Dentures
Dentures in Woodland Hills, CA, are a means of replacing missing teeth practically and affordably. And we offer a few types of dentures, including partials and implant options, to meet your needs.
Complete Removable Dentures
Complete removable dentures start with a gum-colored plate customized in the shade and fit to set snugly over the gum. This solution is for total tooth loss on your mouth's top or bottom arch. This denture type depends on gravity and gum contours for stability.
Partial Removable Dentures
These work similarly to complete dentures, but we strategically place restoration teeth on the arch to fill in only where your teeth are missing. In addition, these prosthetics work with gravity, gum contours, healthy neighboring teeth, and special clips for support.
Implant-Supported Dentures
We offer both removable implant dentures and a fixed option. Four to six dental implants are placed in the gum to add additional support to a prosthetic. The choice may be fixed (only removable by your dentist) or non-fixed (a bit like a snap-in option).

When you lose teeth it is important to consider replacing them for several reasons. When you are missing teeth, you can start becoming self-conscious about your smile. People often start to change the way they behave in public and around friends and family because they are embarrassed of their smiles. Teeth can also start shifting after a while similar to pulling a book out of a bookcase. When you pull the book out the books next door fall into the space left by the book you removed. Teeth behave very similarly. Teeth next door drift in to fill the space and the tooth above and below can also erupt out of its socket to fill the space. Once this happens you may need expensive braces to correct the problem and create space for the tooth replacement.
