Advancements in dental technology have transformed the perception and performance of dentures, dispelling concerns about discomfort and conspicuousness. With innovations like implant-supported dentures and 3D printing, aesthetic and functional outcomes have significantly improved. However, the quality of dentures varies widely, relying heavily on the practitioner's skills and available technology.

At ADHP in Downey, Fallbrook, Torrance and Long Beach, CA, we offer affordable traditional complete and partial dentures, recommending a reline every two years to maintain comfort and fit. Under the care of Dr. John Cohen, DDS, you'll enjoy enhanced smile function and confidence.

Four types of denture, and who each suits

Complete Dentures

If you've lost many or most of your teeth, complete dentures are an excellent option for transforming your smile beauty and restoring oral function and confidence. Complete or full dentures consist of color-matched prosthetic teeth placed into a gum-colored acrylic base. We typically wait eight to 12 weeks after your teeth have been extracted to take impressions and create this type of denture.

Immediate Dentures

If you qualify for immediate dentures, you can receive one right after the remaining teeth have been extracted. We take measurements and make models of your upper and lower arches to make this possible during a preliminary visit. An immediate denture typically doesn't fit as precisely as a conventional denture because it takes 6–8 weeks to heal following extraction. After shrinkage of the underlying bone has occurred (about six months following extractions), an immediate denture must be relined or replaced.

Partial Dentures

If you're only missing a handful of teeth, a partial denture may be the perfect solution to fill these gaps. This type of denture features the same kind of false teeth as a complete denture, but the prosthetic attaches to natural teeth with discreet metal or acrylic clasps. A partial denture in combination with dental crowns can provide more seamless aesthetics.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures are held in place by dental implants, so they eliminate slippage and stress on your gums, don't require adhesive to stay in place and enable eating all the foods you love. Most importantly, because the implants replace your missing natural tooth roots, the underlying bone is stimulated when you chew, so it stays healthy. This also helps prevent undesirable facial changes that sometimes can occur with traditional dentures.

Customized dentures for your smile needs

At ADHP, we offer same-day full and partial dentures created in our state-of-the-art in-house dental lab. Our goal is to provide you with affordable, high-quality, and durable dentures that exceed your expectations. The process begins with digital impressions of your jaw ridge and oral tissues, which are swiftly sent to our specialized dental lab. Our skilled technicians meticulously handcraft your new dentures, ensuring they resemble natural teeth and gums in appearance and feel.

Throughout this highly customized process, we may schedule a short appointment for a wax try-in to ensure the perfect fit. Once the dentures are ready, you can return for a final fitting, allowing you to walk out of our practice with a renewed and stunning new smile on the same day. While it may take a short adjustment period to get used to wearing your new dentures, you'll soon experience the numerous benefits they provide.

  • Improved smile aesthetics
  • Decreased risk of decay and shifting (in remaining teeth)
  • Increased confidence and self-esteem

Frequently asked questions

How soon can I get dentures after extractions?

With immediate dentures, right after the remaining teeth have been extracted. For a conventional complete denture we typically wait eight to 12 weeks after extraction before taking impressions.

Do dentures need maintenance?

Yes. We recommend a reline every two years to maintain comfort and fit. Immediate dentures must be relined or replaced about six months after extractions, once shrinkage of the underlying bone has occurred.

Should I consider implants instead?

Implant-supported dentures eliminate slippage, don't require adhesive, and stimulate the underlying bone when you chew so it stays healthy. Dr. Cohen will help you decide if removable or fixed implant-supported dentures better suit your oral health needs and lifestyle.
