Dentures in Irvine
At Sand Canyon Dental in Irvine, we offer custom-made dentures to help restore your smile, chewing ability, and confidence—whether you're missing a few teeth or all of them.
What Are Dentures?

We offer:
Complete Dentures – For patients missing all teeth in an arch (upper, lower, or both)

Denture Options at Sand Canyon Dental
Conventional Dentures
Made after all teeth are removed and the gums have healed. Offers a stable, accurate fit.
Immediate Dentures
Placed immediately after extractions, allowing you to never be without teeth. May require adjustments as healing occurs.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Attach to dental implants for enhanced stability. Less movement and greater comfort.
The Denture Process
Consultation & Impressions – We evaluate your oral health and take molds of your mouth.
Try-In Fitting – You’ll preview the denture design for comfort and aesthetics.
Final Placement – Your finished dentures are placed and adjusted as needed.
Follow-Up Care – We ensure proper fit and function.
Adjusting to Life with Dentures
It may take a few weeks to get used to new dentures. During this time, you may:
Practice speaking slowly and clearly
Stick to soft foods initially
Use denture adhesive if recommended
We provide thorough guidance and support throughout the adjustment period.
Denture FAQs
How long do dentures last?
Dentures commonly last about 5 to 10 years. Your gums and jawbone change over time, so dentures may need to be relined, adjusted, or replaced to keep a comfortable fit.
How long does it take to get used to new dentures?
Most people adjust within a few weeks. Speaking and eating may feel different at first, and your dentist can adjust any sore spots during follow-up visits.
Should I sleep with my dentures in?
Most dentists recommend removing dentures at night. This gives your gums a chance to rest and is a good time to clean and soak your dentures.
What is the difference between dentures and dental implants?
Dentures are removable and usually cost less up front. Dental implants are fixed in the jawbone and feel more like natural teeth. For a full arch, implant-supported teeth offer a stable option that does not slip.
How do I clean my dentures?
Brush your dentures daily with a soft denture brush and a non-abrasive denture cleaner, rinse after meals, and soak them overnight. Avoid hot water, which can warp them.
