What It Is
Replace missing teeth, restore your smile.
Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth and surrounding tissue. Full dentures replace all the teeth in an arch; partial dentures fill in spaces when some natural teeth remain. Implant-supported dentures snap onto dental implants for a far more stable fit.
Modern dentures look and feel substantially better than dentures from a generation ago. Materials are lighter, fits are more accurate (thanks to digital scanning), and tooth designs are more natural-looking.
Blaskovich Family Dental walks you through every step — from initial impression to a try-in stage where you can see and approve how the denture looks before it's finalized. If stability is a concern, we can discuss adding two to four implants beneath your denture for dramatically improved retention.
The Process
How denture treatment works.
- 01
Initial consultation
45 minYour dentist evaluates your gums, any remaining teeth, your bite, and your goals. Photos and impressions are taken. We discuss whether full, partial, or implant-supported dentures are the best fit for you.
- 02
Detailed impressions
30 minPrecise impressions of your gums and any remaining teeth are taken so the denture base fits accurately. For implant-supported cases, this step happens after implants have integrated.
- 03
Bite registration and tooth selection
30 minYour bite is recorded, and you choose the shape and shade of the replacement teeth. The lab uses these specs to fabricate a wax try-in.
- 04
Try-in and approval
30 minYou try in a wax version of the denture and we evaluate fit, bite, and appearance. Adjustments are made before the final denture is processed. This step prevents surprises.
- 05
Delivery and adjustments
45 minYou receive the finished denture, we fit it carefully, and review care instructions. Brief follow-up visits during the first few weeks fine-tune any pressure spots as your gums adjust.

FAQ
Dentures & Partials — questions answered.
-
How much do dentures cost in Pueblo West?
A full upper or lower denture typically ranges from $1,500 to $3,000. Partial dentures range from $1,500 to $2,500. Implant-supported dentures (with 2–4 implants) range from $5,500 to $15,000+ depending on the number of implants and complexity. Most PPO plans cover dentures at 50% after deductible.
-
How long do dentures take to make?
Standard dentures take about 4 to 8 weeks from initial impressions to delivery, including the try-in step. Implant-supported dentures take 4–6 months because the implants must integrate with the bone before the denture is attached.
-
How long do dentures last?
A well-made denture typically lasts 5 to 10 years. Over time, your gums and jawbone naturally change shape, which means even a good denture eventually needs to be relined or replaced. Implant-supported dentures last longer because the implants prevent bone loss.
-
Will dentures look natural?
Modern dentures can look very natural — particularly when you use the try-in step to refine tooth shape, shade, and arrangement before the denture is finalized. Tooth shade is matched to your skin tone and age. Tooth arrangement can include subtle imperfections that read as natural rather than fake.
-
What's the difference between regular and implant-supported dentures?
Regular dentures rest on your gums, held in place by suction (uppers) or balance (lowers). Lower regular dentures often feel loose because there's no good place for them to grip. Implant-supported dentures snap onto 2–4 dental implants placed in the jaw — they don't move, you can chew anything, and the implants prevent the bone loss that happens with regular dentures.
-
Can I sleep with my dentures in?
Generally not recommended. Removing dentures at night gives your gum tissue a rest, allows you to clean the dentures thoroughly, and reduces the risk of yeast infection (denture stomatitis). Soak them overnight in water or a denture cleanser.
-
How long does it take to get used to dentures?
Most patients adjust to new dentures within 2 to 4 weeks. The first few days you may notice extra saliva, slight difficulty speaking certain sounds, and pressure spots — all of which improve quickly with adjustments. Eating tougher foods is the last thing to come back; start with soft foods and progress as you feel ready.
