Loss of teeth impacts eating, speaking clearly, and confidence. Missing teeth in the smile can cause teeth to move, the jaw to shrink, and the facial structure to change. Dentures provide a structured approach for patients who have lost some or all of their teeth.
At Pannu Dental Group, comprehensive prosthetic dentistry focuses on precision fit, natural aesthetics, and long-term stability. With multiple locations in San Jose, Cupertino, Fremont, and Sunnyvale, patients receive advanced denture care supported by digital diagnostics and modern materials.
A professional evaluation determines the most appropriate denture type based on jaw structure, so book your consultation today.
Dentures are custom-made, removable, or fixed prosthetics that replace missing teeth and supporting tissues. Dentures help with eating, speaking, and supporting the lips and cheeks.
Implant-retained dentures attach securely to titanium implants placed in the jawbone. These implants function as artificial tooth roots, creating a stable foundation that prevents movement during chewing or speaking.
This option significantly increases bite strength and reduces long-term bone loss by stimulating the jaw. Implant-supported dentures eliminate the need for adhesives and improve overall comfort.
Immediate dentures are installed on the same day as the extraction of the teeth. This ensures that the patient does not go through a period when he or she has no teeth.
As the gums readjust over the coming months, the fit is perfected. Immediate dentures act as a protective mechanism for the extraction areas and aid in the healing process while still providing an aesthetic solution.
Dentures offer restorative and protective advantages beyond cosmetic improvement.
Digital X-rays and advanced imaging are used to assess bone density, gum condition, and the status of any existing teeth. The dentist then evaluates jaw position, facial features, and overall oral health.
Highly detailed impressions are taken of the exact contours of the upper and lower jaws. Bite registration is used to record the way upper and lower jaws meet to ensure even distribution of chewing forces.
Facial proportions, lip support, and smile line are also assessed to produce a natural-appearing denture.
A wax model of the denture is produced for assessment. This stage enables the dentist to check tooth placement, color, bite comfort, and speech clarity. Any modifications can then be made before the final denture is produced.
The completed denture is delivered and carefully adjusted. The dentist checks for pressure points, ensures proper occlusion, and confirms comfort during speaking and chewing. Minor refinements improve stability and overall adaptation to the gum tissue.
