Dentures

Introduction to Dentures

Do you spend your day worrying about if the person you’re talking to can see your missing teeth? Beyond that, is it hard to eat or even speak? These are real hurdles for many people in Los Angeles, and having ease of speaking and eating is the same level of luxury as clean water and air – it’s a no-brainer to a quality life. It’s time for the solution, with Signature Dental specializes in providing affordable full and partial dentures for patients. While many dentists have to refer out patients looking for this service, our dental team’s advanced training with “false teeth” allows us to offer several cost-effective denture options in Beverly Hills and restore the appearance of your life and smile. If you live in Los Angeles and are in need of dentures, keep reading and find what works best for you.

What Are Dentures?

 A denture, or a complete denture as it is often called, is an appliance inserted in the mouth, replacing natural teeth and providing support for the cheeks and lips. Dentures from our Beverly Hills practice are prosthetic devices constructed to replace missing teeth, supported by the surrounding soft and hard oral cavity tissues. Conventional dentures are removable. However, there are many denture designs, some of which rely on bonding or clasping onto teeth or dental implants. Most of the four dentures at Signature Dental are made of acrylic and can be fabricated in two different ways.

  • A conventional denture is made after all teeth have been extracted and the tissues (gums) have healed.
  • An immediate denture is fabricated and inserted immediately after the teeth are extracted, and the tissues are allowed to heal under the denture.
  • An upper denture has acrylic, usually flesh-colored, that covers the palate (roof of the mouth).
  • A lower denture is shaped like a horseshoe to leave room for the tongue.

The teeth are made of plastic, porcelain, or a combination of both. Dentures can be fabricated to fit over endodontically treated teeth, and a complete denture can be attached to dental implants to allow for a more secure fit of the appliance.

Dentures will wear over time and need to be replaced or relined to keep the jaw alignment normal. The alignment will slowly change as the bone and gum ridges recede or shrink due to tooth extraction. Regular dental examinations with us are still important for the denture wearer so that the oral tissues can be checked for disease or change.

How long
to see results?

Dramatic changes will happen within one week after immediate dentures in Beverly Hills. After all, you’ve gone from having your own natural teeth to using an artificial appliance for eating, talking, and smiling, and the results will be stunning.

What to Expect On The Day Of Dentures

On the day of your Denures treatment in Beverly Hills, you will be treated with care and detail. Every millimeter counts for your comfort when constructing your dentures. When fitted for new dentures, it’s very common that our team will need to extract some teeth still in your jaw. If you’ve opted for conventional dentures, you won’t receive your dentures for two or three months until your jaw and gums have completely healed. If you’ve opted for immediate dentures, you’ll leave our office after your extractions with dentures in place. 

Dentures Recovery

Your recovery is important for your denture’s success. Don’t be discouraged if it takes you a little while to learn to eat hard and chewy foods like steak and apple as they typically require a gradual learning curve. Be patient with your speech as well. Learning to talk with your new dentures in place will require some patience and practice. To relearn your normal speech, we recommend reading aloud. Expect some sore spots. You will likely develop some sore spots during your first few days with your immediate dentures. These sore spots will diminish as time passes, and your dentures become routine to your mouth.
