Denture Dentist in OKC
“Before seeing Dr. Rhodes at Advances in Dentistry I was unhappy and embarrassed to smile. I avoided foods that I love and I was in pain when eating hard foods. After my immediate dentures at Advances in Dentistry I said, I should have done this 10 years ago! Now I can eat whatever I want, and I’m not embarrassed to eat in public anymore. I love to smile now and I can bite down on pretty much any food. My friends tell me I look like a happier person!” – Jim C. OKC

Common Reasons Patients Need Dentures
Dentures may be recommended when missing or damaged teeth are affecting your comfort, appearance, or ability to chew. Patients often consider dentures because of:
- Multiple missing teeth
- Loose, painful, or worn-out existing dentures
- Teeth that cannot be predictably restored
- Difficulty eating certain foods
- Changes in facial support caused by tooth loss
- Embarrassment or lack of confidence when smiling
If you are unsure whether dentures, partial dentures, or implant-supported dentures are the right choice, our team can evaluate your mouth and explain your options clearly.

Immediate Dentures
Immediate dentures are made for patients who still have teeth but need those teeth extracted or removed. Before your extraction appointment, we take molds or impressions of your mouth and teeth so your new dentures can be made in advance.
At your next appointment, your teeth are removed and the immediate denture is placed in your mouth. This allows you to leave with teeth the same day your remaining teeth are removed.
We will also see you for follow-up visits at no charge to check your comfort and make any adjustments needed as your mouth heals.
Complete Dentures
Complete dentures are made to replace all teeth in the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both. They may also be used to replace old dentures that no longer fit well, look natural, or function comfortably.
During the process, we will ask what you do and do not like about your current dentures, then take impressions of your mouth. You will choose the tooth color, shape, and style you would like for your new smile.
We also include a denture “try-in” step before the final denture is completed. This allows you to place the denture in your mouth, evaluate the fit and bite, and see how your new smile looks. If changes are needed, they can be made before the denture is finished.
After you approve the denture, we provide follow-up appointments at no charge to make any needed adjustments.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures can be used when you are missing several teeth but still have healthy natural teeth remaining. A partial denture fills the gaps left by missing teeth and helps restore your ability to chew and smile with more confidence.
At Advances in Dentistry, we offer two types of partial dentures.
Flex Partial
A flex partial is a more modern and aesthetic type of partial denture. It is gum-colored, flexible, lightweight, and designed to blend into your mouth. Many patients choose a flex partial for the upper jaw when they want to avoid visible metal.
Cast Partial
A cast partial denture has a metal base with pink acrylic gum material and replacement teeth added on top. The metal base includes clasps that hold onto nearby natural teeth to help keep the partial in place.
This type of partial denture is strong and can often be adjusted. If you lose additional teeth in the future, teeth can typically be added to a cast partial.
Implant-Supported Dentures
If you are a candidate, our team may recommend anchoring your denture into place with dental implants. Implant-supported dentures can provide a more secure and reliable denture solution for patients who want added stability.
Dental implants may help reduce slipping, improve chewing confidence, and create a stronger foundation for your denture. During your consultation, we can discuss whether implant-supported dentures may be appropriate for your needs.
What to Expect When Getting Dentures
Your denture process begins with a consultation. Our team will evaluate your mouth, listen to your concerns, and talk with you about your goals. We may discuss your current teeth, existing dentures, bite, gum health, facial support, budget, and the type of denture that may work best for you.
From there, impressions or molds are taken so your denture can be custom-made. Depending on the type of denture, you may have try-in appointments, adjustments, and follow-up visits to help refine the fit and comfort.
Our goal is to help you receive dentures that feel comfortable, look natural, and help you smile with more confidence.
Benefits of Custom Dentures
Well-made dentures can provide several important benefits, including:
- Replacing missing teeth
- Improving your ability to chew
- Helping restore smile confidence
- Supporting the appearance of your face and lips
- Improving speech affected by missing teeth
- Replacing old, worn, or uncomfortable dentures
Every patient is different, which is why your denture should be designed for your mouth and your goals.

Dentures FAQ
What type of dentures do I need?
The right type of denture depends on how many teeth are missing, whether teeth need to be removed, your oral health, and your goals. Complete dentures, immediate dentures, partial dentures, and implant-supported dentures may all be considered during your consultation.
What are immediate dentures?
Immediate dentures are made before remaining teeth are removed. They are placed the same day the teeth are extracted, allowing you to leave with teeth in place while your mouth begins healing.
What is the difference between complete dentures and partial dentures?
Complete dentures replace all teeth in an upper or lower arch. Partial dentures replace several missing teeth while using your remaining natural teeth for support.
Will I be able to choose how my dentures look?
Yes. At Advances in Dentistry, you can help choose the color, shape, and style of the teeth for your new dentures. For complete dentures, you may also have a try-in appointment so you can approve the look before the dentures are finished.
Can dental implants make dentures more secure?
For qualifying patients, dental implants may be used to help anchor dentures and improve stability. Our team can evaluate your mouth and let you know whether implant-supported dentures may be an option.
Do dentures need adjustments?
Yes, dentures often need adjustments, especially as your mouth adapts or heals after extractions. Follow-up visits help improve comfort, fit, and function.
Can old dentures be replaced?
Yes. If your current dentures are loose, worn, uncomfortable, or no longer look the way you want, complete dentures can be made to replace them.
