Dentures in Altadena, California
Dentures at Mint Dental Loft
Dentures at Mint Dental Loft in Altadena, CA are made to replace multiple or all missing teeth in a way that supports your bite, cheeks, and lips. By carefully planning the shape, shade, and fit, we help you regain everyday comfort and confidence while protecting your remaining teeth and oral health.
How Dentures work
Dentures are custom-made prosthetic teeth attached to a base that looks like natural gum tissue. Depending on your needs, you may receive a partial denture that clips around existing teeth or a full denture that replaces an entire arch. After a thorough exam, we take impressions, record how your jaws fit together, and design dentures that suit your smile, speech, and facial profile. We then adjust the fit over time to keep them as comfortable and secure as possible.
- Full Dentures Replace an entire upper or lower arch of teeth, restoring your ability to chew and smile.
- Partial Dentures Fill in spaces where some teeth are missing, using your remaining teeth for support.
- Immediate Dentures Placed soon after extractions so you never have to go without teeth while you heal.
- Dentures with implant support Use dental implants for added stability, reducing slipping and sore spots.
Technology and techniques for better fit and appearance
We use modern materials and careful measuring techniques to create Dentures that feel as natural as possible. Attention to detail matters: from the way your teeth meet to the fullness of your lips and cheeks, everything is designed to support a balanced, confident look.
- Detailed impressions and bite records for a more precise fit
- Tooth shades and shapes selected to match your age, skin tone, and preferences
- Quality acrylic and denture teeth materials for durability and lifelike appearance
- Adjustments and relines to improve comfort as your mouth changes over time
- Collaboration with implant planning when adding support under your dentures
Am I a candidate for Dentures?
You may be a good candidate for Dentures if you are missing many or all of your teeth, have teeth that cannot be predictably restored, or are looking for a more stable alternative to an older, loose denture. During your visit, we’ll review your medical history, examine your gums and any remaining teeth, and talk through all options, including implants, bridges, and partial dentures, so you can choose what feels right for you.
Before treatment begins, we’ll explain timelines, what to expect as you adjust to new Dentures, and how to care for them at home. We’ll also review your insurance coverage and out-of-pocket costs in clear language and discuss payment options or FINANCING_NOTES to help you plan comfortably.

Dentures FAQs
- What are Dentures?
- Dentures are removable appliances that replace multiple or all missing teeth. They are custom-made to fit your mouth and restore your ability to chew, speak clearly, and smile with confidence.
- What is the difference between full and partial Dentures?
- Full Dentures replace all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw, while partial Dentures fill gaps when you still have some healthy teeth remaining. Partials use your existing teeth for support, helping keep them from shifting.
- Will Dentures look natural?
- Yes. At Mint Dental Loft in Altadena, CA, we carefully choose tooth shapes and shades that suit your face and preferences. The goal is a smile that looks natural for you, not “one-size-fits-all.”
- How long does it take to get Dentures?
- The process usually takes several appointments over a few weeks. We’ll take impressions, record your bite, and try in a wax version of your Dentures to fine-tune the fit and appearance before making the final set.
- Are Dentures comfortable?
- It’s normal for Dentures to feel different at first. Your cheeks and tongue need time to adapt, and you may notice changes in speech or chewing for a short period. With minor adjustments and practice, most patients become comfortable and confident wearing their Dentures.
- Do I have to wear Dentures all the time?
- We will give you specific instructions based on your case. Many patients wear their Dentures during the day and remove them at night to rest the gums and keep the appliance clean. Removing them regularly also helps your tissues stay healthy.
- How do I care for my Dentures?
- Brush your Dentures daily with a soft brush and non-abrasive cleaner, and rinse them after meals when possible. At night, most Dentures should be stored in water or a recommended soaking solution. You’ll still need to gently brush your gums, tongue, and any remaining teeth to keep your mouth healthy.
- What if my Dentures feel loose or cause sore spots?
- If your Dentures rub, slip, or feel uncomfortable, contact Mint Dental Loft for an adjustment. Do not attempt to adjust them yourself, as this can damage the appliance or your mouth. Over time, your gums and bone may change shape, and periodic relines or remakes help maintain a good fit.
- Are Dentures covered by insurance?
- Many dental insurance plans cover part of the cost of Dentures, up to plan limits. Coverage varies, so our team will review your benefits, provide a clear estimate, and discuss payment options and FINANCING_NOTES before treatment begins.
- How do I get started with Dentures at Mint Dental Loft?
- To explore Dentures or other tooth replacement options, schedule a visit at Mint Dental Loft in Altadena, CA by calling (626) 610-4413. We’ll perform a thorough exam, discuss your goals, and create a personalized plan to restore your smile and confidence.
