Custom Dentures
At Cashion Dental, we provide custom dentures that allow you to eat, drink, smile, and laugh with confidence.
What are Custom Dentures?
Custom dentures perfectly fit your mouth and jawline, so they feel as comfortable as if they were your natural set. Dentures are removable and are available as either complete or partial, depending on how many teeth you're missing.
What's the Process of Getting Custom Dentures?
The first step will be extracting any teeth that need removal. After the extraction of problematic teeth is complete, we'll scan your mouth. Our office uses CEREC® scanners, providing us with a detailed map of constructing your new pearly whites. Once they're ready, we'll place them, giving you instructions on taking care of them as well.
Some initial discomfort is normal while adjusting to wearing your new or first set. However, if it continues, please let us know, and we'll make the necessary adjustments.
What are the Benefits of Custom Dentures?
Custom dentures have many benefits beyond providing you with a full set of functional teeth. Here are some amazing advantages that you can look forward to with your new and improved smile.
- You can chew better and eat the foods you like
- Speaking will be much easier
- They will boost your self-confidence with a full, bright smile
- Improves your facial structure
- They look like your natural teeth
- Provides an option for those who can’t receive dental implants
Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Dentures in College Station
What is the difference between conventional and immediate dentures?
Conventional dentures are made and placed after your gums have fully healed from extractions, which can take several weeks. Immediate dentures are prepared in advance and placed the same day your teeth are extracted, ensuring you never have to leave our College Station office without a smile while your jaw heals.
How long does it take to get used to wearing new custom dentures?
It typically takes about 4 to 8 weeks to feel fully accustomed to your new custom dentures. During the first few weeks, your speech and chewing may feel different as your cheek muscles and tongue adapt. If you experience minor sore spots during this adjustment period, simply call our office for a quick, precise fit modification.
How often should my custom dentures be replaced or relined?
Over time, the natural shape of your jawbone and gums shifts. To maintain a secure, comfortable fit, custom dentures generally need to be professionally relined every 1 to 2 years and fully replaced every 5 to 7 years. Regular checkups at Cashion Dental allow us to evaluate the integrity of your dentures and ensure your oral tissues remain completely healthy.
Does dental insurance cover the cost of custom dentures?
Yes, most major commercial insurance plans classify dentures as a major restorative treatment and cover a significant portion of the total cost (often up to 50%). As a courtesy, our team will verify your specific benefits, compile all required documentation and digital scans, and file the claims for you, minimizing your upfront out-of-pocket expenses.
What are my payment options if I am paying privately without insurance?
If you are uninsured or facing a gap in insurance coverage, we accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards. Private-pay patients can also save immediately by enrolling in our In-House Membership Program, which provides a 20% discount on all restorative procedures, including custom partial and full dentures.
Can I finance my dentures in smaller monthly payments?
Yes. To ensure cost is not a barrier to restoring your smile, we offer flexible third-party financing through Cherry Payment Plans and CareCredit. Cherry offers a fast application that won't affect your credit score, featuring zero-interest plans or extended monthly options for up to 60 months. CareCredit offers specialized health credit options with no-interest promotional periods.
