Tailored Solutions: Types of Dentures We Offer
We understand that every patient's needs are unique. We offer a range of denture solutions to best suit your specific situation:
1. Complete (Full) Dentures
- For patients missing all teeth in either the upper, lower, or both arches.
- Custom-made to fit precisely over your gums, providing a full set of replacement teeth.
- Restores your entire smile and bite, bringing harmony back to your facial aesthetics.
2. Partial Dentures
- Ideal for patients missing one or more teeth but still have natural teeth remaining.
- Attaches to existing teeth with clasps or precision attachments to hold it securely in place.
- Fills gaps to prevent remaining teeth from shifting and maintains proper bite alignment.
3. Implant-Supported Dentures (Overdentures)
- Combine the stability of dental implants with the convenience of dentures.
- Small dental implants are placed in the jawbone, providing secure anchors for the denture.
- Offer superior stability, comfort, and chewing efficiency compared to traditional dentures, significantly reducing movement.
- Can be designed to be removable for cleaning or permanently fixed in place.
4. Immediate Dentures
- Provided on the same day your natural teeth are extracted, preventing a period without teeth.
- Allows you to have teeth immediately after extractions, maintaining appearance and some function during the healing process.
- Requires relining or replacement after gums and bone have healed and reshaped (typically 6-12 months) for a precise, long-term fit.

Your Journey to a New Smile: The Denture Process
The process of getting your new dentures typically involves several appointments:
- Comprehensive Consultation & Examination: We'll assess your oral health, discuss your goals, determine the best type of denture for you, and answer all your questions.
- Impressions & Measurements: Highly accurate molds of your mouth are taken, along with precise measurements of your bite and jaw relationship.
- Wax Try-In: You'll try on a wax model of your future denture, allowing us to evaluate the fit, aesthetics, and bite. This is your chance to provide feedback on tooth shape, size, and color before the final denture is made.
- Final Delivery: Once your custom denture is perfected, you'll receive your new appliance. We'll ensure a comfortable fit and provide detailed instructions on care and adaptation.
- Adjustments & Follow-Up: Minor adjustments are often needed as you get used to your new dentures. We'll schedule follow-up appointments to refine the fit and address any concerns.
Extending the Life of Your Dentures: Care Tips
Proper care is essential for the longevity and hygiene of your dentures:
- Clean Daily: Brush your dentures daily with a non-abrasive denture cleanser and a soft-bristled brush to remove food particles and plaque.
- Handle with Care: Always hold your dentures over a folded towel or basin of water to prevent breakage if they are dropped.
- Store Properly: When not wearing your dentures, keep them moist by storing them in water or a mild denture-cleaning solution to prevent warping.
- Regular Dental Check-ups: Continue to visit your dentist regularly to monitor your oral health, check the fit of your dentures, and address any changes in your gums or bone structure.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How long will it take to get used to my new dentures? A: Adjustment periods vary, but most people adapt within a few weeks to a few months. Initial sensations like bulkiness, increased saliva, and minor speech changes are normal.
Q: Can I eat normally with dentures? A: With practice, you'll be able to eat most foods. We recommend starting with soft foods, cutting food into small pieces, and chewing slowly on both sides of your mouth to balance pressure.
Q: Do I need to remove my dentures at night? A: Yes, it's generally recommended to remove your dentures for at least 6-8 hours a day, preferably overnight. This allows your gums and oral tissues to rest and helps prevent bacterial buildup.
Q: How long do dentures last? A: With proper care, dentures can last 5-10 years or more. However, they may require relining, rebasing, or replacement as your mouth changes over time.
Q: Are dentures comfortable? A: Modern dentures are designed for comfort. While there's an initial adjustment period, well-fitting dentures should be comfortable. If you experience persistent soreness or discomfort, please contact us for an adjustment.
