What To Expect: The Denture Process
Consultation
Your journey to a confident smile begins with a one-on-one consultation at Hartman Dentistry in Newport News, VA. During this visit, Dr. Hartman will listen to your goals, evaluate your oral health, and discuss the best denture options for your needs. Whether you’re exploring full, partial, or implant-supported dentures, this is your time to ask questions and understand every step of the process.
Treatment Planning & Preparation
After your consultation, Dr. Hartman will create a personalized treatment plan designed to achieve a natural-looking and comfortable fit. Impressions and digital scans are taken to ensure precision, and you’ll be guided through selecting the right materials and shade for your dentures. Every detail is carefully planned so your new smile complements your facial features and feels completely natural.
Try-In & Adjustments
Before your final dentures are made, you’ll have a try-in appointment where a wax model of your dentures is placed to check comfort, fit, and appearance. This step allows you to see how your new smile will look and make any adjustments needed for the perfect fit. Dr. Hartman ensures you’re completely satisfied before moving forward with your final set.
Denture Placement
Once your custom dentures are ready, they’ll be carefully fitted and adjusted to ensure comfort and function. Dr. Hartman will check your bite, speech, and overall feel, making small refinements as needed. You’ll leave the office with a new smile that not only looks great but also feels secure and natural.
Healing & Aftercare
Adapting to new dentures takes time, but with the right guidance, the process is smooth and comfortable. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions to help you adjust quickly, including cleaning tips and follow-up visits for fine-tuning your fit. With proper care and regular checkups, your dentures will continue to perform beautifully for years to come.

Denture Services at Hartman Dentistry
Complete Dentures
Complete dentures are ideal for patients who have lost all their natural teeth in either the upper or lower jaw. These full-arch restorations are crafted to look natural and restore essential functions such as chewing, speaking, and smiling with confidence. At Hartman Dentistry, we offer a variety of complete denture solutions designed for both comfort and durability. Each denture is custom-made to fit securely and enhance your facial appearance, helping you enjoy life with a beautiful and functional smile.
Same-Day Denture Services
For patients who need a fast and convenient solution, Hartman Dentistry offers same-day dentures. With this service, you can walk out of your appointment with a full set of dentures the very same day. After your initial consultation, Dr. Hartman or Dr. Sibirtsev will take impressions and prepare your dentures in advance. Once any necessary extractions are complete, your new dentures are fitted immediately, allowing you to leave the office with a fully restored smile. To ensure same-day availability, we recommend scheduling your appointment in advance.
Partial Dentures: A Natural Way to Fill the Gaps
Partial dentures are designed for patients who are missing some, but not all, of their natural teeth. These dentures fill in the gaps to restore balance to your bite, improve chewing function, and prevent nearby teeth from shifting. At Hartman Dentistry, we offer several types of partial dentures, including traditional styles with metal clasps, flexible materials for added comfort, and precision attachments for a more discreet appearance. Each option is tailored to your needs and crafted for a secure, natural-looking fit.
Relines and Repairs for Long-Lasting Comfort
As time passes, your gums and bone structure can change, which may cause dentures to feel loose or uncomfortable. To maintain a great fit, we offer quick and reliable denture relines and repairs right in our on-site lab. A soft reline adds cushioning for sensitive gums, while a hard reline tightens the fit for long-term stability. If your dentures crack or break, our team can often complete repairs within the same day, so you can get back to smiling without delay.
Implant-Supported Dentures in Newport News, VA
Implant-supported dentures offer a secure and durable alternative to traditional removable dentures. These dentures are anchored by dental implants placed in the jawbone, which provides exceptional stability and prevents slipping while eating or speaking. They also help preserve bone health and maintain facial structure. At Hartman Dentistry, Dr. Hartman and Dr. Sibirtsev use advanced techniques to design implant-supported dentures that look and feel like natural teeth, giving patients a strong, confident, and lasting smile.
Denture Maintenance and Care
Caring for your dentures properly is essential for maintaining their appearance and longevity. Our team provides personalized guidance on how to clean, store, and handle your dentures to prevent damage and ensure long-term comfort. We recommend gentle daily cleaning with a soft brush and denture cleanser to remove food particles and bacteria, helping you maintain a fresh and healthy smile.
Regular checkups at Hartman Dentistry allow us to monitor your oral health and the condition of your dentures. Over time, small adjustments may be needed to keep them fitting perfectly. By following our care recommendations and scheduling routine visits, you can extend the life of your dentures and enjoy lasting comfort and confidence every day.
