Pearland’s Choice for Dentures
Our dentist in Pearland, TX, doesn’t rely on an outside lab for denture fabrication. Instead, we create dentures in our on-site lab where we have full control over their fit, function, and appearance. Your dentures will be made for you by people who are familiar with your case.
We stand behind our work and offer a six-year warranty on everything we do. This warranty is transferable to practices across the country, so you’re covered even if you move to a new provider. This level of assurance can be hard to find.
If you choose to receive dental implants, there’s no need to feel anxious about your surgery. Dr. Michael Maher is one of the few general dentists in the area who is trained to administer IV sedation and can work alongside a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist to monitor you throughout treatment.
“It was one of the easiest processes.”
Once her children moved out, Mary decided it was time to invest in her smile. She decided on implants and an implant-supported denture for her upper arch. She loves her new smile and appreciates how we made the process easy.
“When people say, ‘Your teeth are so perfect!’ I have to admit I bought them. I’d recommend Dr. Maher to anybody.”
Comparing Your Options
A traditional denture is a removable prosthetic that rests on your gums to replace up to an entire arch of missing teeth. They’re held in place by suction or adhesives.
Traditional dentures are best for patients who are not surgical candidates or have limited budgets, as they have the lowest upfront cost.
This removable denture attaches to 2–4 implants via locator attachments or a bar, so it can "snap" in and out. The implants anchor the denture so it doesn't slip, but it must be removed nightly for cleaning.
This is a good middle-ground option for patients looking for a more stable and comfortable option than traditional dentures and a lower cost than fixed implants.
This prosthetic is a full arch of teeth permanently fixed to 4–6 dental implants. Eating, speaking, smiling, and overall function feel the most natural with this prosthetic.
This option has the highest upfront cost, but the lowest maintenance long-term and the best functional and aesthetic outcome, making it ideal for patients who want a permanent, natural-feeling solution.
| Feature | Traditional Dentures | Snap-In Dentures | Fixed Full-Arch Implants |

| Gum Irritation | Common | Occasional | Rare |
| Bone Loss Prevention | No | Yes | Yes |
| Removability | Must be removed nightly | Snaps in and out as needed | Fixed; only removed during professional cleanings |
| Bite Force Restored | 25% | 60% | 90% |
| Foods Patients Can Comfortably Eat | Soft foods: eggs, soups, pasta, soft bread | Most foods: chicken, cooked vegetables, firmer breads | Nearly all foods: apples, steak, corn on the cob & other favorites |

Implants Are a Wise Investment
in Your Smile
While implant-supported dentures may initially seem more expensive than traditional dentures, they’re a wise investment that offers benefits that other options don’t. They also have fewer long-term maintenance costs. Our patients in Pearland and Friendswood who choose implant dentures can benefit from:
A More Natural Feel
Implant-supported dentures offer wearers a more natural feel, as they’re firmly held in place by implants. There’s no risk of shifting, and no need to sink costs into denture adhesives like traditional denture wearers.
Jawbone Protection
Your tooth roots stimulate your jawbone to keep it healthy and strong, so with tooth loss comes jawbone loss. Dental implants take the place of tooth roots, stimulating your jaw and preventing an aged, sunken appearance that could require costly bone grafting if you want to fix it later on.
Long-Term Solution
With proper care, your implant-supported denture can last 10–20 years or longer, and your implants can last for the rest of your life. On the other hand, traditional dentures typically last just 5–10 years before needing to be replaced. You’d also have to pay for new dentures more often, in addition to relines as your jawbone changes.
Paying for Your Dentures
We’re not in network with any insurance providers, but we can work with your PPO plan to help you maximize out-of-network benefits. We’ll even file your claims on your behalf and provide a detailed breakdown of your coverage. Insurance won’t contribute to the cost of dental implants, but it may help cover a portion of your denture and any preparatory procedures you need.
To help make your out-of-pocket costs more manageable for our Friendswood and Pearland patients, we accept financing through CareCredit® and Cherry. These third-party lenders allow patients who qualify to pay for their care in affordable monthly installments. Plans involve no or low interest.
