Dentures
What Sets Our Dentures Apart?
A Precise Fit and Natural Appearance
Most patients contact us when they have grown frustrated with missing teeth and think they are ready for traditional or dental implant-supported dentures. Others have had dentures in the past and wish to upgrade to a higher quality prosthesis. Here are the steps we take at our Brazoria practice to make sure you get dentures that offer a more precise fit and natural appearance.
The Cost of Dentures
The cost typically runs from $2,000 to $3,200. Additional procedures, such as tooth extraction or the placement of dental implants can increase these costs. We are happy to accept financing so individuals can pay for their prothesis over the course of several monthly payments.

Dental Care Tailored to the Patient Committed to Custom Treatment

I’m a new patient as my previous primary is no longer practicing. The whole new patient document process is very easy and if you need assistance filling out forms, the office staff will assist you. I broke a tooth and also needed cleaning. They had an opening within the week and I was shocked at how soon they could see me. Aubrey was my hygienist and was extremely easy to work with. She took a little time to let me tell her about my dental history and quickly assessed the challenge ahead. Aubrey is gentile, informative, courteous, and kind. I really liked her a lot. After cleaning, Dr. Osga came in for assessment and to talk about strategy to address my broken tooth. The office staff presented me with a very detailed estimate of future work to address broken tooth. The whole office is pleasant first and very professional and knowledgeable regarding appointments, payments, estimates, and patient needs. Dr. Osga and his staff are first class!

We shopped around for a good dentist in our area. Unsatisfied with the options, I looked online and saw the awesome reviews Osga Dental had. A little farther than what I wanted to travel, but then said "Let’s give it a shot." After our first visit we were sold on their awesome customer service and dental knowledge. From the minute you walk in, sweet receptionist, wonderful dental hygienist, and best of all... compassionate dentist. I can say that we found our dental family, which is something that we have been looking for awhile. Well worth the 15 to 20 minute drive ❤️
View On GoogleReasons to Get Dentures The Problems Caused by Missing Teeth
If you are missing most or all of your teeth, there are many reasons to get these custom restorations.
Problems Eating
and Speaking
Missing teeth make it difficult to eat some foods, limiting your diet to soft foods and liquids and stopping you from eating the foods you love. Speaking can also be difficult; forming certain words is challenging when teeth are missing.
Bone Loss and
Gum Recession
Missing teeth can affect surrounding structures. A person will lose jawbone density along the dental arch and have gum recession. This is due to the loss of root structure, which adversely affects the health and position of remaining teeth.
Changes in Facial Appearance
Tooth loss doesn't just impact the health and appearance of your smile. If you're missing many teeth, it can cause your lips to droop and your cheeks to appear hollow. This can cause you to appear much older than you actually are.
Good Candidates Treating Tooth Loss
If you are missing most or all of your teeth, there are many significant reasons to consider full or partial dentures at our Brazoria practice.
You Are Missing Many or All of Your Teeth
If you have lost all of your natural teeth or have just a few teeth left, dentures are an excellent option for restoring your ability to bite, chew, and smile.You Have Good Jawbone and Gum Structure
Dentures remain in place with the aid of suction along the dental arch or dental implants. Ideal candidates have sufficient bone density and gum tissue in place for support.You Are Self-Conscious about Your Smile
If you are missing most of your teeth, it can make you ashamed to laugh, speak, and smile around others. A dentist can help with these problems.You Know the Risks, Benefits, and Process
People interested in full or partial dentures should be aware of the risks and benefits, as well as the basics of the treatment process.Types of Dentures Full, Partial, and Implant-Supported
Different types of dental appliances are available at our Brazoria practice based on a patient's needs. The extent of your tooth loss will determine the most effective dental care approach.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are ideal for people who are missing several teeth. The appliance uses brackets or hooks on the patient's remaining natural teeth to hold the prothesis in place. Taking impressions and using advanced custom fabrication techniques prevents the partial denture from slipping or falling out of the mouth while you bite, chew, and speak.
Full Dentures
This option is an excellent choice for people missing all of their teeth. If there are any remaining teeth, our dentist may recommend extraction so a full denture can fit along the dental arch. We use digital x-rays and accurate impressions to create the most precise fit possible so the prosthesis can secure to the jawbone and gum tissue with suction. Denture adhesives and creams can be used to add stability to the appliance. For people missing all of their teeth, a set of upper and lower protheses can be made.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Thanks to advances in dental care, a full or partial denture can be anchored in place with dental implants. These artificial tooth roots are surgically embedded into the bone and gums of the dental arch. After healing from oral surgery, the dental implants function just like natural tooth roots. The appliance is secured to the implants via abutments and will not budge when eating and speaking. The result is a mouth that's been fully restored and rehabilitated.
Making Your Restoration Last Tips for Patient Aftercare
Dentures are made from durable materials, though they are subject to natural wear and tear. Here's some practical advice to make your restoration last as long as possible.
Whenever you remove or handle your dentures, hold them with both hands to prevent accidental slips. To avoid damage from drops, make sure you're standing over a sink full of water or a folded towel.
Remove plaque and food particles from your restoration by using a soft-bristled toothbrush. There's no need to use toothpaste. Approved denture cleaners can also be used to ensure you have fresh breath.
At night before bed, remove your dentures and soak them in a glass of water. This prevents warping when outside of your mouth and ensures the denture fits properly when you put it back in for the day.
When your dentures are out, be sure to clean your gums and mouth. Brush your remaining natural teeth, and use a clean cloth to wipe away any dental adhesive residue inside your cheeks or on your gums.
Visit your dentist for regular checkups. While checking the condition of your mouth, the Osga Dental team can also monitor the condition of your prothesis. We'll recommend adjustment or replacement when needed.
