Dentures Near Fort Washington
Fort Washington sits up in north Fresno, where the neighborhoods climb toward the San Joaquin River bluffs and Friant Rd curves along the edge of town. It is a quiet, settled part of Fresno, and many residents here are at a stage where replacing missing teeth has become a priority. Dr. Lovik Mirzaeian provides dentures at 1592 Shaw Ave in Clovis, an easy drive from the bluffs.
Complete dentures, partial dentures, and implant-supported dentures are all available. Each one is fitted to you and adjusted until it is comfortable.
Why the drive from Fort Washington is worth it
Getting from Fort Washington down to Shaw Ave is a familiar route for most residents. What keeps patients coming back is the care itself. Dr. Mirzaeian has practiced in the area since 2003 and works methodically, explaining each step so nothing is a surprise. You can read the main dentures page for more detail before your visit.
Matching the denture to your needs
If you have lost all of the teeth in an arch, or the remaining ones cannot be saved, a complete denture replaces them. A conventional complete denture is made after extractions once the gums have started to heal, usually about 8 to 12 weeks later. An immediate denture is prepared in advance and placed the same day the teeth come out. Since the gums and bone change shape while healing, an immediate denture needs more adjustments and is usually a temporary step.
If you still have healthy teeth, a partial denture fills the gaps. Replacement teeth attach to a gum-colored base connected by a metal framework, and the partial keeps your other teeth from shifting. A precision partial uses internal attachments instead of clasps for a more natural look.
Good candidates for implant-supported dentures
Implant-supported dentures attach to a few dental implants, so they stay secure while you eat and speak. They tend to suit people with enough healthy jawbone and good general health. They usually cost more than traditional dentures. The dental implants page explains the implant side of things.
How treatment progresses
The first visit is an exam and a discussion of your goals. Dr. Mirzaeian checks your gums, any remaining teeth, and the bone that will support the denture. Impressions and measurements are taken next. Most patients have a try-in before the final denture is made, then a few short follow-ups to adjust the fit. Expect a few weeks of getting used to eating and talking with it.
Easing dental nerves
If you feel anxious about dental work or extractions, ask about the sedation options the office offers.
Cost, insurance, and financing
The cost depends on the kind of denture, the number of teeth, and any treatment needed first. You will get a personalized estimate after your exam. Dental insurance is accepted, and financing plans are available. The contact page is a good place to start.
