Sound familiar?
Clicking, shifting, and worrying about your teeth mid-sentence.
Rubbing and pressure points that make wearing them all day uncomfortable.
Avoiding steak, apples, corn on the cob, nuts — and eating carefully in public.
An upper denture covers your palate, dulling temperature and flavor.
Without tooth roots, the jawbone gradually shrinks — and dentures fit worse over time.
Paste, powders and cleanups that never really go away.
Our philosophy
Dr. Parker Falkenberg doesn’t offer snap-in overdentures or acrylic final bridges. Not because they never work — but because a fixed, milled zirconia bridge is the result he’d want for his own family.
Zirconia is extremely strong, resists staining, and is designed to look like natural teeth. Fixed means it stays in — always. That’s the standard for every patient.
Already wearing dentures?
Many of our patients have worn dentures for years — even decades. Bone loss is real, but a 3D CBCT scan shows exactly how much bone you have and where. That’s what determines your plan, not how long you’ve worn a denture.
FAQ
Often, yes. Long-term denture wearers do lose bone, but a 3D CBCT scan frequently shows enough bone in the right places for a full-arch plan. Your consult will tell you for certain.
Most patients say they feel far more natural than dentures. They don’t move, there’s no plate on the roof of your mouth, and you brush them in place.
No. We focus only on fixed full-arch bridges in milled zirconia, because they stay in, don’t need to be removed, and hold up better over time.
Your fixed provisional teeth are delivered within about 24 hours of surgery, and your final zirconia bridge follows after healing.
Implants cost more upfront than dentures. Patients choose them because they stay fixed, help preserve the jawbone, and avoid the ongoing relines, adhesives and replacements dentures can require.
