Dentures

Losing teeth is tough -- but it doesn't mean giving up the things you love. Dr. Tran creates custom dentures right here in Huntington Beach that look natural, fit comfortably, and let you get back to living.

Restorative Dentistry

What Are Dentures and How Do They Work?

Dentures are removable prosthetic teeth designed to replace a full arch or several missing teeth so you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence again. Available as full or partial sets, each is custom-crafted by Dr. Tran at Peninsula Dentistry in Huntington Beach to fit your mouth and look completely natural.

If you've lost teeth -- whether it happened over time or all at once -- you know it affects everything. Eating, talking, smiling without thinking about it. Dentures give you that back. We're not talking about the bulky, obvious dentures your grandparents had. Today's materials look and feel so much better, and Dr. Tran takes the time to get the fit right so they're actually comfortable.

We offer full dentures when you need a complete arch replaced, and partial dentures when you've still got some healthy teeth to work with. Every set is custom-crafted to match your mouth, your gum color, and the look of natural teeth. Patients at our Huntington Beach office are often surprised at how realistic they turn out.

Dr. Tran's perspective

"Losing teeth is emotional -- I get that. My job is to give you options that feel natural and let you eat, smile, and live without thinking about it. We'll talk through everything, figure out what works for your situation and your budget, and make sure you leave here feeling good about the plan."

Full Dentures

Replace an entire arch of teeth with a complete, natural-looking set that rests on your gums.

Partial Dentures

Fill gaps between natural teeth with a removable partial that clasps securely in place.

Your Options at Peninsula Dentistry

What Types of Dentures Does Peninsula Offer?

From budget-friendly traditional dentures to permanently fixed implant bridges, Dr. Tran provides the full spectrum of tooth-replacement solutions under one roof in Huntington Beach.

Removable Options

  1. 1

    Complete Dentures

    Replace a full upper or lower arch of teeth. Rests on gum tissue; held in place by suction and natural muscle tone. Ideal when all remaining teeth have been removed.

  2. 2

    Partial Dentures

    Fill gaps when healthy natural teeth remain. Metal or flexible clasps anchor the partial to existing teeth, preventing remaining teeth from drifting out of position.

  3. 3

    Immediate Dentures

    Placed the same day as extraction so you never go without teeth. Made from pre-extraction impressions and adjusted once healing is complete. Great for patients who want to minimize downtime. Learn more about our oral surgery services.

  4. 4

    Economy Dentures

    A budget-friendly starting point using quality base materials. A practical solution for patients who need functional teeth quickly while planning a longer-term restoration strategy.

Fixed Options

  1. 1

    Implant-Supported Overdentures

    Two to four dental implants serve as anchors for a full arch denture that snaps securely in and out. Far more stable than traditional dentures with significantly less bone loss over time.

  2. 2

    All-on-4 Fixed Bridge

    Four strategically angled implants support a full-arch fixed bridge that functions like natural teeth. No removal, no adhesive — eat, speak, and smile without compromise. Explore dental implants.

  3. 3

    Individual Implant Crowns

    For patients missing one or several teeth rather than a full arch, individual implants topped with porcelain crowns deliver the highest fidelity to natural teeth in both aesthetics and function.

(714) 374-8800 Frequently asked dental questions
How long do dentures last?
With proper care, a well-made set of dentures from Peninsula Dentistry typically lasts 5 to 10 years before needing replacement. Over that time, normal wear on the acrylic teeth and gradual changes to your jawbone and gum tissue can affect the fit. Dr. Tran recommends annual checkups so he can monitor how your dentures are sitting and catch any issues early. Around the 3 to 5 year mark, many patients benefit from a reline — a process where we reshape the inner surface of the denture base to match your current gum contours, which extends the overall life of the appliance significantly. Relining is quick and much more affordable than a full replacement. Proper daily care and avoiding drops on hard surfaces also go a long way. Our Huntington Beach patients who follow their maintenance schedule consistently get the most years out of their dentures.
How do I care for my dentures?
Rinse your dentures after eating to remove loose food particles, and brush them daily with a soft-bristle brush and denture cleaner — not regular toothpaste, which is too abrasive and can scratch the surface. Soak them overnight in water or a denture solution to maintain their shape and keep the acrylic from drying out or warping. Also brush your gums, tongue, and any remaining natural teeth every day, because keeping those tissues healthy is critical for a comfortable fit. Handle dentures carefully over a folded towel or a sink filled with water, since they can crack if dropped on a hard surface. Dr. Tran and the Peninsula Dentistry team in Huntington Beach will walk you through a personalized care routine at your fitting appointment and are always available by phone if you have questions during those first few weeks of adjustment.
Will my dentures look natural?
Absolutely — and Dr. Tran takes a lot of pride in making sure they do. Modern dentures at Peninsula Dentistry are crafted with realistic tooth shapes, natural gum coloring, and lifelike translucency that mimics real tissue. During your consultation, Dr. Tran carefully selects the tooth shade, size, and arrangement to complement your facial features, skin tone, and the overall proportions of your face. He has been doing this in Huntington Beach for over 20 years, and his goal is always a result that looks like your natural smile — not obviously artificial. Many of our patients tell us that friends and family cannot tell they are wearing dentures at all. If you have old photos of your original smile, bring them in — we can use them as a reference to recreate the look you remember and feel most comfortable with.
Can I eat normally with dentures?
There is a short adjustment period when you first receive your dentures — usually about two to four weeks — while your mouth and muscles adapt to the new appliance. During that time, Dr. Tran recommends starting with soft foods cut into small pieces and chewing evenly on both sides of your mouth to keep the denture stable. As you grow more accustomed to them, you will be able to eat most foods comfortably, including things like grilled chicken, pasta, cooked vegetables, and bread. Very hard or sticky foods like caramel, hard nuts, or corn on the cob may still require some caution. At Peninsula Dentistry in Huntington Beach, we schedule a follow-up about one to two weeks after delivery to check the fit, make any necessary adjustments, and answer questions about eating, speaking, and daily comfort.
