Types of Dentures We Provide
Every patient’s bite and bone structure is different. Here are the most common denture options Dr. Mechev offers in La Mesa.
Implant-Supported Overdentures
If your denture shifts during the day or relies on adhesives, stabilizing it with 2–4 dental implants per arch can help. Overdentures snap onto implant abutments for dramatically better stability while talking and eating, and they remain removable for easy cleaning. Patients with insufficient jawbone may first need bone grafting for dental implants to qualify.
Implant-Retained Dentures (“All-on-4”)
Sometimes called “All-on-4” dentures, these streamlined, hybrid dentures function more like an extended dental bridge. The U-shaped contour follows the natural curve of your smile and stays permanently attached to as few as four implants — no daily removal required.
Full Dentures
When all teeth in an arch need to be replaced, full dentures (“plates”) offer an economical, efficient way to rehabilitate your smile quickly and affordably.
Digital Partial Dentures with Clear Clasps
Partial dentures let you retain as many healthy natural teeth as possible, restoring only the missing teeth with a discreet prosthesis that snaps in around them. Our invisible digital partials combine advanced scanning technology with natural aesthetics for a comfortable, durable fit.
Denture Repair & Reline
Broken, cracked, or worn dentures can make eating and speaking difficult. We provide relines and limited repairs in-office to restore comfortable, secure fit without a long wait.
In-House CAD/CAM Fabrication
Many denture and partial components are designed and milled in our own digital lab using the Ceramill Motion 2 system — meaning faster turnaround and tighter quality control than outsourcing to an outside lab. Implant placement is planned using in-house CBCT / CT scan imaging for precise, predictable results.
Denture Care & Maintenance
To keep your denture clean and fitting properly, remove it each night and let your mouth rest. Soak it overnight in an effervescent denture cleanser to loosen debris, then brush away residue in the morning. This simple routine lowers your risk of oral infection and accelerated bone loss, which can lead to pain, sores, and a loose-fitting appliance.
Bring your denture with you twice a year for a checkup with Dr. Mechev. We’ll evaluate tissue health, bone contour, and fit that same day, so small adjustments can be made before bigger problems develop.

Denture FAQs
How long does it take to get used to new dentures?
Most patients adjust to speaking and eating with new dentures within a few weeks. Dr. Mechev schedules follow-up visits to fine-tune the fit during this adjustment period.
What is the difference between implant-supported and implant-retained dentures?
Implant-supported overdentures are removable and snap onto implant abutments for added stability. Implant-retained (“All-on-4”) dentures are permanently attached to as few as four implants and function more like a fixed dental bridge.
How many implants are needed to stabilize a denture?
Implant-supported overdentures typically use 2 to 4 implants per arch. Implant-retained, All-on-4 style dentures use as few as four implants to support the entire arch permanently.
Can I get a denture relined or repaired instead of replacing it?
In many cases, yes. Dr. Mechev offers in-office relines and limited repairs for dentures that no longer fit comfortably, which is often faster and more affordable than a full replacement.
Does La Mesa Dental Center accept insurance for dentures?
Yes. All PPO insurance plans are accepted, and our team will review your coverage and discuss financing options during your complimentary consultation.
