What is the process involved in getting dentures?
During the initial consultation, you will discuss with your dentist, the best denture option for you as there are many varieties to choose from. Unfortunately, teeth removals are a necessary part of getting dentures. You can also discuss the cost and make a decision based on your budget.
Thereafter, your dentist will take the measurements for your custom dentures.
Once the necessary tooth extraction procedure has been done, you may be fitted with immediate dentures to make the transition period easier before being fitted with your permanent ones.

What are the different types of Dentures?
Dentures are removable replacements for missing natural teeth. They are two main types available. Complete dentures replace all the teeth and rest on the gums. This can be further divided as:
- Conventional dentures which are made after all the teeth have been removed and the gum tissue has healed. They are usually placed about eight to 12 weeks after teeth removal.
- Immediate dentures are made in advance and can be placed immediately after the teeth have been removed. However, as the bones and gums heal and shrink the dentures may not feel comfortable during the healing period. This means they need a few adjustments to fit properly which is why they are generally considered as a temporary solution until conventional dentures can be used.
- Partial dentures that replace some of the teeth. These are attached to existing teeth and cover the gum area of the missing teeth. Not only does it fill in the spaces, but partial dentures prevent the other teeth from changing positions. Precision partial dentures are removable and come with internal attachments rather than claps which helps them attach to adjacent crowns.
What are the benefits of wearing dentures?
The dentures of today are comfortable, durable and dependable. They restore the functions which become restrictive or difficult when we lose teeth.
- Speak and smile with confidence as your natural smile is restored
- You can chew your food properly
- They help you counter bone loss and prevent your facial muscles from sagging.
- Partial dentures prevent excessive wear and tear on your remaining natural teeth.
- Dentures can even be worn by people who do not have the healthiest of jaw bones
Types of conditions that require dentures
Dentures have undergone many material changes but have been in use for centuries as a means to solve the problems missing teeth create. Today dentures are available in a variety of materials such as porcelain and ceramic. They are designed to withstand powerful bite forces allowing the wearer to enjoy eating with confidence.
Geriatric Dentistry
As people reach old age, natural teeth have a tendency to become loose or fall out completely. At a certain age, the nerves inside the teeth become smaller and less sensitive so that by the time pain is felt from a cavity it is too late to save the tooth.
Illness/Injury
Teeth become greatly affected by illness because some cause widespread decay or infections. For example diabetes can create an increased build-up of sugar in the mouth which can lead to periodontal disease. Injuries too cause teeth to become loose or to come out completely.
Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between permanent dentures and partial dentures?
Permanent dentures are the ones that have been custom made for you and replace all your natural teeth. Partial dentures are suitable if you still have some of your natural teeth. They help prevent your remaining teeth for moving and causing further complications.
How long do dentures last? Do I have to get them re-fitted?
Generally dentures last from about 7 – 10 years, depending on the quality of the dentures you have. Small changes in the fit can happen over time owing to changes in your gums and the wear and tear on the dentures themselves. Getting them realigned as soon as you feel a change will help them last longer and prevent damage to your mouth.
What should I do if the dentures feel loose or heavy?
Dentures that feel loose or heavy are a sign that you need to visit your dentist for a realignment. If they are loosening frequently and do not feel as comfortable as before then you need to have your dentures refitted immediately. Wearing ill-fitting dentures can lead to oral health complications.
The dentures are causing injury to my gums. Is this normal? What should I do?
There will be adjusting pains till you get used to your dentures. Your gums will feel sensitive, but the good news is that it will not last. You can use a topical anaesthetic and rinse your mouth with salt water. Remove your dentures at night and soak them in a cleaning solution or water. If they continue to cause severe pain or injury though, consult your dentist.
Can I eat with my dentures on?
Yes you can. It may take a little time to adjust to eating with dentures but once you are used to it you will find eating more enjoyable. You can eat almost any types of food except sticky candy, chewing gum and whole nuts. To begin with cut your food into bite sized pieces and use both sides of your mouth to chew the food to even out the pressure.
Can I sleep with dentures on?
It is best not to. It can lead to health issues in the long run. Removing them before you go to sleep will keep your mouth free from bacteria build up and give your gums a rest.
How do I clean the dentures?
Use a non-abrasive cleaner or toothpaste to brush your dentures. Then soak in a cleaning solution or water.
Brush but never scrub your dentures once before wearing your dentures.
Use a bowl of water or a shallow sink to clean your dentures and place in a soft towel to protect them breakage.
What should I do if the dentures get damaged?
Make an immediate appointment to see your dentist. Take your dentures out and soak them in the cleaning solution and place them in a secure case for transport. Do not wear damaged dentures.
