Live Without Thinking About Missing Teeth
Precision-Built To Perform Without Distraction
Living with missing or failing teeth changes how you interact day to day, often forcing you to work around limitations instead of feeling at ease. Dentures give you a way to move forward with teeth made for your life, not pulled from a shelf.
As a prosthodontist, Dr. Marxen's work centers on designing custom prosthetics that are built for long-term function, proper fit, and ease of maintenance.
What High-Quality Dentures Provide
Consistent, Stable Fit
You should not have to think about whether your dentures will stay in place. Dr. Marxen designs each prosthetic using detailed measurements, so it fits securely and distributes pressure evenly, reducing movement throughout the day.
Natural Facial Support
When teeth are missing, changes in facial structure happen gradually. Dentures are designed to support your facial profile, helping you maintain a natural appearance instead of dealing with a sunken or aged look.
Clean, Maintainable Design
One of the most common frustrations with dentures is how easily they trap food. We focus on designs that are easier to clean and maintain, so you are not dealing with ongoing irritation or hygiene concerns.
Built for Long-Term Use
You should not feel like you are constantly replacing or adjusting your dentures. With a custom approach and carefully selected materials, your prosthetic is built to function reliably and hold up over time.
Finding the Right Fit for You
Dentures are not one-size-fits-all, and the right approach depends on how many teeth need to be replaced and how your mouth is currently functioning. If you are missing all teeth in an upper or lower arch, a complete denture replaces everything and restores overall structure. If you still have healthy teeth, a partial denture fills in the missing areas while working alongside what remains, helping maintain balance and preventing additional strain on your bite.
For patients looking for more stability, dentures can also be supported by dental implants. This creates a more secure connection and reduces movement, but the way the prosthetic is made matters. Some implant-supported options rely on large acrylic bases that sit over the gums and tend to trap food, leading to hygiene issues over time. Dr. Marxen takes a different approach by focusing on prosthetics that are easier to clean, avoid unnecessary bulk, and support the long-term health of the surrounding tissue.
A Process Focused on Precision
1. A Thorough Evaluation
Dr. Marxen examines your bite, jaw position, and overall structure to understand how everything currently functions before any decisions are made.
2. Accurate Measurements
Impressions and bite records capture how your mouth moves and rests, guiding the fit, alignment, and balance of your prosthetic.
3. Try-In And Refinement
A preview allows you to assess fit and appearance before finalizing, with adjustments made to improve both function and support.
4. Final Placement And Follow-Up
After delivery, small refinements improve stability and comfort, with follow-up visits to ensure everything continues to perform as intended.
Why Experience Changes the Outcome
Dentistry that looks good on day one does not always function well long term.
Dr. Marxen has advanced training in both prosthodontics and periodontics, giving him a deeper understanding of how teeth, gums, and underlying structures work together. He continues to refine his approach through ongoing education and newer technology, allowing for more precise, maintainable results, especially in complex cases.
In this video, he explains how his training shapes the way treatment is planned and delivered.
Move Forward With Certainty
Living with missing teeth or poorly fitting dentures becomes frustrating, especially when previous solutions have not held up or felt right. Working with Dr. Marxen means taking a more deliberate approach, where you receive a solution that integrates more naturally into your daily life and holds up over time.
If you’re ready for something that feels easier to live with, the next step is a conversation to understand what will work best for you.
