Contact UsWhat Are Dentures?
Personalized dentures are an efficient approach to replacing lost teeth. These prosthetic pieces make it easier to talk, eat, and smile with confidence after tooth loss. Pipe Creek Dental Center designs full and partial detachable and implant-held dentures for our patients in Pipe Creek, TX. Full-arch dentures replace each of the teeth in the upper arch, bottom arch, or both; partial dentures can be used when a number of teeth are still intact. At Pipe Creek Dental Center, Dr. Carolyn Walker can help you decide whether detachable or implant-held dentures will solve your problems, and we then have them carefully made to produce a natural look and fit. Arrange your evaluation with our team to find out more.
What Are the Benefits of Dentures?
Dentures offer a range of benefits for individuals dealing with tooth loss, providing an effective solution to restore functionality and aesthetics to their smiles. In Pipe Creek, TX, residents can also access these advantages to enhance their oral health and overall well-being. Some key benefits of dentures include:
- Improved chewing ability
- Enhanced speech for clear communication
- Restored facial support and oral health
- Affordable and customizable solution
- Easy to clean and maintain
What Is the Denture Process?
Our staff will begin by getting 3D or molded impressions of your upper and lower arches. These impressions will then be forwarded to a special dental lab, which will create your unique dentures. Single-arch and bridge dentures are made from a light resin, which could be supported by a titanium inner structure. When made from such high-quality materials, dentures should mimic the look of your real teeth and gumline. Once your custom dentures arrive at Pipe Creek Dental Center, we will have you come back for a fitting. We will adjust your restorations so they are comfortable or fasten them to previously placed titanium implants. Dr. Walker will also educate you on taking care of your new dentures.
It may take a few weeks before you can chew or speak like normal, but these things get easier with time. If your dentures are too loose, call Pipe Creek Dental Center so we can arrange a refit. You can take care of your dentures by brushing them with a soft brush following every meal and keeping them in water at night to prevent them from drying out. We advise you to return to our practice for routine checkups so we can check the state of your dentures and overall oral health.
Pipe Creek Dental Center Reviews
I cannot say enough nice things about this practice. They are responsive, knowledgeable, and most of all, KIND. I used to be afraid of and avoided the dentist, resulting in me needing some extensive work done. They were not judgmental, and just set about getting me fixed up. Both dentists are awesome (hope I never get asked to pick a favorite!), Kaylee is so gentle yet thorough with her cleaning, and Tori is a ray of sunshine every time I’m there. Elise was with me for my afternoon-long procedure and she made it more bearable with her kindness and attention. Save yourself a drive to a big-city dentist and get to know this local gem of a practice!
Very pleased with my first visit, everyone was so friendly and accommodating.
My visits to Pipe Creek Dental Center have always been welcoming, friendly, and professional. Tori always greets me with a pleasant smile and we talk about my flock of chickens until Kaylee calls me back for my cleaning. While Kaylee performs my cleaning, she clearly communicates with me her process to get my pearly whites looking great. Afterwards, she offers helpful tips and patiently answers all of my questions before heading back to the lobby to wrap up my visit with Tori. I cannot recommend Pipe Creek Dental Center enough. From the front desk, the hygienist, and dentists, it's always a wonderful experience!
I have suffered with dental issues for a good portion of my adult life. I've been to many dentist in my lifetime. I've been to ones that are nothing more than insurance and Medicaid mills that are scamming as much money as they can. And I've been to ones that do work that does not last. And then I found pipe Creek dental! Dr Williamson is the absolute best! Her expertise along with her bedside manner is top notch. She listens and talks with you like you're a person and not just another number in the bank account. And then to top it off her staff, like Tori, are absolutely amazing! They communicate with you and will even send you text reminding you that you have your appointment. Which I found very helpful on days that I was forgetting that I had an appointment. I cannot recommend this dental office enough. Thank you to everybody at Pipe Creek dental for the most amazing dental experience I've ever had. Nothing but love for these amazing people!
This place has been amazing!! They take great care of their patients. The staff and Dr are so friendly!! Very very grateful for such a wonderful dentist so close to home. Highly recommend checking this place out next time you need a dentist.

Dentures FAQs
How long should I wear my dentures each day?
Our Pipe Creek, TX patients who receive dentures for the first time often have many questions about their use and usability. For our first-time denture wearers, we recommend leaving your new dentures in for at least 24 hours, even through the night, especially immediately following your extractions. Your dentures will act as a protection for your gums as they heal and allow you to functionally eat and speak normally throughout the process.
How long will it take to get used to my dentures?
We understand that dentures are a hugely personal choice that impacts many different areas of your day-to-day life. Concern about feeling "normal" is valid! Rest assured that while immediately following your denture installment, your body will be aware of a new, foreign-feeling object, but that your body will adjust over time. We encourage our patients to give their dentures 4-6 weeks, on average, to adjust to the look and feel.
What can I eat with my new dentures?
At Pipe Creek Dental Center, many of our patients ask about what they can (and cannot) eat with their dentures. For the majority of patients, you should be able to eat almost anything you like after your gums are healed from the initial installment. For your overall gum health and the longevity of your dentures, we recommend avoiding foods like chewing gum, popcorn, sticky candy, or anything that is too strenuous for your dentures.
