Dentures in Carmel Valley
Custom full and partial dentures for a complete smile
Full dentures start at $1,200 per arch at our Carmel Valley office — custom-fitted by Dr. Maggie Abadan with a wax try-in so you approve the look and feel before anything is finalized. Implant-supported options available in-house, no referrals needed.
Gentle Dentistry of Carmel Valley offers full dentures starting at $1,200 per arch, partial dentures from $900, and implant-supported dentures starting at $3,500 — all designed and fitted in-house by Dr. Maggie Abadan, DDS, who has over 10 years of experience and uses an iTero digital scanner for precise impressions. Dr. Abadan offers full dentures for patients missing all teeth on an arch, partial dentures for those missing several, and implant-supported dentures anchored by titanium posts in the jaw. The fitting process is not rushed — she builds a wax model so you can see and adjust the fit before anything is finalized.
The honest trade-off: traditional dentures are more affordable and can restore both function and appearance effectively. Implant-supported dentures cost significantly more, but they stay fixed in place, feel closer to natural teeth, and — importantly — prevent the bone loss that happens when teeth are missing. Over time, bone loss changes the shape of your face and makes traditional dentures fit worse. Dr. Abadan will walk you through both options at your consultation, with real numbers, so you can decide based on your situation.

How long does it take to get dentures in San Diego?
The denture process at our Carmel Valley office typically takes 4–8 weeks from initial impressions to final delivery. You will come in for impressions, a bite registration, a wax try-in appointment, and then a final fitting with adjustments. Dr. Abadan does not rush the process — a well-fitted denture is worth the additional appointments.
Are implant-supported dentures better than traditional dentures?
Implant-supported dentures are significantly more stable — they do not slip, do not require adhesive, and prevent the jawbone loss that occurs when teeth are missing. Traditional dentures are more affordable upfront ($1,200–$2,500 per arch vs. $3,500+ for implant-supported) but may need relining over time as the jaw changes shape. Dr. Abadan at our Carmel Valley office will walk you through both options with real numbers at your consultation so you can decide based on your health and budget.
Will dentures affect how I speak or eat?
There is typically a 2–4 week adjustment period where speaking and chewing may feel different, particularly with new full dentures. Most patients at Gentle Dentistry of Carmel Valley adapt quickly with Dr. Abadan's precise fitting process. Starting with softer foods and practicing reading aloud speeds up the adjustment. Implant-supported dentures generally have a shorter and easier adaptation period since they are fixed in place.
