Restore Your Smile with Dentures in Garland, TX
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 20 percent of individuals over the age of 60 have lost all of their teeth. Lost teeth can be devastating for the appearance of your smile and as well as self confidence. Not to mention, it can make chewing and speaking a challenge. In addition, gaps and spaces left behind by missing teeth can lead to more complex oral health problems, such as mobility, shifting, and even further tooth loss. Fortunately, dentures at Perfect 32 Family Dentistry in Garland, TX, can address tooth loss, boost your confidence, and improve your overall quality of life, ensuring a complete smile with any necessary adjustments.
Transform Your Smile – Dentures
Benefits of Dentures
Dentures at our Garland, TX, practice offer a wide range of advantages. For example, these appliances can:
Restore dental function
When you are missing teeth, biting, chewing, and speaking can be challenging. Replacement teeth restore function so you can perform these routine tasks with ease. Dentures for the remaining natural teeth in the upper or lower jaw restore function so you can perform these routine tasks with ease.
Make you look younger
When tooth loss occurs, the facial features can droop and sag. Oftentimes, those missing teeth will have a sunken-in or gaunt appearance. Dentures fill out and support the facial features, effectively enhancing your appearance.
Free you from most dietary restrictions
It’s virtually impossible to eat certain foods when you’re missing teeth. Removable partial dentures dentures restore significant chewing function so that you can enjoy your favorite foods once again.
Improve your speech
The teeth are helpful when forming words, as the tongue pushes against the teeth to help create the correct sounds. This is why some individuals with tooth loss find it difficult to enunciate correctly. Customized dentures replace artificial teeth, effectively improving speech patterns.
Boost your confidence
Many patients are embarrassed about their tooth loss. To conceal their appearance, individuals may smile with their lips closed or cover their mouths when they talk or laugh. Dentures restore your smile’s original beauty so you can take on the world with confidence.
The Making of Dentures!
Types of Dentures
There are many different types of dentures available, depending on the specific needs of the patient. At our Garland, TX, practice, we offer the following:
Traditional full dentures
When you think of dentures, this is likely what you picture in your mind. Full dentures can be made from various materials and are designed to restore an entire arch of missing teeth. These appliances rest atop the gums and are supported by the underlying jawbone ridge. They are custom-made to fit your unique oral anatomy, but dental adhesives may be used to secure the dentures in place.
Traditional partial dentures
These prostheses are made to replace several teeth in one or both dental arches. Like full dentures, partial dentures rest on the gums. These appliances also have special clasps that hook onto adjacent teeth for added stability.
Implant-supported dentures
While traditional dentures rely on the gums and bone ridge for support, these prostheses are connected to dental implants – small threaded posts that are surgically embedded into the jawbone. Implant dentures in Garland, TX, are an excellent option for those desiring more stability. In fact, some patients opt to upgrade their old dentures with dental implants. Boppana works closely with a trusted oral surgeon when placing these appliances so patients can receive the highest level of care possible.
Am I a Candidate?
Dentures are generally recommended for individuals with significant tooth loss. This means they are missing most or all of their teeth in the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both. To qualify for dentures, patients must be free from tooth decay and gum disease. For this reason, any teeth that cannot be repaired with fillings, crowns, or other restorations may need to be extracted prior to denture placement.
Individuals considering implant dentures in Garland, TX should be in good oral and overall health. They should not have any health conditions that make oral surgery a risk. Furthermore, they must have a full understanding of the treatment process and have realistic expectations of the outcome.
During an initial consultation at our practice, Dr. Boppana can help determine the most effective treatment option for your needs, preferences, and budget.

About the Treatment Process
If you’re considering dentures in Garland, TX, you may wonder what’s involved in the treatment process. The length of the treatment timeline can vary significantly depending on whether or not you choose an implant-supported restoration. However, here are the general steps to the process:
Treatment planning
After gathering all the necessary information at your initial consultation, Dr. Boppana designs a comprehensive treatment plan to achieve your goals.
Preparatory procedures
If any preparatory procedures are required – such as extractions, bone grafts, periodontal therapy, or other treatments – they will be performed at this point.
Implant placement (optional)
Those who opt for an implant-supported denture must undergo an oral surgery procedure. After the implant placement, a few months of healing are required before the denture can be attached.
Impressions
Boppana takes impressions of your gums and any remaining teeth. These molds are then sent to our dental lab, where a trained technician will design your denture.
Denture fabrication
The creation of your new denture takes approximately two to four weeks. In the meantime, a temporary appliance can be worn.
Take Care Of Dentures – The How’s
Becoming Accustomed to Your Dentures
It’s normal for your new dentures to feel strange or awkward for a few weeks. During this time, your cheeks, tongue, and gums must adapt to the appliance. Some patients may experience mild irritation or discomfort. This is temporary and should diminish within a few weeks.
Maintaining Your Dentures
It’s important to clean your dentures to keep them free from bacteria. Our team can offer specific recommendations during your next visit. In addition, the supporting bone ridge changes over time. As a result, you may notice loose dentures occasionally. To address this, patients should have their dentures relined every two years. This helps ensure a proper fit.
Cost of Dentures
How much do dentures cost? The answer to this question depends on several factors, including:
- The number of teeth that need to be replaced
- The type of denture you choose
- Whether or not any preparatory procedures are necessary
- The materials used in your denture fabrication
To summarize, the cost of dentures can vary significantly. In fact, traditional dentures can range anywhere from $1500 to more than $2,000 per arch. Implant Dentures start at $13000, including the cost of Dental Implants. After your consultation at Perfect 32 Family Dentistry, our team can give you a cost estimate so you can make a well-informed decision about your treatment.
We accept most major dental insurance plans and are happy to file on your behalf. We are also proud to offer a wide range of financing options for our patient’s convenience, including CareCredit®.
