Dentures in Tijuana: complete, partial and implant-supported
Dentures replace missing teeth, and planning them from across the border means thinking about fittings and adjustments, not only the first appointment.
This page covers the main types, how visits are planned, and what to get named on paper. For materials such as metal-free and flexible options, see metal-free crowns and dentures.
What dentures are
MedlinePlus explains: Dentures are false teeth made to replace teeth you have lost. They can be complete or partial.
Complete vs partial
Complete dentures cover your entire upper or lower jaw. Partials replace one or a few teeth. Ask the dentist which type fits your mouth and why.
Implant-supported options
Some plans attach teeth to implants instead of relying on the gums alone. If that is proposed, read the All-on-4 quote checklist and ask about imaging, the implant brand and the number of trips.
Visits and fittings when you live across the border
MedlinePlus notes: In the beginning, your dentist may want to see you often to make sure the dentures fit. Ask Olive how many visits the plan includes, which ones need you in Tijuana, and how long to plan between them. The timeline comes from the written plan after the exam.
Adjustments and relines later
Over time, your mouth will change and you may need to have your dentures adjusted or replaced. Ask who handles adjustments, what is included, and what happens if a sore spot appears after you go home.
Daily care
MedlinePlus advises: Take your dentures out of your mouth at night, and put them in water or a denture-cleansing liquid.
What to get named on paper
Ask for the denture type, the material, the number of visits, adjustments included and exclusions. Use the written treatment plan checklist, then request a written quote. The clinic is profiled on Olive Dental Solutions.
