Dentures in Northridge, CA
Dentures and partial dentures are artificial teeth and gums, formed to your mouth specifically, that replace teeth which have fallen out or been extracted. They can be full or partial, meaning they replace every tooth on the top or bottom arch, or fill in just the few that are missing.
They are also a genuine solution when your remaining teeth are the problem. Teeth with rotted roots or severe damage cause ongoing pain and oral health issues. Having dentures fitted means those troublesome teeth are removed and replaced with something stable and comfortable.
What dentures do for you
Restore your smile
They improve the appearance of a smile with multiple missing teeth, which for most patients is the first thing they notice.
Support your face
Dentures keep the structure of your mouth sound by supporting the cheeks and lips. Without that support, the face can start to look sunken.
Eat normally again
You can go back to foods that require chewing, so you do not have to change your diet or the way you eat around what your mouth can manage.
Made for your mouth
Comfortable to wear, natural looking, durable, and customized to your preferences rather than adapted from a standard mold.
If you are missing multiple teeth and weighing your options, it is worth comparing dentures against implants and bridges before deciding. Contact us to schedule a consultation with one of our restorative dentistry experts and we will walk you through what each one would actually mean for you.
Frequently asked questions about dentures

That is much of the point. Dentures let you go back to eating foods that require chewing, so you do not have to reshape your diet around what you can manage. There is an adjustment period while you get used to them.
They help. When teeth are missing, the cheeks and lips lose their support and the face can start to look sunken. Dentures restore that structure, which is a benefit people often do not anticipate.
