Dentures offer an affordable way to replace missing teeth and restore your confidence. At Shoreline Dental Studio, we provide custom full & partial dentures to meet your needs – combining comfort, function, and a natural look, supported by trusted dentists in San Clemente and Mission Viejo.
As removable appliances, dentures are designed to fill the gaps in your mouth. Full dentures restore a complete smile when all natural teeth are missing, while partial dentures replace only the teeth you’ve lost – preventing shifting and improving chewing. Our doctors work closely with you to determine the best solution, including options like implant-supported dentures or a more economical traditional fit.
When gum disease or advanced tooth decay leads to the removal of your remaining teeth, full dentures offer a dependable path forward. Our complete denture solutions restore both function and appearance using a custom-fit acrylic base and natural-looking replacement teeth.
Every smile is different. That’s why we personalize your denture design – from shape and shade to fit and feel. You can recreate your old smile or choose something brand new.
Looking for added comfort and security? We also offer implant-supported dentures, which anchor the denture base using dental implants. These reduce movement, improve durability, and can be either removable or permanently fixed.

Whether you’ve lost one or several teeth, partial dentures can fill in the gaps, improve your bite, and help you smile with confidence. They also prevent natural teeth from shifting, protecting your long-term dental health.
Most of our teeth partials feature a slim metal framework for comfort and a secure fit. Gum-colored acrylic blends seamlessly with your natural tissue, while lifelike prosthetic teeth restore the shape and function of your smile.
We also offer implant-supported partial dentures for those who want even greater stability. No matter which option you choose, your appliance is carefully crafted by our dental team and trusted lab technicians to feel as good as it looks.

“Best dental experience ever! Everyone is so sweet, caring and incredibly knowledgeable and confident. I was super nervous about going to dentist after not having gone for awhile but as soon as stepped into the studio I felt like I was in good, loving hands and had nothing to worry about! Everyone is so great about creating a calm and friendly experience:) Dr. Livingston is the best!”

“It’s a friendly, welcoming and stress free environment. From the candle in the reception area to the windows in the treatment rooms looking out on a garden, it feels very non-dentist like, which is actually a good thing. They addressed the issue I had come in for and didn’t try to upsell me on other unnecessary treatments. I actually found a dentist’s office that I like!”

If you only need to replace one or a few teeth, a partial denture may be right for you. Natural-looking false teeth are fixed to a thin metal frame shaped to fit the gap. These can be supported by adjacent teeth or implants.
A full denture replaces all teeth on the upper or lower jaw. It rests on the gums using a custom-fit acrylic base and prosthetic teeth. For added support, implants can also be used.
That depends on how many teeth are missing. Full dentures are best for complete tooth loss, while partials are ideal when you still have some healthy teeth. Your dentist will guide you based on your exam.
Both are designed to be comfortable, especially after an adjustment period. With today’s materials and fit options, either type can feel natural.
It’s rare – but if the denture isn’t properly fitted, it can cause pressure on nearby teeth. That’s why we recommend regular checkups and professional denture adjustments.
