Replacing missing teeth · Vista, CA
Full & Partial Dentures in Vista, CA
A denture replaces natural teeth and provides support for the cheeks and lips. Let’s discuss whether full or partial dentures fit your needs.
What is a denture?
A denture is an appliance inserted in the mouth that replaces natural teeth and provides support for the cheeks and lips. A complete denture replaces all of the teeth in an arch; a partial denture fills gaps when some natural teeth remain.
What to expect
Creating a denture usually takes several appointments: impressions, try-ins to check fit and appearance, and adjustments after delivery. Your dentist will explain the process, timing, and costs for your situation.
Living with a denture
It takes time to adapt to speaking and eating with a new denture. Regular dental visits remain important so we can check the fit of your denture and the health of your mouth over time.
Fit, follow-up, and repairs
Your mouth and denture can change over time. Call about sore areas, looseness, or damage rather than adjusting the denture yourself. After an assessment, your dentist may recommend an adjustment, reline, repair, or replacement.
Implant-retained options
Some dentures use implants for added retention. Suitability depends on your health, bone support, and treatment goals. Discuss surgery, ongoing maintenance, and possible future repairs before deciding. Learn about implant-retained dentures.
Considering implants instead?
Dental implants may also be an option for replacing missing teeth. An examination helps determine which approach makes sense for you.
