What are Dentures?
Dentures are removable appliances that can replace missing teeth and help restore the function and appearance of your smile. They are custom-made to fit comfortably in your mouth and can be easily removed for cleaning or sleeping. We offer two types of dentures in our Cameron Park office:
Types of Dentures in Cameron Park
Depending on how many missing teeth you have, you may choose from different types of denture designs. Some replace all of your teeth at once, while others fit in around the healthy teeth you still have. And in some cases, you can even wear dentures that snap on top of dental implants.
Full Dentures (“Plates”)
Tailored to fit snugly and comfortably, full dentures are the perfect choice for patients needing a complete set of teeth. These dentures mimic the look and feel of your natural teeth, bringing back the happiness and confidence of a full, functional smile. They are not only good-looking and long-lasting but also meticulously crafted for everyday use.
Partial Dentures
Great for patients with some natural teeth left, partial dentures blend seamlessly with your existing teeth. They align your natural teeth and prevent shifting, filling in the gaps. This option lets you enjoy a natural smile and maintain your mouth’s structure.
Implant-Supported Dentures/Overdentures
Implant-stabilized dentures look like traditional dentures, except they have special locators underneath them that snap onto corresponding dental implants. In most cases, anywhere from 2-4 dental implants are needed. Overdentures are easy to clean and care for, and there’s no need for messy adhesives or pastes. They work well for people with bone loss or jaw shrinkage, as the implants provide added support to reinforce the denture throughout the day. Implant-supported dentures tend to be more comfortable and easier to eat with.

Getting Dentures in Cameron Park
At Cameron Park Family Dentistry, obtaining your new dentures is effortless. During your appointment, you’ll experience:
- Getting to Know You begins with a friendly chat and check-up. Let’s discuss your dental history and what you need to ensure we find the perfect dentures for you!
- Measurements: With precise impressions and measurements, we start crafting dentures that are just right for your mouth.
- The Fit Test: When your dentures are ready, we’ll have a fitting session to ensure they are as comfortable as they are beautiful. We’ll work with you to make any adjustments until everything feels just right.
- Keeping in Touch: After you’ve flaunted your new smile, we’re here for follow-ups to fine-tune, provide guidance, and ensure you and your dentures are a perfect match, ready to make any necessary adjustments.
Adjusting to Your New Denture
If you’ve ever had to “break in” a new pair of leather boots, getting used to dentures is a similar process. The longer you wear them, the more comfortable they’ll begin to feel in your mouth. In the beginning, you’ll probably want to practice speaking in front of a mirror or taking smaller bites of food. After a few weeks, you should feel fairly confident in your denture.
Benefits of Dentures
Even with other types of tooth replacement treatments in Cameron Park, dentures remain to be one of the most popular options available. Why? Because of how quickly they can be curated to the patient and their affordability. No matter how many missing teeth you have, dentures can enhance your quality of life and confidence, even if you’re on a tight budget.
How to Care for Your New Dentures
Daily denture maintenance and home care can help you get the most out of your new appliance. The better you care for your dentures, the longer they’ll last. Here are some important guidelines to follow:
- Never sleep in your denture. Remove it each night.
- Soak your dentures in an approved denture solution as directed by our Cameron Park dentist.
- Every morning and evening, brush your dentures with a soft denture brush or toothbrush and lukewarm tap water.
- Never use hot water to clean your denture, as high temperatures could cause warping in the acrylic.
- Do not use bleach, abrasive pastes, or baking soda, as these can damage or scratch your dentures and cause them to harbor bacteria.
- Hold your denture over a towel when cleaning it. That way, if you accidentally drop it, it’s less likely to break.
- Bring your denture with you to your regularly scheduled six-month checkups to have it evaluated.
If your denture rubs or feels uncomfortable, contact our Cameron Park dentist. Occasional adjustments or denture relines are sometimes needed as your jaw shape is likely to change over time.
At Cameron Park Family Dentistry, we offer beautiful, natural, and custom well-fitted dentures to replace your missing teeth and improve your health and appearance.
Cost of Dentures
The affordable price of dentures makes them an excellent choice to replace missing teeth (especially when you’re working with a tight budget.) Most insurance plans will also cover at least a portion of the denture cost. Depending on the type of denture you choose and the materials used, average denture prices tend to vary between $300 to $1800 per appliance. Implant-supported dentures do cost more than traditional “plates,” as implant installation is also required.
