Removable Dentures in New Orleans
Removable dentures in New Orleans, custom crafted in our own on-site laboratory by Reza Edalati, DDS, MS — a prosthodontist, the specialist the ADA recognizes for dentures.
Types of removable dentures
Affordable, custom-made solutions for every patient, matched to how many teeth you are missing and where.
Partial dentures
For patients missing several teeth. A partial uses your remaining teeth to anchor the removable bridge in place, typically a metal framework with pink acrylic replacing gum tissue and denture teeth. The number and location of the missing teeth affect comfort and stability, and dental implants can be used to increase the stability of a partial.
Complete dentures
Complete dentures replace all of your teeth. By matching your unique smile and bite, they can improve facial appearance and self-confidence, solve pronunciation problems caused by missing teeth, and restore your ability to chew.
Immediate dentures
An immediate denture is placed at the same appointment as your extractions, so you are never without teeth while your gums heal. It is typically replaced after healing with either a conventional complete denture or an implant denture.
Consider removable dentures if any of these describe you:
- You want an affordable tooth replacement you can remove at night for easier cleaning
- You want to restore the fullness of your face for a more youthful appearance
- You are missing several or all teeth on one or both arches
- You want a denture made in an on-site laboratory, custom for your anatomy
Made here, fitted here
Every denture is custom made in our own on-site laboratory rather than sent to an outside lab. That means no outsourcing and no delays, and adjustments can be made while you wait.
| Feature | Our on-site lab | Outsourced lab |
|---|---|---|
| Made for your anatomy | Custom, case by case | Often templated |
| Adjustments | Handled in-house | Sent away and back |
| Designed by a specialist | Prosthodontist-led | Varies |
Your denture journey, step by step
A careful, patient-centered process from impressions to your final fitting.
Impressions
A thorough impression appointment captures your muscle movements and gum tissue for the most accurate fit possible. Your anatomy guides every step of fabrication.
Wax-rim try-in
A wax rim is tried in as a template for your new tooth positions. We evaluate lip support, esthetics, phonetics, and function, and you choose the shape, color, and size of your teeth.
Wax try-in
Your new teeth are tried in wax so you can see how they look and how you speak with them. After your approval, the dentures are finalized in acrylic resin in our on-site lab.
Final fitting
Your custom dentures are fitted to your mouth, and one adjustment appointment is typically included. New dentures are like a new pair of shoes — expect a short break-in period.

Removable denture questions, answered
What is the difference between a partial and a complete denture?
A partial replaces several missing teeth and anchors to the teeth you still have. A complete denture replaces all of the teeth on an arch. Which one suits you depends on how many natural teeth remain and where they sit.
Will I be without teeth after extractions?
No. An immediate denture is placed at the same appointment as your extractions so you have teeth while your gums heal. It is typically replaced afterward with a conventional complete denture or an implant denture.
How long does it take to get used to dentures?
Expect a short break-in period. New dentures are like a new pair of shoes, and one adjustment appointment is typically included to fine-tune the fit.
Can dentures be made more stable?
Yes. Dental implants can be used to increase the stability of a removable partial or complete denture, which is how snap-in dentures work.
How much do removable dentures cost?
It depends on the denture type, how many teeth are replaced, and whether extractions or other preparation are needed. You receive a clear cost breakdown before treatment begins, with CareCredit financing available.
