What are dentures?
Dentures are custom-made removable replacements for missing teeth that let you eat and speak normally again when you are missing several or all of your teeth. At Copper Sky Dental, a locally owned practice, Dr. Robert Holyoak and Dr. Lisa Kubik have helped patients throughout Peoria, Sun City, and the West Valley find well-fitting denture solutions. We offer free second opinions on denture treatment plans. Call (623) 933-8410 to schedule a consultation.
Comparing your tooth-replacement options
Copper Sky Dental offers three ways to replace a full arch of teeth, from removable to permanently fixed. The right one depends on your jawbone, your budget, and how much stability you want.

Fitting dentures since 1976
Dr. Robert Holyoak has been fitting patients with dentures since 1976. Over five decades, he has developed a deep understanding of how the jaw changes over time, how bone resorbs after tooth loss, how gum tissue thins with age, how medications that cause dry mouth affect comfort and fit, and how the bite shifts when a denture starts to loosen. This is the kind of pattern recognition that does not come from a textbook; it comes from thousands of patient interactions over a career.
Dr. Lisa Kubik, DMD, works alongside him. We schedule as many fitting and adjustment visits as your denture needs.
What a loose denture does to your jaw
When a denture does not fit properly, the consequences go beyond discomfort. A loose denture causes sore spots, makes chewing difficult, affects speech, and, critically, accelerates bone loss in the jaw. When teeth are removed, the jawbone no longer receives the stimulation it needs from chewing, and it begins to resorb (shrink). A poorly fitting denture that rocks and shifts actually speeds up this process by applying uneven pressure to the underlying bone. Over time, this creates a cycle where the denture fits worse and worse as the bone changes.
We do not consider a denture complete when we place it. We schedule follow-up visits to evaluate how the tissue is responding, make adjustments, and catch any areas of irritation early.
When your existing denture is not working anymore
If you already have dentures and they are not fitting well, you are not alone. Bone resorption is ongoing, and a denture that fit beautifully three years ago may be loose and uncomfortable today. Here are the signs it is time to come in: your denture moves when you chew, you are using more adhesive than you used to, you have recurring sore spots that do not resolve, your face looks sunken or collapsed around your mouth, or your bite feels different.
In many cases, a reline, a process where the interior of the denture is refitted to match your current jaw shape, can restore comfort and function. In other cases, a new appliance or a transition to implant-supported options may be the better path.
What types of dentures are there?
We offer full dentures, partial dentures, implant-supported dentures, and denture repairs. The right choice depends on how many teeth you are missing and whether you want a removable or a fixed, more permanent result.
Full dentures
A complete set of upper or lower replacement teeth for patients who have lost all of their natural teeth in an arch. Full dentures in Peoria, AZ rest on the gum tissue and are custom-made to fit your mouth and match your natural appearance.
Partial dentures
For patients who still have some healthy natural teeth remaining, a partial denture fills in the gaps and is anchored to existing teeth with clasps. Partial dentures in Peoria, AZ prevent remaining teeth from shifting and restore normal chewing function.
Implant-supported dentures
Traditional dentures can slip, require adhesive, and limit what you can eat. Implant-supported dentures are anchored to dental implants placed in the jawbone, giving you a far more stable and natural-feeling result. They do not need adhesive, and they help preserve the jawbone.
Denture repairs
If your existing denture is cracked, broken, or no longer fits properly due to changes in your jaw or gum tissue, we can evaluate and repair it. A poorly fitting denture speeds bone loss, so do not put off a repair.
Continuity of care for long-term denture wearers
Denture care is a long-term relationship. At a corporate dental chain, your records may move with you while a different provider works on your case every visit. At Copper Sky Dental, your history stays with a small team. Dr. Holyoak and Dr. Kubik review long-standing denture cases together, so the practice remembers how your jaw has changed over the years, what your previous appliances looked like, and which adjustments have worked.
How much do dentures cost?
Denture cost depends on the type of appliance and whether any extractions or other preparatory work are needed. As a general guide, a full denture for one arch commonly runs from about $1,000 to $3,000, and partial dentures from about $700 to $1,800. Individual cases vary, so we never quote a guaranteed price sight unseen.
Implant-supported and permanent denture options cost more because they include the implants that hold the teeth in place, and you can compare those on our permanent dentures page. We provide clear, written pricing before treatment so you can make an informed decision. We work with most major dental insurance plans and are happy to verify your coverage before your first appointment. You can review the insurance plans we accept to see how your benefits may apply.
Fitting denture appointments into your week
A new denture typically takes several appointments over a few weeks: impressions, a fitting, then adjustments once you have worn it long enough to know where it rubs. In some cases we can place an immediate denture at the time of extraction instead.
Because those visits fall close together, a short trip matters more here than for one-off treatment. We are on the Peoria and Sun City border, and about 15 minutes from Sun City West via Bell Road. Call (623) 933-8410 or contact us online.

Dentures FAQ
Answers to common questions about dentures in Peoria, AZ
How long do dentures last?
Most well-made dentures last five to 10 years before they need to be relined or replaced. Your mouth changes shape over time as the jawbone settles, so even a denture in good condition will eventually fit less securely and need adjustment. Regular checkups let us catch a loose or worn denture early, which protects your gums and helps you keep eating comfortably.
What types of dentures do you offer in Peoria, AZ?
We offer full dentures for patients missing all teeth in an arch, partial dentures for patients with some remaining natural teeth, and implant-supported dentures for the most stable and natural-feeling result. We recommend one based on how many teeth you have left, your jawbone, and your budget.
How long does it take to get dentures?
The denture process typically takes several appointments over a few weeks. This includes impressions, try-ins, and adjustments. We work with a dental lab to fabricate your custom appliance and make any necessary modifications to ensure a comfortable fit.
How do I care for my dentures?
Remove and rinse dentures after eating. Brush them daily with a soft brush and denture cleaner (not regular toothpaste). Soak them overnight in water or denture solution. Also brush your gums and any remaining teeth. Bring dentures to regular checkups for evaluation and professional cleaning.
What are implant-supported dentures?
Implant-supported dentures are anchored to dental implants placed in the jawbone. They do not slip, do not require adhesive, and feel far more natural than traditional removable dentures. They also help preserve jawbone density over time.
Can you repair my existing dentures?
Yes. If your existing denture is cracked, broken, or no longer fits properly, we can evaluate and often repair it. Denture repair in Peoria, AZ should not be delayed, as a poorly fitting denture can cause sore spots, difficulty eating, and accelerated bone loss.
How much do dentures cost in Peoria, AZ?
Denture costs vary based on the type of appliance and whether any preparatory work is needed. We provide clear, upfront pricing so you can make an informed decision. We work with most major dental insurance plans and are happy to verify your coverage before your first appointment.
Are same-day dentures available?
In some cases, we can provide immediate (same-day) dentures that are placed at the time of extraction so you do not have to go without teeth. These may require additional adjustments as your gums heal. We will discuss whether same-day dentures are appropriate for your situation.
