Permanent Teeth in Whittier, CA

Permanent teeth in Whittier give you a full set of teeth fixed to dental implants, so they stay in when you eat, talk and sleep instead of slipping or coming out at night. They are planned, placed and made by one implant team, starting with a free consultation.

What Are Permanent Teeth?

Permanent teeth are a full arch of teeth fixed to dental implants. A removable denture sits on your gums and comes out at night. Permanent teeth are attached to implants in your jawbone, so they stay in your mouth, and only your dentist removes them.

They’re made for two kinds of patients: people whose removable denture slips, rubs or needs adhesive, and people whose remaining teeth are failing and who want fixed teeth instead of a denture.

The treatment behind permanent teeth is a full-arch implant procedure on four, six or more implants. You can read how it works, step by step, on our All-on-4 dental implants page.

Signs It May Be Time for Fixed Permanent Teeth

Permanent teeth may be worth a conversation if any of these sound familiar.

Your Denture Slips or Needs Adhesive

A removable denture rests on your gums, so it can move when you eat, talk or laugh. Permanent teeth are anchored to implants, so you’re not reaching for adhesive or worrying about it shifting.

You Avoid Foods You Used to Enjoy

If you cut everything small, skip anything crunchy or chew on one side, your teeth are choosing your menu. Teeth fixed to implants help biting and chewing feel steady again.

You Hide Your Smile

Missing teeth, or a denture you don’t trust, can have you covering your mouth in photos and at family gatherings. Permanent teeth are designed to give you a complete, natural-looking smile.

Fixed Dentures in Whittier That Stay In

If you’re searching for dentures in Whittier because your current denture won’t stay put, a fixed, implant-supported denture is a different kind of answer. Instead of resting on your gums, your new teeth are attached to implants, so there’s no adhesive and nothing to take out at night.

Dr. Paz’s experience includes same-day fixed dentures: for qualifying patients, a fixed set of teeth is attached to the implants on the day they’re placed. Whether you qualify depends on your exam and your CBCT scan, and we confirm it before treatment is scheduled.

We make your implant teeth here, through our in-house fabrication, and customize their color, size and shape. We check how they bite as carefully as how they look.

Planning Your Fixed Teeth With 3D Imaging

Before we place anything, CBCT imaging shows us your jaw in 3D, so we know how much bone is there to hold your new teeth. If you still have teeth that can't be saved, our doctors handle the tooth extraction in-house as part of your plan.

If several teeth in one arch are failing, read how a full arch is rebuilt on four implants on our All-on-4 dental implants page.

Questions About Permanent Teeth in Whittier

Are Permanent Teeth Actually Permanent?

They’re fixed to your implants, so you don’t take them out to clean them or to sleep. Only your dentist removes them. With good home care and regular checkups, they’re built to last many years.

Can I Get Permanent Teeth If I’ve Worn Dentures for Years?

It depends on how much bone you have. Years of missing teeth can come with bone loss, so we start with an exam, X-rays and a CBCT scan. Then we explain what your scan shows, any risks, and whether you’re a candidate.

What Are Same-Day Fixed Dentures?

Same-day fixed dentures are a fixed set of teeth attached to dental implants on the day the implants are placed. They are available for qualifying patients, and your exam and scan tell us whether you qualify.

Is Getting Permanent Teeth Uncomfortable?

We offer sedation options during implant placement to help with anxiety or discomfort, and we go over them with you before your appointment. We also explain what to expect while you heal.

How Much Do Permanent Teeth Cost in Whittier?

Your cost depends on how many implants you need, whether we’re treating one arch or both, and what your scan shows. We give you a clear number after your free consultation, then help you use your PPO benefits and spread the rest into low monthly payments.
