What are Dentures?
Dentures are removable appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore the function and appearance of your smile. Custom-made for a comfortable fit, they can be easily removed for cleaning or while sleeping. At Torrance Dental Spa, we offer two types of dentures:
Types of Dentures We Offer
Depending on how many missing teeth you have, you may choose from different types of denture designs. Some replace all of your teeth at once, while others fit in around the healthy teeth you still have. And in some cases, you can even wear dentures that snap on top of dental implants.
Full Dentures
Perfect for patients needing a complete set of teeth, full dentures are tailored to fit snugly and comfortably. These dentures mimic the look and feel of your natural teeth, bringing back the joy and confidence of a full, functional smile. They are aesthetically pleasing, durable, and crafted for everyday use.
Partial Dentures
Ideal for patients with some remaining natural teeth, partial dentures blend seamlessly with your existing teeth. They help align your natural teeth and prevent shifting, filling in the gaps. This option allows you to enjoy a natural smile and maintain your mouth’s structure.
Implant-Supported Dentures/Overdentures
Implant-stabilized dentures look like traditional dentures, except they have special locators underneath them that snap onto corresponding dental implants. In most cases, anywhere from 2-4 dental implants are needed. Overdentures are easy to clean and care for, and there’s no need for messy adhesives or pastes. They work well for people with bone loss or jaw shrinkage, as the implants provide added support to reinforce the denture throughout the day. Implant-supported dentures tend to be more comfortable and easier to eat with.

Getting Dentures in Torrance, CA
At Torrance Dental Spa, getting your new dentures is a smooth process. During your appointment with Dr. Maral, you’ll experience:

- Measurements: We craft dentures that fit perfectly in your mouth using precise impressions and measurements.

Adjusting to Your New Denture
If you’ve ever had to “break in” a new pair of leather boots, getting used to dentures is a similar process. The longer you wear them, the more comfortable they’ll begin to feel in your mouth. In the beginning, you’ll probably want to practice speaking in front of a mirror or taking smaller bites of food. After a few weeks, you should feel fairly confident in your denture.
Benefits of Dentures
Even with other types of tooth replacement treatments in Torrance, dentures remain to be one of the most popular options available. Why? Because of how quickly they can be curated to the patient and their affordability. No matter how many missing teeth you have, dentures can enhance your quality of life and confidence, even if you’re on a tight budget.
How to Care for Your New Dentures
Daily denture maintenance and home care can help you get the most out of your new appliance. The better you care for your dentures, the longer they’ll last. Here are some important guidelines to follow:
- Never sleep in your denture. Remove it each night.
- Soak your dentures using an approved denture solution as directed by our Torrance dentist.
- Every morning and evening, brush your dentures with a soft denture brush or toothbrush and lukewarm tap water.
- Never use hot water to clean your denture, as high temperatures could cause warping in the acrylic.
- Do not use bleach, abrasive pastes, or baking soda, as these can damage or scratch your dentures and cause them to harbor bacteria.
- Hold your denture over a towel when cleaning it. That way, if you accidentally drop it, it’s less likely to break.
- Bring your denture with you to your regularly scheduled six-month checkups to have it evaluated.
If your denture rubs or feels uncomfortable, contact our Torrance dentist. Occasional adjustments or denture relines are sometimes needed as your jaw shape is likely to change over time.
At Torrance Dental Spa, we offer beautiful, natural, and custom well-fitted dentures to replace your missing teeth and improve your health and appearance.
Cost of Dentures
The affordable price of dentures makes them an excellent choice to replace missing teeth (especially when you’re working with a tight budget.) Most insurance plans will also cover at least a portion of the denture cost. Depending on the type of denture you choose and the materials used, average denture prices tend to vary between $300 to $1800 per appliance. Implant-supported dentures do cost more than traditional “plates,” as implant installation is also required.
