Dental Implants in Goodyear, AZ
Eat Comfortably, Speak Clearly, and Smile Like Yourself Again.
Missing teeth start making decisions for you: what you order, which side you chew on, and how wide you laugh. Dentures at Francis Dental in Goodyear are custom-made to replace a few teeth or a full arch, as part of our restorative dentistry care. Dr. Tyler Francis helps you choose the option that fits your mouth and your daily life.
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are custom-made replacement teeth set in a gum-colored base that restore chewing, speech, and the shape of your smile after tooth loss. They’re made from acrylic, often with a metal framework, and fitted to your gums and bite. Partial dentures replace several missing teeth and clip onto the healthy teeth you still have. Full dentures replace every tooth in the upper or lower arch. Implant-supported dentures attach to dental implants, so they stay put when you eat and talk.
People usually start looking into replacement teeth when several are missing, when the teeth they have keep breaking or getting infected, or when chewing firm food gets hard. Others already wear an older set that has loosened, causes sore spots, needs adhesive to stay in, or moves when they speak.
Replacing missing teeth isn’t only about completing your smile. It’s about choosing how you want to eat, speak, and get through everyday life.
Which Option
Fits Your Tooth Loss?
Replace the missing teeth without giving up the healthy ones
A partial fills the gaps around teeth that still work, balances your chewing, and comes out easily for cleaning.
End the cycle of fixing one failing tooth at a time
A full set replaces an entire arch when the remaining teeth can’t be kept, and Dr. Francis plans what you’ll wear while your gums heal.
Stop worrying whether your teeth will stay where they belong
An implant-supported set snaps onto implants, so it doesn’t slip during meals or conversation, and it still comes out for daily cleaning.
What Brings Patients In
A patient from Goodyear, AZ came in after years of patching upper teeth that kept cracking and getting infected. He had stopped eating corn on the cob at family barbecues and covered his mouth when he laughed. Dr. Francis removed the failing teeth, gave him a temporary set to wear while his gums healed, and fine-tuned his custom full set over follow-up visits. Now he chews without planning around a sore tooth, speaks clearly, and laughs without hiding his smile.

The Benefits of Custom
Replacement Teeth
Restored Chewing and Speech
Replacing missing teeth lets you chew on both sides and speak without your words catching on a gap.
A Natural-Looking Smile
Each set is shaped and shaded to suit your face, so your new teeth don't look oversized or artificial.
An Affordable Way to Replace Teeth
A removable set is one of the most affordable ways to replace several or all of your teeth, and most PPO plans cover part of the cost.
How Long Does It Take to Get
Used to New Dentures?
Most patients adjust to new dentures within a few weeks to a month. Speaking and chewing feel unusual at first, and small sore spots are normal while your gums get used to the fit. Dr. Francis adjusts the fit at follow-up visits, so sore spots don’t become something you live with.
The Dentures
Treatment Process
Exam and Planning
Dr. Francis examines your teeth and gums with digital x-rays, explains which option fits your case, and maps out each stage.
Removing Failing Teeth, If Needed
Any teeth that can’t be kept are removed with the area fully numbed. Sedation options are available if you’re anxious.
Custom Fitting and Adjustments
Your new teeth are made to match your bite, shade, and face. Dr. Francis places them, checks how they feel when you chew and speak, and fine-tunes the fit over follow-up visits.
FAQs
Frequently
Asked Questions
Most patients adjust within a few weeks to a month. Chewing and speaking feel different at first, and minor sore spots are common early on. Follow-up visits let Dr. Francis adjust the fit so they settle quickly.
Not always. A custom set fitted closely to your gums often holds well on its own. Implant-supported options attach to implants and don't rely on adhesive at all.
They're anchored to implants, which keeps them from slipping, but most still come out for cleaning. You'll clean them daily and keep regular checkups to protect the implants and gums underneath.
Most sets last 5 to 10 years. Your gums change shape over time, so a set may need relining to tighten the fit before it needs replacing.
Most PPO plans cover part of the cost of replacing missing teeth. Francis Dental accepts most major PPO plans and offers in-office financing. Without insurance, the in-house membership plan includes discounts on additional treatments, with no deductibles or yearly maximums.
