Missing teeth can affect how you eat, speak, and feel about your smile every day. At ATX Dental Studio, our dental home in Central Austin, we design custom dentures that restore comfort, function, and confidence, without judgment and without surprises. Whether you are exploring dentures for the first time or need a replacement that finally fits right, our team walks you through every option, every step, and every cost before you decide.
Which Type of Denture Is Right for You?
Not all dentures are the same. We offer several options so your treatment matches your mouth, your timeline, and your budget.
- Complete (Full) Dentures. Replace an entire upper or lower arch when all natural teeth are missing or need to be removed.
- Partial Dentures. Fill gaps left by several missing teeth while your remaining healthy teeth stay in place. A removable alternative to a bridge.
- Immediate Dentures. Placed the same day your teeth are removed, so you are never without a smile while you heal.
- Implant Supported Dentures. Anchored to dental implants for a denture that locks into place with far less slipping than traditional dentures. Ask us if you are a candidate.
Signs You May Need Dentures
- Several missing, loose, or badly decayed teeth
- Difficulty chewing, or a diet you have quietly limited because of tooth pain
- Noticeable changes in your speech
- Facial sagging around the mouth and cheeks caused by tooth loss
- You are not a candidate for implants alone due to bone loss or health history
Your Denture Journey at ATX Dental Studio
- Consultation and Exam. We examine your mouth, take images, and talk through every option, timeline, and cost involved. No surprises.
- Extractions, If Needed. If teeth need to come out first, we can often place an immediate denture the same day, so you leave with a smile.
- Custom Design. We select the shape, shade, and style that looks natural on you specifically.
- Fitting and Adjustments. Your dentures are fitted for bite, comfort, and function, with adjustments as needed.
- Ongoing Support. We check in as your mouth changes over time and adjust, reline, or replace your dentures to keep them fitting well for years.
Adjusting to Your New Dentures
New dentures take a little getting used to, and that is completely normal. Expect some soreness, extra saliva, and a short learning curve with speaking and chewing during the first couple of weeks. Start with soft foods, practice reading out loud, and give yourself grace. Most patients adjust within a few weeks, and we are here for adjustment visits whenever something feels off.
Caring for Your Dentures at Home
- Rinse after meals and brush daily with a soft bristled brush and non abrasive denture cleaner. Regular toothpaste is too harsh.
- Handle dentures over a folded towel or a sink of water in case you drop them.
- Soak dentures overnight in water or a denture solution so they do not dry out, warp, or crack.
- Keep your gums, tongue, and any remaining natural teeth clean every day.
- See us for a checkup at least once a year, even with a full denture.
Transparent Pricing, No Surprises
You deserve to know the full cost before treatment begins, not after. Our team walks you through pricing for each denture option upfront, checks your insurance benefits, and offers flexible financing, including Cherry Financing, so a healthy smile fits your budget. No upselling, no hidden fees, just honest guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will insurance cover my dentures?
Many dental plans offer partial coverage for dentures. Our team verifies your benefits before treatment and explains exactly what you can expect to pay.
How long does it take to get dentures?
Traditional dentures typically take several weeks from impressions to final fitting. Immediate dentures can be placed the same day your teeth are removed.
Can I eat normally with dentures?
Yes, though we recommend starting with soft foods and gradually reintroducing harder foods as you adjust over the first few weeks.
What is the difference between dentures and implant supported dentures?
Traditional dentures rest on your gums, while implant supported dentures anchor to dental implants for extra stability. We will help you decide which fits your health, timeline, and budget.
How long do dentures last?
With proper care and regular checkups, dentures typically last five to ten years. Your bite and jawbone can change over time, so periodic relines or adjustments help maintain a comfortable fit.
Do I need to remove my dentures at night?
Yes, we recommend removing them at night to rest your gums and prevent oral health issues, then soaking them so they stay in good shape.
