Dentures Sunnyvale, CA
Dentures are custom-made removable appliances that replace missing teeth and support the lips and cheeks. For patients missing some or all of their natural teeth, dentures offer a reliable way to restore a full, functional smile.
Restore Your Smile with Custom Dentures
Losing teeth can affect more than your smile. It can make everyday moments like eating dinner with family or laughing with friends feel more difficult, and that toll is as emotional as it is physical. Custom dentures are designed to fit comfortably and look natural, so you can chew, speak, and smile with confidence again. Every set we create is built around your mouth and your goals, not a one size fits all mold.
Types of Dentures We Offer
Not every patient’s needs are the same, so we offer several types of dentures to fit different situations. Each option is designed to replace missing teeth while supporting your comfort, function, and appearance. We will help you determine which type is the right fit during your
consultation.
Full Dentures
Full dentures are designed for patients who are missing all of the teeth in an upper or lower arch. They replace the entire row of teeth and are custom fitted to support your facial structure. Full dentures allow you to eat, speak, and smile with a complete, natural looking
set of teeth.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are a good option for patients who still have some healthy natural teeth remaining. They fill the gaps left by missing teeth while working alongside your existing smile. A partial denture is custom designed to blend in with your natural teeth for a comfortable, secure fit.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures offer a more stable option by anchoring your denture to dental implants rather than resting on the gums alone. This added stability can make chewing and speaking feel more secure day to day. To learn more about this option, visit our Dental Implants page.
Benefits of Dentures
Dentures do more than fill empty spaces. Patients who choose dentures often notice
benefits such as:
- Restored ability to eat and speak clearly
- Improved facial structure that helps prevent a sunken appearance
- An affordable option for replacing missing teeth
- A custom, natural looking appearance
Are Dentures Right for You?
Dentures may be a good fit if you are missing multiple teeth or all of the teeth in an arch and are looking for a cost effective way to replace them. They can also be a good option if you are not a candidate for dental implants or simply prefer a removable solution. A consultation with our team is the best way to find out if dentures are right for your smile.

Getting dentures is a step by step process designed to give you a comfortable, well fitted

What to Expect with Dentures
It is normal to go through a short adjustment period after receiving your new dentures. You may notice some minor discomfort at first, along with a learning curve as you get used to eating and speaking with them. This is a normal part of the process, and our team is here to guide you through it so you feel confident wearing your dentures every day.
How to Care for Your Dentures
Taking care of your dentures helps them stay comfortable and last longer. A simple care
routine includes:
- Cleaning your dentures daily with a soft brush and denture cleanser
- Storing your dentures properly, typically in water, when they are not being worn
- Keeping up with regular dental checkups so we can monitor your fit and oral health.
- Regular checkups are also a good opportunity to talk with us about your broader oral hygiene routine and let us perform an Oral Cancer Examination.

Dentures FAQs
Will dentures look natural?
Yes, dentures are custom designed to match the shape, size, and color of natural teeth. Our goal is a result that fits your face and smile so it looks like you. Every denture we create is tailored to the individual patient.
Can I sleep with my dentures in?
Many dentists recommend removing your dentures at night to give your gums a chance to rest. Storing them properly overnight also helps maintain their shape. We are happy to talk through the routine that works best for you during your visit.
How do I keep dentures in place?
A well fitted denture is designed to stay securely in place during normal use. Denture adhesive can offer extra hold for some patients, and implant supported dentures provide additional stability for those who need it. We can help you find the right solution for your
needs.
What foods should I avoid with dentures?
Very sticky or hard foods can be more difficult to manage with dentures, especially early on. Cutting food into smaller pieces and chewing slowly can make mealtime easier as you adjust. Our team can offer more specific guidance based on your individual fit.
