The cost-effective solution to replace teeth – with zero invasive procedures.
The Dental House provides full dentures, partial dentures, and implant-supported dentures to patients in La Mesa and the San Diego area. No matter what your challenges are, we’ll help you restore both functionality and appearance.
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are artificial replacement teeth that can be removed as needed. Made from materials like acrylic, porcelain,
and resin, dentures can be used to replace all your teeth or just a few – or a single tooth.
You’ve Lost Several Teeth
If you are missing multiple teeth in the same arch, dentures can be an excellent solution to provide both a functional and aesthetic replacement.
There is Severe Tooth Damage
Tooth loss due to extreme decay, gum disease, or a dental injury may render your remaining teeth unable to support prosthetics – like implants or bridges. Dentures may be the right option in this scenario.
You Prefer a Non-Invasive Solution
Most procedures to get dentures require zero surgery, interventions, or any other task that may involve pain.
You Need aCost-Effective Solution
Dentures are a less expensive alternative to dental implants and do not require long periods of recovery.
The Process of Getting Dentures
at The Dental House
Dentures are artificial replacement teeth that can be removed as needed. Made from materials like acrylic, porcelain, and resin, dentures can be used to replace all your teeth or just a few – or a single tooth.
01
Consultation
The first step to getting dentures involves a detailed analysis of your gums, remaining teeth, and jaw to understand the health of your oral tissues. We’ll decide the best option based on your circumstances.
02
Preparation
Preparation for dentures may involve tooth extractions, treatment for gum disease, or adjustments to the remaining teeth to ensure the dentures will fit properly.
03
Make Impression
We’ll make molds of your gums and remaining teeth – which are used to fabricate your custom dentures
04
Register Your Bite
Bite registration involves determining the vertical dimension of your mouth and how your jaw aligns. This is to make sure the dentures allow for natural speaking and chewing motions.
05
Create Wax Models
Using the impressions (molds) and the bite registration, we’ll create a wax model of your dentures. This is a “rough draft” to make sure it fits properly and minor adjustments can be made.
06
Fit the Dentures
Once the wax model fits perfectly, the final dentures will be fabricated in a dental lab. We’ll schedule a fitting appointment to implement your dentures. Any final adjustments can be made on-site.
07
Follow-Up Care
We will schedule regular check-ups to monitor the health of your gums and the condition of the dentures.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to get dentures?
The cost varies widely based on the type of dentures needed (full or partial), materials used, and insurance coverage. The cost of dentures can range from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand. We’ll discuss all the costs – with zero gray areas – before we begin the procedure.
How to clean dentures?
Dentures should be cleaned daily using a soft denture brush and a non-abrasive cleaner. Do not use regular toothpaste – as it can be too harsh. After each meal, we recommend rinsing your dentures to remove food particles. Soaking them overnight in a denture-cleaning solution can help keep them moist and prevent them from warping. We’ll provide a complete cleaning guide after the procedure.
What do dentures look like?
Dentures are designed to resemble your natural teeth closely. They consist of a pink-colored base to mimic the appearance of gum tissue and a set of porcelain or acrylic teeth. Modern dentures are crafted to look realistic, ensuring that they blend in with your natural teeth.
What are the best kind of dentures to get?
Dentures are unique to each patient – and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Your “perfect” set of dentures is based on the health of your gums, jawbone, and personal preference. Full dentures are ideal for those who have lost all of their teeth in an arch, while partial dentures are ideal for those who have some natural teeth remaining. We’ll discuss your best options in the consultation.
What is the most comfortable denture to wear?
The comfort level of dentures depends on how well they fit. Many find that flexible partial dentures, which are made from a softer, more pliable material, provide a more comfortable fit. Implant-supported dentures are considered more comfortable because they are stable and tend to feel more like natural teeth.
Are there dentures that don't need adhesive?
Yes, these generally involve implant-supported dentures, which are anchored into place by dental implants embedded in the jawbone, providing stability without the need for adhesives. The need for adhesive can often be minimized or eliminated by custom-making the dentures to fit perfectly.
