Frequently asked questions
How much do dentures and partial dentures cost?
Cost depends on whether you need a full or partial denture, the materials we select for a natural look, and whether you choose an implant-secured option for extra stability. During your consultation we walk you through your exact options and give you a clear, personalized estimate before anything begins, so there are no surprises. Our goal is a solution that fits both your smile and your budget.
What is the process for getting dentures, and how long does it take?
We start with a gentle exam and impressions, then design your denture around your unique bite, gum shape, and facial features. Over a short series of fittings we refine the fit and appearance until everything feels comfortable and looks natural. Most patients complete the process in a few weeks, and we keep you comfortable and informed at every visit.
Will my dentures hurt or feel uncomfortable?
It is normal to need a short adjustment period as your mouth gets used to a new appliance, and a little soreness early on usually settles quickly. Because we custom fit every denture to your mouth, our patients are often surprised by how secure and natural theirs feel. If anything rubs or shifts, we are always here to fine tune the fit so you stay comfortable.
How long do dentures and partial dentures last?
With good daily care and regular checkups, quality dentures typically last many years before they need to be relined or replaced. Your mouth naturally changes shape over time, so periodic adjustments help keep the fit snug and comfortable. We will monitor your dentures at your visits and let you know when it is time for a refresh.
Am I a good candidate for implant-secured dentures?
If you are tired of dentures that slip or click, implant-secured overdentures may be a great fit, giving you a stable, confident bite for eating and speaking. Most patients with reasonably healthy gums and bone are candidates, and Dr. Pedersen can evaluate your options in a single consultation. If you need a little groundwork first, we can plan that comprehensive care right here in our office.
Does insurance cover dentures, and do you offer financing?
Many dental plans help cover a portion of dentures and partials, and our team is happy to review your benefits and maximize what applies to your care. For any remaining balance, we offer financing options that spread the cost into comfortable monthly payments. Just ask us at your visit and we will help you find a plan that works for you.
