Patient Stories
What are Dentures?
At its core, a denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues, designed to look and function like your natural smile. Beyond the obvious aesthetic benefits, they provide essential structural support for your cheeks and lips, preventing a sunken facial appearance. Modern prosthetics are crafted from advanced resins and ceramics, ensuring they are more comfortable, durable, and realistic than ever before. Whether you need to replace a full arch or just a few teeth, these devices restore your bite force and phonetic clarity, allowing you to live without the limitations of tooth loss.
How to choose the right Denture Specialist
When it comes to restorative dentistry, expertise matters. While many general practitioners offer basic services, a dentures specialist (often a prosthodontist) has years of additional training in the replacement of complex tooth and jaw structures.
Choosing the right denture specialist san diego:
- Precision Fit: Avoiding the common slipping or clicking sounds associated with ill-fitting sets.
- Custom Esthetics: Tailoring the shade and shape of the teeth to match your age and facial features.
- Long-term Oral Health: Ensuring the prosthetic doesn’t put undue pressure on your gums or remaining natural teeth.
Partial Denture Care
If you still have healthy natural teeth, you don’t need a full set of dentures. This is where partial dentures become a popular choice at Soft Touch Dental Clinic in San Diego. Partial dentures consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored base, often attached by a metal framework that is attached to your natural teeth.
Our clinic uses digital scanning technology. This allows for a much more accurate impression of your mouth compared to traditional glued-in impressions, resulting in a faster preparation time and greater comfort from day one.
Experience-Based Tip: The Adjustment Phase
Many patients expect their new teeth to feel perfect right away. However, even the best dentures require a break-in period.
- Tip: Start with soft foods like yogurt, eggs, or cooked vegetables.
- Tip: Read out loud so your tongue gets used to the new boundaries in your mouth.

Modern dentures are designed to be lightweight and comfortable. While there is an adjustment period, most patients adapt quickly and feel very comfortable with their new dentures.
You will need to start with soft foods and gradually add harder ones back into your diet. After a short adjustment period, most patients can enjoy a wide variety of foods again.
You should remove and rinse your dentures after meals. Brush them daily with a soft denture brush and a mild cleanser. It’s also recommended to soak them in a denture-cleaning solution overnight.
