Skip to content Digital and traditional dentures replace missing teeth, helping you eat, speak, and smile more easily.
Dentures are removable replacement teeth set into a gum-colored base. They can replace a full arch of teeth or fill gaps between the natural teeth you still have. For many people, dentures let them chew a wider range of foods again, speak more clearly, and smile without covering their mouth.
At SmileCraft Dental, we make dentures two ways. We design digital dentures from scans of your mouth. Traditional dentures are built from physical impressions and shaped through a series of fittings. Both can be made as full or partial sets. We’ll explain how the two approaches differ so you can choose the one that makes sense for you.
Getting dentures often involves more than the dentures themselves. Some teeth may need to come out first, and some patients later want something more stable than a removable set. Our office provides extractions with bone grafting, CBCT imaging, dental implants, implant-supported dentures, and full-arch fixed solutions. If your plans change down the road, you can stay with the same team.
Our office sits on the Leander–Cedar Park line, which makes it convenient for patients in both cities. It’s also within reach for patients coming from Liberty Hill, Georgetown, and Round Rock.
Digital dentures start with a scan instead of impression putty in a tray. We use our intraoral 3D scanner to record the shape of your gums and any remaining teeth, then design the denture on a computer from that scan. For patients who dislike impression molds or tend to gag on them, this can make the process easier. Digital dentures are available as full sets that replace an entire arch, or as partials that fit around your natural teeth.
Traditional dentures are made from physical impressions of your mouth. Before we finish your final denture, you'll come in for one or more try-in appointments. This gives you a chance to see the teeth in place, check the fit and your bite, and request changes along the way. Some patients like having that step-by-step involvement. Dentures can also be full or partial.
Your first visit starts with a conversation and an exam of your gums, remaining teeth, and bone, with CBCT imaging when we need a 3D view. We’ll explain your options (digital or traditional, full or partial) and their costs, then choose together what fits your needs and budget. Take all the time you need to decide.
We’ll handle any extractions first, then take digital scans or traditional impressions. When your dentures are ready, we’ll check the fit and bite and show you how to insert, remove, and clean them.
Adjusting takes time. Sore spots, extra saliva, or slight speech changes are common in the first few weeks, and softer foods help. If anything rubs or feels loose, call us for an adjustment. For longer visits, ask for a blanket, neck pillow, noise-canceling headphones, or a drink. We offer nitrous oxide if you feel anxious.
Many dental insurance plans treat dentures as a major service. That usually means coverage is partial, and some plans limit how often you can replace dentures. SmileCraft Dental is in-network with most major PPO plans, and we also offer fee-for-service care. Before you commit, our front desk will check your benefits and walk you through an estimate of your out-of-pocket cost.
If you don’t have insurance, our Dental Savings Plan can help. Members get 30% off most treatments, including dentures, plus two exams, two cleanings, X-rays, and a fluoride treatment each year. Membership is $449 a year for an individual. The family membership is $699 a year and covers two adults and two children under 16, with each additional child at $199. The plan is a discount program, not dental insurance.
Financing through Cherry is also available, and you can apply on our website.
SmileCraft Dental is at 1513 E New Hope Dr Ste. A1, Leander, TX 78641, right at the Leander–Cedar Park line. Haute Spot and Scheels are both a short walk away, and the Cedar Park Costco and the new Nebraska Furniture Mart are nearby. That makes it easy to fit errands around an appointment.

It depends on how many healthy natural teeth you have left. If you still have some strong teeth, a partial denture can work around them. If most or all of the teeth in an arch are missing or need to come out, a full denture is usually the better fit.
It varies from person to person. Many people need a few weeks to adjust to eating and speaking with new dentures. Sore spots are common early on, and we can adjust the fit when you let us know.
Usually, yes, at some point. Your gums and jawbone change shape over time, so a denture that fit well at first may loosen. We’ll check the fit at your visits and talk about relining or replacing it when it’s needed.
Loose dentures can sometimes be refit. For more stability, implant-supported dentures attach to implants placed in your jaw, and we offer them in our office.
If you’re missing teeth, need to have teeth removed, or have dentures that no longer fit well, we’ll walk you through your options.
