Procedure Overview
The procedure for getting dentures is relatively simple but may take multiple appointments. First, your dentist in Gardena takes a mold or scan of your gums and any remaining teeth. We will make a model of your mouth from this mold to create a denture that fits every small ridge and contour of your jawbone and gums. Your dentist will invite you back to try on your dentures and ensure they fit comfortably and securely. If the fit is good, you can start wearing your new dentures. If not, your dentist will make adjustments until they fit perfectly.

If you have any questions about dentures, we’ve got answers.
If you’ve ever had to “break in” a new pair of leather boots, getting used to dentures is a similar process. The longer you wear them, the more comfortable they’ll begin to feel in your mouth. In the beginning, you’ll probably want to practice speaking in front of a mirror or taking smaller bites of food. After a few weeks, you should feel fairly confident in your denture.
If it’s your first time wearing a denture, it may feel a bit bulky at first (after all, there’s a layer of acrylic over your gum tissues.) By wearing your denture all day, every day, most people adjust to their new prosthesis within a few weeks.
No. Wearing dentures when you sleep can lead to accelerated bone loss (causing ill-fitting dentures,) sore spots, infections, and reduce the lifespan of your appliance.
Daily denture maintenance and home care can help you get the most out of your new appliance. The better you care for your dentures, the longer they’ll last. Here are some important guidelines to follow:
- Never sleep in your denture. Remove it each night.
- Soak your dentures in an approved denture solution as directed by our Gardena dentist.
- Every morning and evening, brush your dentures with a soft denture brush or toothbrush and lukewarm tap water.
- Never use hot water to clean your denture, as high temperatures could cause warping in the acrylic.
- Do not use bleach, abrasive pastes, or baking soda, as these can damage or scratch your dentures and cause them to harbor bacteria.
- Hold your denture over a towel when cleaning it. That way, if you accidentally drop it, it’s less likely to break.
- Bring your denture with you to your regularly scheduled six-month checkups to have it evaluated.
If your denture rubs or feels uncomfortable, contact our Gardena dentist. Occasional adjustments or denture relines are sometimes needed as your jaw shape is likely to change over time.
The affordable price of dentures makes them an excellent choice to replace missing teeth (especially when you’re working with a tight budget.) Most insurance plans will also cover at least a portion of the denture cost. Depending on the type of denture you choose and the materials used, average denture prices tend to vary between $300 to $1800 per appliance. Implant-supported dentures do cost more than traditional “plates,” as implant installation is also required.
