Dentures

What are dentures?

Dentures are artificial teeth that replace teeth you have lost. Missing teeth can make it harder to speak, chew, and smile comfortably. Tooth loss can come from many causes, including poor oral hygiene, poor nutrition, and genetic factors.

At Pure Cypress Dentist, our dentists talk with you about which type fits your mouth and your goals. Dentures can be removable, fixed to natural teeth, or supported by dental implants.

What types of dentures do you offer?

Removable partial dentures

Removable partial dentures fill the spaces left by missing teeth. They are a good option for people who are missing several teeth, but not all of them. Partial dentures are often searched for as dental partials or affordable partial dentures, and they are one of the most common solutions for patients who still have some natural teeth.

Fixed partial dentures (bridges)

A fixed partial uses a permanent bridge that is connected to existing natural teeth. Synthetic material is shaped to look natural. Because the bridge is fixed in place, you do not remove it each day the way you would a removable denture.

Full dentures

Complete dentures replace the entire upper set, the entire lower set, or both. If you have lost all of your teeth in one arch, a full denture is designed to restore your bite and your smile.

Dental implants and implant dentures

Dental implants are another way to support replacement teeth. Many people who wear removable dentures or bridges later choose implants because they can offer a more stable fit. Our office offers dental implants and All on 4 dental implants. Searches such as denture implants, all on 4 implant dentures, and implant dentures near me are answered by these options. Your dentist will explain whether implants are a good fit for your jaw and health.

Who are dentures for?

Dentures can help adults who have lost one tooth, several teeth, or all of their teeth in one or both arches. Many older adults wear dentures, and our team works with patients of all ages who want to restore their bite and smile.

If you grind or clench your teeth, tell your dentist. Bruxism can lead to broken dentures, loss of natural teeth, and other problems in the mouth, jaw, and face. Your dentist can check for these concerns as part of your exam and talk through ways to protect your teeth and any restorations.

What to expect at your visit

Most patients start with a free initial consultation. This is a good time to ask questions about the options that fit your needs, your budget, and your timeline.

During your visit, our team uses high-resolution digital imaging. This technology improves diagnostic accuracy while minimizing radiation compared to traditional film x-rays. Your records are kept electronically, which helps your dentist plan treatment with your full history in view.

After the exam, your dentist will explain the options and what each one involves. You can decide on a plan at your own pace.

Cost, insurance, and payment

The cost of dentures depends on the type you need, your oral health, and your treatment plan. Your dentist will give you a clear picture during your consultation.

Our office honors all true dental insurances, including PPO, Indemnity, Medi-Cal, Denti-Cal, Smile California, and CalOptima dental plans. How much your plan pays for dentures depends on the plan you have. We offer a complimentary insurance eligibility check before your visit, so you can understand your benefits. Our team also handles much of the insurance paperwork.

If you have questions about whether Medi-Cal or Denti-Cal covers dentures for you, the eligibility check is the best place to start. It gives you information about your own plan.

For payment, we offer payment plans, affordable payment options, and 0% financing. Our new patient specials include a $59 cleaning exam and x-rays, a free 2nd opinion, and a free Invisalign consultation.

Caring for your dentures

Adjusting to new dentures takes time. Many patients need a short period to get used to speaking and eating. If a denture feels sore or loose, contact our office so your dentist can look at it.

Daily care helps dentures last. Most dentists recommend removing removable dentures each day, cleaning them gently, and rinsing your mouth after meals. Your dentist will tell you how to store them and how to care for any bridge or implant-supported restoration.

Regular checkups help your dentist check the fit of your dentures, your gums, and your bite. Tell your dentist about any changes in your mouth, including grinding or clenching, so care can be adjusted as needed.
