Dentures
About Our Dentures
Start with a no-obligation appointment at Professional Denture Clinic. We will review every available option with you and help you choose the treatment that best fits your needs and budget.
Fees vary broadly based on the complexity of your treatment. We will explain every option, walk you through pricing, and present a customized plan. Financial options are available to fit different budgets.
We offer complete dentures (which replace all of your teeth), partial dentures (which replace some of your teeth), and implant-supported options. Dentures that replace all the teeth are known as complete dentures.
Yes, but continuous nighttime wear can lead to denture stomatitis. Our team will recommend the optimal approach for your situation.
After a short initial adjustment period, most people are able to eat normally. Cutter Bar Dentures and SurFit (DenSureFit) implant dentures provide additional stability for comfortable chewing.
Yes, that is what immediate dentures are designed for. Talk with our associates to see whether immediate dentures are right for you.
Dental Implants
About Dental Implants
Our dental implant procedures are virtually painless. With local anesthesia and IV sedation available through our partnership with Texas Sedation Dental, you will be fully relaxed with little to no memory of the procedure. Start dreaming of your new smile while you are getting it.
Yes. Dental implants are safe for most patients. Like any surgery, there are possible risks, but complications are rare and typically minor. Our providers thoroughly review your medical history and imaging before recommending treatment.
It depends on your goals. Traditional dentures are the most cost-effective option and remain a great choice for many patients. Dental implants offer a permanent, long-term solution with the look, feel, and function of natural teeth. We will walk you through both options so you can decide what fits your life and budget.
Coverage varies widely by plan. When you come in for your complimentary consultation, our insurance coordinator will verify your benefits and explain exactly what your plan covers for dental implant treatment.
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. Daily brushing, flossing, and regular checkups at Professional Denture Clinic help ensure your implants stay healthy for the long haul.
Often, yes. Techniques like the All-on-4 approach are designed to work with existing bone by tilting the posterior implants, which can eliminate the need for bone grafting in many cases. We will evaluate your bone density with a 3D scan and let you know your options.
The Ultimate Smile in 24 Hours
About The Ultimate Smile
The Ultimate Smile in 24 Hours is a permanent, full-arch tooth replacement that anchors a fixed set of natural-looking teeth to as few as four strategically placed implants. Most patients receive their new smile in a single appointment, no dentures to remove, no adhesives, no slipping.
Traditional dentures rest on your gums and can shift, slip, or cause sore spots. The Ultimate Smile is anchored directly to your jawbone through titanium implants, giving you a stable, permanent smile that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth.
Your complimentary Ultimate Smile Assessment includes a detailed 3D X-ray, a one-on-one review of your goals, and a full walkthrough of every treatment option available to you, including financing. You will leave knowing exactly what your smile can look like and exactly how to get there.
No. The procedure is performed under IV sedation, so you are completely relaxed and comfortable throughout. Most patients have little to no memory of the treatment itself. Post-operative discomfort is typically manageable with prescribed medication and subsides within a few days.
In most cases, yes. The Ultimate Smile approach uses tilted implants to maximize your existing bone, which often removes the need for bone grafting. We will confirm your candidacy at your Ultimate Smile Assessment with a full 3D scan of your jaw.
You care for your Ultimate Smile much like you would natural teeth: daily brushing, flossing with implant-specific tools, and regular checkups at Professional Denture Clinic. Our team will walk you through everything at your follow-up appointment.
Every case is unique, and pricing depends on your specific needs. We do not quote prices over the phone because a real number requires a real look at your case. Your complimentary Ultimate Smile Assessment produces a written, itemized treatment plan with financing options, so you leave knowing exactly what your investment will be.
