24531 Trabuco Rd., Suite H, Lake Forest, CA 92630 Dentures and partials are excellent solutions for restoring your smile when you need to replace multiple missing teeth. They help improve your oral function, making it easier to speak and eat properly, and they also support your facial structure, enhancing your overall appearance. Custom-made to fit your mouth comfortably, dentures offer an aesthetically pleasing and functional result.
There are two main types of dentures:
Complete Dentures: Complete dentures replace all the teeth in either your upper or lower dental arch. They are ideal for patients who have lost all their natural teeth in one or both arches. Complete dentures rest directly on the gums and can be secured with dental adhesives or implants for a more stable fit.
Partial Dentures: Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. They consist of a metal framework or plastic base that supports the replacement teeth. Partial dentures attach to your natural teeth with clasps or precision attachments, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit. They help maintain the alignment of your remaining teeth and prevent them from shifting.
In addition to traditional removable dentures, our dentist may suggest implant-supported dentures for added stability. Implant-supported dentures are anchored to dental implants placed in the jawbone, offering enhanced support and preventing the dentures from slipping or moving. This option can provide a more natural feel and improve your confidence in your smile.
Creating your dentures involves several appointments to ensure a precise fit. During these visits, our dentist will take detailed impressions of your mouth and measurements to design your custom dentures. Once your dentures are ready, we will fit them, making necessary adjustments for comfort and function. Our team will also provide you with instructions on how to care for your dentures, ensuring their longevity and maintaining your oral health.
Regular dental checkups are essential for maintaining your dentures. During these visits, we will check the fit and function of your dentures and perform any necessary maintenance. It is important to address any issues promptly to ensure your dentures continue to serve you well.
