Dentures are removable replacement teeth made to fit your mouth. At Genuine Care Dental in Saratoga, CA, we offer several kinds, so you can choose what suits your life.
Dentures may help if you have lost teeth to decay, gum disease, or injury, or if teeth cannot be saved. We will look at your mouth, talk about your goals, and help you choose between full dentures, partial dentures, or another option.
We start with an exam and a conversation, and if teeth need to come out we can plan a tooth extraction as part of your care. We take impressions or scans, and your dentures are made to fit your mouth and match the shade and shape of natural teeth. At your fitting, we check the fit, your bite, and how they look. Most people need a few small adjustments as they settle in, and we welcome those visits.
Yes. Your dentures are shaped around your mouth and matched to the color and shape of natural teeth, so they blend in with your face and your smile.
Because your gums change shape as they heal, immediate dentures usually need adjustments or relining over time. We plan for that from the start, so you know what to expect.
It usually takes a few weeks to feel comfortable eating and speaking. Start with soft foods, cut food into small pieces, and practice talking out loud. If you have sore spots, tell us and we will adjust the fit.
Remove and clean your dentures daily with a soft brush and denture cleaner, and soak them overnight as directed. Handle them over a towel, avoid hot water, and keep brushing your gums and tongue. Relining adds new material inside a denture so it fits your gums again, and we also handle denture repairs. Most people are advised to take dentures out at night, and we will tell you what works for you. Keep your dental checkup visits, so we can look after your gums too.

Choosing dentures can stir up big feelings, so we built a space that helps you exhale. We didn't want it to feel like a dental office, so we didn't build one. Warm wood, real plants, a couch you'd actually choose to sit on, and chairs picked for comfort as much as function, all so you forget where you actually are.
Dr. Rong and Mia lead our practice with an expert team that treats every patient as a whole person. We are glad to make time for the small adjustments that turn new dentures into ones you forget you are wearing.
You can settle in with an anxiety blanket and calming aroma, a neck pillow, lip balm, and dark sunglasses. Enjoy a show on the screens, charge your phone for free, and grab a drink at the coffee bar.
“Too often I see patients go into an office and they're just seen as a set of teeth with no person behind them. I want to know not only what our patients need, but also what they want, in terms of their health, their looks, and how they feel.”
– Dr. Rong, owner
“I absolutely would recommend Genuine Care, and I have already done so many times.”
