Denture Services in Encino

Missing teeth can impact much more than your appearance; they can affect your ability to eat, speak, and feel confident in social settings. At our Encino dental clinic, we understand how these challenges affect daily life, and we’re here to help with custom-fitted dentures that restore function, comfort, and natural aesthetics.

Our denture solutions are designed with precision and artistry, helping you regain your smile, maintain facial support, and enjoy life with greater ease, whether you're enjoying your favorite meals or reconnecting with those around you.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore essential oral function. They are customized to fit the unique contours of your mouth while providing the durability and stability needed for everyday activities like chewing, speaking, and smiling.

At our Encino practice, we offer two primary types of dentures:

  • Complete Dentures: Full arch replacements for patients who have lost all their teeth in the upper, lower, or both jaws.
  • Partial Dentures: Designed for patients with some remaining healthy teeth, these prosthetics fill gaps and prevent shifting.

Each denture we provide is crafted with high-quality materials that closely replicate the look and texture of natural teeth and gums for a lifelike result.

Signs You May Need Dentures

Recognizing when dentures may be right for you can help you take control of your oral health. Consider a consultation if you experience:

  • Difficulty chewing or avoiding certain foods
  • Loose teeth or multiple teeth at risk
  • A sunken facial appearance or changes in your jawline
  • Trouble speaking clearly or changes in speech
  • Decreased self-confidence due to visible tooth loss

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I care for my dentures overnight?
Keep them moist by placing them in cool water or a dentist-approved cleaning solution. Letting dentures dry out can cause them to warp and affect their fit.
How long does the full denture process take?
The full process usually takes 4–6 appointments over a 5–7 week period, allowing time for fittings, adjustments, and final placement.
Do I wear dentures 24/7?
Conventional dentures should be removed at night to give your gums a rest. Implant-supported dentures may allow for continuous wear depending on your case.
What’s the best way to clean dentures?
Use a soft denture brush and a non-abrasive denture cleaner daily. Avoid using regular toothpaste, which can scratch the denture surface.
