Dentures in McKinney, TX
A denture should let you forget you are wearing one. We offer four options — complete dentures, partial dentures, flexible partial dentures and implant-supported overdentures — and Dr. Tirmizi will explain the differences in plain terms so you can choose what fits your mouth, your comfort and your budget. Fitted carefully and adjusted until they sit right, because a denture that slips is a denture you stop wearing.

Frequently asked
What does the denture consultation include, and what does it cost?
The consultation with Dr. Tirmizi is free. If you want a full evaluation, the new-patient exam is $79 for self-pay patients and includes X-rays, a panoramic image, a 3D CBCT scan and an iTero scan. The iTero scan lets us show you a simulation of how your smile could look after treatment, so you can see the likely look and feel before you decide. The simulation is a preview, not a guarantee of the final result.
What is a flexible partial denture?
It is a partial denture made on a thin, flexible base instead of a rigid acrylic-and-metal frame. It is lightweight and the clasps blend with your gums, so there is less visible metal. It is not right for every mouth, and we will tell you honestly whether it suits yours.
What is an implant-supported overdenture?
A denture that attaches to a small number of dental implants and snaps on and off, so it stays put when you eat and speak. It needs enough healthy bone and a healing period, and Dr. Tirmizi will review your X-rays before recommending it.
What is the difference between a complete and a partial denture?
A complete denture replaces every tooth in an arch. A partial denture replaces only the missing teeth and is held in place by the teeth you still have.
How long does it take to get dentures?
It varies with your situation. A straightforward case is usually several appointments across a few weeks — impressions, a try-in to check fit and appearance, then delivery. If extractions or healing are involved, the timeline is longer. We will map it out for you at the consultation.
Will my dentures look natural?
That is the goal. Shape, shade and how much tooth shows when you smile are all chosen with you at the try-in stage, before the final set is made.
Dentures or implants — which is right for me?
It depends on your bone, your health, your priorities and your budget. Implants generally offer the most stability; dentures are less invasive and cost less up front. Implant-supported dentures sit between the two. Dr. Tirmizi will give you an honest comparison for your specific case rather than steering you toward one.
Will eating and speaking feel different?
At first, yes — most people need an adjustment period, and reading aloud at home helps speech settle faster. Come back if anything rubs or slips; adjustments are a normal part of the process, not a sign something went wrong.
Can my existing denture be repaired or relined?
Often, yes. Bring it in and we will tell you honestly whether a repair or reline will hold, or whether you are better served by a new set.
Does insurance cover dentures, and can I finance them?
Many plans cover a portion. We will check your benefits and give you a written estimate before treatment, and financing is available through Cherry with pre-approval that does not affect your credit.
