Why Choose Dr. Stankewitz for Dentures in Houston?
Dr. Stankewitz is Houston’s premier denture specialist, renowned for his mastery of prosthodontics and full-mouth rehabilitation. While digital dentures offer speed and scalability for high-volume clinics, handmade dentures remain the undisputed gold standard for fit, esthetics, and patient satisfaction — and Dr. Stankewitz is one of the few who still practices this elite craft.
In an era where dental schools have largely abandoned the founding principles of hand fabrication, Dr. Stankewitz preserves the lost art of custom denture construction: manual wax modeling, hand-layered acrylics, and meticulous occlusion adjustments based on 40+ years of anatomical expertise. Our patients in Houston, Katy, and Memorial City choose us because:
- Unrivaled Handmade Fit: Every denture is sculpted to your unique jaw biomechanics — no generic digital templates, no compromises.
- Superior Esthetics: Hand-selected teeth, custom gum shading, and lifelike layering create smiles that digital uniformity can’t match.
- In-House Craftsmanship: From impression to final polish, our Houston lab follows time-tested techniques for results that last for years.
- Rare Expertise: Board-certified prosthodontist Dr. Stankewitz upholds skills not taught in modern dental education — true artistry over automation.
If you’re searching for an expert prosthodontist near me, you’re in the right place. Dr. Stankewitz offers expert care in full-mouth rehabilitation, precision dentures, and implant-supported restorations. As a denture specialist in Houston, Katy, and the surrounding area, Dr. Stankewitz provides the level of precision only a Board-Certified Prosthodontist can offer.
Why Our Houston Patients Choose Handmade Over Digital
- Precision & Fit
Handmade: Sculpted to your unique jaw biomechanics and muscle movements (functional impressions); fewer “sore spots” because the base is adjusted to your specific anatomy.
Digital: Rely on “best-fit” algorithms and standardized templates; often require more post-delivery adjustments to achieve true comfort.
Esthetics & Realism
Handmade: Features hand-layered acrylics and custom gum shading; teeth are individually set to match your facial structure and age for a lifelike appearance.
Digital: Often have a “uniform” or “monolithic” look; digital layering can lack the translucency and natural variations found in hand-crafted restorations.
Material Quality
Handmade: Uses premium, high-impact resins and hand-selected porcelain or composite teeth designed for long-term durability and “bite” strength.
Digital: Typically milled from a single block of PMMA or 3D printed; while strong, they can lack the nuanced material transitions of a master-crafted prosthetic.
Clinical Expertise
Handmade: Requires 40+ years of anatomical mastery and the “lost art” of wax modeling—skills often no longer taught in modern dental schools.
Digital: Prioritizes speed and scalability for high-volume clinics; shifts the focus from the doctor’s artistry to the software’s automation.
Longevity & Value
Handmade: Designed as a long-term investment (the “Gold Standard”) that minimizes the need for frequent replacements or major realignments.
Digital: Frequently used for “immediate” or “economy” solutions where speed is prioritized over custom, long-term biomechanical harmony.
“For patients seeking a more secure and stable solution, we also offer implant dentures, which are designed to function just like your natural teeth.”
