What Are Dentures?

Dentures are custom-made, removable oral appliances designed to replace missing teeth. They’re made from durable materials that mimic the appearance of natural teeth, and they restore both the function and aesthetics of your mouth.

There are two main types of dentures:

  1. Full Dentures
    Full dentures are used when a patient has lost all of their teeth on the upper or lower jaw. They consist of a complete set of artificial teeth set in a gum-colored acrylic base that fits snugly over the gums. Full dentures help improve speech, eating, and the overall appearance of the smile.

  2. Partial Dentures
    Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. These dentures consist of a metal or acrylic framework with artificial teeth that fill in the gaps where teeth are missing. Partial dentures are designed to blend in with your natural teeth, providing a functional and aesthetically pleasing solution.

Benefits of Dentures and Partial Dentures

Dentures and partial dentures offer several benefits for individuals with missing teeth:

  • Restored Appearance: Both full and partial dentures are designed to look like natural teeth, enhancing the overall aesthetics of your smile.

  • Improved Function: Dentures help restore the ability to speak and chew, making everyday activities more comfortable.

  • Enhanced Confidence: With dentures, you can smile confidently again, knowing your teeth are securely in place.

  • Preserved Oral Health: Dentures help support facial structures and prevent the remaining natural teeth from shifting or misaligning.

The Denture and Partial Denture Process at Agoura Dental Arts

Getting dentures or partial dentures typically involves several steps:

  1. Initial Consultation: Dr. Rabizadeh will assess your oral health and discuss your options. If necessary, impressions of your mouth will be taken to create your custom dentures.

  2. Fitting and Adjustments: You may need a few follow up appointments to confirm the bite and aesthetics of the denture prior to final denture fabrication. Once your dentures are created, you’ll return to the office to try them on and ensure they fit comfortably. Any necessary adjustments will be made to ensure they align perfectly with your mouth.

  3. Follow-Up Visits: After your dentures are placed, follow-up visits will ensure proper fit and function. Over time, your mouth may change, and further adjustments may be necessary to maintain comfort and stability.
