Full and partial dentures in Corpus Christi
Dentures are removable replacement teeth, custom-made to fit your mouth. Which type is right depends on how many natural teeth you have left.
Full dentures
Replace all of the teeth in your upper jaw, lower jaw, or both. They rest on your gums and are shaped to match your smile.
Partial dentures
Fill the gaps when you still have some natural teeth. A partial is held in place by clasps or attachments to your remaining teeth.
Are dentures right for you?
Every mouth is different. Dr. Ahmad will examine you and give you an honest recommendation.
Dentures may help if you
- Have lost several or all of your teeth
- Have teeth that cannot be saved because of decay or gum disease
- Want to chew and speak more comfortably
- Prefer a non-surgical option, often at a lower upfront cost than implants
Good to know
- Eating and speaking take a little practice at first
- Your gums and jaw change over time, so the fit may need adjusting
- Dentures need daily cleaning and regular checkups
How getting dentures works

We check how your dentures feel and make adjustments as you get used to them.
The number of visits varies, and we will give you a timeline at your consultation.
Caring for your dentures
Clean them daily
Brush with a soft brush and a non-abrasive cleaner, and rinse after meals.
Give your gums a rest
Ask us whether to take your dentures out overnight, and how to store them.
Handle with care
Hold them over a towel or a sink of water, since they can break if dropped.
Keep up your checkups
Regular visits help us catch fit problems and keep your mouth healthy.

Denture costs and payment options in Corpus Christi

Denture questions, answered
How long do dentures last?
With good care, dentures often last several years, but they may need relining, adjusting, or replacing as your mouth changes.
Will dentures look natural?
Dentures are made to match the shape and shade of natural teeth, and we talk through the look with you before they are finished.
Can I eat normally with dentures?
Most people need some time to adjust. Starting with soft foods cut into small pieces can help, and we will give you tips at your fitting.
What is the difference between dentures and implants?
Dentures are removable and rest on your gums. Implants are anchored in the jawbone and replace the tooth root. Implants often cost more upfront, and we can talk you through both.
Does insurance cover dentures?
Some plans cover part of the cost, and coverage varies. Call (361) 878-5628 and we will help you check your benefits.
