Dentures & Partial Dentures

Do not live one day longer than necessary with your missing tooth or teeth. If you have one or several missing teeth, contact us today at (951) 214-6585 to schedule an appointment with our dentist. We will determine if you are a candidate for dentures or partial dentures. In general, most patients with one or several missing teeth can benefit from either dentures or partial dentures. The unique condition of your teeth and gums will dictate whether the full or partial variety is optimal for you.

Partial dentures are ideal when some natural teeth are still present yet some are missing. The dentist makes dental impressions of the teeth and takes measurements to determine exactly how the jaws align. Models of the dentures are made. The dentist might provide a couple partial denture fittings to verify the hue, shape and alignment is just right. The denture is cast with missing teeth and might also include a framework consisting of metal to ensure the denture remains in place.

Full dentures are ideal when the majority or most of the teeth are missing. The dentist might have to remove or reshape remaining teeth if they have endured decay or damage to ensure your full dentures look and function just right. The dentist will take measurements and impressions, generate the models, ensure your denture fitting makes it easier to chew through food and be your true self in social settings.
