Dentures in Peoria, AZ

What are dentures?

Dentures are custom-made removable replacements for missing teeth that restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence when you are missing several or all of your teeth. At Copper Sky Dental, a locally owned practice, not a corporate chain, 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.

50 Years of Fitting Dentures, What That Experience Means for You

Dr. Robert Holyoak has been fitting patients with dentures since 1976. Over five decades, he's 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 doesn't come from a textbook; it comes from thousands of patient interactions over a career.

Dr. Lisa Kubik, DMD, brings current clinical training and a shared commitment to getting the fit right. As a locally owned practice, we don't operate on production timelines. We take the appointments needed to ensure your denture actually works, not only on the day you receive it, but months and years later.

Why Fit Matters More Than the Appliance Itself

When a denture doesn't 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.

This is why the fit-and-follow-up process matters as much as the appliance itself. We don't 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 Isn't Working Anymore

If you already have dentures and they're not fitting well, you're 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's time to come in: your denture moves when you chew, you're using more adhesive than you used to, you have recurring sore spots that don't 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. We'll give you an honest assessment.

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.

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. That continuity is genuinely difficult to replicate, and it matters enormously for patients who depend on their dentures every day.

How long does it take to get dentures?

The denture process typically involves several appointments over a few weeks. We take detailed impressions of your mouth, work with a dental lab to fabricate your custom appliance, and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a comfortable fit. We don't consider the process complete until you're satisfied with how your dentures look and feel.

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 All-on-4 full-arch 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.
