Looking at your options for restorative treatments can be overwhelming – on top of managing the symptoms that come with an incomplete smile. At Uno Dental, we’ll help you seek out the best options for you and your goals with industry-leading restorative technologies.

Many people have a specific picture in mind when they think of dentures, which is older patients who require a full set of teeth. However, it’s important to know dentures aren’t always for older patients or for full restoration. In fact, dentures can be a very customizable and reliable way to restore lost teeth as an alternative to implants or bridges. If you’re hesitant about permanent changes to your existing teeth that are sometimes required with restorative treatments, dentures can be a great alternative.

Dentures are fabricated sets of teeth made from acrylic materials that rest snugly on the gums and function just like your natural teeth do. They can come in full sets or partial restorations, which means they can be customized to your existing smile. Modern dentures are even more natural-looking and undetectable than dentures of the past, meaning you can enjoy a complete and radiant smile. At Uno Dental, we can create the right restorative treatment plan for you while you enjoy a relaxed, thorough approach to your long-term oral health with the help of Dr. Kandar and our team.

Why Choose Dentures at Uno Dental San Francisco?

One of the most important reasons to consider dentures is that they can help maintain your facial structure over time. When having large gaps in your teeth, it can cause your facial muscles to sag because of the lost bone structure. Additionally, without teeth in place, you can experience over-closure of your jaw which can cause problems later on. Dentures can act as a supportive structure in place of your natural teeth so you don’t experience complications with your lower face. Additionally, they can complete your smile and restore your chewing and talking ability.

We understand it can be difficult to consider your restorative options, but our team is here to help. You’ll enjoy a relaxed and thorough approach to your oral health in our luxurious San Francisco office. Dr. Kandar and our team can make sure you’re confident in your customized treatment plan and your smile with our quality, customized care.

What Can I Expect During Dentures Treatment?

Your denture treatment begins with determining the right type of dentures for you. If you opt for a full set, any remaining teeth will need to be extracted first and the gums will need to heal over. Sometimes, dentures can be supported by implants and these will be placed during a separate procedure. Then, an impression or scan can be taken of your mouth and sent to a dental lab so your full or partial dentures can be fabricated.  Once they’re ready, Dr. Kandar will check the fit and make any necessary adjustments. We’ll also show you how to maintain and clean your dentures so you get the most long-term use out of them.

How Can I Get the Best Results from My Dentures Treatment?

Making sure your dentures last for many years takes some important steps. This includes cleaning them daily with a soft-bristled brush and denture cleaner to remove food, bacteria, and buildup. You should also make sure to remove and rinse them after eating. It’s always important to handle them carefully and avoid dropping or damaging them. You’ll need to soak them overnight so they retain their moisture while not in your mouth. Finally, meet with Dr. Kandar regularly to check your fit and make sure your mouth stays healthy. Our team is here to make sure you enjoy your new smile for the long term with a pampered experience and a focus on your most confident self yet.
