The Treatment

Tooth replacement, tailored to you.

Dentures are custom-made removable appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore the appearance and function of your smile. At Ortega Cottage Dentistry, Dr. Kim offers three types depending on your specific situation.

A complete denture replaces all teeth in an arch and is typically needed when no natural teeth remain. A partial denture replaces multiple missing teeth while using your remaining natural teeth for support, and helps prevent the surrounding teeth from shifting into the gaps.

For patients who want more stability, implant-supported dentures anchor to dental implants placed in the jawbone, snapping securely into place for improved comfort and chewing. And for those seeking a fully fixed solution, All-on-X provides a permanent set of teeth anchored to implants that never comes out.

Dr. Kim conducts a thorough examination to assess which option best serves your oral health, lifestyle, and long-term goals.
Why Patients Choose

The practical way to restore what's missing.

For patients in San Juan Capistrano dealing with significant tooth loss, dentures offer a well established, accessible solution, with modern options that are far more comfortable and natural-looking than older generations of patients remember.
01

Fully custom fit

Every denture is made specifically for your mouth, ensuring better comfort, fit, and appearance than off-the-shelf alternatives.
02

Restores function

Eat and speak with greater confidence. Dentures restore much of the everyday function that tooth loss takes away.
03

Implant-supported option

For patients who want more stability, implant-supported dentures click securely into place, eliminating slipping and improving chewing ease.
04

A stepping stone or a solution

Dentures can serve as a long term solution or a transitional step toward a more permanent restoration like All-on-X.
A Conversation, Not a Quiz

Are dentures right for you?

Dentures are suitable for patients missing multiple or all teeth who want to restore function and appearance without surgery. The right type, complete, partial, or implant-supported, depends on how many teeth remain, your bone density, and your lifestyle preferences.

Dr. Kim will conduct a thorough exam and walk you through every option honestly, including whether implants or All-on-X might serve you better long-term.
