818-882-0100 Our compassionate dentists and team understand the impact of missing teeth on both your confidence and oral health. That is why we offer both dentures and partials, each tailored to suit different needs. Our expert team is dedicated to crafting these prosthetics to not only enhance the aesthetics of your smile but also to improve functionality and fit comfortably.
Understanding Dentures and Partials
While both dentures and partials serve the purpose of replacing missing teeth, they differ in their application and structure:
- Full Dentures: Designed for individuals who have lost all of their teeth in an arch (upper or lower jaw). They sit directly on the gums and can be removed for cleaning.
- Partial Dentures: Ideal for those who still have some natural teeth remaining. Partials fill the gaps left by missing teeth and are held in place by clasps that attach to the natural teeth, offering a blend between a bridge and a full denture.
The Process of Receiving Dentures and Partials
Your journey to a full smile involves:
- Detailed Consultation: We assess your oral health and discuss the best option for you.
- Meticulous Crafting: Whether a full denture or a partial, your prosthetic is custom-made.
- Trial and Adjustment: Ensuring a perfect fit and addressing any comfort issues.
- Final Fitting: Once satisfied, your new denture or partial is ready for regular use.

FAQ
What is the difference between full dentures and partial dentures?
Full dentures replace all of the teeth in either the upper or lower jaw, while partial dentures replace only a few missing teeth. Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain, while full dentures are used when all teeth are missing.
How do I adjust to wearing dentures?
Adjusting to dentures involves getting used to the feel and fit of the appliance. It may take a few weeks to adapt to eating and speaking comfortably. Our dentists can provide tips and adjustments to improve the fit and function.
How should I care for my dentures?
Care for dentures by cleaning them daily with a denture brush and cleanser, avoiding hot water and soaking them overnight in a denture solution. Regular visits to our dentists are also important for maintaining proper fit and function.
How long do dentures typically last?
Dentures typically last between 5 to 10 years, but they may need adjustments or replacements due to changes in the shape of your mouth or wear over time. Regular dental visits can help ensure your dentures remain comfortable and functional.
