Dentures in Los Alamitos, CA
Dentures can be an effective way to replace missing teeth or teeth that are no longer healthy enough to keep. At Beachwood Dental, patients who need dentures in Los Alamitos, CA have different options based on their needs, including PALA digital dentures, which can be easier to make and replace because the impression is saved digitally.
Full dentures may be recommended when an entire row of teeth needs replacement, while partial dentures can fill gaps when some healthy teeth remain. These options can restore the appearance of your smile while also supporting the gums, lips, speech, and chewing function. When missing teeth are left untreated, the gums may recede and the shape of the mouth can change over time.

Temporary Dentures
If patients require a temporary fix in between procedures or are unable to undergo traditional implant procedures due to weak gums, then Beachwood Dental also offers removable, flexible dentures. Instead of being constructed from rigid materials, the removable dentures are now crafted from more pliable and comfortable substances such as polyamides, which are nylon-like plastics. These are typically only used to restore partial areas, like the bottom or top row only, and can slide into the natural contours of the gums securely thanks to the bottoms being custom designed to fit into the patient’s mouth. Temporary, removable dentures should not be worn overnight and create the need for their wearers to practice exceptional oral hygiene. Since they are not permanently locked into place, the dentures can trap food and other particles under them, so it is essential for the patient to clean regularly in between uses. Our patients can schedule an individual consult with one of our dentists to see which denture option would be best suited for their needs.
