Dentures and partials are custom-made replacements for missing teeth, fitted in-house at Valley View Dental, so you can eat, speak and smile again, with an honest estimate before anything starts. If you have been searching for a dentist for dentures who will not over-sell you or send you elsewhere, start here.
Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth. Some people call them false teeth. Both rest against your gum and are shaped to fit your mouth. At Valley View Dental, dentures sit next to crowns, bridges and implants, so your options are handled in one place.
Your denture options differ by how many teeth are missing and how the denture is held in place. The table below lays out the common removable types so you can find yourself in it. Your denture is planned by Dr. Tarik Patel, our in-house prosthodontist, so the type matches your case, not a template.
| Type | What it is | Best for | Removable or fixed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full denture | Replaces a whole arch, upper or lower | A jaw where all teeth are lost or failing | Removable |
| Partial denture | Fills gaps, clasping onto the teeth you still have | Some healthy natural teeth remain | Removable |
| Flexible partial | A partial with a flexible, gum-colored base | A lighter feel for filling gaps | Removable |
You may be a candidate for dentures if you have several missing or failing teeth, and a consult confirms the right path, even for complex cases. As a dentist for dentures, we check your gum health first, because a denture only fits well on a healthy foundation.

Getting dentures at Valley View Dental is a planned sequence of visits. It starts with a consult and ends with a fitted denture you can wear, and you always know the next step.
We talk through your options and give you a written estimate before any work begins.
We record the shape of your mouth so the denture is made for you.
We place the denture and adjust it so it sits right.
Over time your gums change shape, and a reline refits the base so it stays comfortable.
Denture prices depend on the type, the materials, and the work your mouth needs, so you get a written estimate at your consult, before anything begins. What changes the price is the type of denture, the materials, and any added work such as extractions or X-rays.

Dentures stay in place through a close fit against your gum, and a denture adhesive can add extra hold. A well-fitted denture leans on adhesive less.
Full dentures replace all the teeth in a jaw. Partial dentures fill in around the natural teeth you still have.
Denture cost depends on the type and materials, so there is no single price. Valley View Dental gives you a written estimate at your consult, and you can use most major PPO plans, Cherry, CareCredit, or in-house plans.
We are confirming which denture types we fit in-house. Ask about implant-supported and snap-on dentures at your consult.
A denture reline refits the base to your gums, and a repair fixes a cracked or chipped denture. Ask about turnaround at your consult.
