Dentures are removable prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth, offering a solution for individuals who have lost some or all of their natural teeth due to decay, injury, or gum disease. There are several types of dentures to accommodate different needs. Complete or full dentures are used when all teeth in the upper or lower jaw are missing, resting directly on the gums. Partial dentures fill in the spaces created by missing teeth, attaching to the remaining natural teeth with clasps or precision attachments. Implant-supported dentures provide a more stable option, anchoring onto surgically placed dental implants in the jawbone. Each type is custom-made to ensure a comfortable fit and natural appearance, helping to restore the individual’s ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently.

All Types of Dentures F&Q's
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are removable dental appliances used to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They help restore function and appearance to a person’s smile and are custom-made to fit each individual’s mouth.
What Are the Main Types of Dentures?
The main types include complete dentures, for those who have lost all their teeth in an arch (upper or lower), and partial dentures, which are suitable for individuals who still retain some of their natural teeth.
How Do Complete Dentures Differ from Partial Dentures?
Complete dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw, resting directly on the gums. Partial dentures, on the other hand, replace several missing teeth by attaching to the remaining natural teeth with metal clasps or precision attachments.
What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?
Implant-supported dentures are anchored to dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone, providing a more stable and secure fit than traditional dentures. They are often used for the lower jaw where conventional dentures are less stable, but can be used in the upper jaw as well.
How Long Do Dentures Last?
With proper care, dentures can last several years. However, they may need to be relined, remade, or rebased over time due to normal wear, changes in the shape of the mouth, or if the dentures become loose.
How Should I Care for My Dentures?
Dentures should be cleaned daily using a soft denture brush and non-abrasive denture cleaner, not regular toothpaste. They should be soaked overnight in water or a denture soaking solution and rinsed before being placed back in the mouth. Regular dental check-ups are important to adjust the fit and examine oral health.
