Understanding Dentures

Dentures are removable appliances designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. Whether you’re missing all your teeth (requiring complete dentures) or just some teeth (requiring partial dentures), these custom-made prosthetics can dramatically improve your quality of life. Modern dentures are crafted to closely resemble your natural teeth, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits while supporting facial muscles to prevent the sagging look that often occurs with tooth loss.

Benefits of Dentures

Prevention of Bone Loss

Dentures designed with proper support help stimulate the jawbone, reducing the rate of bone resorption that typically follows tooth loss. This preservation of bone structure maintains facial integrity and can prevent the accelerated aging appearance that often accompanies significant bone deterioration. Advanced denture designs from Dr. Soltani specifically address this concern, offering long-term benefits beyond just tooth replacement.

Cost-Effective Tooth Replacement

Compared to other tooth replacement options, dentures provide a comprehensive solution at a more accessible price point. They address multiple missing teeth with a single appliance, eliminating the need for individual tooth replacements. The investment delivers substantial returns in both functionality and appearance, making dentures an economical choice for restoring your smile.

Quick Adaptation Period

Most patients adapt to their new dentures within two to four weeks, much faster than anticipated. Your mouth naturally adjusts to the presence of dentures, and any initial discomfort typically subsides quickly. Dr. Soltani’s precision-fitting techniques at Advanced Torrance Dental Group specifically minimize this adjustment period, helping you return to normal activities sooner.

Protection for Remaining Teeth

Partial dentures prevent neighboring natural teeth from shifting into gaps created by missing teeth. This stabilization helps maintain proper alignment and bite function while reducing stress on your remaining teeth. The strategic design distributes biting forces evenly across your dental arch, potentially extending the lifespan of your natural teeth and preventing future tooth loss.

Non-Invasive Procedure

Unlike implants that require surgery, dentures involve non-surgical procedures that are gentler on your body. The process typically requires only impressions and fittings, making it suitable for patients with certain health conditions that might preclude surgical interventions. This accessibility ensures that virtually all patients can benefit from tooth replacement, regardless of health status or age.

Our Denture Fitting Process

Comprehensive Smile Assessment

Dr. Soltani begins with a thorough evaluation of your oral structure, remaining teeth, gum health, and bite alignment to establish the foundation for successful dentures. During this detailed assessment, we discuss your expectations regarding appearance, comfort, and functionality. We take the time to understand your lifestyle needs and preferences, ensuring your dentures will seamlessly integrate into your daily activities.

Precision Impression Technique

Using advanced impression materials, we capture the exact contours of your mouth with remarkable accuracy. These precise impressions serve as the blueprint for creating dentures that fit snugly against your gums without causing pressure points. Dr. Soltani personally oversees this critical step at Advanced Torrance Dental Group, as the quality of these impressions directly influences your future comfort.

Custom Design Consultation

You’ll actively participate in designing the appearance of your new smile, selecting tooth shape, size, and color that complement your facial features and personal preferences. We consider factors like your face shape, skin tone, and even old photos to recreate your natural smile or design the smile you’ve always wanted. This collaborative approach ensures your complete satisfaction with the final aesthetic result.

Personalized Adaptation Support

Once you receive your finished dentures, Dr. Soltani provides customized guidance to help you adapt quickly to speaking, eating, and caring for your new teeth. We schedule strategic follow-up appointments to address any minor adjustments needed as your mouth naturally adapts to the dentures. Your comfort remains our priority throughout this transition period, with our team readily available to answer questions and provide support.

FAQs

What are dentures?

Dentures are removable prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. Complete dentures replace all teeth in an arch, while partial dentures replace only some missing teeth while using remaining natural teeth for support. These custom-made appliances are created to match your natural teeth in appearance while restoring vital functions like eating and speaking.

How to clean dentures?

Dentures should be brushed daily using a soft-bristled brush and a non-abrasive denture cleaner to remove food and plaque. Always clean your dentures over a folded towel or basin of water to prevent damage if they’re dropped. Soak dentures overnight in a denture-cleaning solution to remove stains and bacteria, and rinse thoroughly before placing them back in your mouth.

What are dentures made of?

Modern dentures typically consist of a gum-colored acrylic resin base that fits over your gums, with prosthetic teeth made from either porcelain or resin attached to this base. Porcelain teeth closely resemble natural tooth enamel in appearance but can be more brittle, while resin teeth are lighter and bond better to the base material. Some partial dentures may include a metal framework for added strength and stability.

How long do dentures last?

With proper care and maintenance, dentures typically last between 5-10 years before needing replacement. Normal wear, changes in your mouth’s shape, and general aging of the denture materials all contribute to the eventual need for replacement. Regular dental check-ups allow Dr. Soltani to assess the condition of your dentures and determine when adjustments or replacements might be necessary.

Can you eat with dentures?

Yes, you can eat most foods with dentures, though a brief adjustment period is necessary when first wearing them. Start with soft foods cut into small pieces, and gradually introduce more challenging foods as you become comfortable. Avoid extremely hard or sticky foods that might damage dentures or cause them to dislodge, and distribute food evenly on both sides of your mouth when chewing for better stability.
