Types of Dentures We Offer

Dentures come in many forms, and the right option depends on your dental health, lifestyle, and goals. Our Sacremento dental practice offers a variety of solutions for restoring your smile and improving your quality of life.

Full

Full dentures are designed for patients who have lost all teeth in the upper or lower jaw. These prostheses restore your facial appearance, support natural speech, and make it easier to enjoy everyday meals.

Commonly made from acrylic bases with acrylic or porcelain teeth, full dentures are custom-crafted to fit securely and blend with your natural features.

Partial

Partial dentures are ideal when some healthy natural teeth remain. They fill gaps with replacement teeth and secure the denture in place with clasps or precision attachments.

Because they are customized to blend with your existing smile, these provide both function and a seamless, natural appearance.

Implant-Supported

Implant-supported dentures are anchored directly to dental implants placed in the jawbone. This option offers greater stability than traditional removable appliances, ensuring your new prosthesis stays secure and does not shift out of place.

The process typically includes implant placement, a healing period, and attachment of the final denture. Patients with sufficient bone density are excellent candidates for this approach.

Implant-Retained

Implant-retained restorations, often called snap-in dentures, are removable tooth replacements that attach securely to 2–4 strategically placed implants.

This treatment option provides more comfort and function than traditional removable appliances, while still allowing you to take them out for cleaning. It’s an excellent balance between cost and long-term stability.

Fixed Hybrid

Fixed hybrid dentures are a permanent full-arch solution anchored to four to six implants. Unlike removable appliances, these are secured in place and can only be removed by a dentist.

This option offers unmatched stability, natural esthetics, and chewing ability. Many patients who want a permanent alternative to traditional tooth replacements find these to be the closest match to their natural teeth.

Overdentures

Overdentures are designed to fit over remaining natural teeth or implants for added stability. This type of restoration provides greater retention than conventional removable appliances by preserving existing roots or utilizing a few implants.

All-on-X

All-on-X dentures represent a modern, fixed full-arch solution supported by four or more implants. This technique often allows patients to leave the office with a new set of teeth in just one day.

Benefits include immediate results, reduced cost compared to individual implants, and less need for bone grafting.

Which Denture Type Is Right for Me?

The best tooth replacement option for you depends on your oral health, bone density, and personal preferences. Each factor is carefully evaluated before recommending a plan, including your bite and esthetic goals.

  • Full or partial removable solutions may suit those seeking a faster or non-surgical approach.
  • Implant-retained are ideal if you want more stability without committing to full fixed treatment.
  • Fixed hybrid or All-on-X provide the closest experience to natural teeth.

If you’re weighing both approaches, you may also find it helpful to compare traditional dentures with dental implants.

What to Expect: Treatment Timeline

Every denture journey starts with a personalized consultation. Dr. Miyasaki and our team will review your oral health, discuss your goals, and create a plan.

  • Consultation and planning include records, photos, and digital imaging.
  • Try-ins and fittings ensure aesthetics and function before the final set is made.
  • Implant-based dentures require implant placement and healing before attaching the final prosthesis.
  • Follow-up visits allow us to fine-tune your fit and comfort.

Life With Dentures: Care and Maintenance

Proper care extends the life of your restorations and keeps your mouth healthy. Removable appliances should be cleaned daily, while implant-supported options require at-home hygiene and professional maintenance.

Regular check-ups allow us to adjust your prosthesis as your gums and bone change over time. If you notice discomfort or looseness, we can make timely relines or adjustments.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dentures

Dentures can be full, partial, implant-retained, implant-supported, fixed hybrid, or overdentures. Depending on your oral health and personal preferences, each option is designed to restore your ability to chew, speak, and smile comfortably.

The right denture depends on your dental health, bone density, lifestyle, and goals. During your consultation, Dr. Miyasaki and our team will evaluate your needs and recommend the best balance of comfort, function, and appearance.

Modern dentures are designed to fit comfortably and securely. While an adjustment period can be short, most patients adapt quickly, and implant-based options greatly reduce the risk of slipping or irritation.

Yes. Today’s dentures are custom-made to match the shape of your face and the color of your gums and teeth. When crafted with quality materials, they can look natural and restore your confidence in smiling.

Removable dentures should be cleaned daily with a denture brush and stored in water overnight. Implant-supported dentures require brushing and flossing around the implants and regular checkups to ensure long-term health.

It may take a few weeks to feel completely comfortable with new dentures. Practicing speech, eating softer foods at first, and following our care instructions can help speed up the adjustment period.

Some patients notice slight changes in their speech when first wearing dentures, but this usually improves quickly. With time and practice, most people speak clearly and confidently.

Yes. Partial dentures are designed for patients with remaining teeth, filling the gaps while blending seamlessly with your natural smile. Overdentures may also be an option if you have healthy roots supporting added stability.
