Dentures & Partials in Willits, CA

Full vs. Partial Dentures

Full dentures replace an entire arch of teeth (upper, lower, or both) and rest directly on the gums. Partial dentures fill in the gaps left by a few missing teeth while clipping onto your remaining natural teeth for extra stability. Both are removable and custom-made to fit the shape of your mouth.

Is It Time for Dentures?

• You've lost several teeth to decay, gum disease, or injury
• You're tired of avoiding certain foods because of missing or unstable teeth
• Your bite has shifted, causing jaw discomfort or trouble chewing
• You feel self-conscious about gaps when you smile or speak

What to Expect

1. 1
   Consultation. We evaluate your remaining teeth and gum health to decide whether full or partial dentures — or a combination with other treatments — makes sense.
2. 2
   Impressions & fitting. A custom mold is taken so your dentures fit your mouth precisely, not a generic shape.
3. 3
   Adjustment period. It's normal to need a short adjustment period as your mouth gets used to wearing them — we'll fine-tune the fit as needed.

Caring for Your Dentures

Clean them daily with a denture brush and non-abrasive cleanser, handle them over a folded towel or water-filled sink in case you drop them, and bring them to regular checkups so we can confirm the fit is still right as your mouth naturally changes over time.
