What Are Dentures?
Dentures are a reliable way to replace lost teeth and restore your natural smile. With partial dentures and full dentures available at 5 Star Dental Group, we have a solution to meet different dental needs. Full dentures replace an entire arch of teeth, whether the upper arch, lower arch, or both. In contrast, partial dentures are ideal when some teeth are still intact, filling the gaps where teeth are missing and helping to balance out your bite. Dentures are crafted from materials that mimic the look of real teeth and gums, giving a natural and appealing appearance. To find out if either solution agrees with your needs and budget, schedule a consultation at our San Antonio, TX practice to learn more about getting a personalized fit for dentures.
What Is the Denture Process?
The denture process starts with an appointment to assess your needs and decide on the right type of dentures for you. Once a choice is made between partial dentures, full dentures, or implant-supported dentures, an impression of your mouth is taken. These impressions are essential for crafting dentures that fit comfortably and work well for speaking, chewing, and smiling confidently. The impressions are sent to our specialized dental lab where the dentures are custom-made to align with the shape of your mouth and mimic natural teeth. When the dentures are ready, you'll return to our office for a fitting. Adjustments ensure the dentures feel secure and look natural. For implant-supported dentures, a procedure to place titanium posts into the jaw may be necessary. These posts act as anchors, giving the dentures a strong foundation similar to that of real teeth. Cleaning dentures is simple and crucial to their longevity. Rinsing dentures after eating removes food particles, and brushing them daily with a soft denture brush and mild cleanser helps prevent staining and keeps the dentures in top condition.

5 Star Dental Group Reviews
Great people! Great Service!
The best! 100% recommend
Always the best professional care!
I had a fantastic experience at 5 Star Dental! The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Dental hygienist Vickie was thorough and gentle, making the cleaning process a breeze. Dr. Karina Acuna provided exceptional care, taking the time to explain everything and making sure I was comfortable throughout. I highly recommend this clinic for anyone looking for top-notch dental care. Thank you, 5 Star Dental team!
The name of this dental practice is no accident. They are FIVE STARS!!! My story is a long one, but the short version is that following a very recent move from East Texas to San Antonio, I broke a chunk off of my all-on-four on a Sunday afternoon, creating an extremely sharp edge. (This isn't the first time this happened with this appliance, and my former dentist was just as frustrated as I at the situation.) After an anxious conversation with my previous dentist, my husband and I decided that perhaps the "big city" might provide us with more options for care. We found 5 Star Dental Group online and requested an appointment via the link on the page. I briefly described the situation, and hoped for a return call at some point. I got that call about 8:15 Monday morning, (Excellent response time!) and was scheduled for an appointment at 11:30 the same day. (Excellent attention to a very painful emergency problem.) We arrived to find a spotlessly clean, modern, friendly, and very professional office. The front office staff are sweet, and cheerful, yet professional and VERY competent. We were also able to complete all the required forms at home, and bring them with us, saving time at the office. I was in the dental chair almost immediately, and Dr. Tostado and his dental assistant had my broken all-on-four sanded down to a comfortable level within minutes. He determined that the previous lab used an acrylic for my permanent all-on-four, adding that this material is typically use for a temporary. (No wonder it kept breaking every six months!) We discussed what could be done going forward. After x-rays, he developed a treatment plan which will require a complete replacement of my all-on-four. (Interestingly, the x-rays revealed that the positioning and angle on one of my implants, coupled with the length of the all-on-four on that side, and the materials used to manufacture it create a perfect failure storm.) Dr. Tostado identified the problems, and offered at least two options for a solution.Heretofore, my life has been a constant merry-go-round of breakage and replacement every six months. I feel blessed to be in Dr. Tostado's care and look forward to a long association with the practice for my continued regular dental care. My husband was so impressed, that he set up an appointment for his routine cleaning and care as well. This is a rare practice that excels at making you feel like one of the family. You can look around but you won’t find a better practice for all your dental needs. Too bad I can only give them 5 Stars!
