Regain a Healthy, Confident Smile with High-quality Dentures and Partials
Tooth loss remains common, affecting over 178 million Americans, despite advancements in preventive and restorative dentistry. However, tooth loss doesn’t have to be a permanent condition. Dentures in Red Bluff and Chico, California, provide an effective solution for replacing missing teeth. Don’t live with the limitations of tooth loss any longer. Regain your confidence and full function with top-tier dentures at Randal S. Elloway DDS, Inc.
What are the denture options available?
Once you lose adult teeth, you cannot grow new ones. However, this doesn’t mean you live with a “gappy” smile. Dentures provide a removable solution for one or multiple missing teeth. Explore the denture options available in our office.
- Complete dentures: Full dentures can replace all missing teeth in the upper, lower, or both arches. They are also ideal if the remaining teeth are beyond saving and can’t support a partial. Traditional dentures are secured with adhesives and suction, but patients can enjoy enhanced stability with implant-supported dentures.
- Partials: Partials are excellent for replacing teeth if you have some natural ones that remain. Partials work like bridges, except they are secured to the neighboring teeth with removable metal clasps instead of crowns.
When people think of dentures, they often imagine bulky, artificial-looking teeth. But today’s dentures are a far cry from what your grandmother wore. Crafted with precision and advanced materials, modern dentures look and feel incredibly natural, so much so that they appeal to young patients in their 30s and 40s.
What is the process of getting dentures?
It all starts with a consultation with our experienced dentist, Dr. Randal S. Elloway. He will examine your smile and discuss your expectations to determine your denture eligibility. Next, we take digital scans of your smile to ensure a customized fit and realistic appearance.
Our partner lab will fabricate your dentures with premium materials and in close liaison with our dental team. Once your restoration is fabricated, you’ll visit our office for fitting. A few adjustments will be necessary to ensure your dentures fit perfectly.
Adjusting to new dentures takes time and patience. At first, you may experience minor discomfort, increased saliva, or difficulty speaking and chewing. As your mouth adapts, these issues usually improve within a few weeks. Practicing reading aloud, eating soft foods, and following your dentist’s care instructions can help speed up the adjustment.
