Did you know that dentures today are much more effective and comfortable than they used to be? When you think about dentures, you may imagine a dental treatment that’s more awkward or undesirable, but the truth is that dentures are an effective, practical treatment for individuals who are missing many or all of their teeth.
If you are missing teeth and looking to improve your quality of life, dentures placed by an experienced cosmetic dentist could be the right option for you. At OKC Smiles, our dentist and staff will find the best treatment plan to restore your mouth to functionality, so that you can go back to using your teeth comfortably.

The problem with missing teeth extends beyond aesthetics. It can lead to a range of dental and oral health issues.
For starters, gaps in your smile can cause the remaining teeth to shift, leading to misalignment and bite problems. Additionally, missing teeth mean less stimulation for your jawbone during chewing. Over time, this lack of stimulation can lead to bone loss in the jaw, altering your facial structure and causing premature aging.
Missing teeth can make certain words difficult to pronounce, impacting speech clarity. They can also restrict your diet, preventing you from enjoying all your favorite foods. Address your missing teeth for the sake of your overall oral health and quality of life.
Dentures In Oklahoma City
Dentures are false/prosthetic teeth or devices used to fill gaps in your smile, reconstruct weakened or damaged areas of your smile, or replace your natural teeth altogether. Depending on your unique situation and circumstances, the team at OKC Smiles will work with you to develop the perfect customized cosmetic dental solution for you.
We offer several options for dentures. More traditional dentures are removable for cleaning and rest only on the gums. However, at OKC Smiles, we also provide implant-supported dentures with prosthetic tooth roots and an even more secure, longer-lasting solution for missing teeth.
When you book an appointment at OKC Smiles, Dr. Murray will assess your mouth and talk to you about the best options. We want you to have a smile you love and that keeps you comfortable.
Dentures offer four primary benefits to you:
Improved Aesthetics | Missing teeth are not only noticeable when you smile, but the loss of a tooth or teeth weakens your jaw bone and can lead to a misshapen or irregular facial structure. Dentures help by making your smile look great not only when you share your smile, but when you are not smiling as well. Dentures do this by supporting cheeks and lips and mitigating the “collapsed” appearance that often results from missing teeth.
Better Chewing Ability | No surprise here… missing teeth can make it difficult to chew. Your OKC Smiles customized denture solution will give you back your ability to chew as if you had never lost any teeth. Don’t underestimate the importance of chewing. Food that has not been chewed properly can lead to digestion and overall health issues.
Higher Self-Esteem | Don’t let an imperfect smile prevent you from enjoying life to the fullest anymore! OKC Smiles denture solutions are so natural looking that practically no one will even know they’re not real. Work with us to create your dream smile with dentures so you can share your smile confidently with everyone.
Clearer Speech | You may have noticed that missing teeth can make forming certain words difficult. Properly created dentures will solve this issue and help you speak confidently again, without worrying about an unwanted lisp creeping into your sentences.
Partial Dentures: A Custom Solution for Gaps in Your Smile
If you’re missing one or several teeth but still have healthy teeth remaining, partial dentures may be the ideal option for you. Partial dentures are custom-made, removable dental appliances designed to fill the gaps left by missing teeth. They blend seamlessly with your natural teeth and are held securely in place with discreet clasps or precision attachments.
Partial dentures not only restore your smile’s appearance, but also help prevent your remaining teeth from shifting out of place. This helps maintain proper alignment and bite, making it easier to chew and speak comfortably. With partial dentures, you can enjoy a more complete, natural-looking smile while preserving your oral health.
Immediate Dentures: Smile Without Delay
For patients who need teeth extracted, immediate dentures offer a convenient solution. Immediate dentures are placed right after your teeth are removed, so you never have to go without teeth during the healing process. While your mouth heals and your gums settle, these temporary dentures help you maintain your appearance and function.
Once your gums have fully healed, your immediate dentures may need to be adjusted or relined for the best possible fit. Our team at OKC Smiles will guide you through every step, ensuring your comfort and satisfaction as you transition to your final denture solution.
Implant Supported Dentures: The Gold Standard in Teeth Replacement
As an alternative to conventional dentures, you may want to consider implant-supported dentures. This restorative dental procedure is a good long-term tooth replacement solution that can offer more stability than standard dentures.
With several dental implants used as anchors for the dentures, gum and jawbone health is preserved. You only need a few implants to support an entire row of teeth, so the process isn’t nearly as difficult as it may seem. Implant-supported dentures can also be removed for cleaning. This denture option allows for increased chewing support as well as more comfort while talking and eating.

Going to the dentist is something I take very serious, I've always believed your smile is everything, therefore, I'm quite picky with finding a dentist. My dentist of many years had retired and I had tried a couple that I simply wasn't happy with at all before I happened onto OKC Smiles, and I couldnt be happier! Both dr's are extremely knowledgeable and have great bedside manner..very down to earth! The staff is simply a class act no matter who you have the privilege of working on you!!

I am happy to have Dr. Murray as my dentist at OKC Smiles. I received excellent results from my crown procedure. Not only is Dr. Murray gentle, understanding, and caring, but he takes his time to listen to his patients. I highly recommend Dr. Murray at OKC Smiles. If you are looking for a dentist who is skilled and provides high-quality services, OKC Smiles is the clinic for you

Today,, I took my buddy Jake to OKC Smiles, and I have to say—I was genuinely impressed. Jake has been through a lot, and not everywhere treats him with the respect and kindness he deserves. But here, they truly saw him as a human being, with dignity and worth.
The staff showed compassion, patience, and professionalism from start to finish. They didn’t rush him, talk down to him, or act like he was a burden. Instead, they treated him like family. That kind of care is rare.
Honestly, I’m seriously considering switching to OKC Smiles myself. It’s not just about teeth—it’s about how you treat people. And these folks get it right.
Thank you for making today a great day.

I had some cosmetic dental work done with Dr. Phan and I could not be more pleased with the results. I spent years of my life feeling insecure about my teeth and uneven gum lines. My smile looks so much better now that my teeth appear whiter, longer, and even. Not to mention the fact that my gums are normal!! I can finally smile and laugh without feeling the need to cover my mouth. The staff at OKC Smiles are amazing. They have made me feel like more than just a number with the way they remember my name and are always so kind. Everyone from the dental assistants to the schedulers to the finance people are pleasant to be around. I normally do not leave reviews at places, but it would not feel right for me to not share my positive experiences with others after the way OKC Smiles went above and beyond to meet my needs.
