Skip to content Losing teeth doesn’t have to mean losing confidence, and it doesn’t have to mean settling for a solution that doesn’t fit your life. At Harris Dental, Phoenix-area patients have trusted our family of dentists for over 40 years to restore full, natural-looking smiles. From traditional removable dentures to permanent implant-supported dentures and same-day All-on-4 denture implants, we offer the full range of options. Unlike many practices, we handle both the surgical placement and final restoration right here in our Phoenix office. One team, one location, start to finish.
Whether you’re exploring your options for the first time or ready to move forward with implants, we’ll walk you through everything at your consultation and make sure you leave with a clear picture of what’s possible for your smile.
Dentures are a wonderful way to get your smile back. We know you have unique needs, so we offer a few different denture options, including:
Traditional dentures are a proven way to restore your smile and get back to eating, speaking, and living comfortably. Custom-fitted to your gums, they bring back both your appearance and your function. We craft high-quality dentures designed to look natural and stay in place, and we schedule follow-up visits to make sure the fit stays right as your mouth changes over time.
At Harris Dental, getting the fit right is where we put our energy. Dentures that don't fit well cause more than discomfort. They affect how you eat, how you speak, and how often you actually wear them. We take detailed impressions and work closely with our dental lab to make sure what comes back fits the way it should from the start. New dentures take some getting used to, and our team stays with you through that process. Follow-up visits are built into your care, and if something feels off, we want to know. We don't consider the job done until you're confident and comfortable.
Implant-supported dentures are anchored directly to your jaw using dental implants, giving you a level of stability that traditional dentures simply can’t match. There’s no adhesive, no slipping, no clicking. Because the implants function like tooth roots, your dentures stay secure whether you’re eating, laughing, or talking.
Our implant dentistry team handles the full process in-house, placement and restoration, so your fit, function, and aesthetics are all designed together from the start. For Phoenix patients who want the look and feel of natural teeth without the maintenance concerns that come with removable dentures, implant dentures are often the most satisfying long-term solution. Fewer adjustment visits, more confidence day to day.
All-on-4 is a full-arch restoration built on four strategically angled implants. For many patients, placement and teeth are completed in a single day. No multi-year timeline, no waiting.
At Harris Dental, All-on-4 procedures are performed by Dr. Scott Harris, who received the Arthur A. Dugoni Award for Excellence in Implant Dentistry. We both place and restore implants in-house, so your entire treatment is coordinated by one team from consultation through final placement. No handoffs, no running between offices.
All-on-4 implants are fixed in place, function like natural teeth, and help preserve the jawbone that removable dentures can't. You brush them like normal teeth and don't remove them at night. Because All-on-4 is specifically designed to work in patients with reduced bone density, it's a viable option for many people who've been told elsewhere that implants aren't possible for them. If that's you, it's worth a conversation before writing it off.
Many Phoenix patients who come to us asking about dentures leave the conversation talking about All-on-4. Here’s why.
Where traditional dentures rest on your gums and rely on adhesives to stay put, All-on-4 implant dentures are anchored in the jaw. Four implants are positioned at strategic angles, two straight in the front and two angled toward the back, to maximize contact with available bone. That means a stronger foundation, better chewing force, and none of the slipping or clicking that traditional denture wearers deal with daily. Because they function like natural teeth, most patients stop thinking about their teeth altogether, which is exactly the point. And because the implants fuse with the jawbone, they preserve the bone structure that gives your face its shape, something removable dentures can’t do.
All-on-4 is a strong option for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth, are wearing traditional dentures and want a permanent alternative, or have failing teeth that need full extraction. Because of the angled implant design, many patients who don’t qualify for conventional implants are still good candidates, including those with reduced bone density who’ve been told elsewhere that implants aren’t possible for them. The best way to find out is a consultation with our team, where we’ll review your bone structure, health history, and goals and give you a straight answer.

I came in for a dental implant consultation and was very impressed. The doctor was knowledgeable, professional, and took the time to explain everything clearly. The front office staff and dental assistant were warm, friendly, and made the entire experience pleasant. I’ll definitely be returning in the future.
In most cases, yes. Implant-supported dentures offer better stability, stronger bite force, and eliminate the daily inconvenience of adhesives and removal. They also help preserve jawbone over time, which removable dentures don’t do. Cost and the surgical component are factors some patients weigh differently, which is why we go over all of it at your consultation.
All-on-4 uses four dental implants placed at precise angles in your jaw to support a full arch of teeth. The angled placement maximizes use of existing bone, which is why many patients who don’t qualify for traditional implants are still good candidates for All-on-4. In most cases, a temporary set of teeth is placed the same day as surgery, which is why it’s also called “teeth in a day.”
Patients with significant tooth loss, failing teeth, or full edentulism are often the best candidates. All-on-4 is specifically designed to work in patients with reduced bone density, making it a viable option for people who’ve been told implants aren’t possible for them elsewhere. A consultation with Dr. Scott Harris will give you a clear answer based on your specific bone structure and health history.
Traditional dentures rest on your gums and are removable. All-on-4 implants are fixed permanently in your jaw. They don’t slip, don’t require adhesive, and function much more like natural teeth. They also stimulate the jawbone, helping prevent the bone loss and facial changes that often accompany long-term denture use.
With proper care, All-on-4 implants can last decades. Many patients go 15 to 20 years or longer before any component needs attention. The implants themselves are typically permanent fixtures in the jaw, and the prosthetic arch is designed to hold up to everyday use for years.
Yes. After the initial healing period, most patients can eat a wide variety of foods. All-on-4 provides substantially more chewing force than removable dentures, and there are no restrictions on most everyday foods once healing is complete.
Costs vary depending on the type of denture and your specific treatment needs. Traditional dentures are generally the most affordable option. All-on-4 is a larger investment but includes the implants, the arch, and often fewer long-term adjustment costs than removable dentures. We’ll go over pricing and any financing options in detail at your consultation.
You’ll meet with one of our doctors to discuss your current situation, review your options, and get a clear picture of what treatment would look like. We’ll take any necessary imaging and give you an honest recommendation based on your health, goals, and budget. We don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach.
