Dentures in Glendale & La Crescenta, CA
Complete dentures can replace an entire arch of missing teeth. For patients who struggle with movement or poor retention, dental implants can sometimes provide additional support and stability.
Conventional Denture
A removable prosthesis that relies primarily on gum and ridge anatomy for support.
Snap-On Denture
A removable denture that connects to implants for improved retention.
Fixed Full-Arch Teeth
A larger implant-supported restoration generally removed by the dental team rather than the patient.
Jawbone Changes Can Reduce Denture Retention Over Time
After teeth are lost, jawbone can gradually remodel. As the ridge changes, an older denture may fit less securely and require relining, replacement or an implant-supported alternative.
- Long-term bone shrinkage
- Changes in ridge shape
- Wear of the denture teeth
- Changes in bite
- Reduced suction or retention
- Need for attachment support
Implants Can Help Stabilize a Removable Denture
Implant attachments can reduce unwanted movement and give a removable denture a more secure connection in selected patients.
