What Are Dentures?
Dentures are custom-made replacement teeth set in a gum-colored base that restore chewing, speech, and the shape of your smile after tooth loss. A partial denture replaces several missing teeth and clips around the healthy teeth you still have. A full denture replaces every tooth in the upper or lower arch. An implant-supported denture attaches to dental implants in the jawbone, so it stays put when you eat and talk.
The right denture depends on how many teeth you're missing, how healthy the rest are, and how much stability you want.
Which Type of Denture Is Right for You?
Stop fixing one failing tooth at a time.

A retiree in Thousand Oaks had stopped ordering steak at family dinners. His partial clicked when he talked, and adhesive never quite held it.
At his free implant consultation, an in-office CT scan showed enough bone to place implants. The visiting implant specialist placed them on a scheduled day at the office, and Dr. Melina fitted a lab-made denture to attach to them. A few months later, steak was back on the menu.
How Getting Dentures Works
- Exam and options. Digital x-rays and scans show your teeth and gums on screen, and Dr. Melina explains which denture types fit your case.
- Removing failing teeth, if needed. The area is fully numbed, and nitrous oxide or oral sedation is available.
- Custom design. A dental lab builds your denture to match your bite, shade, and face, including small natural irregularities so the teeth don't look too perfect.
- Fitting and adjustments. Dr. Melina places the denture and fine-tunes the fit over follow-up visits.
How to Clean and Care for Your Dentures
Brush your dentures every day with a soft brush and a non-abrasive denture cleaner, and soak them overnight so they don't dry out.
Regular toothpaste is too abrasive and leaves scratches that collect stains and bacteria. Rinse them after meals, and handle them over a folded towel or a sink of water in case they slip. Brush your gums and tongue daily too.
Implant-supported dentures need care around the implants as well. A water flosser or floss threader keeps those areas clean, and regular checkups let Dr. Melina keep an eye on the implants and the fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most patients adjust within a few weeks to about a month. Sore spots are normal early on, and Dr. Melina adjusts the fit at follow-up visits.
Not always. Lab-made dentures are fitted closely to your gums, which reduces the need for adhesive. Implant-supported dentures attach to implants and don't rely on adhesive at all.
They're permanent in the sense that they're anchored to implants, not that they need no care. You'll still clean them daily and come in for regular checkups to keep the implants and gums healthy.
Dentures commonly last several years before they need relining or replacing. Your jaw changes shape over time, so regular checkups catch a loosening fit early.
