Full and Partial Dentures

At Glamour Dental Care in Montclair, California, Dr. Julio Ortega, DDS and his team utilize advanced digital intraoral scanning and 3D imaging to completely modernize the creation of custom dental prosthetics. By replacing messy, uncomfortable traditional putty trays with a sleek, handheld digital wand, the team captures thousands of real-time 3D data points inside the mouth to instantly generate a perfect, highly detailed digital blueprint of your gums and teeth on a chairside screen. This exact digital replica is sent directly to computerized design software, allowing for the precise fabrication of both partial and full dentures. This advanced workflow delivers significant advantages depending on your specific tooth-replacement needs

Partial Dentures: For patients who are only missing a few teeth, digital scanning provides an exceptionally accurate fit by mapping the unique contours of the remaining natural teeth. The primary advantage of a digital partial denture is its ability to clasp securely and blend with existing teeth, ensuring maximum stability, maintaining a proper natural bite, and preventing adjacent teeth from shifting.

Full Dentures: For patients missing an entire arch of teeth, digital imaging allows the team to map out complex edentulous soft tissues and jaw relationships with micron-level accuracy. The main advantage of a digital full denture is its superior adaptation to the oral tissues, which drastically minimizes common issues like slipping, sliding, and painful sore spots.
