At Unique Dental, Dr. Mai Nguyen, an experienced dentist, designs custom dentures that restore comfort, confidence, and function. Whether you need a full arch solution or a partial to replace several teeth, we focus on a precise fit, natural appearance, and clear guidance at every step so you can chew, speak, and smile with ease.
Types of dentures
Complete dentures replace all teeth in an arch with a lifelike, removable appliance that supports facial muscles and improves speech and chewing. Partial dentures clasp to remaining teeth to fill spaces and help prevent shifting. Implant-retained overdentures “snap” to dental implants for added stability. Immediate dentures are placed the day of extractions so you leave with teeth while tissues heal.
Is a denture right for me?
During a consultation in Houston, Texas, we review your goals, medical history, gum health, and bone support. Photos and digital scans help us plan tooth shape, shade, and smile line. If you clench or have dry mouth, we consider materials and design features that increase comfort and durability. You will see options and timelines before treatment begins.
What to expect
Your sequence may include impressions or scans, bite records, and a wax try-in to preview esthetics and speech. After any needed extractions or tissue shaping, we deliver your custom denture and make fine adjustments for comfort. Several short visits may be scheduled early on to refine bite and fit as your mouth adapts.
Benefits, care, and follow-up
Dentures restore chewing efficiency, support facial contours, and improve clarity of speech. Clean daily with a soft brush and nonabrasive cleanser, soak overnight in a denture solution, and avoid hot water. Keep gums and remaining teeth healthy with regular dental checkups. Most patients need periodic relines as tissues change. If sore spots or looseness develop, contact us—small adjustments bring quick relief.

Denture FAQs
What kind of dentures do you offer?
We provide complete, partial, and implant-retained overdentures, along with immediate dentures after extractions. Your recommendation depends on remaining teeth, bone support, and lifestyle goals. We review esthetics, stability, and maintenance so you can choose the design that fits your daily routine and long-term plans.
How long does it take to get dentures?
Most cases take several appointments over a few weeks. Steps include records, try-in, delivery, and follow-up adjustments. If extractions are needed, healing time is factored in. Immediate dentures offer same-day teeth, with relines as tissues settle. We map a clear timeline before treatment begins.
Will I be without teeth during treatment?
Not necessarily. Immediate dentures are placed right after extractions so you leave with teeth. As gums heal, we refine fit with tissue conditioners and planned relines. If immediate dentures are not ideal, we discuss temporary options so you can speak and smile comfortably throughout treatment.
How do I care for my new dentures?
Rinse after meals, brush gently with a denture brush, and soak nightly in a recommended cleanser. Never use hot water or abrasive toothpaste. Clean gums and remaining teeth daily and schedule regular checkups. If your denture rubs or feels loose, call the office for quick adjustments and long-term comfort.
