Our experienced team utilizes the latest advancements in dental technology to ensure a precise fit and natural appearance that will help you smile with renewed confidence.

What are Permanent Dentures?

Unlike traditional removable dentures, permanent dentures are anchored securely in your jaw, providing a level of stability and functionality that closely mimics natural teeth. These are typically supported by dental implants, which are small titanium posts surgically placed into your jawbone. Over time, these implants fuse with the bone, creating a strong foundation for your new teeth.

Benefits of Choosing Permanent Dentures:

  • Enhanced Stability and Function: Say goodbye to slipping and shifting dentures! Permanent dentures are firmly fixed, allowing you to eat, speak, and laugh with confidence and without discomfort.
  • Natural Look and Feel: Our skilled dental professionals at Lompoc Dental & Associates meticulously design your permanent dentures to look and feel just like your natural teeth, enhancing your facial aesthetics and overall appearance.
  • Improved Comfort: Eliminate the bulkiness and potential irritation associated with removable dentures. Permanent dentures feel more natural and comfortable in your mouth.
  • Preservation of Jawbone: Dental implants, which support permanent dentures, help stimulate and preserve your jawbone. This prevents the bone loss that can occur with traditional dentures and contribute to facial sagging.
  • Increased Confidence: A complete and beautiful smile can significantly boost your self-esteem and confidence in social and professional settings.
  • Long-Term Solution: With proper care and maintenance, permanent dentures can last for many years, making them a worthwhile investment in your long-term oral health and well-being.
  • Easier Maintenance: Caring for permanent dentures is similar to caring for natural teeth – regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups are essential.

Our Permanent Denture Process at Lompoc Dental & Associates:

At Lompoc Dental & Associates, we are committed to providing personalized and comprehensive care. Our permanent denture process typically involves the following steps:

  1. Comprehensive Consultation and Evaluation: Your journey begins with a thorough examination, including X-rays and impressions, to assess your oral health, bone density, and discuss your individual needs and goals. Our experienced dentists will determine if permanent dentures are the right solution for you.
  2. Treatment Planning: We will develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific situation, outlining the number of implants required, the design of your dentures, and the timeline for the procedure.
  3. Implant Placement: The dental implant posts are surgically placed into your jawbone. This procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, and we prioritize your comfort throughout the process.
  4. Osseointegration: This is the healing period where the implants fuse with your jawbone, creating a stable foundation. This process can take several months. Temporary dentures may be provided during this time.
  5. Abutment Placement: Once osseointegration is complete, small connector posts called abutments are attached to the implants. These abutments will serve as anchors for your permanent dentures.
  6. Custom Denture Fabrication: Our skilled technicians will create custom-made dentures that perfectly fit your mouth and match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth.
  7. Denture Placement and Adjustment: Finally, your custom-crafted permanent dentures are securely attached to the abutments. We will make any necessary adjustments to ensure a comfortable fit and natural appearance.
  8. Ongoing Care and Maintenance: We will provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your permanent dentures and schedule regular checkups to ensure their longevity and your continued oral health.
