Dentures in Highland Village
We make complete and partial dentures that are shaped to your mouth, matched to your face and adjusted until they feel comfortable. Before treatment starts, we check your PPO benefits with you, so you know what your plan covers and what it leaves to you.
When dentures are the right choice
Dentures replace several missing teeth, or a full arch, with a removable appliance. They suit patients who have lost many teeth to decay, gum disease or injury, and patients whose remaining teeth can no longer be saved. A well-made denture restores chewing, supports the lips and cheeks, and gives you a natural smile again.
We also talk about the alternatives honestly. If a few dental implants would hold a denture firmly in place, or if fixed dental implants would serve you better over time, we explain the trade-offs in plain terms. Some patients choose a traditional denture now and add implants later. That is a reasonable plan, and we can build the denture with that step in mind.
Patients come to us from across Highland Village and nearby towns such as Lewisville, Flower Mound and Lantana, often after years of putting off a decision because the costs felt unclear. Our first job is to make them clear.
Denture options we provide
- 01
Complete dentures
A full upper or lower set for patients with no remaining teeth in that arch. The base is pink acrylic shaded to look like natural gum tissue, and the teeth are chosen for size, shape and color to suit your face.
- 02
Partial dentures
When healthy teeth remain, a partial fills the gaps and clasps to those teeth. We offer partials with a cast metal framework for strength and thin profile, and flexible partials for patients who prefer no visible metal.
- 03
Immediate dentures
If teeth need to come out, we can prepare a denture ahead of time so you leave the extraction visit with teeth in place. Gums shrink as they heal, so an immediate denture usually needs a reline after a few months.
- 04
Implant-retained dentures
Two or more dental implants placed in the jaw let a denture snap onto attachments. This greatly reduces slipping, especially on the lower arch, and can make adhesive unnecessary.
- 05
Relines and adjustments
Jawbone changes over time, and a denture that once fit well can loosen. We reshape the fitting surface and adjust sore spots so your denture stays comfortable.

Several missing teeth
Gaps make chewing harder and let the remaining teeth drift. A partial denture restores function and holds the spacing.
Teeth that are loose or failing
Advanced gum disease or widespread decay can leave teeth that cannot be saved. We will tell you plainly which teeth have a future and which do not.
An old denture that slips or rubs
Clicking, sore spots and constant adhesive use usually mean the fit has changed. A reline or a new denture can fix that.
Avoiding foods you enjoy
If you cut everything small or skip raw vegetables and meat, your bite is limiting your diet. That is worth addressing.
A sunken look around the mouth
Missing teeth let the lips and cheeks fall inward. Properly built dentures restore that support.
How a denture is made with us
- 1
Evaluation and benefits check
We examine your mouth, take digital X-rays and discuss your goals. If you have a PPO plan, we verify your denture benefits and can ask the plan for a pre-treatment estimate, so you see coverage in writing before you commit.
- 2
Impressions and bite records
We take detailed impressions and record how your jaws meet. Together we choose tooth shade and shape.
- 3
Wax try-in
You see and test a wax version of your denture before it is finished. This is the moment to change tooth position, length or color.
- 4
Delivery and follow-up
We seat the finished denture, check your bite and show you how to clean and wear it. Short follow-up visits smooth out any pressure points as your mouth adjusts.
What affects the cost of dentures
Denture fees depend on the type of appliance, the materials and the work needed beforehand. We give you a written treatment plan that lists each step, and we explain how your benefits are expected to apply without guessing on the plan's behalf. Final coverage is always the plan's decision, which is why we prefer to get a pre-treatment estimate first.
- Type of denture
- A single partial, a full arch and an implant-retained denture involve very different amounts of lab work and chair time.
- Extractions and healing
- If teeth must be removed first, those visits and an immediate denture add to the plan, along with a later reline.
- Materials
- Cast metal frameworks, flexible bases and higher-grade denture teeth each carry different lab costs.
- Your PPO plan
- Many PPO plans treat dentures as a major service with their own coverage percentage, waiting periods or replacement limits. We are in-network with 15+ major PPO dental insurance plans and check your specific benefits.
- Payment options
- We offer 0% interest financing for up to 24 months, no credit score impact to check for preapproval, and an In-house Membership Plan for uninsured patients.
Questions about dentures
Will my dental insurance pay for dentures?
Many PPO plans cover part of the cost, but the share varies widely. Some plans have waiting periods, annual maximums or a rule limiting how often a denture can be replaced. We verify your benefits and can ask your plan for a pre-treatment estimate so you see its answer before treatment begins.
I don't have insurance. What are my options?
Our In-house Membership Plan is designed for uninsured patients, and 0% interest financing for up to 24 months is available. Checking for preapproval has no credit score impact. We will walk through both during your visit.
How long does it take to get used to a new denture?
Most patients need a few weeks to speak and chew naturally. Start with soft foods cut small, and read aloud to help your tongue adjust. We schedule follow-up visits to ease any sore spots along the way.
Can I get teeth removed and dentures on the same day?
Yes, with an immediate denture made before your extraction appointment. You leave with teeth, and we reline the denture once your gums have healed and settled.
Should I consider implants instead?
It depends on your bone, your health and your budget. Implants can anchor a denture so it stops slipping, or support fixed teeth. We explain both paths during an evaluation, and our dental implants page covers the details.
