About custom dentures
Dentures are a great choice if you need a replacement for multiple missing teeth. Dentures can restore the appearance of your smile and make it easier to eat and speak with full confidence. Orange, CA dentist Dr. Patrick Yoshikane can create either partial or full removable dentures for area patients. Full dentures replace all the teeth in your lower arch, upper arch, or both compared to partial dentures that leave some of your natural teeth to act as support. At Patrick Yoshikane, D.D.S., we can help you determine whether partial or full dentures are best for your goals and then have your dentures made custom to look natural. Make an appointment with Dr. Yoshikane to get more information about dentures.

Best Candidates for Dentures
You could be an ideal candidate for dentures if you have suffered the loss of many teeth but still have healthy gums and a strong jawbone. If you have natural teeth, they may either be removed if you want a full denture or you can keep them as support for a partial. During your consultation with Dr. Yoshikane, he will assess your mouth and discuss your choices to fit your needs and budget.
What To Expect
In some cases, Dr. Yoshikane will perform the removal on any teeth before impressions are taken, which will help make your custom dentures. Partial dentures will be shaded to blend with your remaining teeth for an attractive appearance. As soon as your dentures are crafted, Dr. Yoshikane will adjust the fit so they are comfortable and secure. He will also go over the best way to clean and care for your new dentures.
Follow-Up
It may take time before your dentures feel comfortable and natural; however, it should become easier to speak and eat normally. If the dentures feel loose, schedule a follow-up at our practice to get your dentures readjusted. You will need to clean your dentures with a toothbrush two times a day. When you take out your dentures, they need to be soaked so they don't dry out. You should continue to attend exams and cleanings at Patrick Yoshikane, D.D.S. so Dr. Yoshikane can check the fit and wear of your dentures and the overall health of your mouth. He will discuss when you need to have your dentures replaced or repaired; however, with proper treatment, your custom dentures can last for many years.
