Why patients choose Dental Excellence for dentures

Vertical dimension respected

Many dentures are made too short, collapsing the face and contributing to TMJ pain. We use an oral-systemic perspective on vertical dimension and bite to design a denture that supports the face properly.

Digital workflow

Intraoral digital scanning replaces traditional impressions for most cases. Faster, more comfortable, and more accurate.

Premium materials when worth it

Standard acrylic teeth wear faster but cost less. Porcelain teeth last longer and look more natural. We discuss the trade-offs before deciding.

Implant-retained available

For patients tired of denture adhesive, implant-retained dentures eliminate the slipping and dramatically improve chewing function. We discuss as part of every denture consultation.

Three denture paths

The right path depends on your bone volume, your budget, and how committed you are to chewing fully again.

Conventional Full Denture

$1,500-$5,500 per arch. The standard denture, fits over the gums with adhesive. Best for patients with limited budget or limited bone for implants.

Partial Denture

$1,500-$3,000. For patients with some natural teeth remaining. Anchors to existing teeth via clasps or precision attachments. Less invasive than full extractions plus full denture.

Implant-Retained Denture

$6,000-$15,000 per arch. Anchors to 2-4 implants, no adhesive, far better chewing, preserves bone. The dramatic upgrade for denture patients tired of slippage.

Common denture questions

How much do dentures cost in Stephenville?
A standard full denture (upper or lower) typically runs $1,500-$3,500. Premium dentures with porcelain teeth $3,500-$5,500. Implant-retained dentures (anchored to 2-4 implants) $6,000-$15,000 per arch and chew dramatically better. Most insurance covers 50% of standard dentures up to your annual maximum.
How long do dentures last?
Standard dentures last 5-10 years before needing relines or replacement. The mouth shape changes as bone resorbs underneath, requiring adjustment. Implant-retained dentures last 15-25 years before the prosthesis itself needs replacement; the implants underneath last decades.
How long does it take to get dentures?
Conventional dentures: 4-6 weeks over 4-5 visits (impressions, bite registration, try-in, delivery, final adjustment). Immediate dentures (placed same-day after extractions) require relines after healing. Implant-retained dentures take 4-6 months because of implant healing.
Are dentures comfortable?
Modern, well-fitted dentures are far more comfortable than the relatives most people remember. The first 1-2 weeks involve adjustment, sore spots, learning to chew and speak, salivation. After that, most patients adapt fully. Implant-retained dentures eliminate the slipping and adhesive entirely.
Should I get dentures or implants?
Implants where bone allows. Dentures (or implant-retained dentures) when bone is severely depleted, when budget is constrained, or when full-arch implants aren't a fit. We discuss the trade-offs at the consultation, including the long-term cost difference (dentures need replacement, implants typically don't).
Will my insurance cover dentures?
Most PPO plans cover 50% of dentures up to your annual maximum (typically $1,500-$2,500). Implant-retained dentures often have partial coverage when documented as medically necessary. We verify benefits before treatment.

A focused exam tells us which denture option fits, including whether implant-retained is realistic for your case. We quote both standard and upgraded options.
