What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable prosthetic appliances designed to replace missing teeth and the surrounding tissues. They also restore the natural shape of your face by supporting the lips and cheeks—often lost when multiple teeth are missing.

Most dentures are crafted from durable acrylic resin, a lightweight and biocompatible material that closely mimics the appearance of natural gums. For the teeth, acrylic can be combined with porcelain or high-quality composite materials to enhance durability and provide a more lifelike look and feel. These materials are carefully selected based on your needs, helping to ensure that your dentures not only restore function but also blend naturally with your smile.

Your Smile is in Good Hands

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Ali was amazing!!!

I had been needing a canine exposure for a couple of months now, and my orthodontist had repeatedly stated that the success rate of pulling down one of my canines was 20%. When I met Dr. Ali, he was concerned, but determined. The surgery was difficult and lengthy, but he managed to do it! He was very considerate of how I was feeling before, during, and after the procedure. In addition, he also stayed in touch with me afterwards, just in case issue arose at home, and encouraged me to call him whenever needed. When I returned to my orthodontist two weeks after the surgery, she remarked that my wounds looked as if they had been healing for months! That truly showed me how exceptional Dr. Ali’s work was. I feel incredibly honored and blessed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In this fast-paced world where everyone is moving at rocket speed, it's hard to find service providers who make you feel like you're their only customer. Such has been my experience with Elite Dental Specialists. The customer service at Elite Dental was so personalized that I often felt like, "I must be their only patient."

From the moment I walked through the door for my first appointment until now, Elite Dental—from Dr. Obeidi to every member of his team—has been deeply attentive to my needs, concerns, and questions. The team has always returned my calls, responded to my text message questions, and kept me fully informed on all matters relevant to my situation.

Best wishes to Elite Dental Specialists!

Types of Dentures We Offer

Conventional Full Dentures

Created after all natural teeth are removed
Placed once gums have fully healed (typically several weeks to months)
Custom-fit to your healed gums for the most stable fit

Immediate Dentures

Inserted immediately after tooth extraction
Allow you to leave the office with teeth the same day
May require adjustments or relines after healing

Partial Dentures

Ideal for patients missing some, but not all, teeth
Fit securely around remaining natural teeth
Help prevent shifting and over-eruption of adjacent teeth

Implant-Supported Dentures

Snap onto dental implants for superior stability and function
Prevent slipping or clicking while speaking or eating

Preserve jawbone and improve long-term comfort

How Dentures Work

Upper Denture: Covers the roof of the mouth (palate) and is typically held in place by suction.
Lower Denture: Shaped like a horseshoe to leave space for the tongue, and rests on the lower gum ridge.

Implant Denture Option: This advanced solution uses 2 to 6 dental implants strategically placed in the jawbone to securely lock the denture into place. Unlike traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures offer superior stability, preventing slipping and shifting while eating or speaking. This added support significantly improves chewing strength, enhances comfort, and boosts overall confidence—giving you a smile that feels and functions more like natural teeth.

Denture Maintenance & Replacement

Even the best dentures need ongoing care:

Dentures wear down over time and typically last 5–10 years
Your jawbone and gum tissue change over time, which may affect fit
Relines or adjustments may be needed to maintain comfort and function
Regular exams are still important to screen for gum disease, oral cancer, and bone loss

At Elite Dental Specialists, we offer denture relines, repairs, and replacement services to keep your appliance fitting and functioning its best. Learn more about: Denture Exams & Denture Maintenance.

Affordable alternative to full dental implants
Option to upgrade later to implant-supported dentures

Our team will walk you through every step of the process, from choosing the best solution for your unique needs to helping you navigate your insurance and financing options.

FAQ

1. How much do dentures cost in Houston, TX?

Denture costs vary depending on the type (full, partial, immediate, or implant-supported), materials used, and whether extractions or preparatory procedures are needed. Most patients can expect $1,200–$4,000 per arch for traditional dentures, with implant-retained options costing more. We accept all major PPO plans and offer flexible financing to help you choose a solution that fits your budget.

2. How long do dentures last?

With proper care, most dentures last 5–10 years. Over time, natural changes in your jawbone and gums can affect fit, so periodic relines, repairs, and adjustments are recommended. Regular exams allow Dr. Obeidi to monitor wear, ensure proper fit, and evaluate whether you should transition to a new denture.

3. Will my dentures look natural?

Yes! Modern dentures are designed with advanced materials, realistic tooth anatomy, and customized shading to mimic your natural gums and teeth. As a prosthodontist, Dr. Obeidi uses digital design and precision techniques to craft dentures that complement your facial structure, smile line, and speech for the most natural look possible.

4. How long does it take to get dentures?

The timeline depends on the type of denture you choose:

Immediate dentures: Same day as your extractions
Conventional dentures: A few weeks after your gums heal
Implant-supported dentures: 3–6 months (healing + final prosthesis)

At your consultation, we’ll review your timeline and help you choose the option that fits your goals.

5. What are the most comfortable dentures?

Comfort depends on your anatomy and the stability you prefer:

Traditional full/partial dentures: Affordable and effective
Soft-liner dentures: More cushioned for sensitive gums
Implant-supported dentures (snap-on): Most secure, stable, and comfortable

If you struggle with sore spots, slipping, or loose dentures, implant-supported options often provide the highest comfort and chewing ability.

6. Can I eat normally with dentures?

Yes—with an adjustment period. You can expect to:

Start with soft foods
Progress to a more diverse diet over a few weeks
Enjoy confident chewing with properly fitted dentures

Patients with implant-supported dentures experience the strongest bite force and can eat more naturally, including firmer foods like meats, vegetables, and bread.

7. Do dentures hurt or feel uncomfortable?

New dentures may feel unusual at first, but they should not be painful. Minor soreness is normal during the adjustment phase and usually resolves within a few days. If you experience:

Persistent irritation
Pressure spots
Slipping or rubbing

Dr. Obeidi can perform adjustments, relines, or evaluate whether implant-retained dentures may offer better long-term comfort.
