Looking for a fast, affordable way to replace missing teeth? Our office offers a variety of denture designs built around your lifestyle, cosmetic goals, and budget. Dentures in West Hollywood, CA, restore both your bite and the natural support your lips and cheeks need.
Understanding Your Treatment
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are removable artificial teeth and gums created to replace missing teeth and restore your smile. Each one is custom designed to fit and look as natural as possible in your mouth. Beyond replacing teeth, dentures reinforce the soft tissues of your lips and cheeks for a more youthful profile.
The Benefits
The Benefits of Dentures
Quick Turnaround
Custom dentures are fabricated and fitted across a handful of appointments rather than many months of surgical healing waiting between appointments.
Facial Support
The acrylic base reinforces your lips and cheeks, softening the collapsed appearance that often follows tooth loss and gum tissue underneath.
Personalized Design
We curate each denture to reflect the personality and the physical characteristics of the individual patient wearing it every single day.
What to Expect
Our Step-by-Step Denture Process
Getting dentures is relatively simple, though it usually takes several appointments to arrive at a comfortable, secure fit.
Request an Appointment- 01
Consultation
Our dentist evaluates your remaining teeth and gum tissue, then reviews which denture design best fits your particular situation and your cosmetic goals.
- 02
Impressions
We take a mold or a digital scan of your gums and any remaining teeth to capture every small ridge and contour accurately of your gums and jaw.
- 03
Model Fabrication
A model of your mouth is created from that impression, and your denture is then built to match those contours precisely by our partner laboratory.
- 04
Try-In Appointment
You return to try the denture on, and together we assess the fit, the bite, the shade, and the overall appearance before it is finalized.
- 05
Adjustments
If anything rubs or sits unevenly, our dentist refines the appliance until it fits both comfortably and securely in your mouth all day.
Denture Options
Types of Dentures We Offer
Depending on how many missing teeth you have, you may choose from different types of denture designs. Some replace all of your teeth at once, while others fit in around the healthy teeth you still have. And in some cases, you can even wear dentures that snap on top of dental implants.
Full Dentures (“Plates”)
Conventional dentures are traditional prosthetics that replace all of your teeth in your upper or lower arch at one time. Sometimes called “plates,” these appliances rest directly on top of your gum tissue and replace your entire row of missing teeth. Upper dentures also have a shape that creates suction against the roof of your mouth for added support. Denture candidates are already missing all of their teeth or need to have their remaining teeth removed, typically due to advanced decay or periodontal disease.
Partial Dentures
Partials are a smaller type of denture that clips into place around your existing, healthy teeth. Wearing a partial prevents the need to remove healthy teeth and replaces all of the missing ones with a single appliance. Partials work well for individuals who may not qualify for dental bridges or implants.
Implant-Supported Dentures/Overdentures
Implant-stabilized dentures look like traditional dentures, except they have special locators underneath them that snap onto corresponding dental implants. In most cases, anywhere from 2-4 dental implants are needed. Overdentures are easy to clean and care for, and there’s no need for messy adhesives or pastes. They work well for people with bone loss or jaw shrinkage, as the implants provide added support to reinforce the denture throughout the day. Implant-supported dentures tend to be more comfortable and easier to eat with.
Is It Right for You?
Signs Dentures May Be Right for You
Denture candidates are usually already missing most of their teeth, or need remaining teeth removed because of advanced decay or periodontal disease.
-
Multiple Losses — Several missing teeth in the same arch make chewing difficult and put extra strain on the teeth that still remain and make them harder to keep clean.
-
Advanced Decay — Your remaining teeth are too compromised to restore, and a full arch replacement is the far more predictable solution for your long-term health.
-
Periodontal Disease — Bone loss has left the remaining teeth loose, so removal and replacement offers better function over the long term and allows you to function comfortably.
-
Budget Considerations — You want a complete, natural-looking replacement now, with the option of adding implant support at some point later in your treatment plan.

What Our Patients Say
- ★★★★★
Thank you to Weho Dental studio and Dr Rivas for helping me get over my fear of going to the dentist. Felt immediately at home with her and her lovely staff. From the front desk to the hygienist, I really felt like they genuinely cared about my dental health, rather than some of the other offices I’ve been to that immediately tried to push tons of treatments. Dr Rivas and her staff took care of me, happy to call this my dental home. Thank you for making fillings and a crown a pleasant experience!
- ★★★★★
Dr. Rivas was awesome! Staff are great and friendly. I was surprised that my filling took less than an hour and I did not feel any inch of pain. The procedure was so smooth and appreciate that Dr. Lisa walked me through to every step. Highly recommended!

I reached out to Dr. Rivas regarding the extraction of my number 16 wisdom tooth. My previous dentist referred me to an oral surgeon who wanted to extract the other three wisdom teeth even though I am not experiencing any issues and during that time I never had any consultative discussions with the surgeon. I connected with Dr. Rivas and she was thorough and transparent when speaking over the phone and she shared that she would be able to extract my tooth. During the procedure, she was extremely caring, asked if I was numbed properly, and checked in with me frequently during the procedure. I did not feel a thing and I was shocked on how fast she was able to successfully extract my tooth. I highly recommend Dr. Rivas and her staff and I commend them for their professionalism and caring nature. I live in the Inland Empire and will be driving to West Hollywood since Dr. Rivas will be my dentist moving forward.
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Don't see the answer you're looking for? Call us at (310) 278-9121.
What does a new denture feel like?
It may feel bulky at first, since there is a layer of acrylic over your gum tissue. Most people adjust within a few weeks of wearing it daily.
Which type of denture is best?
It depends on how many teeth you are missing and whether you want implant support. Our dentist reviews full, partial, and overdenture options at your consultation.
Can I sleep in my dentures?
No. Sleeping in a denture accelerates bone loss, causes sore spots and infections, and shortens the lifespan of the appliance.
How do I care for my denture in West Hollywood, CA?
Brush it morning and evening with a soft brush and lukewarm water, soak it as directed, avoid bleach and abrasives, and never use hot water.
How much do dentures cost?
Depending on the design and materials, prices generally range from $300 to $1,800 per appliance. Implant-supported dentures cost more because placement is included.
