Patients who have lost all of their teeth have several options at Lompoc Family Dental. A common choice is dentures, appliances with full sets of top or bottom teeth that are set into a plastic form and then temporarily attached to your gums with a fixative paste. You take them out to clean them.
Dentures that are carefully and securely fit will result in a natural look and feel.
Another popular option that we offer our patients is implant-retained dentures. An implant-retained denture is similar to regular dental implants. Instead of a crown that is attached to the implant, there are special snaps attached to the denture and the implant.
