Why El Dorado Hills Patients Choose Mantena Dental for Dentures
We know that deciding to get dentures can feel like a big step. That's why our team focuses on a judgment-free, supportive experience that puts your comfort first.
Advanced Technology for Better-Fitting Dentures
We use digital impressions and 3D scanning (iTero) to capture precise measurements of your mouth. This means no messy impression trays and a more accurate fit from the start. Better fit means better comfort and function.
Flexible Payment Options & Insurance We Accept
Dentures are an investment in your quality of life. We work with a wide range of insurance providers, and for patients without coverage, we offer in-house payment plans and third-party financing through Affirm, CareCredit, and Cherry. Learn more on our Insurance & Financing page.
Denture Options We Offer
We provide several types of dentures to match your specific needs. Whether you're missing a few teeth or need a full arch, we'll help you choose the right solution.
Full (Complete) Dentures
Full dentures replace all of the teeth on your upper or lower arch. They sit on your gums and are held in place by natural suction or a dental adhesive. They restore basic chewing function and give you a complete smile.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures in El Dorado Hills fill in gaps left by one or more missing teeth. They attach to your healthy teeth with metal or tooth-colored clasps, preventing remaining teeth from shifting and helping you chew more naturally.
Digital Dentures
Yes — the practice currently offers digital dentures as a named service offering using iTero scanning. Our digital denture workflow uses iTero scanning and computer-aided design to produce a denture that fits more precisely than traditional methods. The result is fewer adjustments and a faster path to a comfortable smile.
Implant-Supported Dentures
For a more stable option, implant-supported dentures snap onto dental implants surgically placed in your jaw. They eliminate slipping and provide better chewing power. Learn more on our Snap-In Implant Dentures page.
Dentures vs. Dental Implants — Which Is Right for You?
The table below compares the two main approaches to replacing a full arch of missing teeth. Both restore function and appearance, but there are key differences.
| Feature | Dentures | Dental Implants |
|---|---|---|
| Cost range | Generally lower upfront cost | Higher upfront cost, often more durable long-term |
| Procedure invasiveness | Non-surgical (impressions, no surgery) | Surgical placement of implants |
| Bone preservation | Does not prevent jawbone loss | Stimulates bone, prevents deterioration |
| Maintenance requirements | Removable; requires daily cleaning and periodic relines | Fixed; brushed like natural teeth |
| Longevity | 5–8 years before replacement or reline | 15–20+ years with proper care |
| Candidacy requirements | Suitable for most patients, including those with significant bone loss | Requires adequate bone density or grafting |
| Aesthetic outcome | Natural-looking but may shift | Most stable, lifelike feel and function |
For many patients, implant-supported options like All-on-4 / Full-Arch Implants offer a permanent solution that feels and functions like natural teeth. If you're a candidate for implants, upgrading from conventional dentures can dramatically improve your quality of life.
What to Expect With Your Denture Treatment at Mantena Dental
We walk you through every phase so you always know what's coming next.
Your Consultation and Impressions
During your first visit, Dr. Mantena or Dr. Dhillon will examine your mouth, discuss your goals, and take digital impressions. We'll also talk about tooth shade, shape, and fit so your final denture looks natural and feels right.
Fitting, Adjustments & Follow-Up Care
After your denture is fabricated, you'll come in for a fitting. We'll check the fit and make small adjustments as needed. Over the following weeks, your mouth will adapt, and we'll schedule follow-ups to ensure continued comfort.
Frequently Asked Questions
Conventional dentures take about 4 to 6 weeks from the first appointment to delivery. This includes impressions, fabrication, and fitting appointments. Digital dentures can sometimes shorten that timeline.
Most dental insurance plans, including many we accept, cover a portion of denture costs. We'll help you check your benefits and understand your coverage before treatment begins.
Yes, but expect a short adjustment period. Start with soft foods, cut food into small pieces, and chew on both sides of your mouth. Over a few weeks, you should be able to eat most of the foods you used to enjoy.
Missing teeth can cause your remaining teeth to shift, leading to bite problems and jaw pain. Over time, bone loss in your jaw can change your facial shape. Replacing teeth with dentures or implants helps preserve your oral structure and long-term health. If you still have healthy teeth but need to fill gaps, we also offer Crowns & Bridges as an alternative. Our Restorative Dentistry hub has more information about all of your tooth replacement options. Schedule a consultation today to find out which denture solution is best for your needs.
