Whether you are missing a few teeth or a full arch, custom dentures restore your smile, your bite and your confidence. Dr. Vishala Patel designs each denture to fit comfortably and look natural, and can anchor it to implants if you want a more secure hold.
Dentures are removable replacement teeth set in a natural-looking gum-colored base. A full denture replaces all of the teeth in your upper or lower jaw. A partial denture fills gaps where several teeth are missing and clips to your remaining natural teeth.
Today’s dentures are lighter, better fitting and more lifelike than ever. Replacing missing teeth also supports your lips and cheeks, so your face does not look sunken.
Dentures may be a good option if you:
Dr. Patel will help you choose the option that fits your mouth, your lifestyle and your budget.
A complete set of upper or lower teeth, custom shaped and shaded to look natural.
Replace several missing teeth and attach to your remaining natural teeth.
Snap your denture onto dental implants so it stays put while you eat and talk.
Implant-supported dentures ↗Adjustments, relines and repairs keep your denture comfortable as your mouth changes.

Moving to dentures is a big change, and it is normal to have questions. We explain every step, help you adjust to your new teeth and see you back for adjustments as needed.
If you need extractions or implants and feel anxious, ask about our comfort options, including sedation.
Most dentures last about 5 to 8 years. Your jaw slowly changes shape over time, so relines and eventually a new denture keep the fit comfortable.
Most people adjust within a few weeks. Speaking and eating may feel different at first, and follow-up adjustments help with any sore spots.
You can eat most foods once you adjust, starting with softer foods cut into small pieces. Implant-supported dentures make chewing much easier.
If you still have healthy teeth, a partial denture keeps them and fills the gaps. If most or all teeth are missing or failing, a full denture is usually best. Dr. Patel will recommend what fits your mouth.
Many PPO plans cover part of the cost of dentures. Our team will verify your benefits and show your out-of-pocket cost before treatment. Financing is available through CareCredit and Cherry.
