Dentures
Dentures provide a reliable and natural-looking solution for missing teeth, restoring confidence, comfort, and oral function. They support facial structure, improve speech and chewing, and are custom-crafted for a secure fit.
Dentures in Orange and Villa Park, CA
Dentures can be an excellent option for people who are missing most or all of their natural teeth. These restorations are custom-made dental prosthetics designed to replace missing teeth and restore essential functions such as chewing, speaking, and maintaining facial structure. They are crafted to fit comfortably over the gums and may be either complete dentures, which replace an entire arch of teeth, or partial dentures, which fill gaps alongside natural teeth.
Modern dentures are made with durable, natural-looking materials and are secured through precise design or additional support options. With proper care, dentures offer a reliable and effective solution for enhancing oral function and overall confidence.

What are full dentures?
Complete dentures are full-arch restorations designed to replace all missing teeth in the upper or lower jaw, restoring function, support, and aesthetics. They sit directly on the gums and provide a comprehensive solution for total tooth loss. Partial dentures, by contrast, replace only several missing teeth and anchor to the remaining natural teeth. This distinction allows partials to integrate with existing dentition, while complete dentures serve as a full replacement.

What are partial dentures?
Partial dentures are custom dental appliances designed to replace one or more missing teeth while preserving the remaining natural teeth. They attach securely using clasps or precision attachments, restoring function and aesthetics without requiring full tooth replacement.
Partial dentures are recommended when several teeth are missing, but enough healthy teeth remain to provide stability. In contrast, complete dentures are needed only when all teeth in an arch must be replaced.
