Orange County Dentures

Prosthodontics is the dental specialty that involves the replacement and reconstruction of teeth. In addition to implants and cosmetic dentistry, this includes high quality dentures and partials, including "precision attachment partials", where the clasps (clips) are totally hidden.
At Blossoming Smiles, our dentures, (both full and partial dentures), are custom made by our own Dental Design Studio. To insure proper fit, bite and looks, it is often necessary to try in mockups before proceeding with the final denture. Customizing and attention to detail is much more easily controlled in this way. Also, turnaround time can be in a few days instead of a few weeks.

Traditional Partial

"Claspless" Precision Partials

Dentures

We provide our patients with dentures that are made utilizing the new, European injection molded technique called "Ivocap". The advantages of this technique are:

• Far less distortion occurs when the denture is processed from wax to acrylic.
• There is never any left-over chemical residue with the process, as can happen in conventional dentures. These residues can cause chronic tissue irritation.
• Higher strength.

Partials

We offer both conventional partial dentures, as well as "hidden clasp" partials:

• For the pink acrylic portions of your partial, we use the Ivocap process, mentioned above.
• We are highly experienced at creating "hidden clasp", or precision, partials. They are really cool, because when you look in the mirror, you often cannot see where your teeth end and the partial begins!
• If you choose to have regular clasps, we usually use softer, yellow gold clasps, which are gentler on your teeth, and are more adjustable without risk of breakage.
