Cost-effective Dental Dentures
Dental dentures are a cost-effective way to replace missing teeth and bring back your smile. We custom made and designed dental dentures according to the needs of your mouth.
Replacing Dental Dentures
Replacement dentures can be made if your dentures have become worn, discoloured, broken, or uncomfortable. Your dentist will recommend the best solution to suit your needs.
Re-lining your Dentures
Dentures can be re-lined to accommodate the changes in your mouth shape over time, usually every 4 years. It is a relatively simple and quick procedure.
Permanent versus Removable Dentures
You can choose between permanent dentures and removable dentures. Permanent dentures are typically held in place by two or more surgically-placed dental implants, making the dentures stable and allowing you to chew, talk, and smile more easily than with removable dentures.
Choose from 3 Expertly-Fitted Modern Denture Options
Complete Dentures
Complete dentures are necessary if every tooth in your mouth has been removed. These removable dentures can be fitted when your gums have completely healed.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures can be used to replace one or a few teeth. For example, you can have “partial dentures for back teeth” if you have teeth to secure the dentures. Bridges can also be used to replace a few missing teeth.
Implant Dentures
Dentures can be secured in your mouth using advanced implant technology. This process requires 4 to six implant posts to be embedded into the jawbone through surgery. The implants provide stability, support and strength, and this solution additionally enables less tissue coverage, improving your ability to eat and taste. You can opt to have permanent or removable dentures.
Dental Denture FAQs
Schedule regular dental checkups. Your dentist will recommend how often you need to visit to have your dentures examined and professionally cleaned depending on the type of denture. You will need to see your dentist promptly if your dentures start to feel loose as loose dentures can cause irritation, sores and infection.
Conventional dentures last five to eight years and implant supported dentures have a life expectancy of 20 years. The posts act as roots and maintain bone density, preventing the jawbone from atrophying away.
Removable dentures require care to keep them clean, free from stains and looking their best.
