Immediate Denture, Upper Denture, Lower Denture

A denture or a complete denture as it is often called, is an appliance that is inserted in the mouth, replaces natural teeth and provides support for the cheeks and lips.

Most dentures are made of acrylic and can be fabricated two different ways.

  • A conventional denture is made after all teeth have been extracted and the tissues (gums) have healed.
  • An immediate denture is fabricated and inserted immediately after the teeth are extracted and the tissues are allowed to heal under the denture.
  • An upper denture has acrylic, usually flesh colored, that covers the palate (roof of the mouth).
  • A lower denture is shaped like a horseshoe to leave room for the tongue.

The teeth are made of plastic, porcelain or a combination thereof. Dentures can be fabricated to fit over endodontically treated teeth and a complete denture can be attached to dental implants to allow for a more secure fit of the appliance.

Dentures over a normal course of time will wear and need to be replaced or relined in order to keep the jaw alignment normal. The alignment will slowly change as the bone and gum ridges recede or shrink due to the extraction of the teeth. Regular dental examinations are still important for the denture wearer so that the oral tissues can be checked for disease or change.

Patient Review By Lyle W

Dr. Esquerra is the very best. Dr. Esquerra is professional, kind ,and trustworthy. I have often said that the work her office has done for me is simply miraculous. Everyday I that I eat I give thanks for the great work that was done so I can eat every meal without pain. I will never forget the wonderful change in my life when I took my first bite with my new dentures. I know, that if I have any problems I will be given an appointment and the problem will be address perfectly. Thank you Dr. Esquerra and your kind and professional staff. I am proud to spread the good news about the quality of your work. Thank you again for your skills and kindness.

Patient Review By Monica V

My experience with Dr. Erickson and his staff was over- the- top wonderful! He is personable,friendly and extremely competent. He was willing to work within my financial constraints and still provide me with a partial that fits well AND looks good. During my first appointment I was impressed with the clean office and all the safety precautions he has in place. This was only increased post Covid-19. I would definitely recommended him to my family and friends.
