I'd been thinking about veneers for ten years. Dr. Marta is the only dentist who actually listened to what I wanted my smile to look like - and then delivered it. People keep asking what I changed.

What are dentures?
Dentures are custom replacements for missing teeth that bring back your ability to chew, speak, and smile.
At Marta Rudat DDS in Tustin, CA, options include full dentures for a complete arch, partial dentures when you still have some natural teeth, and implant-supported dentures that snap securely in place instead of slipping.

Is this you?
When you should consider dentures.
Today's dentures are a long way from the bulky ones you might picture. Done well, they look natural and feel far more stable, especially the implant-supported kind.
Dentures might be the right move if you:
01
Are missing several teeth, or a full row, and want them back
02
Wear an older denture that slips, rubs, or won't let you eat comfortably
03
Avoid foods you love because chewing is a struggle
04
Cover your mouth in photos or feel self-conscious talking
05
Have teeth that are failing and want a plan for what's next
Your options
Full, partial, or implant-supported?
Type
Best for
Worth knowing
Full denture
Replacing a complete upper or lower arch
Removable; rebuilds a full smile and your bite
Partial denture
Replacing several teeth when some healthy ones remain
Clips around your natural teeth; takes out for cleaning
Implant-supported denture
Anyone tired of slipping or who wants the most security
A few implants lock it in so it stays put while you eat and talk
Not sure which one you are?
That's normal. Dr. Rudat walks you through the trade-offs in plain language at your visit.
The process
Getting dentures, step by step.
01
The exam and plan.
Dr. Rudat looks at your gums, any remaining teeth, and your bite, then recommends the option that fits your mouth and budget.
02
Designing your denture.
Measurements, shade, and shape are chosen so the result suits your face and looks natural, not generic.
03
The fit.
You try the denture, and small adjustments dial in the comfort. There's a short adjustment period as your mouth gets used to it, which is completely normal.
04
Settling in.
Eating and speaking feel more natural within a few weeks for most people, and we're here for any tweaks along the way.
Honest expectations
What the first few weeks are really like.
Here's the part some offices skip: a new denture takes a little getting used to. Eating softer foods at first, practicing a few words, and coming back for minor adjustments are all part of the process, not signs that something's wrong. Most people settle in faster than they expect, and a secure fit makes a big difference. If anything feels off, you call us, and we adjust it. Simple as that.

Cost
How much do dentures cost in Tustin?
Cost depends on the type of denture, the materials, and whether implants are part of the plan. A standard partial sits at a very different price than a full implant-supported set. To give you a sense before you come in, here are typical Tustin-area ranges by option:
After an exam, our team gives you a clear estimate, checks your insurance, and lays out financing options so you can choose comfortably.
Denture option
Best for
Typical Tustin range (before insurance)
Partial denture
Replacing several teeth when some natural teeth remain
$1,000 to $3,500
Full denture (per arch)
Replacing a complete upper or lower row
$1,500 to $5,000
Implant-supported overdenture (snap-in)
A removable denture that stays secure
$7,000 to $15,000 per arch
Fixed full-arch (All-on-4 style)
A permanent, non-removable full set
$18,000 to $30,000 per arch
These are general area ranges, not quotes. Flexible partials sit at the lower end, cast-metal frameworks higher. Dental insurance often covers part of a standard denture as a major service, frequently around 50% up to your annual maximum, while implant-supported options are usually covered less. Because plans reset each year, a larger case can sometimes be phased across two calendar years to stretch your benefits.
No judgment
Embarrassed about your teeth? Please don't be.
A lot of people wait years before doing something about missing teeth, often because they feel self-conscious about how things look right now. That feeling is exactly what Dr. Rudat helps people move past, gently and without a single raised eyebrow. You come in, we look, we tell you what's possible, and we start wherever you're comfortable.

Frequently asked
Denture FAQs.
Three main ones: full dentures for a complete arch, partial dentures when some natural teeth remain, and implant-supported dentures that anchor onto implants for a secure fit.
For many people, yes. They don't slip while eating or talking and they help preserve bone. Dr. Rudat can tell you if you're a candidate at your consultation.
They don't have to. Modern dentures are shaped and shaded to suit your face, so a well-made set looks natural.
Most people adjust within a few weeks. Eating softer foods at first and coming in for minor adjustments helps the process along.
With time and a good fit, most people return to a wide range of foods. Implant-supported dentures make this easier because they stay firmly in place.
