See Why Patients Trust Dr. Zobrist for Dentures and Denture Repair
“Dan had a stroke about a year ago, and as a result of that he was unable to swallow, and he had a lot of issues with his dentures. Dr. Zobrist has taken us on a tremendous journey where we have found the solution to those problems, and Dan now has a beautiful smile, and is able to eat steak for the very first time.”
Not All Dentures Are Created Equal. (And Yes, Ours Are Better).
There is a reason the majority of our new patients come to us deeply unsatisfied with dentures they bought somewhere else.
Corporate, ‘assembly-line’ dental clinics rely on rushed impressions and generic, one-size-fits-all designs to keep their upfront prices low. But crafting a proper denture is like a master architect designing a custom home—if the foundational blueprints are rushed, the house will never sit right. Every mouth is entirely unique. While a lucky few might be able to get by with a cheap, discount-clinic denture, most patients end up struggling with a loose, painful fit because their specific bone ridges weren’t properly accounted for.
Are Our Dentures Right For You?
Dr. Zobrist is the only provider in Baton Rouge utilizing this exclusive, fully digital verification process. Because of the advanced technology, precise lab work, and direct doctor time involved, our custom digital dentures do require a higher upfront investment than a discount clinic.
However, they actually save you money in the long run.
Built to Last: A perfectly fitted, bio-hygienic acrylic denture protects your jawbone and requires fewer painful adjustments.
The “No Need To Panic” Backup: Accidents happen. If you drop your dentures in the sink or the dog gets ahold of them, you aren’t left toothless. You already have your permanent “Test Drive” prototype to wear immediately!
Cheaper, Faster Replacements: Patients generally need to replace dentures every 5 to 7 years as their mouth naturally changes. Because your exact facial architecture is saved digitally, future replacement sets are much less expensive and don’t require starting from scratch.
Don't Guess on Your Smile. "Test Drive" It First.
Corporate Franchise Denture Centers
- The Rushed Try-In: You look in a mirror for a few minutes with a loose wax model that doesn't truly represent the final fit.
- The Forced Decision: You are asked to approve your permanent smile before ever actually eating, speaking, or living with it.
- The "Stuck With It" Moment: Once the lab delivers the final product, your "test drive" is over. If they hurt or look off, you’re stuck with a permanent problem.
Dr. Z's Way (Adjust & Verify)
- Physical Real-World Wear: We print a stable, wearable prototype that you take home for weeks, not minutes.
- Iterative Adjustments: Unlike traditional methods, we often provide multiple prototypes throughout the process, refining the fit until it's perfect.
- The Verification Prototype: Your final approval isn't a guess—it’s a verification. We only mill your final, bio-hygienic denture once you have lived with and approved every single detail.
- Keep Your Winning Smile: Even after your final set is delivered, you keep the functional prototype. You’ll never be caught without a "backup smile" during emergencies.
- Service After The Sale: Many of our patients started their denture experience at a corporate denture center that treats them like a number, and provides poor and slow service once they've made the initial sale. We are able to see patients with denture problems quickly and offer solutions to help you get your life back.
The 4-Step Digital Denture Process
- The Starting Impression: Instead of massive metal trays and messy goop, we use a highly precise intra-oral digital scan to get a flawless, comfortable baseline.
- The Digital Design: Using advanced CAD/CAM technology, Dr. Zobrist digitally engineers your new smile. He personally ensures the teeth are positioned for the most natural appearance and an ideal, functional bite.
- The 3D Printed Try-In (Your "Test Drive"): This is what makes us different. We print stable, physical prototypes for you to wear in your everyday life. We often go through multiple iterations, making adjustments until everything is perfect. This is a true verification process. And the best part? You keep your final, approved prototype as a permanent emergency backup!
- The Final Masterpiece: Once you verify the prototype is exactly what you want, your permanent denture is precision-milled from advanced, bio-hygienic acrylic. There is no final delivery guesswork—just a beautiful smile that fits exactly like your approved "Test Drive."

Where the corporate franchises fail, Dr. Z steps in. We see you quickly, correct the design flaws, and deliver solutions that actually work.
To us you aren’t a number at a volume-based clinic, and you won’t be passed off to assistants. You receive true, personalized care from a doctor who personally manages every step of restoring your smile.

Frequently Asked Questions About Digital Dentures
Q: Will my digital dentures look natural?
A: Absolutely. In fact, they look more natural than traditional dentures. Because we design them digitally, we can customize the tooth shape, shade, and even the “gum” color to perfectly match your facial features and age, ensuring your smile looks like it truly belongs to you.
Q: Who is a good candidate for digital dentures?
A: Digital dentures are ideal for anyone who needs complete or partial dentures for the first time, as well as those looking to replace older, uncomfortable dentures that slip or cause sore spots. Because our digital scanning process is incredibly precise, we can create a superior, custom fit for almost any patient. A brief consultation with Dr. Zobrist is the best way to determine if this modern approach is right for your specific smile.
Q: Are digital impressions really better than traditional molds?
A: Absolutely. For many patients, the traditional “gooey” impression putty is the worst part of getting dentures because it can trigger a strong gag reflex. Our advanced 3D scanner simply glides around your mouth, taking thousands of pictures to create a perfect digital model. It’s cleaner, incredibly comfortable, and far more accurate. Plus, your 3D scan is saved securely on file—meaning if you ever lose or break your dentures, we can easily craft an exact duplicate without starting from scratch!
Q: How long does the digital denture process take?
A: One of the biggest advantages of digital dentures is efficiency. Because we bypass the messy traditional molds and send accurate 3D data straight to the lab, the entire process generally requires fewer visits to our office. While exact timelines vary depending on your specific needs, the digital workflow allows us to design, craft, and deliver your comfortable new smile noticeably faster—and with far greater accuracy—than older methods.
Q: Will my dental insurance cover custom digital dentures?
A: Every dental insurance plan is different, but many do provide coverage for a portion of denture treatments, regardless of the technology used to make them. Our friendly front office team is highly experienced in maximizing your benefits. We will happily verify your specific insurance plan and provide a clear, transparent breakdown of any out-of-pocket costs before we begin your custom digital denture process.
Q: What happens if I lose or break my dentures? Can you make an emergency set?
A: While we cannot rush-manufacture a brand new custom set from scratch, our digital process offers the ultimate insurance policy. We keep a permanent 3D digital blueprint of your smile on file. We highly recommend having an affordable “backup” set printed alongside your final dentures. If a calamity happens—like your dog getting hold of them—we can simply print from your digital file rather than starting the entire impression process over again!
