Full Dentures

Handcrafted Complete Dentures Custom-Made for Your Smile

At Berlanga Dentures, we believe everyone deserves a confident, radiant smile at any age. Our experienced denturists at Parkland Denture Center in Tacoma, WA, and Meridian Denture Center in Puyallup, WA, handcraft every set of full dentures in our on-site lab using only the finest materials available. From your very first consultation through your final fitting, we guide you through every step of the process with care, expertise, and personal attention.

Full dentures, also known as complete dentures, replace an entire row of teeth along the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both. Because we fabricate every denture entirely by hand we maintain complete control over quality and can ensure each set is uniquely tailored to your mouth, your bite, and your smile.

Getting dentures is a major step. That's why we always recommend starting with a free, no-pressure consultation so our denturists can walk you through all your options and answer every question before treatment begins.

What Are Full Dentures?

Full dentures are custom-fitted, removable prosthetic teeth designed to look and function like your natural teeth. Modern dentures have come a long way, when properly crafted by a skilled denturist and correctly fitted, they are nearly indistinguishable from natural teeth.

At Berlanga Dentures, every denture is 100% handcrafted in our on-site lab using premium materials, including Phonares II teeth, precision-crafted with Nano Hybrid Composite for an exceptionally natural appearance. The result is a fully personalized denture that fits comfortably, looks completely natural, and is made to last.

Benefits of Full Dentures

Easier Chewing: Missing teeth change your bite and make everyday eating a challenge. Custom-fit full dentures restore your ability to chew comfortably so you can enjoy the foods you love again.

Renewed Confidence: A missing smile can affect your self-esteem and how you interact with the world. A beautifully crafted set of full dentures restores your appearance and gives you back the freedom to smile without hesitation.

Clearer Speech: Missing teeth can make it difficult to pronounce certain sounds. Properly fitted dentures support your lips, tongue, and jaw — helping you speak naturally and confidently again.

Facial Support: Without teeth, the bone and tissue in your jaw can begin to recede over time, leading to a sunken facial appearance. Full dentures provide the structural support your face needs to maintain a more youthful look.

How Are Full Dentures Made?

The process begins with a comprehensive consultation and impressions of your mouth. If you're getting dentures for the first time, your teeth will need to be extracted by a dentist or oral surgeon. Most patients choose immediate dentures so they never have to go a single day without teeth during the healing process.

Once your mouth has healed, we take precise impressions and craft your dentures entirely by hand in our on-site lab. We carefully match tooth shape, shade, and size to your facial features and personal preferences. After fabrication, we fit and adjust your dentures until they feel completely comfortable and natural.

With proper care, full dentures can last 7–10 years. We also offer relining and adjustments to keep your dentures fitting well as your mouth naturally changes over time.
