Dentures & Partials
Temporary or permanent, our dentures and partials will have you looking your best.
The dentures and partials you’ll find at our office are top-of-the-line, constructed using time-tested techniques and the latest technology to ensure a perfect fit. Whether you need a temporary solution or want to explore options for something that’s longer lasting, we make acrylic, flexible-base, and metal framework partials to meet your needs. Dr. Maskell has experience making overdentures set on natural teeth or implants. Our team is here to help create a natural look that will give you the confidence in your smile.
We provide a variety of options to suit your unique needs.
At Dental Arts of Tucson, we strive to bring you the most up-to-date technology and materials available, so that you can have confidence in our dentures and partials. Dr. Maskell works closely with local and national dental labs and uses only major manufacturer parts and supplies. We do not use gray-market or proprietary systems for implants or semi-precision attachments.
At home care instructions
Remember that it will take time to adjust to the feel of your new bite. When the bite is altered or the position of the teeth is changed it takes several days for the brain to recognize the new position of your teeth or their thickness as normal. If you continue to detect any high spots or problems with your bite, call our office at Kevin T Maskell DMD, Dental Arts of Tucson Phone Number 520-327-5661 so we can schedule an adjustment appointment.
It is normal to experience some hot and cold sensitivity. The teeth require some time to heal after removal of tooth structure and will be sensitive in the interim. Your gums may also be sore for a few days. Warm salt water rinses (a teaspoon of salt in a cup of warm water) three times a day will reduce pain and swelling. A mild pain medication (one tablet of Tylenol or Ibuprofen (Motrin) every 3-4 hours) should ease any residual discomfort.
Don’t be concerned if your speech is affected for the first few days. You’ll quickly adapt and be speaking normally. You may notice increased salivation. This is because your brain is responding to the new size and shape of your teeth. This should subside to normal in about a week.
Daily brushing and flossing are a must for your new dental work. Daily plaque removal is critical for the long-term success of your new teeth, as are regular cleaning appointments.
Any food that can crack, chip or damage a natural tooth can do the same to your new teeth. Avoid hard foods and substances (such as beer nuts, peanut brittle, ice, fingernails, or pencils) and sticky candies. Smoking will stain your new teeth. Minimize or avoid foods that stain such as coffee, red wine, tea and berries.
If you engage in sports let us know so we can make a custom mouthguard. If you grind your teeth at night, wear the night guard we have provided for you. Adjusting to the look and feel of your new smile will take time. If you have any problems or concerns, please let us know. We always welcome your questions.

I have never had a dentist who was more thorough and professional. Dr. Maskell takes the time to explain various considerations, going well beyond peeking in your mouth to make sure the hygienist didn’t miss anything. I take my kids to Dr. Maskell as well – he’s equally amazing with adults and children!

Awesome experience; highly recommend! I struggle with major dental anxiety and Dr. Maskell and his team were so welcoming and calming. They go above and beyond to make sure you have a comfortable experience. Cleanings and fillings were gentle and pain free. Dr. Maskell gave me more than great care for my pearly whites; he’s mades dentistry so much more approachable and stress-free for me (which is HUGE!) Big thank to him and his team!

I live in Connecticut and was cat-sitting for my daughter, Kathryn, in Tucson- (for 8 days)
The FIRST day, my SIX -tooth FRONT-top bridge fell completely off. So I called around and got either no help or was offered help that would cost $$$$hundreds. I fortunately found my daughter’s appt card for Dr Maskell and called his office. Not only did Dr Maskell see me, but he did a temporary fix, offered his professional opinion for what I needed back in CT, was very kind, and charged me only for the x-rays and his time. Great experience. I appreciate Dr Maskell and his crew very much. I’m confident that Kathryn will have a fantastic dental experience at Dental Art . Thanks Dr Maskell and associates

A positive experience from start to finish. A pleasant office with kind and professional staff. Dr Maskell is very personable and knowledgeable. He took the time necessary to help me fully understand what my issues were as well as my treatment options. No hard sell. His assistant, the hygienist and Lori at the front desk were all proficient and excellent at what they do. I am returning because I was treated well and feel confident that I will continue to receive excellent care here.

Since my prior posting, I have had a wisdom tooth removed and a crown fitted by Dr Maskell and his assistant, Maria. Both procedures were done expertly and I am very happy with the outcomes. My wife and I continue to be impressed by the positive atmosphere that is apparent throughout the office.

I’d never met Dr. Maskell before, and I felt reassured that what may be a protracted series of procedures will be handled by him and his staff with professionalism and care. This seems likes a really nice place to work!
