing back teeth make chewing hard and quietly narrow what you eat. Dentures give you a full biting surface again.

  • Speak clearly

    Front teeth shape sound. Replacing them usually clears up the whistle or slur that missing teeth cause.

  • Support your face

    Teeth hold up the lips and cheeks. Without them the face gradually sinks around the mouth, which is what makes people look older than they are.

  • The most affordable full replacement

    Replacing a full arch with individual implants runs into many thousands of dollars. A complete denture is the option that puts a full set of teeth within reach.

What to expect, honestly

No one tells you this part in an advertisement, so we will. None of it is a reason not to go ahead — it is simply what to expect.

  • There is an adjustment period

    New dentures feel bulky and can rub sore spots for the first few weeks. This is normal and it is what the follow-up adjustment visits are for. Most people settle in within a month or two.

  • Lower dentures move more

    An upper denture seals against the palate. A lower one has no seal and sits on a narrow ridge with the tongue underneath it, so it is less stable. That is the honest reason the implant-retained option exists.

  • Your jaw keeps changing

    Bone slowly reshapes after teeth are removed, so a denture that fit perfectly will loosen over the years. A reline refits it to the new shape — expect one every few years rather than a new denture.

  • Some foods stay difficult

    Very hard, sticky, or chewy things are harder with any removable denture. Most people manage everything else. If that is the sticking point, implants are worth asking about.

How it works, step by step

Most of the worry comes from not knowing what actually happens. Here is the whole process.

  1. Exam and plan

    One visit

    We look at what is there, take X-rays, and talk through the options. You leave with a written plan and the full cost before anything is booked.

  2. Extractions, if you need them

    Healing takes weeks

    Teeth that cannot be kept come out first. Gums need time to heal before a conventional denture is fitted — unless you choose an immediate denture, which goes in the same day.

  3. Impressions

    One visit

    We take moulds of your gums and measure how your jaws meet. This is what the denture is built from, so it is worth the time it takes.

  4. Try-in

    One visit

    You see a wax version with the teeth set in place, and we check the bite, the fit, and how it looks. Say something here if the shape or shade is not right — this is the stage where it is easy to change.

  5. Fitting

    One visit

    The finished denture goes in. We check the bite again, and show you how to put it in, take it out, and clean it.

  6. Adjustments

    The following weeks

    Come back when something rubs. Sore spots are normal at the start and take minutes to fix. Do not wait it out and do not file it down yourself.

Timings are the usual range. We will give you the schedule for your own treatment at the first visit.

Common questions

Will they look natural?

That is the point of the try-in stage. You see the teeth set in wax before anything is finished, and the shape, size, and shade can all be changed then. Bring a photo of yourself from before you lost the teeth if you have one — it helps.

Does getting dentures hurt?

Taking impressions and fitting the denture do not hurt. If teeth need to come out first, that is done with anaesthetic and the soreness afterward is managed with ordinary pain relief. The rubbing in the first weeks is the part people notice, and adjustments fix it.

How long before I can eat normally?

Start with soft food cut small, and chew on both sides at once to keep the denture level. Most people are eating most things within a few weeks. Very hard and sticky foods stay awkward.

How long do dentures last?

The denture itself usually lasts several years. What changes sooner is your jaw, so the more common need is a reline to refit it rather than a replacement. We check the fit at your regular visits.

Do I have to take them out at night?

Yes, in almost every case. Your gums need the rest, and leaving a denture in overnight makes sore spots and infections more likely. Clean it and leave it in water.

Do you take my insurance?

We do not work with insurance at all. We are fee-for-service, which means no networks, no annual maximum, and no waiting for anyone to approve your treatment. The price you see is the price you pay, and financing is available.

Can I get dentures the same day my teeth come out?

Yes — that is what an immediate denture is for. It is made before the extractions from moulds taken in advance, and goes in straight away so you are never without teeth. It needs a reline once your gums have healed.

My lower denture will not stay in. What can I do?

This is the most common complaint with lower dentures and it is not something you are doing wrong — there is no suction on the lower jaw. A reline helps if the fit has loosened. If it has never been stable, four mini implants let the denture snap into place and stay there.

Ready when you are
