Types of Dental Dentures in North Hollywood

Full dentures - Plates

Full Dentures (“Plates”)

Conventional dentures are traditional prosthetics that replace all of your teeth in your upper or lower arch at one time. Sometimes called “plates,” these appliances rest directly on top of your gum tissue and replace your entire row of missing teeth. Upper dentures also have a shape that creates suction against the root of your mouth for added support. Denture candidates are already missing all of their teeth or need to have their remaining teeth removed, typically due to advanced decay or periodontal disease.
Partial dentures

Partial Dentures

Partials are a smaller type of denture that clips into place around your existing, healthy teeth. Wearing a partial prevents the need to remove healthy teeth and replaces all of the missing ones with a single appliance. Partials work well for individuals who may not qualify for dental bridges or implants
Implant supported dentures - Overdentures

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.

After a few weeks, you should feel fairly confident in your denture.
