Full and Partial Dentures in Stockton, CA

The Solution for a Restored Smile in Stockton, CA

For as long as people have roamed the earth, we have had to manage tooth loss. Thanks to modern technology, we've been able to solve the problem of missing teeth for decades using dentures. Partial and complete dentures are a time-honored and still successful method of replacing missing teeth. And now, thanks to the latest advances in the field of dentistry, dentures are becoming an even more comfortable and practical solution to missing teeth.

At Galvez Dental in Stockton, we’re delighted that these amazing advancements in dental technology permit us to provide our patients with partial and complete dentures that fit more securely and comfortably than ever before. If you are not a good candidate for dental implants due to a weak jawbone or bone loss, our custom-fitting dentures are a great solution to a restored smile!

Complete dentures are recommended for patients who are missing most or all of their natural teeth. They fit securely in your mouth and enable you to speak and eat as easily as if they were natural teeth. And thanks to the advancements in dental technology over the years, complete dentures are simple to use and more comfortable than ever!

If one of your parents or grandparents has had complete dentures, you may remember them applying a cream adhesive to the denture multiple times each day. This used to be the only way to keep dentures secure in the mouth so they did not slip out when eating, talking or laughing. Well, thanks to the new design of dentures and improvements in medical technology, there is no longer a need to apply heavy adhesives in order to keep your dentures in place. The acrylic bases used for today’s dentures fit more snugly to both the upper and lower arches because this material can be more closely contoured to accurately fit the shape of your gums. This new technology also helps eliminate gaps at the gum line, making your new dentures look more like your natural smile. With such a secure fit, adhesives are a thing of the past!

The process of taking an impression of your mouth to create your dentures has also changed. Whether a dentist takes an impression with a bite tray or utilizes digital imaging of your whole mouth and jawbone, both get results that are now closer to the exact shape of your mouth than in years past. These new advances in dental technology have simplified the process of making custom-fit dentures, and digital imaging technology has almost completely removed the margin of error in measuring. Therefore, the dental lab that makes your denture is far more likely to send you a denture that needs minimal adjustments to stay secure and comfortable for you.

We know that tooth loss can be stressful, but we don't want you to worry. Galvez Dental is here to help!

Partial dentures are another solution for missing teeth that is recommended for patients who still have several of their natural teeth intact. There are two common types of partial dentures that we provide at our Stockton office: the type with hooks, and the type with an acrylic base. The right type for you will depend on your current dental health and your needs, which our dentists will discuss with you at your denture appointment.

The first type of partial denture is great for when you still have healthy teeth remaining on the top or bottom arches of your gums. Our expert team at Galvez Dental can prepare a partial denture that hooks onto these teeth to secure your replacement teeth. This provides a stable and discreet way to restore your smile, which is also removable for easy cleaning and comfortable sleeping.

The second type of partial dentures consists of replacement teeth mounted on a gum-colored acrylic base that fits snugly over your existing natural teeth. The base of these partial dentures will possess many of the same advantages as those listed above, and it is also easily removable for daily oral hygiene and sleeping.

The right solution for you is the one that will be the most secure and will enable you to be the most comfortable as you talk, laugh and eat. Our Stockton dentists will advise you on the best way to replace your missing teeth after a careful analysis of your dental situation. We want you to be confident in the care you receive, and we are happy to answer any questions you may have and explain our procedures so you can make a fully-informed choice about your dental care.
