You don’t have to cross any rivers or fight downtown traffic to get a beautiful, confident smile. Our office is right here on Savannah Highway in West Ashley, making it easy for folks from James Island, Johns Island, and West Ashley to get expert denture care close to home. We handle everything from your first consultation to custom fittings and quick adjustments right here, saving you time and mileage.

We get asked this all the time! There is nothing worse than worrying about your teeth at a backyard oyster roast or family fish fry. When custom dentures are crafted to fit the exact contours of your mouth, they create a natural suction that keeps them secure. While there’s a short adjustment period for tougher foods like local BBQ or corn on the cob, a well-fitted denture or an implant-supported option will let you dive into a Lowcountry boil with complete confidence.

We believe in clear pricing without the dental jargon or hidden fees. The cost of dentures in Charleston depends on whether you need a full set, partials, or if you’re looking into implant-stabilized options. Because everyone’s budget is different, we work with a wide variety of insurance plans and offer flexible, low-monthly-payment financing options. We’ll map out the exact costs for you before we ever begin treatment.

Nobody wants a “cookie-cutter” smile that looks obviously artificial. Dr. Faber custom-designs every set of dentures to match the natural shape of your face, your skin tone, and even the way you naturally smile. We use advanced materials that mimic the subtle translucency of real teeth and natural gum shading, so the only thing people notice is how happy you look.

You shouldn’t have to live with sore spots or a clicking denture. Over time, your jawbone naturally changes shape, causing once-perfect dentures to slip. If your dentures are still in good condition, we can often perform a “reline” right here in our Savannah Hwy office to restore that snug, comfortable fit. If they are older than 5 to 7 years or heavily worn, we’ll talk you through the most affordable options to replace them so you can live pain-free again.

Think of traditional dentures as resting gently on top of your gums—they’re a great, time-tested option but rely on natural suction or adhesive. Implant-supported dentures (often called “snap-in” or fixed teeth) are locked securely into place by a few dental implants. They function exactly like natural teeth, meaning they won’t slip when you talk, they keep your jawbone healthy, and you never have to take them out at night.

We always prefer to save healthy natural teeth whenever possible! If you only have a few missing teeth, a custom partial denture is the perfect solution. It gently clips onto your remaining teeth to fill the gaps seamlessly. If your remaining teeth are failing due to decay or periodontal disease, we’ll discuss a comfortable plan for transitioning to a full denture, keeping your comfort as our top priority.

It’s completely normal to feel a little awkward or notice a slight lisp during the first couple of weeks. Your tongue and cheeks are learning how to work with your new teeth! The trick is practicing at home—reading the Post and Courier out loud or singing along to the radio in the car are great ways to speed up the process. Within a few weeks, your mouth adapts, the lisp disappears, and you’ll be chatting naturally.

Your comfort is our absolute priority, and we make sure you don’t feel a thing during the actual procedure. If you need teeth extracted before getting your dentures, we use gentle numbing techniques and offer sedation options to keep you completely relaxed. Afterward, you’ll experience some mild soreness as your gums heal, but we provide detailed instructions and post-care support to make your recovery as smooth and comfortable as possible.

We strongly recommend giving your mouth a rest at night. Think of it like wearing a tight pair of shoes—your feet need a break at the end of the day, and so do your gums! Taking your dentures out for 6 to 8 hours while you sleep allows your gum tissue to “breath,” preventing swelling, irritation, and fungal infections. Just place them in a glass of cool water or a gentle denture cleanser overnight, and they’ll be fresh and ready for you in the morning.
