Why an on-site lab?
Care and craftsmanship, in the same building.
Behind every great smile is skilled craftsmanship. Our in-house lab technician works side by side with your dentist, in the same building, to design and finish your teeth. That means closer communication, a more personalized fit, and fewer delays than sending your case to an outside lab.
Most dental offices send their lab work to a facility across the country and wait days for it to return. We do it differently. Our lab technician works on-site and collaborates directly with our doctors throughout your treatment.

Are Your Dentures Slipping or Uncomfortable?
Loose or uncomfortable dentures aren’t something you simply have to live with. Our prosthodontic team evaluates the fit, function, and condition of your existing dentures and can discuss appropriate treatment options—including new dentures or implant-supported solutions.

We can assess denture stability and discuss options, including whether implant-supported dentures may be suitable.

From treatment planning to your final smile.
Replacing missing teeth is about more than making a denture that looks good. Your dentures should be designed to fit comfortably, function naturally, and complement your facial appearance.
At our practice, patients benefit from the combined expertise of a prosthodontist and an experienced in-house prosthetic dental technician. This close collaboration allows your doctor and technician to communicate directly throughout the denture process.
Denture treatment is more than simply sending a case to an outside laboratory. Having Dave available in-house gives our team the opportunity to pay close attention to fit, function, appearance, and comfort throughout treatment.

Everyday denture questions
Ask Dave: Denture Questions Answered
From a loose fit to a natural-looking smile, start with clear explanations of the things denture wearers want to know.
These answers are for general patient education, not a diagnosis or a substitute for an individual dental evaluation.
Why do dentures become loose?
The gums and underlying bone can change over time after teeth are lost, while the denture base does not change with them. Wear can also affect the fit and bite. Your prosthodontist can assess whether an adjustment, a reline to refit the base, or replacement may help. Adding more adhesive is not a substitute for having a loose denture evaluated.
