Denture Services in Oxnard

Your smile plays a big role in how you eat, speak, and feel, and we understand that at Clove Dental in Oxnard. Missing teeth can make simple things like eating, talking, or even smiling a challenge. That’s why we offer custom denture solutions tailored to your needs. Whether you're missing a few teeth or all of them, our caring team is here to help you feel like yourself again, with a natural-looking smile you’ll be proud to show off.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable appliances used to replace missing teeth and restore both function and appearance. They're made from durable, natural-looking materials and custom-shaped to fit your mouth comfortably.

We provide two main types of dentures:

  • Complete Dentures: These replace all teeth on the upper or lower jaw and are ideal if you’ve lost most or all of your natural teeth.
  • Partial Dentures: These fill in the gaps when some of your natural teeth are still in place. They’re designed to blend seamlessly with your existing smile and help keep remaining teeth from shifting.

When Might You Need Dentures?

Here are a few signs that dentures might be the right fit for you:

  • Children whose permanent teeth have just emerged
  • Teens with dental histories
  • Adults with deep holes or grooves on their rear teeth.
  • Anyone who has problems brushing the back of their mouth.
  • Patients who wish to take preventative actions now to avoid further dental procedures

We’ll help you choose the option that feels right and works best for your lifestyle.

Benefits of Choosing Dentures

Better Function
With dentures, you’ll be able to chew, speak, and smile with ease again; no more avoiding certain foods or social situations.
Comfortable Fit
We carefully shape and size your dentures to sit securely and comfortably in your mouth.
Budget-Friendly Option
Dentures are an affordable alternative to dental implants and other restorations, offering great value without compromising function.

What to Expect from the Denture Process

Getting dentures is easier than you might think. Here’s a general idea of how it works at Clove Dental in Oxnard:

Step 1: Initial Exam & Planning

We’ll start by checking your oral health, discussing your goals, and taking impressions of your mouth to design dentures that fit your anatomy.

Step 2: Designing Your Dentures

Next, we create custom dentures based on your jaw shape, bite, and personal preferences, ensuring they match your features and feel comfortable.

Step 3: Fitting Appointment

Once your dentures are ready, we’ll try them in and check for fit and comfort. If any tweaks are needed, we’ll make them right away.

Step 4: Ongoing Support

Even after you leave with your new smile, we’re here for follow-up visits and support. We’ll show you how to care for your dentures so they last and continue to feel great.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it feel strange to wear dentures for the first time?
Indeed, it's common to require some time to adjust to your new fittings. Your speech may shift somewhat, your saliva may rise, or you may become aware of your dentures as your mouth becomes used to the new apparatus. As their tongue and muscles adjust, most patients become used to their new teeth in 2-4 weeks.a
Can you eat properly with dentures?
Most of your favorite foods will eventually return to your diet; however, during the initial period of adjustment, we recommend starting with soft, easily chewed meals. Begin with cooked vegetables, yogurt, and eggs, then work your way up to rougher textures as you gain confidence. After adapting to their dentures, the majority of patients can eat a full, varied diet.
Are there any special cleaning and maintenance requirements for dentures?
Yes, dentures must be cleaned on a regular basis using certain procedures and materials.   We'll provide detailed instructions on how to brush with denture cleaners, soak in solutions, and preserve them correctly. In contrast to natural teeth, dentures must be removed every night and kept damp to maintain their shape and eliminate infections.
What should I do if my dentures start to come loose over time?

It’s common for dentures to feel loose over time as your gums and jaw change. Never try to alter them with adhesives or do-it-yourself fixes. To ensure a secure and comfortable fit, schedule an appointment with us so that we may appropriately rebase, reline, or alter your dentures.
