Benefits of Dentures

1.

Custom Fit

Each denture is carefully crafted to fit your unique oral anatomy, providing better stability and comfort throughout the day.

2.

Facial Support

Properly fitted dentures help maintain your natural facial contours and prevent the sunken appearance that often occurs with tooth loss.

3.

Natural Appearance

Our custom design process ensures that your dentures enhance your smile with teeth that look natural in size, shape, and color.

4.

Better Quality of Life

Eat, speak, and enjoy everyday moments with ease.

Did you know that nearly 1 in 5 adults aged 65 and older have lost all of their teeth? Tooth loss is more common than you might think—and dentures can be a life-changing solution.

Procedure Overview

Getting dentures is a straightforward process, though it may take a few appointments. First, Dr. Zhang uses our advanced TRIOS Scanner to capture a precise digital scan of your gums and any remaining teeth, providing exceptional comfort compared to traditional molds. We use that detailed 3D model to design dentures that match the unique shape of your mouth. Once your dentures are ready, you’ll return for a fitting. If everything feels comfortable and secure, you’ll take them home. If adjustments are needed, we’ll make them to ensure a perfect fit.

Types of Dental Dentures in Fullerton

Full dentures - Plates

Full Dentures (“Plates”)

These traditional dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower arch. They rest on the gums and are ideal for patients who have lost (or need to remove) all their teeth due to decay or gum disease. Upper dentures often create suction against the roof of the mouth for added stability.
Partial dentures

Partial Dentures

Partials replace several missing teeth and clip around your remaining healthy ones. They’re a great option when you want to preserve your natural teeth and aren’t a candidate for bridges or implants.
Implant supported dentures - Overdentures

Implant-Supported Dentures/Overdentures

These snap-on dentures anchor to 2–4 dental implants for extra stability. They’re easy to clean, don’t require adhesives, and offer better comfort and chewing power—especially for those with bone loss or jaw shrinkage.

Signs You May Need Dentures

  • Missing Teeth: If you’ve lost several teeth from decay, injury, or gum disease, dentures can help restore your smile and function.
  • Severe Pain or Decay: Ongoing tooth pain or widespread decay that can’t be treated with fillings or crowns may require dentures.
  • Difficulty Chewing: If eating causes discomfort or becomes difficult, missing teeth might be the reason and dentures can help.
  • Changes in Speech: Missing teeth can affect how you speak. If you’re noticing speech changes, dentures may improve clarity and confidence.

Dentures FAQs

If you have any questions about dentures, we’ve got answers.

If you’re new to wearing dentures, they may feel a bit bulky at first—that’s completely normal. Since the appliance rests over your gums, it takes a little time to adjust. By wearing your dentures consistently each day, most people adapt within a few weeks.

At first, you may find it helpful to practice speaking in front of a mirror and take smaller bites while eating. With a little patience and daily wear, you’ll soon feel comfortable and confident with your new smile.

The right type of dentures depends on your smile, budget, and overall oral health. Here’s a quick breakdown:

  • Full Dentures: Best if you’re missing all teeth in your upper or lower arch.
  • Partial Dentures: Great if you still have some healthy teeth and want to fill the gaps.
  • Implant-Supported Dentures: Offer the most stability and comfort by attaching securely to dental implants.

At your consultation with Dr. Zhang at Fullerton Smile Dentistry, we’ll evaluate your needs and recommend the denture option that’s right for you.

No, it’s not recommended to wear your dentures while you sleep. Doing so can speed up bone loss, lead to sore spots or infections, and reduce the overall lifespan of your dentures. Removing them at night gives your gums a chance to rest and helps keep your mouth healthy.

  • Remove dentures at night to let your gums rest and prevent bone loss.
  • Clean them daily with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Never use hot water or harsh cleaners.
  • Soak them in a denture solution as directed to keep them fresh and bacteria-free.
  • Handle with care and clean over a towel or sink of water to avoid damage if dropped.
  • Bring them to checkups so Dr. Zhang can check the fit and make any needed adjustments.

Proper care helps your dentures last longer and keeps your mouth healthy.
