Testimonials

OUR CROWING ACHEIVEMENTS
100+ reviews
"I am purchasing a second set of dentures here. The prices are much better than I've found elsewhere and the quality of the dentures is excellent. It does take a while, a few weeks, to be seen due to the clinic's popularity. But the result is quality dentures that don't break the bank. Also, they honor their warranties."
B.C.
"Pleasant folks doing great work. Trinity is adorable, but this soft realign (reline?) left a sharp edge along the lower tray that irritated (scraped) my tongue. The following morning I was able to be seen without an appointment after a 45 min wait for another nice technician to quickly grind down the offending edge to correct the problem."

How much do dentures cost?

The cost of dentures varies significantly based on several factors, including quality, materials used, and location, but typically ranges from $600 to $8,000 per arch (upper or lower). Basic, removable full dentures generally cost between $600-$1,500 per arch, while mid-range dentures might cost $1,500-$3,000 per arch. Premium or immediate dentures can cost $4,000-$8,000 or more per arch. Partial dentures are usually less expensive, ranging from $700-$2,500 per arch. Insurance may cover 15% to 50% of the total cost, depending on your plan and coverage. The price typically includes initial consultations, fittings, adjustments, and follow-up appointments. Additional costs may include extractions, alveoloplasty (bone smoothing), or other preparatory procedures. Implant-supported dentures are the most expensive option, potentially costing $20,000-$50,000 for a full set.

Are people are awake or asleep for dentures installation?

People are typically awake during denture installation/fitting. This is a non-surgical procedure that doesn't require anesthesia. Being awake is actually beneficial because:

1) The dentist can check your bite alignment
2) You can provide feedback about comfort and fit
3) The dentist can make immediate adjustments if needed
4) You can learn how to insert and remove the dentures properly

However, if you're getting immediate dentures following tooth extractions, you would be under local anesthesia for the extractions, but still conscious. If you're anxious about the procedure, some dentists may offer mild sedation options, but this isn't typically necessary for routine denture fittings.

How long does the implant process take from start to finish?

The complete process typically takes 3-6 months, including healing time, but can vary based on individual cases and whether bone grafting is needed.

How long do dentures and implants last?

Dentures typically last 5-7 years with proper care, while implants can last a lifetime with good maintenance.

Will dentures affect my speech or eating abilities?

There may be an initial adjustment period, but most patients adapt quickly and regain normal function.

Am I a good candidate for dental implants?

Candidacy depends on factors like bone density, overall oral health, and medical history. A consultation is needed for evaluation.
