Dentures in Encino
Restore Your Smile with Custom Dentures
What Are Dentures and How Do They Benefit You?
At Clove Dental in Encino, we provide custom dentures to restore your smile, enhance oral function, and improve your self-confidence. Dentures are prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues, allowing you to chew, speak, and smile naturally. Whether you’ve lost teeth due to injury, decay, or gum disease, dentures offer a reliable solution to restore your oral health and improve your quality of life.
Missing teeth affect more than just function—they can also alter your facial structure and reduce self-esteem. Our custom dentures not only restore your bite but also prevent the sagging of facial muscles, giving you a fuller, more youthful appearance. With dentures, you can enjoy a complete smile and feel confident again.
Types of Dentures Available at Clove Dental in Encino
We understand that every patient’s needs are different, which is why we offer a variety of denture options tailored to suit your oral health and lifestyle.
1. Full Dentures
These are ideal for patients who have lost all teeth in the upper or lower arch. Our full dentures consist of an entire set of artificial teeth, attached to an acrylic base designed to mimic the natural gum line. Full dentures are comfortable, functional, and removable.
- Upper Full Dentures: These dentures replace all the teeth in the upper jaw and cover the roof of your mouth for stability.
- Lower Full Dentures: These fit snugly on the lower jaw, restoring the function and appearance of your lower teeth.
- Ideal for: Patients who need to replace all missing teeth in the upper or lower arch due to extensive tooth loss from decay, injury, or gum disease.
2. Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are perfect for individuals with some natural teeth remaining but missing several teeth. These dentures fill the gaps between your existing teeth, preventing them from shifting and helping maintain proper alignment.
- Removable Partial Dentures: These are easy to remove for cleaning and provide flexibility.
- Fixed Partial Dentures (Bridges): These are anchored to adjacent teeth for a more permanent solution.
- Ideal for: Patients with some natural teeth remaining who need to fill gaps left by missing teeth.
Benefits of Dentures: How They Improve Your Daily Life
Dentures offer more than cosmetic improvements—they provide functional and psychological benefits as well.
- Restores Chewing Ability: Dentures allow you to chew food more effectively, enabling you to enjoy a balanced diet and improve digestion.
- Improves Speech: Missing teeth can make it difficult to speak clearly. Dentures provide the necessary support for your lips and tongue, improving speech clarity.
- Enhances Appearance: Dentures fill in the gaps left by missing teeth and support your facial muscles, giving you a fuller, more youthful look.
- Boosts Confidence: With dentures, you’ll no longer feel self-conscious about missing teeth. A complete smile restores your confidence, allowing you to socialize and smile freely.
- Prevents Dental Shifting: For patients with remaining teeth, partial dentures help prevent teeth from shifting out of place, preserving the alignment of your natural teeth.

The Denture Process: What to Expect at Clove Dental in Encino
Our step-by-step approach ensures that your dentures fit perfectly and meet your expectations for both comfort and appearance.
- Initial Consultation:
During your first visit, our dentist will assess your oral health and take impressions of your gums and any remaining teeth. We’ll discuss the best denture options based on your specific needs. - Custom Denture Fabrication:
Using the impressions from your consultation, your dentures will be custom-made in a dental lab. They will be designed to fit your mouth comfortably and restore the natural look and function of your teeth. - Fitting and Adjustments:
Once the dentures are ready, we’ll schedule a fitting appointment. Our dentist will make any necessary adjustments to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. We’ll also provide instructions on how to care for your new dentures. - Follow-Up Appointments:
After wearing your dentures for a few weeks, a follow-up visit may be needed to address any discomfort or fit issues. Additional adjustments can be made to ensure your dentures remain functional and comfortable.
Caring for Your Dentures
Proper care is essential for keeping your dentures in good condition and ensuring they last for many years. Here are some tips for maintaining your dentures:
- Daily Cleaning: Clean your dentures daily using a soft-bristled brush and a non-abrasive denture cleaner. This helps remove food particles, plaque, and stains.
- Soak Overnight: When not in use, store your dentures in a glass of water or a denture-soaking solution to prevent them from drying out or losing their shape.
- Handle with Care: Dentures can break if dropped, so be careful when handling them, especially during cleaning.
- Regular Check-Ups: Even with dentures, it’s important to visit the dentist regularly for check-ups and adjustments to ensure your dentures fit properly and remain in good condition.
