Dentures & Partial Dentures: A Solution for Missing Teeth

At Complete Health Dentistry SoCal in Poway, California, we understand the impact that missing teeth can have on your daily life, your self-esteem, and your overall health. Our goal is to provide you with a comfortable, natural-looking tooth replacement solution that will restore your smile to its former beauty and functionality.

Our team, led by Dr. Erela Katz Rappaport, takes a precision-focused and personalized approach to designing and fitting dentures and partial dentures. We work closely with you throughout the process, taking multiple impressions and molds of your mouth to ensure a proper fit that feels as natural as possible.

Partials - These replacement teeth and gum tissue are custom-made from dental materials such as acrylic, matched to the color of your natural teeth and gums. The denture sits on a metal framework that connects to your remaining healthy teeth.

Complete or full dentures - If you do not have any remaining healthy teeth, either in the upper or lower arch, we can provide you with complete dentures. These dentures do not connect to teeth like partials, but instead rely on natural suction and conforming to the contours of your mouth for stability. Denture adhesive and other products can also help with comfort and retention.

Our skilled denture lab uses the accurate information collected about your mouth to create your new teeth and gums, using a process that involves taking several impressions or models of your mouth. In some cases, we can provide an immediate denture after teeth are extracted, but a permanent, well-fitting denture can only be made after the extraction sites have healed and any swelling has gone down.

At Complete Health Dentistry of SoCal, we want you to forget you are even wearing dentures. To achieve this, we partner with you throughout the adjustment process, providing tips and support on speaking, eating, and maintaining your dentures. Regular visits with our team will help ensure that you are happy with your dentures and that any adjustments or repairs are made as needed.

In addition to traditional dentures, we can also discuss implant-supported dentures, a modern and stable option that is anchored in your mouth by dental implants.
