Dentures That Actually Fit — So You Can Live Your Life Normally
When you’re missing multiple teeth — or all of them — dentures can restore your ability to eat, speak, and feel like yourself again. The difference comes down to how they’re made.
A poor-fitting denture doesn’t just feel uncomfortable — it affects how you eat, how you talk, and how confident you feel day to day. Dr. Cocozzo works with a trusted local dental lab she’s partnered with for over 30 years. The focus is on precision, quality materials, and a fit that feels secure and natural — not rushed, and not “good enough.”
We offer full dentures for people missing all teeth on the upper or lower arch, and partial dentures when some natural teeth remain.
If you’re considering a more permanent option, implant-supported dentures are anchored in place and don’t come in and out.

What is the difference between full and partial dentures?
Full dentures replace all teeth on the upper or lower arch and rest on the gums.
Partial dentures replace several missing teeth and attach to the remaining natural teeth for support. The right option depends on how many teeth remain and their condition. Dr. Cocozzo will walk you through what makes the most sense for your situation.
How long does getting dentures take?
The process typically takes place over several appointments across a few weeks. Dr. Cocozzo takes detailed impressions and works closely with the lab to create dentures that are custom-fitted to your mouth. After placement, a few adjustments are normal — getting the fit just right takes a little fine-tuning.
Are dentures covered by insurance?
Many dental insurance plans cover dentures, at least partially. We are an unrestricted dentist in regards to dental benefit plans, so we submit claims on your behalf. Tina will review your coverage with you ahead of time so you know what to expect.
What’s the difference between dentures and implant-supported dentures?
Traditional dentures rest on the gums and can shift with eating and everyday use.
Implant-supported dentures are anchored to implants in the jaw, providing a more secure, stable fit that doesn’t move. They do involve a surgical component, typically handled by a specialist. For patients who are good candidates, the difference in comfort and confidence can be significant.
