Dentures

If you have missing or failing teeth but hesitate to make the switch to dentures, it may be time to take another look.

When designed by an expert like Edward Narcisi, DMD, of Monroeville, PA, today’s dentures are comfortable, secure, and flattering.

What makes our dentures so special? Quality. From start to finish.

You Are Not Alone

1 in 50 Americans live without teeth
According to research from the NIH (National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research), about 2.2% of Americans ages 20 to 64 have no teeth at all. So no matter how old you are, you are not alone. If you are missing your teeth, visit our compassionate team for a dentures appointment.

What Sets Us Apart: Quality & Expertise Call for a Consultation

Patients depend on their dentures every single day to give them a full, enjoyable life. We take our role seriously by creating dentures that are functional, natural-looking, and comfortable.  

A second-generation local dentist and expert, Dr. Narcisi has traveled the globe lecturing on dentistry and has published in multiple academic journals. In addition to his Monroeville, PA, practice, he is the clinical co-director of the Multidisciplinary Implant Center at the University of Pittsburgh and co-director of the General Practice Residency at the UPMC Shadyside Dental Center.

His expertise and high standards have allowed him to assemble a team of specialists and laboratory technicians that help ensure excellent, lasting results for our Monroeville and Greater Pittsburgh patients. A stickler for quality, Dr. Narcisi purposely maintains a low-volume practice so he can devote his time, one-on-one, with patients. To request an appointment consultation, contact us or call

Dr. Narcisi is equally as friendly as he is professional. He is “patient with his patients” and I am grateful to be one! My husband and I came to his office on the advice of a friend and we are truly thankful we did. My husband was in need of some work that proved to be, in our opinion the best decision we could have made for him... I am paying for services just like anyone else, but the service I received requires the compliment. I admire his gift and talent; the fact that he clearly takes pride in his work and can “chew the fat” all at the same time. He’s amazing!

Our Versatile Solutions for Missing Teeth

Are you just starting out or looking to replace ill-fitting dentures? Dr. Narcisi's practice in Monroeville, which focuses on aesthetic dentistry and implant reconstruction, can restore the appearance and functionality of even severely compromised mouths to enhance your quality of life. Full dentures can be made that either sit on top of the gums or attach to dental implants for greater stability.

Traditional Dentures

If you are looking for a fast and affordable solution to missing teeth, our dentist may suggest traditional full dentures, or complete dentures, that are custom-made to fit your mouth comfortably and securely.

Our removable complete dentures are created using high-quality, natural-looking materials including gum-colored acrylic and false teeth. They are held in place by natural suction and, if desired, dental adhesive.

Dr. Narcisi will work closely with you on color selection and design for a natural-looking smile.

Traditional dentures

Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures are secured in place using dental implants, which are small posts surgically inserted into the jaw. The denture is then securely attached to the dental implants.

Unlike traditional dentures, implant-supported ones remain in your mouth and you care for them by simply brushing and flossing, just as you did your natural teeth.

Because implants replace your tooth roots, they can also trigger new bone growth and halt jawbone atrophy. Of course, you'll never have to worry about these dentures slipping and embarrassing you. Concerned that implants will leave a shadow below your gums? Dr. Narcisi can use ceramic implants to prevent distracting grey lines.

Partial Dentures

Do you still have some healthy teeth remaining? Dr. Narcisi may recommend a partial denture that is custom-designed to fit around your existing teeth.

Partial dentures are hand-crafted out of quality dental materials that are carefully color-matched to your natural teeth. Partial dentures are typically held in place by clips that attach to nearby teeth.

If you are looking for a solution that is more secure than partial dentures, our dentist can restore your smile using dental implants. Implants can be used with a crown to replace an individual tooth or support a dental bridge to replace a row of missing teeth.

In addition to added security, the implants will help maintain a strong jaw by encouraging bone growth.

Pursue the Smile You've Been Dreaming of

We're the Dental Office to Visit A Patient of Ours Explains Why

"There are not enough words to describe how amazing Dr. Narcisi and his staff are. They take the time to get to know you and to make sure you are as comfortable as possible. I have always struggled with self confidence when is came to my smile and walking out of their office always makes me feel beautiful and happy!

How Do I Know I'm a Candidate For Implant-Supported Dentures?

During your appointment, our dentist, Dr. Narcisi will discuss your candidacy for implant-supported dentures. If you're not a candidate, you can likely explore other options we provide, like traditional complete dentures or partial dentures. Typical requirements are:
checkmark

Healthy Gums

Patients with gum disease or gingivitis will need to resolve these conditions before treatment. Healthy gums are essential for implant placement.

checkmark

Little to No Natural Teeth

If you are missing all or most of your teeth, you may be a good candidate for implant-supported dentures. Any decayed or broken teeth can be easily removed.

checkmark

Strong Jawbone Material

Because implants fuse to your jaw, you will need sufficient bone in place to be a candidate. In some cases, even if you have experienced bone loss, a bone graft can restore your candidacy.

How Will You Coordinate My Implant Placement?

If you have chosen implant-supported dentures, an oral surgeon or implantologist will handle this stage of your care. While our dentist, Dr. Narcisi, does not place implants himself, he provides references for someone who can carry out that phase of treatment.

We coordinate implant placement with a trusted local oral surgeon to ensure you have a continuum of excellent care. We're happy to answer your questions and concerns about the process so you feel comfortable and confident in your care.

My dental anxiety had kept me from the dentist for many years. Everyone at this office was Incredibly kind. It started with a caring receptionist and continued with the hygienist! She was incredible and made sure that I wasn’t in any discomfort. Finally it ended with Dr Narcissi. He explained everything and went over my treatment plan. He made recommendations and gave me several options on treatment options. I should also mention this occurred during Covid and I could not have felt safer!! Thank you to Dr Narcissi and his wonderful staff. One appointment has begun a life changing return to dental health for me!
