Full Dentures in Newport Beach, CA
Smile Confidently With Modern, Comfortable Dentures
If you have lost all of your natural teeth in one or both arches, full dentures can restore your smile and your ability to eat and speak comfortably. Every set we make is custom-designed with your comfort, function and appearance in mind.
What Are Full Dentures?
Full dentures, also called complete dentures, replace all the teeth in your upper arch, your lower arch or both. A full denture is a removable set of artificial teeth set in a gum-colored base that rests on your gums. They are a reliable, affordable way for patients who have lost all of their natural teeth to restore their smile and their chewing function. We design each denture with digital impressions, panoramic X-rays and cone beam CT scanning, so it is shaped to your mouth with real precision. The result is a custom set that looks natural, fits comfortably and helps you speak and eat with confidence again.

Frequently Asked Questions About Full Dentures
- What are full dentures?
Full dentures, also called complete dentures, replace all the teeth in the upper arch, the lower arch or both. They are removable and rest on your gums. Each set is custom-designed for a natural look and fit. They suit patients who have lost all of their natural teeth in an arch.
- How are full dentures made?
Full dentures are made from accurate models of your mouth and bite. We use digital impressions, panoramic X-rays and cone beam CT scanning, or traditional molds, to capture those details. Your denture is then designed to fit you precisely. At the fitting, we make any adjustments needed for comfort.
- Will I have to go without teeth after my extractions?
Not if you choose immediate dentures. Immediate dentures are placed the same day your teeth are extracted, so you are never without teeth while you heal. We take impressions ahead of time and have your dentures ready on the day of surgery. Once your gums heal, we may recommend a reline or a new set for a long-term fit.
- Will dentures help me eat and speak normally?
Full dentures restore the ability to eat and chew a wider variety of foods. They also improve speech and facial appearance. There is an adjustment period as you get used to them. We explain what to expect and support you as you adjust.
- What if my dentures feel loose?
A loose denture can often be improved with a reline. A reline reshapes the fitting surface of the denture so it sits more closely on your gums. For more stability, implant-supported dentures snap onto dental implants placed in the jawbone. We will walk you through the options during your visit.
- Are implant-supported dentures better than full dentures?
Implant-supported dentures offer more stability, while traditional full dentures are a non-surgical, cost-effective choice. Dentures that snap onto implants avoid slipping and clicking and make it easier to chew tougher foods. They also help preserve the jawbone. Full dentures remain a reliable option for patients who prefer a removable, non-surgical treatment.
