Quick Answer

Dr. Fadi Elzayat offers conventional dentures, immediate dentures, implant-supported overdentures, and All-on-4 alternatives depending on your goals and budget. Full dentures are an excellent solution for patients looking for an affordable way to replace all missing teeth, while implant-supported options provide greater stability for those wanting a more permanent solution.
People Also Ask
Cost depends on the type of denture and any teeth that need to come out first. During your exam, Dr. Elzayat will walk you through the options and give you a clear price before any work begins.
Most full dentures last about 5 to 10 years with proper care. Your jawbone and gums change shape over time, so a denture that fits well today may need a reline or replacement down the road.
Generally, no. Most dentists recommend taking dentures out at night to give your gums a rest and to lower the risk of gum irritation and infection.
Implants tend to offer better stability and help preserve the jawbone underneath. Dentures cost less upfront and can be removed for cleaning. The right choice depends on your budget, health, and how you want your smile to feel day to day.

Yes. Immediate dentures can be placed the same day as tooth extractions so you never go without teeth. A final custom denture is delivered after 8 to 12 weeks of healing.
-
Many PPO dental plans provide partial coverage for dentures. A-Dental Center verifies your benefits before treatment begins, at no charge to you.
-
Dentures are more affordable upfront and require no surgery. Dental implants preserve jawbone, feel more natural, and are permanently fixed. The best option depends on your health, budget, and goals.
-
Well-made dentures typically last 5 to 8 years with proper care. Relining may be needed every 1 to 2 years as the jawbone and gums change shape over time.
-
Missing teeth often cause facial collapse and a sunken appearance as the jawbone shrinks. Properly designed dentures restore lip and cheek support, helping many patients look younger and healthier. Implant-supported options preserve bone long-term for even better facial structure maintenance.

Who Needs Dentures
Common Reasons Patients Need Full Dentures
Understanding why patients come to A-Dental Center for dentures helps us provide the right solution for your specific situation.
Advanced Gum Disease
Periodontitis is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. When gum disease has progressed beyond treatment, extraction and full denture placement restores function and stops ongoing infection.
Multiple Missing Teeth
Patients missing most or all teeth in an arch benefit from full dentures that restore a complete smile, stable bite, and normal eating ability, without the complexity of individual implants for each tooth.
Failing Dental Work
Old crowns, bridges, and fillings that have failed or decayed beyond repair may make extraction and denture placement the most cost-effective and predictable path forward.
Severe Tooth Decay
Extensive decay affecting multiple teeth that cannot be saved individually is often best addressed comprehensively, with full dentures providing complete arch restoration in a single treatment plan.
Broken or Fractured Teeth
Teeth that have broken below the gumline or fractured through the root cannot be restored. When multiple teeth are affected, full extraction and denture placement may be the recommended approach.
Difficulty Eating or Chewing
Severe chewing difficulty affects nutrition and quality of life. Full dentures, and particularly implant-supported options, dramatically improve the ability to eat a normal, varied diet.
Self-Assessment
Does Any of This Sound Like You?
- My dentures move when I eat or talk
- I avoid certain foods because I can't chew comfortably
- I'm embarrassed to smile in photos
- My remaining teeth are failing
- I need multiple extractions
- I've been told I may need dentures
- I'm tired of dealing with loose teeth
- I want to restore my smile affordably
Your Next Step
If two or more of these apply, a free consultation is the right next step.
Dr. Elzayat will review your situation, walk you through your options, and give you a clear picture of costs. No pressure. No commitment required.
Candidacy
Who May Not Be a Good Candidate for Traditional Dentures?
Conventional removable dentures are an excellent solution for many patients, but not for everyone. The following patients often find implant-supported alternatives more appropriate.
- Patients seeking a permanently fixed solution that cannot be removed
- Patients frustrated with removable appliances or prior denture experiences
- Patients with severe gag reflexes triggered by palate coverage
- Patients wanting maximum chewing strength for a full diet
- Patients concerned about ongoing jawbone loss
- Patients who cannot or do not want to remove teeth for cleaning
Better Alternatives May Exist
Implant-Supported Options May Be a Significantly Better Fit
Implant-supported overdentures and All-on-4 address every limitation of conventional dentures. Dr. Elzayat evaluates both pathways at your free consultation and recommends the solution most aligned with your goals, not the most expensive one.
Find Out Which Option Is Right for MeHonest by design. Dr. Elzayat will tell you when dentures are not the right fit for your situation. The goal is the best long-term outcome for you, not the highest treatment cost.
Why Act Now
The 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, reducing your options for implant-supported solutions later.
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. Over time, this affects overall health and energy levels.
Speech Difficulties
Missing teeth alter the way air flows through the mouth. Common effects include lisping, slurring, and loss of confidence when speaking.
Teeth Shift Over Time
Neighboring teeth drift into empty spaces over time, becoming harder to restore later and increasing future treatment complexity and cost.
The sooner you restore your smile, the better the long-term outcome.
If you are in pain from failing teeth, our emergency dentistry team can see you the same day. A free consultation with Dr. Elzayat costs nothing and gives you a clear picture of your options.
Evidence-Based
Full Dentures vs No Treatment: What the Research Shows
Many patients delay tooth replacement due to cost or anxiety. Here is what research and clinical experience shows about the long-term impact of leaving missing teeth untreated.

Bone Health
What Happens to Your Jawbone Without a Tooth Root?
Natural Root Stimulates Bone
Natural tooth root stimulates bone through chewing forces, maintaining full bone width and height over time.
Up to 25% Width Lost in Year One
Without a root, the jawbone loses up to 25% of its width in the first year and continues to shrink. Dentures loosen progressively as the bone recedes.
Implant Halts Bone Resorption
A dental implant or implant-supported overdenture replaces the tooth root, stimulating the bone and halting resorption long-term.
Implant-supported overdentures and All-on-4 are the only denture options that preserve jawbone long-term. Ask Dr. Elzayat which option is right for your situation.

What to Expect
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.
Consultation and Impressions
Dr. Elzayat starts with a thorough examination of your mouth, gums, and jawbone. If remaining teeth cannot be saved, he outlines the extraction plan. Precise impressions of your gums are taken to capture the exact shape of your arch.
Bite Registration and Tooth Selection
Dr. Elzayat records your natural bite relationship and works with you to select tooth shade, shape, and size that look natural and appropriate for your face.
Wax Try-In
Before the final denture is fabricated, a wax mock-up allows you to see and test the fit, appearance, and bite. Adjustments are made before the final version is made.
Final Denture Delivery
The finished denture is delivered, fitted, and adjusted in the office. Dr. Elzayat checks bite, comfort, and appearance before you leave.
Follow-Up Adjustments
Two follow-up adjustment appointments are included. As your gums settle, minor refinements ensure long-term comfort and stability.

Caring for Your Full Dentures
Good daily habits extend the life of your dentures and keep your gums healthy. Follow these guidelines from Dr. Elzayat.
- Remove and rinse dentures after every meal
- Brush dentures with a soft-bristle denture brush daily. Do not use regular toothpaste
- Soak dentures overnight in water or a denture cleaning solution
- Brush your gums, tongue, and palate daily to stimulate circulation
- See Dr. Elzayat annually for a professional denture check and reline assessment
- If a tooth needs to be extracted before denture placement, see our tooth extraction page for what to expect
- Avoid very hot water, which can warp the denture base
- Handle dentures over a folded towel or sink of water to avoid breakage if dropped
Expected Lifespan by Type
How Long Will Your Dentures Last?
Implants themselves are designed to last a lifetime. Lifespan estimates refer to the prosthetic component. Regular relining every 1 to 2 years helps conventional dentures fit better for longer.
Common Concerns
Why Patients Delay Dentures — And Why They Eventually Move Forward
These are the most common reasons patients put off treatment. Here is an honest answer to each one.
I'm worried dentures will look fake.
Modern dentures are custom designed to match your facial features, smile line, and natural tooth appearance. A wax try-in appointment lets you see and approve the look before the final denture is made.
I can't afford treatment right now.
Most patients use PPO insurance, CareCredit, or Cherry financing to make dentures affordable. Full dentures start from $3,400 per arch and financing is available up to 60 months.
I'm afraid of extractions.
Sedation dentistry options at A-Dental Center help patients stay comfortable during treatment. Most patients report the procedure was much easier than expected.
I don't know if I'm ready.
A free consultation with Dr. Elzayat gives you clear answers about your options, timeline, and costs — without pressure or obligation. You leave knowing exactly where you stand.
I was told I need to wait.
In most cases, immediate dentures can be placed the same day as extractions. Final dentures follow after healing. You rarely need to go without teeth at any point during the process.
I'm worried about bone loss.
Conventional dentures do not prevent bone loss, but implant-supported options do. Dr. Elzayat will discuss which option best protects your jaw long-term at your free consultation.

FAQ
Full Dentures — 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 Dentures?
Initially:
- Soft foods
- Cut food into smaller pieces
- Avoid sticky foods
After adaptation:
- Most patients eat comfortably
- Implant-supported dentures provide significantly stronger chewing ability
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.

Why Do Dentures Become Loose Over Time?
• Jawbone shrinks after tooth loss
• Dentures no longer fit the gums
• Adhesives become necessary
• Sore spots develop
• Chewing becomes difficult
Implant-supported overdentures and All-on-4 prevent this problem by anchoring the teeth to implants instead of relying on gum support alone.
