Our team in Thousand Oaks specializes in creating high-quality, custom dentures that not only look natural but also feel comfortable. Whether you need full or partial dentures, we are here to help you regain your smile and improve your daily life.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable dental devices designed to replace missing teeth. They are made from materials like acrylic, porcelain, or a combination of both, designed to mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth. Dentures are an effective solution for individuals who have lost multiple teeth due to aging, injury, decay, or other oral health issues.

There are two main types of dentures:

  • Full Dentures: These replace all the teeth in a full arch, whether upper or lower. Full dentures restore a complete smile and provide the ability to chew and speak properly.
  • Partial Dentures: These are used when some natural teeth remain. Partial dentures fill in the gaps and help prevent remaining teeth from shifting out of alignment.

At Clove Dental in Thousand Oaks, we take pride in offering a variety of denture options to suit your individual needs and preferences.

Signs You Might Need Dentures

If you're experiencing any of the following symptoms, dentures may be the solution you're looking for:
  • Difficulty Chewing: Missing teeth can make it challenging to eat certain foods, which may affect your digestion and overall nutrition.
  • Loose or Shifting Teeth: Teeth that are shifting or loose can cause discomfort and make it difficult to bite or chew properly.
  • Sensitive Gums or Pain: Gaps left by missing teeth can expose sensitive gums, causing pain or discomfort.
  • A Self-Conscious Smile: Missing teeth can significantly affect the appearance of your smile, leaving you feeling embarrassed or hesitant to show your teeth.
  • Speech Impairments: Missing teeth can make speaking clearly more difficult, affecting how you communicate with others.

 

If you recognize any of these signs, it’s a good idea to schedule a consultation with our team in Thousand Oaks to determine if dentures are the right solution for you.

The Denture Process

At Clove Dental, we ensure that the process of getting dentures is as smooth and comfortable as possible. The procedure is typically completed in several steps:

  1. Consultation & Evaluation: During your initial consultation, we’ll evaluate your oral health and discuss your goals. We’ll take impressions of your mouth and may perform additional diagnostic tests to help design your custom dentures.
  2. Custom Design & Fabrication: After gathering all necessary information, we’ll design dentures tailored to your mouth’s unique shape and size. We focus on both aesthetics and function to ensure your new dentures complement your smile and restore full functionality.
  3. Fitting & Adjustments: Once your dentures are crafted, we’ll schedule a fitting appointment. During this appointment, we’ll ensure that the dentures fit comfortably and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit.
  4. Follow-Up Care & Adjustments: After your dentures are placed, we’ll monitor the fit over time and make adjustments as needed to keep you comfortable. We’ll also provide guidance on how to care for your dentures and keep them in great condition.
