Comfortable, Natural Looking Dentures for a Confident Smile
Missing teeth can take a toll on one's confidence and quality of life, making it difficult to smile, eat, and speak with ease. Thankfully, modern dentistry has provided us with effective solutions to restore missing teeth, including dentures and SNAP-ON (implant retained) dentures. Dentures are a removable replacement for missing teeth that not only restore your smile but also enhance your oral health and function. Whether you need a complete set of dentures or just a partial one, you can rely on them to give you a natural-looking and comfortable fit. SNAP-ON (implant retained) dentures are another removable solution that can be attached to dental implants or remaining natural teeth, providing a secure and stable fit that feels and functions like natural teeth. Patients from Bingham Farms, Southfield, Metro Detroit, and across Macomb and Oakland Counties trust Smile Design Centre for dentures that feel stable and look like their own teeth.

Affordable, Custom Dentures
Explore the variety of denture types we offer to find the set that's right for you.
Modern dentures have come a long way. Current materials, precise impressions, and digital shade matching deliver results that look far more natural than the dentures of 20 years ago. At Smile Design Centre, every patient is walked through all available options — including implant-retained overdentures, which dramatically improve stability.
The biggest complaint about traditional dentures is slippage. Implant-retained dentures are often recommended when the budget allows — even two implants per arch can anchor a lower denture and eliminate that concern completely.

What Should I Expect When Being Fitted for Dentures?
In the event that you have damaged or decayed teeth that need to be extracted, our dentist will first perform the necessary extractions before taking a mold of your remaining gum structure and the roof of your mouth. This mold serves as a blueprint for the fabrication of your dentures, ensuring that they fit comfortably and securely.
Once the mold is taken, it will be sent to a dental laboratory where skilled technicians will create your customized dentures.
When the completed dentures are ready, you will return to our dental office in Bingham Farms for a final fitting. During this appointment, our dentist will check the fit and adjust the dentures if necessary to ensure that they are comfortable and secure. We will also provide instructions on how to properly care for your new dentures to ensure their longevity and performance.
It's important to keep in mind that adjusting to new dentures can take time and patience. You may experience some discomfort or soreness as your mouth adjusts to the dentures, but this is normal and should subside within a few weeks. As you become more accustomed to your dentures, you'll be able to enjoy the many benefits they offer, including improved chewing ability, clearer speech, and a restored sense of confidence. With proper care and maintenance, your dentures can provide you with a functional and natural-looking set of teeth for many years to come.
Is Dentures Right for You?
Dentures are a good fit if you are:
- Patients with multiple missing teeth (complete or partial dentures)
- Patients who aren't candidates for implants due to bone loss
- Patients looking for a non-surgical, affordable replacement option
- Patients interested in implant-retained dentures for better stability
This may not be the right option if:
- Patients with severe gag reflex (custom fit and design can help)
- Patients unwilling to remove and clean dentures daily
What to Expect During Your Dentures Visit
Here is exactly what happens at your appointment at Smile Design Centre. Knowing each step makes the experience far less intimidating — and lets you relax knowing what comes next.
- 1. Impressions and bite records.Dr. Sajid Baqai takes precise impressions of your gums and records your bite. You'll feel a soft impression material set in about a minute — not painful.
- 2. Try-in.A wax version of your dentures is tried in so you can see the shape, shade, and smile line. Changes are made before the final is fabricated — no surprises.
- 3. Final fit.The finished dentures are delivered and adjusted for comfort. You'll practice eating and speaking with them, and Dr. Sajid Baqai makes fine tweaks as needed.
- 4. Follow-up.A few days later, you return for sore-spot adjustments. Most patients fully adapt within 2–4 weeks.
Traditional vs Implant-Retained Dentures
Here is how Dentures compares to the main alternatives. Dr. Sajid Baqai reviews all options with every patient at Smile Design Centre so you make the best-informed decision for your situation.
| Feature | Traditional Dentures | Implant-Retained |
|---|---|---|
| Stability while eating | Moderate (uses adhesive) | Very high (snaps onto implants) |
| Bone preservation | No — bone continues to resorb | Yes — implants stimulate bone |
| Chewing strength | 20–30% of natural teeth | Up to 70% of natural teeth |
| Speech changes | Common early on | Minimal |
| Removable at night | Yes | Yes (snaps off for cleaning) |
| Upfront cost | Lower | Higher |
Common Concerns About Dentures
These are the questions patients at Smile Design Centre ask most often before committing to treatment. Dr. Sajid Baqai addresses each one honestly at your consultation.
"Dentures will look fake"
Modern dentures use high-quality acrylic and custom shade matching. Done by an experienced dentist, they look natural — and we refine the shape and shade at try-in before finalizing.
"Dentures will slip when I eat or talk"
Slippage is the biggest complaint about traditional dentures. If it's a major concern, implant-retained dentures (anchored to two or more implants) eliminate the problem entirely and dramatically improve chewing strength.
"Dentures are just for older patients"
Denture candidates span all ages — anyone with significant tooth loss due to decay, gum disease, trauma, or medical conditions may benefit. Age has nothing to do with it.
Risks and Considerations of Dentures
Every procedure has tradeoffs, and transparent conversation about them is part of informed consent. Dr. Sajid Baqai reviews these at your consultation and answers every question before treatment begins.
- Adjustment period can take weeks — sore spots are normal early on
- Long-term bone resorption leads to changes in fit
- Slippage or loose fit is common with traditional dentures
- Relines or replacements needed over time
