In this video, Remi Berube, DD, explains how rebuilding a smile is planned step by step and how different denture and implant options can be matched to your long-term goals.
When you’re ready to rebuild your smile, especially if your natural teeth have been failing for years, we start by planning the best option based on your goals. If you want a fixed solution that stays in your mouth, we focus on implants. If you prefer traditional dentures, we plan for that instead. Many patients choose a hybrid approach: starting with dentures and later transitioning to something fixed.
Here’s what that typically looks like: On the day your teeth are removed, we place an immediate denture, so you leave the office with teeth in place. After healing, we explore long-term solutions such as snap-on dentures or a fully fixed roundhouse bridge. We provide the entire range of these treatments in our office.
If you’d like to go over your options in detail, speak with the front desk, and we’ll set up a consultation.
If you or someone you love is struggling with missing teeth or loose dentures, contact Big Sky Dentures & Implants in Missoula, MT, for a mini implant consultation to learn how our life-changing treatments can enhance your smile, improve your function, and restore your self-confidence.

Denture adhesive can make a good denture feel more secure, seal out food particles, and give you extra confidence when you eat or speak in public. Used the right way, a small amount is all you need. Used to hold a loose denture in place, though, adhesive becomes a band-aid for a fit problem. At Big Sky Dentures in [...]
Affordable dentures should mean more than the lowest price on a flyer. For most people, truly affordable dentures are ones that fit well, are covered as much as your benefits allow, and do not lead to a string of extra visits, remakes, or sore spots later. At Big Sky Dentures in Missoula, MT, our focus is affordable, same-day denture [...]
Flexible dentures are removable partial dentures made from a thin, bendable resin, usually a type of nylon, instead of rigid acrylic and metal. Because the base and clasps can be tinted to match your gums, flexible dentures can replace missing teeth without the flash of metal that some people dislike about traditional partials. They can be an excellent choice [...]
