Advancements in dental technology have transformed the perception and performance of dentures, dispelling concerns about discomfort and conspicuousness.

At Murphy Family Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry, we determine the most optimal type of denture based on your missing teeth, preference, and budget.

We offer highly competitive prices and third-party financing to make getting top-quality dentures in Murphy, TX, an attainable dream.
If you've lost many or most of your teeth, complete dentures in Murphy, TX, are an excellent option for enhancing the beauty of your smile and restoring oral function and confidence. Complete or full dentures consist of color-matched prosthetic teeth placed into a gum-colored acrylic base. We typically wait eight to 12 weeks after your teeth have been extracted to take impressions and create this type of denture.
If you qualify for immediate dentures, you can receive them right after the remaining teeth have been extracted. We take measurements and create models of your upper and lower arches during a preliminary visit to make this possible.
An immediate denture typically doesn't fit as precisely as a conventional denture because it takes 6-8 weeks to heal following extraction. After the shrinkage of the underlying bone has occurred (about six months following extractions), an immediate denture must be relined or replaced with a new denture.
If you're only missing a handful of teeth, a partial denture in Murphy, TX, may be the perfect solution to fill these gaps. This type of denture features the same kind of false teeth as a complete denture, but the prosthetic attaches to natural teeth with discreet metal or acrylic clasps. If you're looking for an affordable denture near you, a partial denture in combination with dental crowns can provide more seamless aesthetics.
Implant-supported dentures are held in place by dental implants, so they eliminate slippage and stress on your gums, don't require adhesive to stay in place, and enable eating all the foods you love.
Most importantly, because the implants replace your missing natural tooth roots, the underlying bone is stimulated when you chew, so it stays healthy. This also helps prevent undesirable facial changes that sometimes can occur with traditional dentures. We will help you decide if removable or fixed implant-supported dentures better suit your oral health needs and lifestyle.
At Murphy Family Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry, we offer same-day full and partial dentures created in our state-of-the-art in-house dental lab. Our goal is to provide you with affordable, high-quality, and durable dentures that exceed your expectations. The process begins with digital impressions of your jaw ridge and oral tissues, which are swiftly sent to our specialized dental lab. Our skilled technicians meticulously handcraft your new dentures, ensuring they resemble natural teeth and gums in appearance and feel.
Throughout this highly customized process, we may schedule a short appointment for a wax try-in to ensure the perfect fit. Once the dentures are ready, you can return for a final fitting, allowing you to walk out of our practice with a renewed and stunning new smile on the same day. While it may take a short adjustment period to get used to wearing your new dentures, you’ll soon experience the numerous benefits they provide.
You may be a candidate for “partials” or partial dentures. This option consists of multiple prosthetic teeth. They are affixed to a base designed to look like natural gum tissue. Typically, these teeth are spread across the base of the tooth.
So, they fit in with your natural teeth—like how jigsaw pieces come together in a puzzle. Most of the time, partials are stabilized in the mouth with strategically positioned brackets or clasps on your existing teeth. They’re also fully removable. Partials are designed to be removed from the mouth when sleeping and during tooth cleaning.
There are many potential ways to transform your smile. “Conventional” complete dentures replace your teeth on both the top and bottom arches. They are suitable for individuals who either have no teeth left or have many failing teeth that will likely need to be extracted or removed. The prosthetic teeth are mounted onto a very lifelike-looking, gum-colored base.
This feature is similar to the design of a partial; instead of being attached to the remaining teeth, they are held in place by their natural bone support. So, we need to ensure and sustain an optimal fit. That way, the dentures conform well and are stabilized in the mouth, with no loose dentures that rub up against the inside of the mouth and slip around. For more stability, we can discuss implant-supported dentures (All-on-X Denture).
Individuals concerned about the fit of their dentures and who may be ready for a change should explore implants. Our dentists possess the expertise and tools to place implants with precision, utilizing X-Nav digital guides and CT X-rays. These artificial tooth roots are made from materials designed to join the surrounding bone naturally.
Once this integration process is complete, the implants stabilize the denture that is later attached to them. With the advanced techniques and materials, the denture teeth and base look indistinguishable from natural and healthy teeth and gum tissue. Therefore, it creates a carefree look and feel, reminiscent of a beautiful, natural-looking smile.
There are many options for you at Murphy Family Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry! These range from adjustments to the existing denture to potentially replacing it with a new one that fits better, or with an implant-retained denture.
We are happy to evaluate the condition of your denture and mouth, and work with you to determine the best next steps for your specific situation. The denture should fit your mouth, of course, but it should also fit your budget, personal preferences, lifestyle, and other factors beyond your needs. We can also explore payment options, such as flexible financing, to help overcome financial barriers to getting the dentures you want and need.
