Restore Your Quality of Life

A Trusted Restorative Solution

Dentures are dental restorations which consist of artificial teeth and a gum-colored acrylic base. Depending on your needs, Dr. Valenzuela can use dentures to replace all the teeth in your upper or lower jaw or fill partial gaps in your smile. 

We use only high-quality materials to craft our custom dentures at Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry Center to ensure your restoration looks natural and fits comfortably into your smile. As a skilled implant dentist, Dr. Valenzuela can also attach your dentures to dental implants for improved stability.

Exploring Your Options

When it comes to dentures, a variety of solutions are available. This allows Dr. Valenzuela to tailor treatment to suit your goals, needs, and budget. 

Full Traditional Dentures

Also known as a complete denture, this type of restoration replaces all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw, or both. Traditional dentures are removable and fit over the top of your gums. 

Since this type of denture relies on suction and dental adhesive for support, it does not offer the highest level of stability. However, a traditional denture is typically the most affordable solution for extensive tooth loss.

Partial Traditional Dentures

A partial denture generally consists of artificial teeth, an acrylic base, and small metal hooks which attach to nearby teeth. A partial is generally used when one or more teeth remain in the upper or lower jaw. This type of denture can be removable or bonded into place for added security. 

Implant-Supported Dentures

Attaching dentures to dental implants eliminates many of the common complaints associated with this type of restoration. Dr. Valenzuela can embed the small titanium posts into your jaw and then attach the denture for a more natural-looking, comfortable, and stable result. We offer all stages of implant treatment at our office, including preparatory procedures such as bone grafts and sinus lifts. 

While finding the right solution can seem overwhelming, we can walk you through every stage of the process and help you choose the denture most suited to your unique needs. 

Implant-supported dentures are more expensive than their traditional counterparts. In addition, they require a surgical procedure, which not all patients can undergo. If you do qualify for implants, however, Dr. Valenzuela can often use the advanced Teeth in a Day method to place implants and a temporary restoration all in a single appointment.

The All-on-4® System

All-on-4 is an advanced implant method which allows Dr. Valenzuela to support a full denture with four strategically placed dental implants. This system is an excellent alternative for patients who have lost tissue in their jaw bone (a side effect of tooth loss), but do not want to undergo bone grafting. It is also more cost-effective than the typical six to eight posts required for an implant-supported denture.

Living with extensive tooth loss can make you feel self-conscious about your smile and diminish your overall quality of life.
