Replace Missing Teeth. Eat, Speak, and Smile Again.

Dentures in Beverly Hills give you back a full smile when teeth are missing. You want to chew what you like, speak clearly, and smile without covering your mouth. Dr. Joseph Goodman fits full and partial dentures to your exact mouth at his office on South Beverly Drive. Dual-trained in Germany and the United States, he has rebuilt smiles across three generations of Beverly Hills families. He also tells you honestly when implants or a bridge would serve you better, so you get a real plan instead of a hard sell.

Missing teeth do more than change your smile. They make it harder to chew and speak, they let nearby teeth drift, and over time your face can start to sag. About 40 million adults have lost all of their teeth, so this problem is common and very fixable. Dr. Goodman has been featured on KTLA and CBS for the same honest, careful work he brings to your fitting.

What are dentures, and who needs them?

Dentures are removable appliances with artificial teeth set in a gum-colored base. Full dentures replace a whole arch, and partial dentures fill the gaps when some healthy teeth remain. The average denture lasts 7 to 10 years with good care. If tooth loss, decay, or gum disease has left gaps, a denture rebuilds the smile.

Dentures are not your only path, a fixed bridge can replace a few teeth in a row, and dental implants can anchor teeth or a whole denture. We weigh all three against your bite, your bone, and your budget, then give you a straight recommendation. We do not do unnecessary work. If implants or a bridge fits you better, we say so before you commit.

What types of dentures can you choose from?

You have several types of dentures, and the right one depends on how many teeth are missing and the health of your gums and bone. Full dentures cover an entire arch. Partial dentures replace a few teeth and stop the rest from drifting. Implant-supported dentures snap onto as few as 2 to 4 implants for a firmer hold. Most patients fit one of the options below.

  • Full dentures, also called complete dentures, replace all teeth in the upper or lower arch
  • Partial dentures fill gaps and clasp onto your remaining natural teeth
  • Immediate dentures go in the same day your teeth come out, so you never go without
  • Conventional dentures go in after your gums heal, for the most precise fit
  • Overdentures gain extra stability from a few remaining teeth or implants
  • Implant-supported dentures anchor to implants for the firmest hold

We match the type to your mouth, not to a script. If some healthy teeth remain, a partial protects them and fills the gaps. If a full arch is gone, we walk you through full and implant-supported dentures and the trade-offs of each. You leave knowing why we recommend what we recommend.

Full dentures or partial dentures, which fits you?

The choice comes down to how many natural teeth you still have. Full dentures replace an entire arch when the teeth are gone or need removal. Partial dentures work when some sturdy teeth remain, and they clasp to those teeth for support. Both restore chewing and speech, and both take about 2 to 4 weeks to feel natural.

Factor Full dentures Partial dentures
Best for A whole arch of missing teeth Some healthy teeth remaining
How it holds Suction, adhesive, or implants Clasps or precision attachments
Protects other teeth No teeth left to protect Stops remaining teeth from drifting
Typical cost per arch 1,500 to 3,000 dollars 500 to 2,500 dollars
Adjusting time A few weeks Often quicker

Your remaining teeth and gum health guide the call. We check the bone support and the health of any natural teeth before we design either one. If a tooth is failing, we tell you, and we plan any extraction and healing so your denture fits from day one.

What can you expect with new dentures, and how do you care for them?

New dentures feel odd for a week or two while your cheeks and tongue learn to hold them. You may notice more saliva at first, and speech takes a little practice. Start with soft foods and chew on both sides. With daily care, your denture stays comfortable and lasts 7 to 10 years.

  • Expect more saliva for the first few days, then it settles
  • Read aloud to get comfortable speaking with your denture
  • Start with soft foods, then add more as you adjust
  • Brush your denture daily with a soft brush and a denture cleaner
  • Soak it overnight so it keeps its shape
  • Take it out at night to rest your gums and slow bone shrinkage

Your mouth changes over the years, so a denture needs upkeep. As the ridge shrinks, we reline the base for a snug fit again. Come in for regular checkups and we review the fit, your gums, and any natural teeth. A well-maintained denture serves you for years.

How much do dentures cost in Beverly Hills?

Cost depends on the type, the materials, and how many teeth you replace. A full denture runs about 1,500 to 3,000 dollars per arch, and a full upper and lower set often lands between 2,800 and 5,000. Partial dentures range from 500 to 2,500 per arch. Implant-supported dentures cost more. Beverly Hills sits above the national average, so we quote you after the exam.

We review your dental benefits with you and give an honest quote before any work. Many plans cover part of a denture, since it restores function. We also take CareCredit, so you can spread the cost over time. You see the full picture before you decide, with no surprise bills.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do partial and full dentures cost?

Cost depends on the type and materials. Full dentures run about 1,500 to 3,000 dollars per arch, and a full set often lands between 2,800 and 5,000. Partial dentures range from 500 to 2,500 per arch. Implant-supported dentures cost more. The Cleveland Clinic notes the average denture lasts 7 to 10 years, so the price covers years of use. In Beverly Hills, prices run above the national average, and we quote you after the exam.

Is a partial denture cheaper than a full denture?

Usually, yes. A partial denture replaces fewer teeth, so it often costs less than a full denture, though the material and design change the price. A cast metal or flexible partial costs more than a basic acrylic one. The ADA explains a partial clasps to your remaining teeth and fills the gaps, which also helps stop them from drifting. We price both after we see how many teeth need replacing.

Should I get dentures if I have gum disease?

Treat the gum disease first. Advanced gum disease is a leading cause of tooth loss, and loose or infected teeth need care before any denture goes in. The Cleveland Clinic lists gum disease among the main reasons adults lose teeth. Once your gums are healthy and any failing teeth are handled, a denture or an implant-supported denture rebuilds the smile. We check your gum health at the exam and give you the honest order of care.

What is the newest type of dentures?

Implant-supported dentures are the most modern option. Instead of resting on the gums, they anchor to a few dental implants, so they hold firm while you eat and speak. The Cleveland Clinic notes they give more stability than traditional dentures. They need enough jawbone to support the implants, which we check with imaging. If you qualify, they offer the firmest hold of any denture.
