Dentures

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They help restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Modern dentures are more comfortable and natural-looking than ever before.

Types of Dentures We Offer

Complete (Full) Dentures

For patients who have lost all their teeth in the upper or lower jaw (or both). These rest directly on the gums and are custom-made to fit your mouth perfectly.

Partial Dentures

For patients with some remaining natural teeth. Partial dentures fill the gaps while clasping onto your natural teeth for support. They prevent remaining teeth from shifting position.

Immediate Dentures

These are made before teeth extraction and inserted immediately after. They allow you to have teeth during the healing period, though adjustments will be needed as your gums heal.

Flexible Dentures

Made from a thin, flexible material that's more comfortable and less noticeable than traditional dentures. Ideal for patients who want a more natural feel.

The Denture Process

Getting dentures typically involves several appointments over a few weeks:

1. Initial consultation and treatment planning
2. Impressions and measurements of your mouth
3. Try-in of wax models to check fit and appearance
4. Final denture fitting and adjustments
5. Follow-up appointments for fine-tuning

Living with Dentures

Adjusting to new dentures takes time. Initially, eating and speaking may feel different, but with practice, most people adapt within a few weeks. Regular check-ups ensure your dentures continue to fit well.
