Get back to eating, speaking and smiling comfortably

Losing teeth can make everyday things like biting into an apple, laughing in photos or speaking clearly feel harder. Dentures replace missing teeth with custom prosthetic teeth set in a gum-colored base, designed around the shape of your face and mouth.

Today’s options go beyond the traditional plate. At Buffalo Creek Dental, Dr. Barnes offers traditional removable dentures, dentures that snap onto a few implants, and fixed arches that stay in full time. He’ll explain the trade-offs of each, including comfort, cost and care, so you can choose with confidence.

Dentures may be right for you if you:

  • Are missing all the teeth in your upper or lower jaw
  • Are missing several teeth and need a partial denture
  • Have teeth that can't be saved and need a plan for what comes next
  • Wear an old denture that's loose, cracked or uncomfortable
  • Want a lower denture that doesn't float or shift

Denture options at Buffalo Creek Dental

  • Traditional dentures. Removable and held by suction and fit. No surgery and no recovery period. Upper dentures usually hold well; lower dentures can move with the tongue and cheeks, which many people find frustrating.
  • Implant-stabilized (snap-on) dentures. Commonly two implants in the lower jaw (sometimes more, and often four in the upper) hold the denture with snaps. You still take it out to clean, but it stays in place while you eat and talk. Often more affordable than a fixed arch.
  • Fixed implant dentures. A full arch secured to implants that only your dentist removes. The implants act like natural tooth roots and help prevent the bone loss that follows tooth loss. See All-on-4 Dental Implants.
  • Partial dentures. Replace a few missing teeth and clip to your remaining teeth.

Traditional, snap-on or fixed: comparing denture options

  • Traditional denture: no surgery and no healing time from implants. Held by suction and fit. Upper dentures usually hold well; lower dentures can move.
  • Snap-on (implant-stabilized) denture: snaps onto implants, commonly two in the lower jaw, so it stays put while you eat and talk. You still take it out to clean. Often more affordable than a fixed arch. See dental implants.
  • Fixed implant denture: a full arch secured to implants that only your dentist removes. Helps prevent the bone loss that follows tooth loss. See fixed full-arch implants.
  • Partial denture: replaces a few missing teeth and clips to your remaining teeth. A bridge or implant may be another option for one or two teeth.

Cost depends on the type of denture, whether extractions are needed and whether implants are part of the plan. You’ll get a written estimate before treatment.

Clearer speech

once you adapt

Options for every budget,

from traditional to implant-retained

Dr. Barnes often recommends at least two implants under a lower denture because it removes much of the movement patients dislike, but the right choice depends on your health, bone and budget.

Living with new dentures: aftercare tips

  • Start with soft foods cut into small pieces, and chew on both sides at once. Add harder foods as you get used to them.
  • Practice speaking. Reading aloud helps your tongue and cheeks adjust faster.
  • Sore spots are common early on. Don’t try to adjust the denture yourself. Call us and we’ll smooth it.
  • Clean it every day with a denture brush and cleaner, and rinse after meals. Regular toothpaste can scratch the surface.
  • Take removable dentures out at night so your gums can rest, and keep them moist so they hold their shape.
  • Keep your checkups. Your gums and bone change over time, so dentures may need relining to keep fitting well.

Denture cost, insurance & financing

Cost depends on the type of denture, whether extractions are needed and whether implants are part of the plan. You’ll get a written estimate before treatment. Many PPO plans help pay for dentures, and we’ll file your claims. We accept cash, credit cards, CareCredit, Cherry payment plans and some in-house finance options. See Dental Insurance & Financing.

Denture FAQs

Most people need a few weeks to adjust to speaking and eating. Sore spots are common early on, and we’ll adjust the denture at follow-up visits.

A lower denture has less surface to grip and sits near the tongue. Two implants with snap attachments can greatly reduce movement for many patients.

We usually recommend taking removable dentures out at night so your gums can rest, and cleaning them daily.

Your mouth changes over time, so dentures may need relining or replacing after several years. Regular checkups help us keep them fitting well.

Sometimes. If your current denture fits well, implants can occasionally be added to it. Dr. Barnes will check whether that’s possible.

It depends on the type of denture, whether extractions are needed and whether implants are part of the plan. You’ll get a written estimate before treatment. Many PPO plans help pay for dentures, and we’ll file your claims. See Dental Insurance.

A full denture replaces all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw. A partial denture replaces a few missing teeth and clips to the teeth you still have. Dr. Barnes will check which teeth can be saved first.

Most people relearn chewing over the first few weeks. Start with soft foods and work up. Snap-on and fixed implant dentures usually make chewing easier because they don’t move as much.

Only teeth that can’t be saved. If some teeth are healthy, a partial denture may let you keep them. See tooth extractions.

Yes. Many of our denture patients come from Yukon, Tuttle and southwest Oklahoma City. Our office is at 201 S. Sara Rd., #140 in Mustang, next to the SSM Health complex.
