Full & Partial: A Solution For Every Need

Whether you’re in need of one tooth or an entire row, cosmetic dentures in Long Beach provide a resolution...

Dentures in Long Beach are a very popular approach to replacing missing teeth among patients of all ages, providing an affordable alternative to dental implants while allowing for the convenience of easily removing them at will. Depending on the specific dental needs of an individual, we provide a couple of options for restoring a lost smile through the use of false teeth. In some cases a tooth extraction may first be required in order to make way for the replacement. Our first option is for patients that require an entire row of teeth to be replaced through the use of full cosmetic dentures, and this can be extremely common among individuals that have experienced a severe dental trauma, excessive tooth decay, or a more natural occurrence among senior patients. These full dentures are customized to comfortably fit along the gums, be used when eating and drinking normally, and can be removed at any time of convenience. For those that may have only experienced the loss of one, or perhaps several teeth, and would like to utilize the full convenience of what we offer with cosmetic dentures, there is a solution for you as well. Partial dentures provide the same level of support and reliability, but are designed to fit within specific areas of your mouth and between the remaining natural teeth. This is a great and affordable option for individuals that are seeking the benefits of tooth replacement within very particular areas of the mouth. Whether you are seeking partial or complete dentures, Long Beach Family Dentist can provide a comfortable solution for once again restoring your beautiful smile. Give us a call today with any questions, we can schedule your first appointment right away!

Throughout the day, you can always provide a quick touch-up by utilizing a toothbrush and gently scrubbing the surface areas of your teeth, this will reduce buildup that occurs from eating and drinking. Avoid using your cosmetic dentures to eat and chew on very hard materials, such as ice cubes, nuts, and candy that can potentially chip or crack one or more of these teeth. We are always available to assist our patients with any of their dental questions or concerns, so feel free to contact us any time, any day.

Types Of Dentures

We wish to assist you in selecting the best solution for you...

Complete Dentures

The majority of people consider complete dentures to be dentures. Every tooth in your mouth or arch is replaced by these removable fake teeth. Traditional dentures contain a full set of porcelain or plastic teeth on a foundation made of gum-colored plastic. They are constructed specifically for your mouth using molds created after your denture was removed. Your dentures should be completely snug against your gums and secure even in the absence of denture glue.

Partial Dentures

Not everyone needs to have all or the majority of their teeth replaced. A partial denture is a fantastic solution for people who just require replacements for a few teeth in the same area of the mouth. Similar to full dentures, the replacement teeth, which are frequently made of acrylic or porcelain, will be fastened to a pink plastic foundation. To keep partial dentures in place when speaking and eating, metal clasps are used to attach them to the teeth on each side of the gap left by a missing tooth.

Immediate Dentures

Immediate dentures, also known as temporary dentures, are manufactured before you have your teeth extracted. You might leave your removal with brand-new teeth if you have instant dentures. Unlike the case with permanent dentures, when the molds are created after the extraction. However, if your gums and bones change with time, you might need to have your immediate dentures changed or corrected.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Dentures that are supported by implants are an option for patients who wish their speech and bite to be more stable. Implants are surgically fixed metal posts or screws that bond to your jawbone. They are attached to your dentures by a component referred to as an abutment. Your replacement teeth are detachable even though the implants are not, making them just as simple to keep and clean as traditional dentures. A denture supported by implants looks and functions quite naturally.

The Process Of Restoring Your Smile

Getting cosmetic dentures in Long Beach can be achieved with just a few short appointments...

Our team is dedicated to providing quality cosmetic dentures that meet and exceed your preferences in appearance and overall comfort by taking a thorough and professional approach to every individual patient’s treatment. During your first appointment, the dentist will conduct a general exam in order to carefully evaluate your specific needs and oral condition before moving forward with the remaining process. This is done with the use of digital x-rays and a visual analyzation to determine whether any prior treatment may be needed before moving forward. Once this process is complete and the patient is ready to begin moving forward, a dental impression will be taken from the area of the mouth that requires treatment. This impression will later be used in a lab to create a customized set of cosmetic dentures that are specific to the shape and size of your mouth, allowing for a perfectly natural sense of comfort upon completion. Once the dentures are completed, the dentist will have you return to the office for placement. During this time, all measures will be taken to ensure absolute comfort within the mouth, making any minor adjustments that might be needed in order to allow for the best possible outcome. It isn’t uncommon for this process to take more than a single visit so that any adjustments that are needed can be made accurately between visits. After receiving your final set of dentures, the dentist will be sure to follow-up with your overall comfort and satisfaction with the results. If you are interested in restoring your own beautiful smile with the use of cosmetic dentures in Long Beach, give our friendly staff members a call at (562) 439-6562 today!
