I Need Dentures. Where Do I Start?

In this video, Remi Berube, DD explains the denture process, from your initial consultation and extractions to immediate dentures and long-term implant-supported options designed for comfort, stability, and confidence.

When you’re exploring denture options, the process starts with your first appointment. Many of our patients have all of their procedures done here, from extractions to their final dentures.
 
At your consultation, we perform a full evaluation to figure out the right direction. Our first question is whether your natural teeth can still be saved or whether it’s time to remove them. If extractions are needed, we schedule that first.
 
From there, you have several denture options. We offer tiered choices, starting with immediate dentures, which are tissue-supported and placed the same day your teeth are removed. After you’ve healed, you can stay with a traditional tissue-supported denture or move into a final restoration that includes implants for added stability.
 
If you’d like to review these options in detail, the front desk can set up a consultation for you.
 
If you or someone you love is struggling with missing teeth or loose dentures, contact Big Sky Dentures & Implants in Missoula, MT, for a dental implant consultation to learn how our life-changing treatments can enhance your smile, improve your function, and restore your self-confidence.

How long do dentures last? With good care and regular checkups, many dentures last several years, and Cleveland Clinic puts the average lifespan of a denture at about seven to 10 years.

Denture Adhesive: How to Use It and When It Signals a Fit Problem
