Why Patients Choose
Gooch Family Dental for Dentures
Tooth loss doesn't have to mean settling for a slipping prosthetic or getting shuffled between practices
for implant work. Our Birmingham, AL, team owns the full case, from surgery to getting your permanent denture.
On-Site Implants and Denture Restoration
Many dental practices place dental implants but send patients elsewhere for the denture, or vice versa. Our team handles both the implant placement and the final denture restoration in our Birmingham, AL, office, so your case never gets handed off.
Craftsmanship With a Trusted Dental Lab
Our practice works in collaboration with a reputable dental lab whose technicians are specially trained in the latest production methods. In as little as two weeks, your hand-crafted denture is ready for adjustment and placement.
Sedation Available for Denture Prep Work
Nitrous oxide and oral sedation are available for patients who need extractions, bone grafts, or implant placement before receiving dentures. Comfort options mean anxiety no longer stands between you and a restored smile.
Denture Cost and Financing
Denture pricing varies with the type of denture (traditional removable versus implant-supported), the materials used, and whether preparatory work (extractions, bone grafts, or implant placement) is needed. Our team provides a precise cost estimate at your consultation.
Traditional removable dentures are more affordable than implant-supported options. For patients on a tight budget, removable dentures may be the better starting point, and we offer flexible financing through CareCredit® so treatment fits your monthly plan. Our team can go over insurance coverage and payment options during a consultation to help you find the best treatment path.

Learn about Your Options
Traditional Complete Dentures
Traditional dentures are removable prosthetic devices composed of artificial gums and teeth. Traditional complete dentures, also referred to as full dentures, are constructed of pink acrylic for the gums and palate, and high-quality plastic or porcelain teeth. Complete dentures span an entire top or bottom arch, resting directly over your gums, and rely on natural suction and specially formulated adhesives for added support.
Traditional Partial Dentures
Partial dentures restore several missing teeth and typically include a base of artificial teeth attached to a metal framework that secures around your natural teeth. While some patients with tooth decay are better served with extractions and full dentures, others can use their remaining healthy teeth for additional denture support. During your consultation at our Birmingham practice, we will assess your oral health and determine the best long-term option for your condition.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Our dentists typically recommend implant-retained dentures to patients that qualify. This option can be designed to fill either a full or partial dental arch. Dental implants in Birmingham, AL, are placed within the jawbone, replacing missing tooth roots and providing an incredibly stable foundation to secure your denture. Implant dentures look and feel extremely natural, and are the only type of denture that guards against bone loss. Meanwhile, they are fixed in place, eliminating the tedious and often embarrassing aspects of traditional denture care such as rinsing after meals and soaking overnight.
The Benefits
of Dental Implant-Supported Dentures
When you lose even a single tooth, the jaw loses the stimulation the tooth root once provided, which causes the jawbone tissue to recede. Implants act as artificial tooth roots to provide the jaw with the stimulation it needs to stay healthy. And because your dentures are secured to the implants, you won't have to worry about them slipping when you eat or speak, and you do not need to deal with denture adhesives. Implant-supported dentures look and function just like natural teeth.

Life with Dentures
Aftercare and Maintenance
It can take some time to get accustomed to removable dentures, especially as the muscles in your mouth strengthen and adapt to the prosthetic. Over time, your denture should begin to feel more natural and comfortable. Expect to visit our Birmingham practice periodically for adjustments to the fit. Care for your traditional dentures by removing and soaking overnight in denture solution, and brushing twice a day over a soft towel.
In contrast, implant-supported dentures require far less maintenance. For the most part, they are cared for like natural teeth and stay in your mouth until periodic check-ups. If you have any questions at all about caring for your dentures, don't hesitate to contact our dentists.
