What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable dental devices designed to replace missing teeth and restore your smile's full function. These appliances are crafted from materials like acrylic, porcelain, or a combination of both, ensuring they look and feel as natural as possible. Dentures can be customized to fit your mouth perfectly, allowing you to speak, eat, and smile with ease.

There are two main types of dentures:

  • Full Dentures: If all of your teeth are missing, full dentures replace an entire set of upper or lower teeth, providing a full restoration of your smile and chewing ability.
  • Partial Dentures: When only some teeth are missing, partial dentures fill the gaps while keeping your remaining natural teeth in place and stable.

Whether you're looking to replace a few teeth or need a full arch replacement, we offer a wide range of options tailored to your needs.

Signs You Might Need Dentures

If you are dealing with any of the following symptoms, dentures might be the right solution for you:
  • Difficulty Eating Certain Foods: Missing teeth make it harder to chew, especially tougher foods, which could lead to digestive issues or nutritional deficiencies.
  • Loose or Missing Teeth: Teeth can shift over time, or even cause pain, if there are gaps in your smile.
  • Pain or Gum Sensitivity: Gaps in your teeth or the loss of multiple teeth can make your gums more sensitive or prone to irritation.
  • Embarrassment About Your Smile: When teeth are missing, it can cause embarrassment or insecurity, affecting your social and professional interactions.
  • Slurred or Difficult Speech: Missing teeth can alter how you speak, making it harder to pronounce words or even leading to self-consciousness when talking.

Benefits of Dentures

Dentures offer numerous benefits, including both functional and aesthetic improvements:

Improved Functionality
Dentures restore your ability to chew, bite, and speak comfortably, enhancing your overall daily life.
Enhanced Appearance
Dentures are custom-made to look like natural teeth, giving you a youthful and attractive smile.
Comfortable Fit
Thanks to our precise fitting techniques, dentures are made to feel comfortable in your mouth and stay securely in place.
Prevents Further Dental Issues
Dentures help to maintain the alignment of your remaining natural teeth, preventing them from shifting.

The Denture Process

Getting dentures involves several steps to ensure that your new teeth fit well and meet your expectations. Here's how we make the process seamless at Clove Dental in Camarillo:
  1. Consultation & Examination: During your initial appointment, we assess your oral health and discuss your concerns and goals. We may take X-rays and impressions of your mouth to help guide the process.
  2. Custom Design & Fabrication: Once we have a clear understanding of your needs, our team will design your custom dentures, ensuring they fit your mouth perfectly. We work with you to choose the ideal shape, color, and material for your dentures.
  3. Fitting & Adjustment: When your dentures are ready, we’ll schedule a fitting appointment. This is when we ensure the dentures are comfortable and make any adjustments to guarantee a perfect fit.
  4. Ongoing Care & Adjustments: After your dentures are placed, we'll schedule follow-up appointments to monitor the fit and make any necessary adjustments as you get used to your new teeth. We also provide guidance on caring for your dentures to keep them in optimal condition.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dentures

How long does it take to get dentures?
The entire process typically takes a few weeks, as it involves custom crafting your dentures for the best fit. This includes time for fittings and adjustments.
Will my dentures look natural?
Yes! Our team at Clove Dental ensures that your dentures are designed to mimic the appearance of natural teeth. From color to shape, your dentures will blend seamlessly with your smile.
Can adults get dental sealants?
Absolutely! While sealants are commonly recommended for children and teens, adults with cavity-prone teeth can also benefit.
How do I care for my dentures?
To care for your dentures, brush them daily using a soft-bristled toothbrush and denture cleaner. Avoid using regular toothpaste, as it can scratch the surface. Also, remove your dentures overnight to give your gums a break and store them in water or a cleaning solution.

You may need to start with soft foods to allow your gums to adjust. Over time, as you become accustomed to your new dentures, you can return to your regular diet.

Most dental insurance plans provide partial coverage for dentures. We recommend checking with your provider to determine the exact coverage. At Clove Dental, we also offer flexible payment options to make your treatment more affordable.
