Dentures in Denver & Governor's Park: Custom & Implant Solutions

Restore Your Confidence with a 5-Star Smile in 80203

Living with significant tooth loss affects every part of your life, from the foods you can enjoy to the confidence you feel when you smile or speak. At Central Family Dentistry, we understand the frustration and embarrassment that can come with missing teeth. Our mission is to help you reclaim your quality of life with solutions that respect your health, your goals, and your budget.

Conveniently located at 507 N Lincoln St, directly serving the Speer, Governor's Park, and Capitol Hill communities, we offer a personalized alternative to the "big box" dental chains. Whether you need a simple repair, a flexible partial, or a complete smile makeover, our team combines the warmth of a family practice with the precision of modern prosthodontics.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are custom-crafted prosthetic teeth designed to replace missing teeth and restore your smile's function and appearance. While dentures have existed for centuries, modern technology has revolutionized them. Today's dentures are lighter, more durable, and designed to look hyper-realistic.

At Central Family Dentistry, we use high-grade acrylics and nylon materials that mimic the translucency of natural enamel and the texture of gum tissue, ensuring your new smile looks indistinguishable from the real thing.

The Modern Denture Solutions We Offer in Denver

We offer a full range of denture options tailored to your lifestyle and budget. During your consultation, we will help you navigate these choices to find your perfect fit.

1. Full Dentures (Complete Dentures)

Best For: Patients who have lost an entire row of teeth (upper, lower, or both). Full dentures rest comfortably on your gums and are held in place by natural suction or a light adhesive. They restore the facial volume that is often lost when teeth are missing, preventing the "sunken" look and taking years off your appearance.

2. Valplast® & Flexible Partial Dentures

Best For: Patients with some remaining natural teeth who want a seamless look. Unlike traditional partials that use visible metal clasps, flexible partial dentures (such as the Valplast® brand) use a specialized, gum-colored material that flexes with your mouth. They are lightweight, metal-free, and virtually invisible when you smile. We also offer traditional metal-framework partials for patients requiring maximum rigidity and support.

3. Implant-Supported & Snap-In Dentures

Best For: Patients seeking maximum stability and "chewing power." If you are tired of slipping dentures or messy adhesives, implant-supported dentures (often called "Snap-On" dentures) are the gold standard. We anchor the denture to dental implants surgically placed in your jawbone.

• Stability: Eat steak, apples, and corn on the cob again without fear.
• Bone Health: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that typically occurs with traditional dentures.
• Comfort: Eliminates the friction and sore spots common with floating dentures.

4. Same-Day Dentures (Immediate Dentures)

Best For: Patients who need extractions but never want to be seen without teeth. There is no need to go toothless while your gums heal. With Same-Day Dentures, we take impressions before your extraction appointment. Your dentures are inserted immediately after your teeth are removed, acting as a bandage to reduce bleeding and swelling while allowing you to leave our office with a complete smile on day one.

Emergency Denture Repair in Governor's Park

Accidents happen. If you drop your denture or bite down on something hard, a crack or break can be a dental emergency. Do not use super glue, as it contains toxins and can ruin the prosthetic.  

As your local dentist near Governor's Park and Alamo Placita, we offer swift Denture Repair services. In many cases, we can repair cracks, replace missing teeth, or perform a reline (resurfacing the denture for a better fit) to get you back to your life quickly.

How Are Custom Dentures Made?

Our process is designed to ensure a fit that is unique to your anatomy.

• Initial Consultation: We evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals (e.g., "I want a brighter smile" or "I want to close the gap"), and recommend the best type of denture for you.
• Impressions & Measurements: We take precise molds of your gums and any remaining teeth. This "blueprint" ensures your denture fits snugly and aligns with your natural bite.
• Wax Try-In: You’ll get to "test drive" a wax model of your denture. This allows us to check the fit and let you approve the shape and color of the teeth before they are permanent.
• Final Fabrication: Your final dentures are crafted from durable, natural-looking materials.
• Fitting & Adjustments: We place your new dentures and make micro-adjustments to ensure they sit comfortably without pinching.

The Cost of Dentures in Denver: Financing & Insurance

We believe quality dental care should be accessible. The cost of dentures varies depending on the type (e.g., traditional vs. implant-supported) and materials used.

• Insurance: We accept most major PPO insurance plans (such as Delta Dental), which often cover up to 50% of denture costs.
• Financing: We offer CareCredit and flexible financing options to help you break the cost into manageable monthly payments.
• Transparency: Unlike some corporate chains, we provide a clear, written estimate of all costs before treatment begins.

Are Dentures Right For You?

Dentures are an ideal solution for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth and want a non-invasive or cost-effective route to a restored smile. However, candidates for implant-supported dentures must have sufficient jawbone density. During your exam at our Lincoln St. office, we will assess your bone health and discuss all your options.

Living without teeth can be challenging. At Central Family Dental, you can find the solution you deserve so you can start smiling and living normally again. Get in touch with our team today and learn more about our restoration options!

How long do dentures last?

With proper care, traditional dentures typically last 5 to 10 years. However, your mouth shape changes naturally over time, so you may need a reline every 2-3 years to maintain a snug fit. Implant-supported dentures can last much longer, often decades, though the nylon clips may need periodic replacement.

What is the difference between "Snap-In" dentures and traditional dentures?

Traditional dentures sit on top of your gums and rely on suction or adhesive. Snap-In (Implant-Supported) dentures click securely onto dental implants placed in your jaw. This prevents them from slipping when you talk or eat and provides significantly more chewing force.

Can you repair my broken denture the same day?

Yes, in many cases! If you are in the Governor's Park or Capitol Hill area, call us immediately. Simple cracks or replaced teeth can often be handled quickly. However, severe breaks may require more time to ensure a lasting repair.

Are flexible partials (Valplast) better than metal ones?

It depends on your needs. Flexible partials (Valplast) are more aesthetic because they have no metal hooks, and many patients find them more comfortable. However, metal-framework partials are more rigid and may be better for patients with a heavy bite. We will help you decide which is best for you during your exam.

Will I be without teeth if I get extractions?

No! With Immediate Dentures (Same-Day Dentures), we fabricate your new teeth before your extraction appointment. You will walk in with your natural teeth and walk out with your new smile the very same day.
