How Dentures Restore Your Smile
Dentures are removable appliances that replace missing teeth and the surrounding gum tissue. Full dentures restore an entire arch of teeth at once, while partial dentures fill individual gaps alongside healthy teeth. Implant-supported dentures clip onto dental implants for extra stability and help preserve jawbone health. Each set is custom-made to fit comfortably and look just like your natural smile.
Your Denture Options
We offer three main kinds of dentures at Saddleback Dental: Full Dentures replace all teeth in an arch; Partial Dentures fill gaps next to your remaining teeth; Implant-Supported Dentures snap onto implants for a secure, long-lasting fit. We’ll help you choose the right type based on your oral health and lifestyle needs.
What to Expect
It’s normal for new dentures to feel loose or cause mild soreness at first as your mouth adapts. You may notice extra saliva or difficulty speaking and chewing—this usually improves within a few weeks. We’ll schedule follow-up visits to fine-tune the fit, address any sore spots, and share tips for speaking and eating with confidence.

Maintenance Tips
To keep your dentures in top shape and ensure they last as long as possible, it is important to brush them daily with a soft brush and a specialized denture cleaner.
Additionally, soaking them overnight in a cleansing solution is crucial for maintaining hygiene and preventing any buildup of bacteria.
Always remember to handle your dentures gently to avoid damaging them. Regular dental check-ups are essential as they allow us to catch any potential issues early on, helping you maintain optimal oral health and the functionality of your dentures.
