prosthodontic treatments
Dentures made to be worn comfortably.
Removable dentures are prostheses that can be taken in and out, used when many or all teeth are missing.
A full denture is made when all teeth are missing, and a partial denture supported by the remaining teeth when some are. Comfort depends on accurate impressions and bite records.
For people who struggle with a loose lower denture, the denture can be retained on a few implants. This reduces movement and makes chewing easier.
Who is it for?
- People missing all or many teeth
- People without enough support for fixed work
- People whose current denture is loose or sore

the process
How does it work?
Examination
The tissues and any remaining teeth are assessed.

Fitting and settling in
The denture is fitted, with check-ups and adjustments as you get used to it.
questions
What you may be wondering.
How long does it take to get used to a denture?
It varies; most people adapt to speaking and eating within a few weeks. Sore spots are adjusted along the way.
Should I take it out at night?
Removing it at night lets the tissues rest. Keep it clean and moist.
My denture is loose. What can be done?
Relining, a new denture or implant retention are considered. Which is right is decided at the examination.
