Types of Dentures

Dr. Haddad offers various types of dentures to accommodate every patient’s needs. During your consultation, we will review all your tooth replacement options with you and help you decide which one will work best for you. Here, we discuss the different types of dentures we offer. This should help you begin deciding which one will work with your budget, wants, and oral health needs.

Full Dentures

Full dentures, also known as complete dentures, are removable dental prosthetics that replace an entire set of teeth on the upper or lower jaw or both. We can create a full denture that will resemble your natural teeth and gums. They will restore your chewing and speech functions, as well as enhance your facial appearance. Complete dentures can work for anyone who has lost their natural teeth due to age, decay, or other dental issues. They are custom-made to fit in each patient’s mouth perfectly. They will remain in place with suction and adhesive if necessary. Dentures require proper care and maintenance to ensure their longevity and to make sure they will fit properly for as long as possible.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are much like a dental bridge because they are ideal for replacing multiple missing teeth. They are removable dental appliances that you can use when you have some natural teeth still remain in the upper or lower jaw. A partial consists of artificial teeth attached to a metal or acrylic framework that fits snugly around the existing teeth and against the gums. They help to restore functionality and aesthetics, improving chewing, speech, and appearance. These prosthetics help prevent the shifting of remaining teeth and provide support to the surrounding oral structures. Careful maintenance and periodic adjustments by dental professionals are important to ensure proper fit, comfort, and longevity of partial dentures.

Dental Implant Secured Dentures

Using dental implants to secure your denture is the best option available. A dental implant-secured denture is a type of dental restoration that is fixed in place, providing a permanent solution for tooth loss. Your dentist will place several dental implants into the jawbone along the top or bottom arch. Then, they will attach a denture to those implant fixtures. This offers improved retention which will minimize teeth movement while chewing or speaking. The dental implants provide a strong foundation for the denture, allowing you to feel comfortable and confident wearing them. Using dental implants to secure a denture will ensure a secure fit and reduce many common issues people often face with removable, full dentures. However, regular checkups and maintenance are still necessary for the best results.

What to Expect When Receiving Dentures in Oxnard, CA

If you are missing teeth or are struggling with an ill fitted denture, Dr. Haddad and our Beach City dental care team can help you regain the function, form, and aesthetics of your smile.

Dr. Haddad works one-on-one with each patient to determine the best course of treatment that will improve their oral health and quality of life. What sets Dr. Haddad apart is her dedication to every patient’s well-being, looking beyond the teeth to ensure total oral health that supports a high quality of life.

If you choose to get a partial denture or a full denture, the process is very different compared to implant supported denture process. Depending on your individual treatment plan, replacing your missing teeth with a denture can take 2 to 3 visits to our Oxnard dentist’s office.

During your first visit, Dr. Haddad will take impressions of your teeth and measurements, which will be used to fabricate your custom denture. The prosthesis will be color-matched to blend in naturally with your remaining teeth. We will also ensure that the shape and size of your false teeth are proportionate to your mouth. Our goal is to create a denture that looks as natural as possible.

At your next visit, we will make sure the denture fits properly and can make adjustments if needed. We will show you how to care for your new teeth properly so that they last as long as possible. It may take several weeks or months to adjust to wearing false teeth. It is important to wear them and use them as much as possible to acclimate.

What is the Process Like to Receive an Implant-Supported Denture?

If you choose to use dental implants to support your denture, the process is much much different. Our dental care team will help walk you through the entire process. Dr. Haddad offers comprehensive in-house dental implant treatment for convenience and high-quality results.

Receiving an implant-supported denture involves several steps. We will first evaluate your oral health and create a treatment plan that takes into consideration the current state of your oral health and needs.

The first phase is to surgically insert the dental implants into the jawbone. Then you will need a few months to heal and allow the implants to fuse to the jawbone. Once the implants have integrated to the bone, then we’ll attach the abutments which serve as the connecting pieces for the implants and the denture.

The next phase is to begin creating the custom denture. We will take impressions and measurements so it can be custom fabricated to fit seamlessly in your smile. The denture will fit securely onto the abutments. Once it is affixed, it will provide improved stability, comfort, and functionality.

Benefits of Dental Implant Secured Dentures

Dental implant-secured dentures provide many added benefits. Patients who choose implant-secured dentures or All-On-Four dentures enjoy a more stable bite, fuller jaw function, and confidence that their denture will not slip. Dental implant-secured dentures also help to stimulate natural bone growth and can prevent further damage to teeth and gums.
