Full & Partial Dentures in Houston, TX

At Empire Dental, we provide multiple types of dentures to meet your specific condition and preferences:

• Full Dentures: Replace all upper, lower, or both arches of missing teeth.
  
  
• Partial Dentures: Ideal for patients missing several teeth but not all — attaches to existing teeth or implants.
  
  
• Implant-Supported Dentures: Offers increased stability and comfort by anchoring to dental implants.
  
  
• Immediate Dentures: Placed immediately after tooth extractions so you’re never without teeth during healing.

We’ll guide you in choosing the right type based on your oral health, bone structure, and aesthetic goals.

1. Comprehensive Exam: We start with a thorough evaluation of your oral health, bone support, and gum condition. If needed, we may recommend tooth extractions or bone grafting before proceeding.
   
   
2. Impressions and Fitting: Accurate impressions and bite registration ensure a snug, functional fit. Our team works with precision labs to create lifelike, durable prosthetics.
   
   
3. Try-In and Adjustments: A wax trial denture is tested for comfort and appearance before final fabrication. We make adjustments as needed to ensure satisfaction.
   
   
4. Final Delivery: Once complete, your final dentures are placed, and we provide care instructions and schedule follow-ups.
   
   
5. Ongoing Maintenance: We recommend regular dental cleanings and periodic relines or adjustments to keep your dentures fitting well.
