Dentures in Oklahoma City, OK
Dentures are custom-made prosthetic teeth attached to a gum-colored base, designed to fit comfortably in your mouth with or without dental implants. They’re an effective option for those who have lost multiple teeth due to injury, age, or declining oral health. With dentures, you can restore your ability to smile, eat, and speak confidently.
Typically, the process involves four appointments:
- 1st Appointment: We gather records, including scans, impressions, and photos, to begin fabricating your custom dentures.
- 2nd Appointment: We take final impressions and align your bite for an optimal fit.
- 3rd Appointment: A try-in with wax teeth for your approval.
- 4th Appointment: Final delivery and adjustment of your dentures.

What is the difference between full and partial dentures?
We offer various types of dentures to suit your lifestyle, budget, and dental needs:
- Traditional dentures: Removable dentures that rely on suction to stay in place and are easy to clean daily.
- Partial dentures: Fill in for several missing teeth and can be removed for cleaning and sleeping.
- Implant-supported dentures: Snap onto dental implants for a more secure fit and help prevent bone loss.
- Fixed dentures: Permanently attached to implants; they feel like natural teeth and last a lifetime with care.

How should I care for my dentures?
Just like natural teeth, dentures require regular care to stay in top condition. We recommend annual relines and checkups to assess the fit and wear of your dentures. At each visit, we also perform oral cancer screenings to ensure your ongoing oral health.

Can I eat normally with dentures?
Yes, you can eat with dentures, but it may take some time to adjust. Initially, start with soft foods and cut items into smaller pieces to make chewing easier. Over time, you’ll likely adapt to eating a wider variety of foods. Avoid overly sticky or hard foods that could damage your dentures. If you experience discomfort or have trouble chewing, consult your dentist to ensure your dentures fit properly.
