Dentures

Dentures are a common solution for individuals who have lost teeth due to injury, decay, or age. They provide a natural-looking and functional set of teeth that can improve a person's confidence and quality of life.

Denture options

Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. They are made up of a metal or plastic base with teeth attached to it. Partial dentures are usually removable and can be attached to nearby teeth with clasps.

Complete dentures are used when all of the teeth are missing. They can be conventional or immediate. Conventional dentures are made after the teeth have been removed and the gum tissue has healed, which usually takes 4-6 weeks. Immediate dentures are made in advance and can be placed immediately after the teeth are removed.

Ongoing Care & Mainenance

Following dentures, ongoing maintenance is essential for maintaining good oral health and ensuring that the dentures fit properly and function well. This includes daily cleaning of the dentures with a soft-bristled brush and denture cleaner, and regularly soaking them in a denture solution to remove any bacteria or debris.

It is also important to maintain good oral hygiene habits, such as brushing and flossing any remaining natural teeth, and regularly visiting a dentist for check-ups and adjustments to the dentures if needed.

Treatment Journey

01

Consultation

The first step in the treatment journey is a consultation with a dentist. During the consultation, the dentist will examine inside the mouth and discuss your dental history and treatment options.

02

Impressions

Once the decision is made to proceed with dentures, the dentist will take impressions of the mouth. This involves using a soft material to create a mould of the teeth and gums.

03

Fitting

The dentures can take a number of visits as they will be constructed in a dental laboratory. Once they are ready, you will return to the dentist to have them fitted.

04

Adjustment

It may take some time to adjust to wearing dentures. The dentist will provide instructions on how to help you adjust to your new dentures.
