What Are Full Dentures?
Full dentures — also called complete dentures — replace an entire arch of teeth, either upper, lower, or both. They rest on the gum tissue and are held in place by suction and, if needed, denture adhesive. Modern full dentures are custom-crafted to match your facial structure, skin tone, and preferred tooth shade for a completely natural appearance.
Full dentures are the right choice when all teeth in an arch are missing or must be extracted. They restore normal chewing function, clear speech, and a full, natural-looking smile.
Types of Full Dentures Available in Katy TX
Conventional Full Dentures
Made after all teeth are removed and gum tissue has fully healed (6–8 weeks). Conventional dentures fit precisely because they’re fabricated to your healed gum shape. This is the most common and most accurately fitting type of full denture.
Immediate Full Dentures
Fabricated before extraction and placed the same day teeth are removed — so you never go without teeth during healing. Because gums change shape during healing, immediate dentures typically need to be relined after 6–8 weeks. See our same-day dentures Katy TX page for details.
Implant-Supported Full Dentures
For maximum stability, dentures can be anchored to 2–4 dental implants for a snap-in fit that never slips. The most comfortable, natural-feeling solution. See our implant-supported dentures page.

Caring for Your Full Dentures
- Remove nightly and soak in water or denture solution
- Brush gently with a soft-bristled denture brush — never regular toothpaste (too abrasive)
- Handle over a soft towel or basin of water — drops cause cracks
- Rinse after eating
- Schedule regular checkups so we monitor fit and gum health
