Step by Step Process
Your Visit, Step-by-Step
Comprehensive Consultation
We begin with a thorough exam and digital imaging to assess your gum health and bone structure. Dr. Lee listens to your goals to determine if full or partial dentures are the right fit for you.
Precise Impressions
We take highly accurate impressions and measurements of your mouth. This ensures your custom dentures will have the most secure and comfortable fit possible.
Trial and Fitting
Before the final set is made, we may have you try on a “wax version.” This allows us to check the fit, the bite, and the appearance of the teeth to ensure you love the way they look and feel.
Final Customization
Our laboratory crafts your dentures using high-quality, durable materials. Dr. Lee then performs the final fitting, making any necessary adjustments to ensure perfect comfort.
On-Going Support
We provide detailed instructions on how to care for your new dentures. Our team is always here for follow-up adjustments to ensure your smile remains comfortable as your mouth adjusts.

What Our Patients Say About Us
"Best experience ever"
First timers at this kid dental center best experience ever having a kid that hates the dentist and she did awesome she felt comfortable. Staff here is super friendly Pricilla and Dr Lee made us feel welcomed and comfortable throughout the whole process. They explained the whole process which I love communicating and knowing what’s going on. I recommend this location to everyone with kids.
"Amazing staff and amazing strategies"
Amazing staff and amazing strategies to make kids willing to do the work on their teeth. My son tried 2 different places and he would not open his mouth to fix his cavities but here 3 amazing staff members were able to make him comfortable and fix 5 cavities at once. I’m very happy that he got his feeling finally done.
How long does it take to get used to new dentures?
It typically takes a few weeks to adjust to the feel of new dentures. Your speech and chewing will improve daily as your muscles learn to work with your new teeth.
How do I clean my dentures?
You should brush your dentures daily with a soft-bristle brush and a non-abrasive cleanser. It’s also important to soak them overnight to keep them clean and maintain their shape.
Will my dentures need to be replaced?
Over time, your mouth naturally changes shape. While the dentures themselves are durable, they may need to be “relined” or replaced every 5 to 7 years to maintain a perfect fit.
Can I sleep with my dentures in?
It is generally recommended to remove your dentures at night. This allows your gum tissues to rest and stay healthy.
Does insurance cover dentures?
Most PPO plans and Medi-Cal (Denti-Cal) cover a significant portion of denture costs. Our team will help you verify your specific coverage during your consultation.
