What Are Dentures?
Your smile is one of your most personal expressions. Our team at Oasis Smiles Dentistry and Vista Oasis Smiles can help restore it naturally and comfortably with custom dentures. Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth. They improve speaking, chewing, and overall facial balance. There are two types of dentures: full dentures, which replace an entire arch of missing teeth and rest on the gums, and partial dentures, which replace several missing teeth and attach to remaining natural teeth for support. Both options help maintain oral health and function. Schedule a consultation at our San Diego or Vista, CA office to explore which type of dentures provides the right fit for your needs.
What Is the Dentures Process?
Getting dentures involves several steps to ensure a precise, comfortable fit. Unlike dental implants, which are fixed in the jawbone, dentures are removable and may require denture adhesive for extra stability. The process includes an initial exam and impressions as our team evaluates your oral health and takes precise molds of your gums and teeth. Next, denture design and fitting involve crafting a custom denture to match your bite and facial structure. Adjustments and final placement ensure comfort and function. Regular follow-ups will help maintain the fit and performance of your dentures over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get used to new dentures?
It typically takes a few weeks to adjust to new dentures as your muscles learn to hold them in place. You might notice increased saliva flow or minor soreness initially, which should subside over time. Our team at Oasis Smiles Dentistry and Vista Oasis Smiles will schedule follow-up appointments to make any necessary adjustments for optimal comfort.
Can I eat normally with dentures?
Yes, you can eat most foods with dentures, but it requires some practice. We recommend starting with soft foods and cutting everything into small pieces to make chewing easier. Over time, you can gradually reintroduce harder foods as you become more comfortable and confident.
How long will my dentures last?
With proper care and regular professional check-ups in San Diego or Vista, CA, dentures can last several years, typically 5 to 10. Over time, your jawbone and gums can change, requiring your dentures to be relined or replaced for a proper fit. Regular visits to our office will help ensure their longevity and function.
