Tooth replacement
Dentures in Huntington Park, CA
Dentures restore your ability to chew, speak clearly, and smile with confidence. Modern dentures are more comfortable and natural-looking than ever before.
Full vs. partial dentures
A full (complete) denture replaces all teeth in the upper or lower arch and rests on the gum tissue. A partial denture replaces one or more missing teeth and clasps onto remaining natural teeth for stability. Both can be custom-made to closely match the appearance of your natural smile.
Dr. Adelpour will take careful impressions and work with a dental lab to craft dentures that fit well, look natural, and restore function as fully as possible.

How long does it take to get dentures?
The process typically involves 3–5 appointments over 4–8 weeks: impressions, bite registration, a try-in appointment to preview the fit and appearance, and final delivery. Adjustments afterward are normal and expected.
Are dentures covered by Denti-Cal?
Yes — Denti-Cal covers full dentures and some partial dentures when teeth have been lost and it is clinically indicated. Coverage details vary. We'll verify your specific benefits before treatment begins.
What about implant-supported dentures?
Implant-supported dentures are held in place by implant posts, providing significantly more stability than traditional dentures. If you're interested in this option, ask us about a referral and how we can coordinate your care.
Questions answered
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to get used to dentures?
Most patients need 4–8 weeks to fully adapt to new dentures. Speech may feel different at first, and soft foods are recommended initially. Most people adjust well with time and practice.
How do I care for my dentures?
Remove and rinse dentures after eating. Brush with a soft denture brush and denture cleaner (not regular toothpaste, which is too abrasive). Soak overnight in water or denture solution. Always handle over a soft surface or sink of water.
Do dentures need to be replaced?
Dentures typically last 5–10 years before needing replacement. Your mouth and jawbone change over time, which can affect fit. Regular checkups let us monitor the fit and reline or adjust as needed.
