Comfortable, Natural-Looking Dentures
Ready to eat, speak, and smile with confidence again? Full and partial dentures in Salt Lake City, UT, replace missing teeth with natural-looking, custom-fit restorations that bring back both your smile and your daily comfort. At Rod Gleave, DMD, we craft dentures that fit securely and look beautifully natural.
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are custom-made, removable replacements for missing teeth. A full denture replaces all of the teeth in your upper or lower jaw, while a partial denture fills the gaps left by several missing teeth and clasps onto your remaining natural ones. Today's dentures are a far cry from the bulky, obvious sets of the past. At Rod Gleave, DMD, we create comfortable, natural-looking dentures, with implant-supported options available, so you can eat, speak, and smile with renewed confidence.
Signs You May Need Dentures
-
Missing Teeth: If you've lost several or all of your teeth, full or partial dentures can restore your smile and your ability to eat and speak.
-
Failing Teeth: When teeth are too damaged or decayed to save, replacing them with dentures can be a healthier, more comfortable option.
-
Difficulty Eating: Struggling to chew because of missing or loose teeth is a clear sign that dentures could greatly improve your daily life.
-
Ill-Fitting Dentures: Old dentures that slip, click, or feel uncomfortable can be replaced with a custom set that fits securely and naturally.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Check out these frequently asked questions, or contact us to speak with our team.
How soon can I get dentures in Salt Lake City, UT?
The denture process usually takes a few visits to ensure the perfect fit, and immediate options may be available in some cases. New patients are typically seen within the same week, so call (801) 262-0744 or book online to begin.
How much do dentures cost?
The cost depends on whether you need full, partial, or implant-supported dentures, and many dental plans cover part of the treatment. Our team will review the full price and your options with you before any work begins.
Does Rod Gleave, DMD, take my insurance?
We're in-network with most major PPO plans, many of which cover a portion of denture treatment. We also welcome out-of-network plans and accept Medicaid, and our team is glad to verify your benefits first.
How long do dentures last?
With proper care, dentures typically last five to ten years, though they may need adjustments or relining as your mouth changes over time. Regular checkups help keep them fitting comfortably.
Are implant-supported dentures an option?
Yes. Implant-supported dentures snap securely onto dental implants for a more stable, natural feel, especially helpful if your dentures tend to slip. Our dentists can help you decide if they're right for you.
