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.

Oasis Smiles Dentistry Reviews
Great service
They are all very kind, caring. They explained everything so I understand. I felt cared for. I would recommend this dentist.
It's been great very well taken care of'I feel In in good hands. Everyone was very patient with me.
June 21st, my birthday.I would give Dr. Bohr now 10 STARS. SUPERIOR.She stepped up and turned this whole thing up a notch. I am a tough critic. And I think I got what I expected from the outset. She gave me confidence in her from the start. And I know I am not the easiest or the ideal case. I listened and followed her suggestions to the letter.So I am confident now of a good finished product.Thanks to all of them for being kind and understanding with me.FOR MY JUNE 1ST appointment I was given excellent and timely treatment from Dr. Bohr and staff. I have faith in her. And that my difficult implant procedure will be successful.Special thanks to all the staff. Rancho Bernardo and Vista offices.Last year it seemed like a rough start. I highly recommend research ahead of time about implants. Its a process, not a one shot deal. I learned that many factors contribute to a successful result. Especially personal accountability for doing healthful things the Dr. expects from us (me)Its a two way street. Good results are also the patients responsibility to follow directions. And ask appropriate questions, so forth. That has been my observation and experience.Lastly, I believe in the power of prayer. "No one on Earth is God" I heard said while there today. I agree 💯I need to strive for the patience of Job. And the wisdom of Solomon.
Knowledgeable, thorough, and friendly staff.

Are You a Candidate for Dentures?
Ideal candidates for dentures are patients who have lost several or all of their teeth or need damaged teeth extracted. As a common option for missing teeth replacement, dentures can improve your ability to chew a wider variety of foods, speak comfortably, and maintain natural facial volume. These appliances tend to work best when the gums are healthy and there is adequate jawbone support for a secure fit. During your visit, our team will examine your mouth and discuss full and partial dentures based on your dental needs, appearance goals, and budget. After reviewing your options, our team can help determine whether dentures are the right choice for restoring your smile and which type may best fit your individual needs.
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.
