Dentures
Missing teeth can affect your confidence, your speech, and your ability to enjoy the foods you love. At Valley Dental Turlock, custom dentures offer a comfortable, natural-looking way to restore a complete smile, whether you are missing a few teeth or a full arch.
Dentures are realistic replacement teeth used to mask missing teeth, similar in purpose to bridges. Unlike bridges and crowns, however, dentures are removable, making them a flexible and affordable option for many patients throughout the Turlock area.
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are realistic replacement teeth used to mask missing teeth. Like bridges, they restore the look of a complete smile, but unlike bridges and crowns, dentures are removable. Depending on how many teeth need to be replaced, you may need partial dentures or full dentures.
If all of your natural teeth have been removed, full dentures provide a complete set of teeth. If you still have some natural teeth, partial dentures fill in the spaces where permanent teeth are missing. Either way, Dr. Ahmadi customizes each set to fit comfortably and look as natural as possible, helping you speak, chew, and smile with confidence.
Caring for Your Dentures
Dentures should be cared for just like natural teeth. Brush them every day and keep them moist when they are not in use to help them maintain their shape. Even if you wear full dentures, it remains important to keep your gums and tongue clean in addition to the dentures themselves, this protects your oral health and keeps your mouth feeling fresh.
At Valley Dental Turlock, we will show you exactly how to clean and store your dentures and answer any questions about daily care. Regular checkups also help us confirm that your dentures continue to fit well over time.
Is a Denture Right for You?
Dentures are an excellent, budget-friendly choice for replacing missing teeth, but they are not the only option. For patients who want a permanent, non-removable solution, dental implants preserve the jawbone and function much like natural teeth. During your consultation, Dr. Ahmadi will review your needs and goals and help you choose between dentures, bridges, and implants so you can make a confident, informed decision.
