We believe everyone deserves to eat, smile, and laugh without worrying about their teeth.
Full Dentures
Full dentures — also called complete dentures — replace an entire arch of teeth (upper, lower, or both). They rest on the gum tissue and are held in place by suction and the natural contours of your mouth. Modern full dentures are far more comfortable and natural-looking than they were even a decade ago, thanks to advanced materials and precise fabrication techniques.
Full dentures are ideal for patients who have lost all or most of their natural teeth in one or both arches. If you still have some remaining teeth that are beyond saving, we can create immediate dentures that are placed the same day extractions are performed — so you never have to go without teeth.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are designed for patients who still have several healthy natural teeth remaining. They fill in the gaps left by missing teeth and are secured to your existing teeth with clasps, precision attachments, or flexible connectors. Partials restore your ability to chew properly, prevent your remaining teeth from shifting out of position, and give you a complete, natural-looking smile.
We offer several types of partial dentures including cast metal partials (the most durable and long-lasting), flexible partials (lightweight and nearly invisible), and acrylic partials (a more affordable option). Dr. Ali will recommend the best type based on the location of your missing teeth, the health of your remaining teeth, and your budget.
Implant-Supported Dentures
For patients who want maximum stability and the most natural chewing experience, we offer implant-supported dentures. Small dental implants are placed in the jawbone and serve as anchors for your denture, completely eliminating the slipping, clicking, and discomfort that can occur with traditional removable dentures.
Implant-supported dentures are especially popular for the lower jaw, where traditional dentures tend to be least stable. Options include snap-on overdentures (removable for cleaning but locked securely in place during wear) and fixed implant bridges (permanently attached and function just like natural teeth). During your consultation, Dr. Ali will evaluate your jawbone health and discuss which implant option is best for your situation.
The Denture Process — What to Expect
Creating your custom dentures is a collaborative process that typically involves 4–5 appointments over several weeks:
- Consultation & exam — We evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and take preliminary impressions
- Precise impressions — Detailed molds of your mouth ensure an accurate, comfortable fit
- Bite registration — We record how your jaws align to ensure proper function
- Try-in appointment — You preview your dentures in wax form and we make adjustments to the fit, shape, and color before final fabrication
- Final placement — Your completed dentures are delivered, fitted, and adjusted for optimal comfort
We never rush the process. Taking the time to get each step right is what ensures your dentures look natural, fit comfortably, and function well for years to come.
Adjusting to New Dentures
It is completely normal to need an adjustment period when you first receive dentures. Most patients adapt within a few weeks. During this time, you may experience minor soreness or difficulty speaking certain words. We schedule follow-up appointments to make adjustments and ensure everything is fitting properly. Our team is always available to answer questions and address any concerns during your transition.
Caring for Your Dentures
Proper care extends the life of your dentures and keeps your mouth healthy. We recommend removing and rinsing your dentures after every meal, brushing them daily with a soft brush and non-abrasive denture cleaner (never regular toothpaste), soaking them overnight in a denture solution to maintain their shape, handling them carefully over a folded towel or basin of water, and continuing to visit us regularly for oral exams and denture checks.
Even with full dentures, regular dental visits remain important. We check the fit of your dentures, examine your gums and oral tissues for any changes, and perform oral cancer screenings at every visit.
Denture Cost & Payment Options
Denture costs in Arizona vary depending on the type (full vs. partial), the materials used, and whether implants are involved. Most dental insurance plans cover a significant portion of denture costs. At Dentists 'R Us, we accept most major insurance plans and offer flexible payment plans and financing options to make tooth replacement accessible regardless of budget. We provide a detailed cost estimate before beginning any treatment so there are no surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dentures
How much do dentures cost in Arizona?
Basic full dentures in Arizona typically start around $1,000–$1,500 per arch. Premium dentures with more natural-looking materials range from $2,000–$4,000 per arch. Implant-supported dentures are a larger investment, typically $3,500–$8,000 depending on the number of implants needed. We provide detailed estimates during your consultation and offer payment plans to fit your budget.
How long do dentures last?
With proper care, a well-made set of dentures typically lasts 5–10 years before needing replacement. However, your mouth changes over time as bone and gum tissue naturally remodel, so periodic relines (adjustments to the fit) are recommended every 1–2 years to maintain comfort and function.
Can I eat normally with dentures?
Yes, though there is a learning curve. Start with soft foods cut into small pieces, chew on both sides simultaneously, and gradually introduce more challenging foods as you adjust. Most patients with well-fitting dentures can eat a wide variety of foods comfortably. Implant-supported dentures offer the closest experience to natural teeth and allow you to eat virtually anything.
What is the difference between full and partial dentures?
Full dentures replace all teeth in an arch and rest on the gums. Partial dentures replace some missing teeth and attach to your remaining natural teeth for support. The right choice depends on how many teeth you are missing and the health of your remaining teeth.
Are implant-supported dentures worth it?
For many patients, absolutely. Implant-supported dentures eliminate slipping, improve chewing ability by up to 90% compared to conventional dentures, help preserve jawbone, and feel much more like natural teeth. They are a larger upfront investment but offer significantly better quality of life and longer-term value.
How do I know if I need dentures?
You may be a candidate for dentures if you are missing multiple teeth, have teeth that are severely decayed or damaged beyond repair, have advanced gum disease causing tooth loosening, or are experiencing difficulty chewing or speaking due to missing teeth. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Ali to discuss your options — there is no obligation, just honest guidance about what will work best for your situation.
