Why might I need dentures?

Dentures are recommended when you have lost multiple teeth due to decay, gum disease, injury, or other factors. They restore your ability to chew, speak, and maintain facial structure.

What is the difference between full and partial dentures?

Full dentures replace all teeth in an arch (upper or lower), while partial dentures replace only some missing teeth and can be attached to your remaining natural teeth.

How are dentures made?

Dentures are custom-made for each patient. The process involves impressions of your mouth, measurements, and fittings to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.

Are dentures comfortable to wear?

Modern dentures are designed for comfort and functionality. It may take some time to adjust to wearing them, but most patients find them comfortable once they get used to them.

Do dentures affect speech or eating?

Initially, you may experience some difficulty with speech and eating as you adjust to dentures. However, with practice and time, most patients regain normal speech and eating abilities.

Can I sleep with my dentures in?

It is generally recommended to remove dentures at night to allow your gums and mouth to rest. Removing them also helps maintain the longevity of both the dentures and your oral health.

What's the cost of getting dentures?

The cost of dentures varies depending on the type (full or partial) and the materials used. During your consultation with us, we will provide you with a detailed cost estimate.

How long do dentures last?

The lifespan of dentures can vary but typically ranges from 5 to 10 years or longer with proper care. Over time, dentures may need adjustments or replacement due to changes in your mouth.

What are Dentures?

Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore functionality and aesthetics. They consist of artificial teeth attached to a gum-coloured base, custom-made to fit your mouth. Dentures help improve chewing, speech, and smile appearance, allowing you to regain confidence and enjoy a natural-looking smile.

Types of Dentures

Full Dentures

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are recommended when you have some natural teeth remaining. These custom-made dentures consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum-coloured base, which are anchored to your existing teeth for stability and functionality.

Implant-Supported Dentures

For patients seeking enhanced stability and security, implant-supported dentures are an excellent option. By surgically placing dental implants into the jawbone, we can create a strong foundation to support your dentures, providing you with a more comfortable fit and greater chewing power.

Benefits of Dentures

Restored Functionality

Dentures are designed to restore your ability to eat a wide variety of foods, improving your overall nutrition and digestive health. With dentures, you can enjoy your favourite meals without discomfort or difficulty.

Enhanced Aesthetics

Our custom dentures are meticulously crafted to match the natural appearance of your teeth, ensuring a seamless integration with your smile. You can confidently show off your beautiful, natural-looking teeth and regain your self-esteem.

Improved Speech

Missing teeth can often lead to difficulties in speech and pronunciation. Dentures provide the necessary support for your lips and tongue, enabling clearer speech and allowing you to communicate with confidence.

Preservation of Facial Structure

When teeth are lost, it can lead to a sunken appearance and premature aging. Dentures help maintain the natural shape of your face, supporting your facial muscles and preventing sagging or hollowing.

How to Take Care of My Dentures?

Proper care and maintenance of your dentures are essential to ensure their longevity and your oral health. After eating, remove your dentures and rinse them with water to remove food particles. Brush your dentures daily using a soft-bristle toothbrush and non-abrasive denture cleaner to prevent stains and plaque build-up. Avoid using regular toothpaste, as it can be too abrasive and damage the denture surface. Soak your dentures overnight in a denture-cleaning solution to keep them moist and clean. Remember to brush your gums, tongue, and palate to promote good oral hygiene. Regular check-ups with your dentist will ensure a proper fit and detect any issues early on.
