Restore Your Smile With Our Custom Dentures
At Bethany Family Dental, we aim to help our patients get their smiles back by providing custom-made dentures. These are removable dental devices that can replace your missing teeth and surrounding tissues.
Our dentures are designed to mimic natural teeth closely and can also improve your smile and restore confidence. We offer two main types of dentures: complete and partial. We suggest complete dentures to those who have lost all their teeth, whereas partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. Our partial denture fills gaps caused by missing teeth and also helps prevent surrounding teeth from shifting.
We offer complete dentures that can be either "conventional" or "immediate." A conventional denture is created after we have extracted teeth and the gum tissue has healed, typically taking 4 to 6 weeks. During this period, our patient will be without teeth. On the other hand, we prepare immediate dentures in advance and fit them immediately after tooth removal, so you do not have to go without teeth during healing. As the tissues shrink and heal, our adjustments will be necessary.
Our custom-fit denture is a highly durable appliance that can last for many years. However, due to normal wear, it may require remaking, repair, or readjustment over time.
Reasons for dentures:
Complete Denture – Complete loss of all teeth in the arch
Partial Denture – Loss of multiple teeth in an arch
Enhanced smile and facial tissues
Improved chewing, speech, and digestion
What Does Getting Dentures Involve?
Our procedure for getting dental dentures in Portland involves multiple appointments over several weeks. We take precise impressions and measurements to craft your custom-fit denture. You may need several "try-in" sessions to confirm the shape, color, and fit. At the final visit, our dentist will carefully adjust and fit the finished denture for a natural, comfortable result.
It's common to notice increased saliva, soreness, and some difficulty with speech and chewing initially. These effects will diminish as your muscles and tissues adjust to the dentures. We will offer care instructions for your new dentures. To make them last long, you need to maintain proper cleaning, good oral hygiene, and regular dental checkups at our denture clinic.
We prioritize patient comfort and long-lasting results. Whether you need a complete or partial denture, we offer personalized care to ensure a natural look and feel. Book an appointment with us today if you are considering dentures in Portland. Take the next step with us so you can smile and eat with confidence again.

Testimonials
Crown and filling experience went better than I expected. It's normally a painful process for me. Staff is always friendly and easy to deal with. We appreciate that they offer us different options since we don't have dental insurance.
Ilus Ka
Everyone is so nice and friendly. If you’re looking for a new dentist and team, I highly recommend Bethany Dental. I’ve gone in a few times for anual cleanings and some cavity fillings and I’ve left satisfied every time.
Marlyne Rodriguez
The staff was very friendly. Dr. Austria was very friendly and asked me lots of questions and listened to me. He made my appointment easy and stress free. I would recommend going to this office for your dental care.
Marcia Reyes
I just spent a very relaxing (really!) 2.75 hours being prepped for a new crown and having 3 fillings put in. Honestly, except for a slight prick of the numbing needle, the whole procedure was painless. Dr.Austria and his staff were friendly, the atmosphere was calming, and I knew I was in good hands.
Caroline Arnold
They were super friendly and considerate to any pain I was having. The Dr. asked often if I was in any pain, and I didn't even feel the shot like I usually do at my other dentist. They do everything they can to make you comfortable. I definitely recommend going here.
Jordan Harris
I'm in the process of getting a post and crown. Right now I'm healing from my bone graft and every person at this practice continually goes out of their way to make sure I heal well and every thing goes as planned. There was a problem with my bone graft initially and Dr. Austria continues to spend extra time on my mouth to help me keep on healing, at no extra expense to me.
Heather Stevens
Dr. Austria is one of the kindest, most capable, and awesome dentists I’ve ever had. I have a moderate level of anxiety around any dental work that requires local anesthesia, and Dr. Austria did everything he could to put me at ease when I unexpectedly needed numbing. The dental assistants are awesome too, non-judgmental and sweet and supportive. I’m so glad we found Bethany Family Dental.
