Why Is Oral Health So Important?
You may not fully understand how crucial oral health is.…
Missing teeth can impact daily activities like chewing and speaking, as well as your confidence in your smile. At Allen & Washington Dental | Implant Center, we provide teeth replacement options, including complete and partial dentures, to help you achieve a full, natural-looking smile. Our goal is to help you feel great about your smile and enjoy optimal function again.
Dentures are custom prosthetic devices that replace missing teeth while supporting your facial structure. They can be either complete dental implants or partial, depending on your needs:
Used when all natural teeth are missing or need replacement, complete dentures restore your entire smile.
These replace only the missing teeth and are designed to work with any remaining healthy teeth.
Our Pasadena dental office offers a range of denture options, so we can tailor treatment to your unique needs and preferences.
We provide three main types of complete dentures to ensure the best solution for each patient:
These are placed once your gums have healed after any necessary extractions, usually after 10-12 weeks.
Immediate dentures are placed right after extractions, allowing you to leave with a complete smile. However, a healing period of a few weeks may be required.
For added stability, we offer implant-supported dentures, which are secured with full dental implants or new teeth implants placed in the jawbone. These provide additional support, making chewing more comfortable and allowing for easy removal for cleaning.
Both types of dentures provide functional and aesthetic benefits. With our high-quality dentures, you can enjoy:

The lifespan of dentures varies based on type and care. Complete dentures typically last up to five years or more with regular care, while partial dentures may last even longer. Proper care and annual checkups help ensure that your dentures remain in optimal condition.
To prolong the life of your dentures, daily maintenance is essential. Here are our recommended steps:
Remove dentures and gently brush them with a soft-bristled toothbrush to prevent buildup.
Place dentures in water or a denture-safe solution overnight to keep them moist and free of bacteria.
Schedule yearly visits to our office for professional cleaning, adjustments, or denture repairs.
If you’re interested in denture alternatives, ask about denture implant insurance and complete dental implants to explore your options for a long-lasting solution.
