Dentures in Sherman Oaks – Full & Partial
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are removable prosthetic appliances designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding gum tissue. Depending on your needs, we may recommend:
- Full (complete) dentures – for patients missing all teeth in the upper and/or lower arch
- Partial dentures – for patients missing some but not all teeth, with natural teeth still present to support the denture
- Implant-supported dentures – for added stability and comfort (see Implants page)
All dentures are custom-designed to fit comfortably, restore function, and enhance your appearance.
Types of Dentures We Offer
Full Dentures (Complete)
- Replace an entire upper or lower arch of teeth
- Rely on suction or adhesive to stay in place
- Removable for daily cleaning and sleeping
- Can be conventional (after healing) or immediate (placed same day after extraction)
Partial Dentures
- Replace multiple missing teeth while using remaining natural teeth for support
- Typically use metal or flexible acrylic clasps
- Help prevent shifting of remaining teeth
- Removable for easy cleaning
Implant-Supported Dentures (Optional Upgrade)
- Anchored to dental implants for improved fit and chewing ability
- Eliminates slipping, clicking, or the need for adhesives
- Available as removable or fixed (permanent) solutions
Our Denture Process
Consultation & Evaluation
We assess your oral health, bone structure, and smile goals. If needed, we take impressions and X-rays to guide treatment.
Extractions (If Needed)
If you need any teeth removed before getting full dentures, we’ll perform gentle extractions and provide healing time or immediate options.
Denture Fabrication
We take precise measurements and impressions to design a comfortable and aesthetic fit. You’ll preview and approve tooth shape and shade.
Fitting & Adjustments
Once your dentures are ready, we check fit, comfort, and bite — and make any needed adjustments to ensure natural function.
Ongoing Support
We provide instructions on care, cleaning, and periodic follow-ups to keep your denture fitting and functioning well.
