Not all dentures are the same — and the right choice depends on how many teeth you're missing, your jawbone health, your budget, and how you want them to feel day to day. Here's an honest overview of what we offer.
Every option is designed using digital scanning for a precise, custom fit — a major improvement over the loose, uncomfortable dentures of decades past.
Three Paths to a Complete Smile
Each option fits a different situation. Here's what to expect from each — and who it works best for.
Traditional Dentures vs. Implant-Supported Dentures
If you want dentures that don't slip, don't require adhesives, and function more like natural teeth — implant-supported dentures are the next level.
Traditional Dentures
Removable · Adhesive-Based- Rest on the gum tissue using suction or adhesives
- Can slip or shift during eating and speaking
- Must be removed and cleaned daily
- Do not stimulate the jawbone — bone loss continues over time
- May need relining every few years as the jaw changes shape
- Lower upfront cost
Implant-Supported Dentures
Fixed or Snap-In · Implant-Anchored- Anchored by 2 to 4+ titanium implants in the jawbone
- Do not slip — no adhesives needed
- Fixed versions are brushed like natural teeth
- Implants stimulate the jawbone and prevent bone loss
- No palate coverage — better taste and comfort
- Higher upfront investment, greater long-term value
For patients who want the most stable, natural-feeling result, our All-on-4 implant system can provide a full arch of fixed teeth supported by just four strategically placed implants — often without the need for bone grafting.

Denture FAQs
The questions we hear most from patients exploring denture options in Keene and the surrounding area.
Can you have dentures made the same day?
Yes. Immediate dentures are prepared in advance and placed the same day as your extractions, so you never go without teeth. Keep in mind that immediate dentures are typically a temporary solution — as your gums heal and your mouth changes shape, they'll need to be relined or replaced with a permanent set within a few months.
How good are same-day dentures?
Same-day (immediate) dentures restore your appearance and basic function right away, which is a major benefit. However, because they're placed before your gums have fully healed, the fit will change over time. Most patients transition to a permanent set once healing is complete. Think of them as a bridge between extraction and your final denture.
What are the disadvantages of implant-supported dentures?
The primary downsides are the higher upfront cost and the requirement for oral surgery, which involves a healing period for the implants to integrate with the jawbone. Not all patients have sufficient bone density to support implants without additional procedures like bone grafting. That said, for patients who qualify, the long-term stability and comfort are significantly better than traditional dentures.
Does Medicare cover dentures in Texas?
Original Medicare (Parts A and B) generally does not cover routine dental care, including dentures, cleanings, or extractions. Some Medicare Advantage plans (Part C) offer supplemental dental coverage that may include dentures. We recommend checking your specific plan's benefits, and we're happy to help verify what's covered before treatment begins.
How long do you wait after extractions to get dentures?
It depends on the approach. Immediate dentures are placed the same day as extractions. Conventional dentures typically require a healing period of several weeks to months before the final fitting, allowing the gums and bone to stabilize. We'll recommend the right timeline based on your specific situation.
How do I afford dentures if I don't have insurance?
We offer flexible financing options that break the cost into manageable monthly payments. We also provide clear, upfront estimates so there are no surprises. Cost should never be the reason someone goes without teeth — come in for a consultation and we'll work through the numbers together.
Do implant-supported dentures cover the roof of your mouth?
Generally, no. Because the implants provide stability, the plastic palate that covers the roof of your mouth in a traditional upper denture can usually be removed. This makes eating more comfortable and significantly improves your ability to taste food — one of the biggest quality-of-life improvements patients report.
