If you live in Glorietta, close to Dry Creek and the busy Willow Ave corridor, getting dentures does not have to mean a long trip across town. Dr. Lovik Mirzaeian provides dentures at 1592 Shaw Ave, and for most Glorietta households that is a quick drive south. Whether you have lost a few teeth or most of them, a denture can bring back a natural-looking smile and make it easier to eat the foods you like.

Why Glorietta patients choose Dr. Mirzaeian
Convenience counts when a treatment takes several visits. From the neighborhoods near Dry Creek, Shaw Ave is a straightforward drive, so appointments fit into a normal day. Dr. Mirzaeian has treated patients since 2003 and takes an unhurried approach, explaining your options and what each one involves. For a broader look at denture care, see the main dentures page.
Which denture fits your situation
If all of the teeth in an arch are gone or need to come out, a complete denture replaces them. A conventional complete denture is made once the gums have started healing after extractions, usually about 8 to 12 weeks later. An immediate denture is made in advance and placed at the extraction visit, so you are never without teeth. The catch is that healing gums and bone shrink, so an immediate denture needs more adjustments and is generally temporary until a conventional denture is ready.
If some healthy teeth remain, a partial denture fills the gaps. It has replacement teeth on a gum-colored base connected by a metal framework, and it keeps the teeth around the gaps from moving. A precision partial uses internal attachments instead of clasps for a more natural appearance.
The implant-supported option
For patients who want a denture that does not shift, implant-supported dentures attach to a small number of dental implants. They usually cost more than a traditional denture and require enough healthy jawbone. When they are a good fit, many patients find them much easier to eat and speak with. The dental implants page has more on how implants work.
How the process works
At your first visit, Dr. Mirzaeian examines your gums, remaining teeth, and the supporting bone, then goes over the choices with you. Impressions and measurements are taken so the denture matches your mouth. There is usually a try-in before the final denture, and a few follow-up visits for adjustments are normal. Expect a short learning period while you get used to chewing and speaking with it.
Comfort during treatment
If you are nervous about extractions or dental work in general, ask about the sedation options available at the office.
Cost, insurance, and financing
What you pay depends on the type of denture, the number of teeth being replaced, and any treatment needed first. A personalized estimate follows your exam. Dental insurance is accepted, and financing plans are available. Reach out through the contact page to get started.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I get dentures near Glorietta?
Dr. Mirzaeian provides dentures at 1592 Shaw Ave in Clovis, a quick drive south from Glorietta. Call (559) 299-2168 to schedule.
How many visits does a denture take?
Usually several: an exam, impressions, a try-in, delivery, and follow-up adjustments. Your plan will depend on whether extractions are needed.
Why does an immediate denture need more adjustments?
Gums and bone shrink while they heal after extractions, so the fit changes. That is why an immediate denture is generally a temporary step before a conventional one.
What does a partial denture look like?
It has replacement teeth on a gum-colored base with a metal framework. A precision partial uses internal attachments instead of clasps, so it looks more natural.
Can implants keep my denture from slipping?
Implant-supported dentures attach to dental implants, which keeps them stable. An exam will show whether you have enough bone and are a good candidate.
Do you accept insurance for dentures?
Yes. Dental insurance is accepted and financing plans are available.
