Custom Dentures in Shawnee, KS
Dentures are custom prosthetic teeth secured to a gum-colored base. They are designed to replace missing teeth and restore functionality. Depending on your needs, dentures can be supported by your gums or attached to dental implants for added stability.
We recommend dentures for patients who have lost most or all of their natural teeth due to injury, decay, or other oral health challenges. With dentures, you can smile, chew, and speak with ease. The process typically involves four appointments:
- 1st appointment: Scans, impressions, and photos to begin designing your custom dentures.
- 2nd appointment: Final impressions and bite alignment.
- 3rd appointment: Wax teeth try-in for final approval.
- 4th appointment: Delivery of your dentures and any necessary adjustments.
Schedule a consultation to explore partial or full denture options and determine the best solution for your smile.

Can you get an infection from dentures?
Yes, improper care of dentures can lead to infections, such as gum inflammation or oral thrush. Regular cleaning and ensuring your dentures fit properly are essential to maintaining good oral health.

What is the best way to clean false teeth?
Clean your dentures daily by rinsing them under running water and using a soft-bristled brush with a non-abrasive denture cleaner. Always soak them overnight in a denture solution to keep them moist and free of bacteria.
