Traditional Dentures

Worn by tens of millions of Americans, removable traditional dentures are a reliable and economical option for restoring your smile.

Implant Retained Dentures

They’re like traditional dentures, but offer more stability since they’re secured by 2+ dental implants. They snap on and off for easy daily cleaning.

Implant Bar Supported Dentures

Bar supported dentures add an extra layer of stability, typically using 4+ implants and extra reinforcement. They’re still removable for easy cleaning.

Fixed Crown & Bridges

This option looks and feels the most like natural teeth. Instead of having a denture lining, it uses 6+ dental implants to permanently secure a set of dental crowns.

Choose implant-supported dentures for maximum stability

When you choose fixed dentures, you get durable, long-lasting dentures that feel practically indistinguishable to a natural smile — no chafing or slipping.

As one of Des Moines’ leading implant dentists, and a fellow with the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, you can count on Dr. Lawson to deliver outstanding results.

We typically take 4-6 weeks to prepare traditional custom-made dentures. That’s a little bit longer than some places, but the added time means you’re able to try on your dentures and request adjustments for better speech, function, and esthetics before you receive the final set.

For implant-supported dentures, you can expect a 6-12 month timeline if you’re receiving dental implants for the first time. If you already have the necessary implants to support your dentures, then the process is much shorter, taking around 8 weeks.

You will! As part of our fitting process, we’ll provide you with a wearable preview that will give you a sense of how your new smile will look and feel. It’s also a great chance to point out any final adjustments that you’d like us to make before we create your dentures.

It really depends on the type of dentures you’re looking for and your current overall oral health. If you have insurance or benefits, that can also affect your total out-of-pocket cost as well, so the best way to understand how much you’ll need to pay for dentures is to speak with an oral health professional like Dr. Lawson and receive a detailed estimate.

Yes, if you have an older pair of dentures that has a worn out lining or just doesn’t fit snugly anymore, we can work with you to find a solution that works for both your budget and long-term comfort.
