What Are Full Dentures?
Full dentures are removable dental appliances custom-made to replace all of the teeth in the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both. Each set is crafted to fit your mouth precisely, restoring your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
They are most often recommended for adults who have lost all or most of their teeth due to decay, gum disease, or injury — but full dentures can be designed for patients of any age who need complete tooth replacement.
If you are missing many teeth, dealing with extensive tooth loss, or finding that your existing dentures no longer fit well, A-Dental Center is here for you in North Hollywood.
We offer affordable full dentures in multiple formats — conventional, immediate, and implant-supported — so you can choose the option that fits your timeline, comfort level, and budget. Not sure which is right for you? That is exactly what your free consultation is for.
Are Full Dentures Right for You?
Full dentures are a good fit for many patients. Check the situations below. If two or more apply to you, a free consultation with Dr. Elzayat is the right next step.
- Missing all teeth or most of your teeth in the upper or lower arch
- Remaining teeth are severely decayed, broken, or too loose to save
- Advanced gum disease affecting how well teeth are held in place
- Failed bridgework or other restorations that no longer fit or function
- Looking for an affordable, non-surgical tooth replacement option
- Teeth have been extracted and you are healing before a final restoration
If two or more of these apply to you, let's talk. Schedule a free consultation with Dr. Elzayat. No pressure. No commitment required.
Call (818) 593-0700The Cost of Waiting
Delaying tooth replacement does more than leave a gap in your smile. The longer you wait, the more difficult and expensive the path to restoration becomes.
Bone Loss Accelerates
The jawbone begins to resorb within months of extraction. Without a tooth root or implant stimulating the bone, it shrinks steadily over time.
Facial Collapse
As bone recedes, cheeks and lips sink inward. This "sunken" appearance can age a face by 10 to 15 years and is difficult to reverse once established.
Nutritional Deficiencies
Difficulty chewing leads patients to avoid hard, nutritious foods like vegetables and protein. Over time, this affects overall health and energy levels.
Speech Difficulties
Missing teeth alter the way air flows through the mouth during speech. Common side effects include lisping, slurring, and loss of confidence when speaking.
Declining Confidence
Patients often withdraw from social situations, professional settings, and relationships. The emotional impact of tooth loss is consistently underestimated.
Remaining Teeth Shift
Neighboring teeth drift into empty spaces over time, becoming harder to restore later and increasing the complexity and cost of future treatment.
The sooner you restore your smile, the better the long-term outcome. Most patients wish they had acted sooner. A free consultation with Dr. Elzayat costs nothing and gives you a clear picture of your options. Call (818) 593-0700 to get started.
The Full Denture Fitting Process: Step by Step
Getting fitted for full dentures at A-Dental Center is a careful, unhurried process. Dr. Elzayat personally oversees every stage to make sure your dentures look natural, fit comfortably, and function well from day one. Here is exactly what happens.
Consultation and Impressions
Your First VisitDr. Elzayat starts with a thorough examination of your mouth, gums, and jawbone. If you have remaining teeth that cannot be saved, he outlines the extraction plan at this stage. Precise impressions of your gums are taken using a soft impression material that captures the exact shape of your arch. These impressions are the foundation of every denture that follows.
Bite Registration and Shade Selection
CustomizationOnce impressions are complete, we record how your upper and lower jaws come together. This bite registration ensures your denture does not cause jaw strain, headaches, or uneven pressure when you chew. You also choose your tooth shade at this appointment. We use a shade guide to find the tone that looks most natural for your skin tone and facial features. Most patients are surprised how many options there are.
Wax Try-In Fitting
Preview Before FinalBefore the final denture is fabricated, you get to see and feel a wax prototype in your mouth. This is one of the most important steps in the process and one that many dental offices skip. The try-in lets you and Dr. Elzayat evaluate how the teeth look, how the denture fits, and how it feels before any permanent material is used. Changes to tooth position, shade, or fit are easy to make at this stage. Much harder after.
Final Delivery and Adjustments
Delivery DayYour finished denture is placed and Dr. Elzayat checks the fit, bite, and appearance carefully. Minor refinements are made chairside the same day. It is completely normal to need small adjustments during this appointment. The goal is that you leave feeling confident and comfortable. Most patients describe this day as genuinely exciting.
Follow-Up Appointments
Included in TreatmentFollow-up appointments are included in your treatment cost, not billed separately. As your gums settle and adapt over the first weeks, small fit issues can develop. These appointments exist to resolve them quickly. Most patients need one or two follow-up visits. By the end, your denture should feel secure, stable, and natural during eating and conversation.

Real Patient Transformation Timeline
Every patient's journey is a little different. This is what most patients experience from their first appointment through the first year with their new dentures.
| Milestone | What Patients Experience |
|---|---|
| Day 1 | Impressions taken, treatment plan confirmed with Dr. Elzayat. If extractions are needed, a temporary immediate denture is placed so you leave with teeth. |
| Week 1 | Your new or temporary denture is delivered. Some mild soreness and increased saliva production is completely normal at this stage. A follow-up appointment is scheduled. |
| Month 1 | Soreness resolves for most patients. Speech adjusts as your tongue and cheeks adapt. Soft foods are recommended while your mouth heals. Adjustment appointment included. |
| Month 3 | Denture is fully integrated into daily life. Most patients are eating a wide variety of foods comfortably. Confidence in speaking and smiling returns noticeably. |
| Year 1 | Confidence fully restored. A follow-up visit with Dr. Elzayat checks fit, bone changes, and overall oral health. Minor relining may be recommended as gums settle. |

Why Patients Choose Full Dentures Over Implants
Implants are often the better long-term solution. But they are not the right choice for everyone right now. These are the real reasons patients choose full dentures, and every one of them is valid.
Lower Upfront Cost
Budget is the most common factor. Full dentures starting from $3,400 allow patients to restore function and appearance without taking on a large financial commitment right now.
No Surgery Required
Patients with certain health conditions, blood thinners, or a general preference for non-invasive treatment appreciate that conventional dentures require no incisions, anesthesia, or healing period.
Faster Timeline
Conventional dentures can be completed in weeks. Implants require 3 to 6 months of healing before the final restoration. When time matters, dentures deliver a quicker path to a complete smile.
Insurance Usually Covers Dentures
Most PPO dental plans include coverage for full dentures under major restorative benefits. Implants are rarely covered. For patients using insurance, dentures often carry significantly lower out-of-pocket cost.
A Reversible Starting Point
Patients who start with dentures can upgrade to implant-supported overdentures or All-on-4 later as their financial situation or preferences change. Dentures are never a permanent dead end.
Dr. Elzayat presents all your options honestly during your free consultation. There is no pressure toward any particular treatment. The goal is to find what works best for your health, timeline, and budget. Call (818) 593-0700 to get started.
Caring for Your Full Dentures
Well-maintained dentures last longer, fit better, and keep your gums healthy. Follow these daily habits to protect your investment.
Daily Cleaning
- Brush dentures daily with a soft-bristle denture brush and non-abrasive cleanser
- Never use regular toothpaste: it scratches the denture surface over time
- Rinse dentures after every meal to remove food particles
- Avoid hot water: it can warp the acrylic base material
Overnight Soaking
- Remove dentures at night to give your gums a rest
- Soak in a denture solution or clean water overnight to keep them moist
- Never let dentures dry out: they can warp and lose their shape
- Store in a covered denture case away from pets and children
Denture Adhesive Tips
- Well-fitted dentures should not require constant adhesive use
- If you need adhesive every day, your dentures may need relining
- Apply a small amount to a dry denture for best hold
- Denture adhesive is a short-term aid, not a long-term fix for poor fit
When to Call the Office
- Dentures feel loose or slip during eating or speaking
- Persistent sore spots that do not resolve within two weeks
- Cracks, chips, or broken teeth in the denture
- It has been more than 12 months since your last fit check
Dentures that fit well need less maintenance. If your dentures feel loose, need constant adhesive, or are causing discomfort, call A-Dental Center for a fit assessment and relining. (818) 593-0700

FAQ
Full Dentures in North Hollywood CA Frequently Asked Questions
How much do full dentures cost in Los Angeles?
Full dentures in Los Angeles typically cost between $1,200 and $3,500 per arch depending on the materials used, the number of fitting appointments included, and whether extractions are needed beforehand. A complete upper and lower set ranges from $2,400 to $7,000 at most private practices. At A-Dental Center, we provide transparent pricing and a written cost breakdown at your first visit. Book a full denture consultation to get an accurate quote for your specific case.
Does insurance cover full dentures in California?
Most dental insurance plans cover a portion of full denture costs, typically 50% after your deductible is met and up to your annual maximum benefit. Coverage varies by plan. PPO plans generally offer broader coverage than HMO plans. A-Dental Center works with most major dental insurance providers including Delta Dental, Cigna, and MetLife. Call us at (818) 937-1699 or submit an inquiry online and our team will verify your benefits before your first appointment.
Does Medi-Cal cover dentures in California?
Yes. Medi-Cal Dental (formerly Denti-Cal) covers full dentures for eligible adult members in California. Coverage includes one set of full dentures every five years per arch. Prior authorization is required before treatment begins. A-Dental Center accepts Medi-Cal Dental. Contact our North Hollywood office to confirm your current eligibility and schedule a covered denture appointment.
How long does it take to get full dentures?
Conventional full dentures take five to eight weeks from the first impression to final placement. The process involves four to five appointments covering initial impressions, bite registration, a wax try-in to confirm fit and appearance, and final delivery with adjustments. Patients who need extractions before denture placement add healing time of six to eight weeks before the final denture is fitted. Learn more about the denture process at A-Dental Center.
Can you get same-day dentures in North Hollywood?
Yes. A-Dental Center offers immediate dentures in North Hollywood, which are placed on the same day as your remaining tooth extractions. This means you leave our office with teeth rather than waiting weeks without them. Immediate dentures require a follow-up reline appointment several months later as your gums heal and change shape. Call (818) 937-1699 to find out if same-day dentures are the right option for your case.
What is the difference between immediate and conventional dentures?
Immediate dentures are fabricated before your extractions and placed the same day your teeth are removed. You never go without teeth, but the fit changes as your gums heal and a reline is required within three to six months. Conventional dentures are made after extractions and full gum healing, which produces a more precise fit from the start. Both are available at A-Dental Center. Compare immediate vs. conventional dentures at your consultation and our team will recommend the right approach based on your timeline and dental health.
How long do full dentures last?
Full dentures typically last 7 to 10 years with proper daily care and regular professional maintenance. The acrylic base and artificial teeth wear down over time, and the fit changes as the jawbone gradually resorbs beneath the denture. Attending routine checkups at A-Dental Center every six months allows your dentist to monitor fit and recommend a reline or replacement before the denture causes tissue damage or affects chewing function.
Do full dentures hurt?
New dentures cause soreness and pressure points during the first two to four weeks as your gums adjust. This is normal. Persistent pain after the adjustment period usually means the denture needs a professional adjustment to correct a pressure point or uneven bite. At A-Dental Center, fitting appointments include follow-up adjustments at no additional charge during the initial period. Contact our office if your dentures are causing ongoing discomfort so we can resolve it quickly.
Can I eat normally with full dentures?
Most patients can eat a wide variety of foods with well-fitted full dentures, but the experience is different from eating with natural teeth. Bite force is reduced by approximately 70% compared to natural teeth or dental implants. Sticky, hard, or chewy foods require more care. Patients adapt over several weeks and most find a comfortable dietary routine. Poorly fitted dentures make eating significantly more difficult, which is why regular denture checkups are important.
What are the alternatives to full dentures?
For patients missing all or most of their teeth, the main alternatives to full dentures are:
Dental implants replace each tooth individually with a titanium post and crown. Implant-supported overdentures snap onto two to four implants for a more secure fit than a conventional denture. All-on-4 or All-on-6 fixed implant bridges replace a full arch with four to six implants and a permanent prosthesis. Compare all options at A-Dental Center to find the solution that fits your health, lifestyle, and budget.
Are implant-supported dentures better than regular dentures?
For most patients, implant-supported dentures outperform conventional dentures in fit, function, and long-term bone preservation. They snap onto implants placed in the jawbone, which eliminates slipping, reduces adhesive use, and stimulates bone to prevent resorption. The upfront cost is higher, typically $3,500 to $7,000 per arch compared to $1,200 to $3,500 for a conventional denture, but the long-term value is greater. Ask our team at A-Dental Center whether implant-supported dentures are a viable option for your bone density and budget.
What is the difference between full dentures and partial dentures?
Full dentures replace an entire arch of missing teeth when no natural teeth remain. Partial dentures replace several missing teeth while clasping onto remaining healthy teeth for support. If you still have healthy teeth in the arch, a partial denture preserves them and is a more conservative option than full extraction followed by a complete denture. Your A-Dental Center dentist will assess how many healthy teeth remain and recommend the appropriate restoration at your denture consultation.
How do I know if full dentures are right for me?
Full dentures are appropriate when all or nearly all teeth in an arch are missing or require extraction due to advanced decay, gum disease, or structural damage. The best way to confirm candidacy is an in-person examination. Your A-Dental Center dentist will take X-rays, assess your remaining teeth and gum tissue, review your overall health, and compare full dentures against alternatives such as implant-supported options before making a recommendation. Book your evaluation here.
Will my dentures look natural?
Modern full dentures are designed to look like natural teeth. Tooth shape, shade, and size are selected to match your facial proportions, skin tone, and age. The gum-colored acrylic base is tinted to blend with your natural gum tissue. Patients who invest in a mid-range or premium denture tier receive a higher level of customization. View smile results at A-Dental Center or ask to see patient photos at your consultation.
Can dentures be made to look like my real teeth?
Yes. If you have photographs of your natural smile, your dentist and dental lab technician can reference them when selecting tooth shape and shade for your dentures. Many patients bring photos from before tooth loss began so the final result reflects their original smile as closely as possible. Discuss smile matching at your A-Dental Center consultation and bring any photos you have of your natural teeth.
How often do dentures need to be relined or replaced?
Dentures typically need a professional reline every one to two years as the jawbone resorbs and the fit loosens. A full replacement is generally needed every 7 to 10 years as the acrylic and teeth wear down. Attending regular checkups at A-Dental Center allows your dentist to catch fit changes early and recommend a reline before the loose fit causes sore spots or accelerated bone loss.
Can I sleep with my dentures in?
Most dentists recommend removing dentures overnight to give your gum tissue time to rest and recover from the pressure of daily wear. Wearing dentures 24 hours a day increases the risk of gum irritation, fungal infections, and accelerated bone resorption. Store your dentures in water or a denture cleaning solution overnight to maintain their shape. Ask your A-Dental Center dentist at your next appointment if you have specific concerns about overnight wear.
What is denture adhesive and do I need it?
Denture adhesive is a cream, powder, or strip applied to the fitting surface of a denture to improve suction and stability. Well-fitted dentures should not require adhesive for routine daily function. If you are relying on adhesive regularly, it is a signal your dentures need a reline or replacement. Occasional use as supplemental support is acceptable. If adhesive use is increasing, schedule a denture fit assessment at A-Dental Center before the fit worsens and begins causing tissue damage.
How do I clean my full dentures?
Remove dentures after meals and rinse under running water. Brush the full surface once daily with a soft denture brush and a non-abrasive denture cleanser, not regular toothpaste, which scratches the acrylic and creates grooves where bacteria accumulate. Soak dentures overnight in water or an effervescent cleaning tablet solution. Rinse before reinserting each morning. Ask your A-Dental Center dentist to demonstrate the correct cleaning technique at your fitting appointment.
Can I get dentures if I have gum disease?
Active gum disease must be treated before dentures are placed. Placing dentures on top of infected or inflamed gum tissue leads to denture failure, poor fit, and worsens the underlying infection. A-Dental Center provides periodontal treatment to get your gums healthy before beginning the denture process. Once your tissue is stable and healed, your dentist will confirm you are ready for impressions and fabrication.
What happens to my jawbone when I wear dentures?
Bone resorption is one of the most significant long-term consequences of full dentures. Without tooth roots stimulating the jawbone, the bone gradually shrinks over time. This is why dentures become loose and require relines as the years pass. According to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, patients can lose up to 25% of their jawbone width in the first year after tooth loss. Implant-supported dentures preserve bone by mimicking the stimulation of natural tooth roots. Discuss bone preservation options at A-Dental Center.
Can I upgrade from dentures to dental implants later?
Yes, but the timing and feasibility depend on how much bone remains. Bone resorption from long-term denture wear reduces the amount of bone available for implant placement. Patients who act earlier, before significant bone loss has occurred, are better candidates for dental implants or implant-supported overdentures. A bone graft may be needed if resorption has already occurred. Schedule an implant candidacy evaluation at A-Dental Center to find out where you stand.
What is the difference between cheap and quality dentures?
Economy dentures use standardized tooth molds, thinner acrylic, and fewer fitting appointments. Quality dentures are made from premium acrylic, feature individually shaped teeth matched to your facial proportions, and involve multiple appointments to refine fit and bite. Quality dentures last significantly longer and cause fewer sore spots from poor pressure distribution. If cost is a barrier, denture financing at A-Dental Center through CareCredit or Cherry allows you to access a better tier without paying the full amount upfront.
How do I afford dentures without insurance?
Patients without dental insurance in California have several options. Medi-Cal Dental covers full dentures for eligible adults at no cost. Third-party financing through CareCredit and Cherry at A-Dental Center spreads the cost into monthly payments. Dental schools in Los Angeles such as UCLA and USC offer reduced-rate dentures. Dental discount plans reduce out-of-pocket costs at participating providers. A-Dental Center also offers in-house payment options. Contact our North Hollywood office to review all available options before your first appointment.
