Frequently asked Questions
We’ve answered some of the most common questions about this treatment to help you feel informed and confident. If you have a question that isn’t covered here, please get in touch with our team.
What are the main types of dentures?
There are two primary types of dentures:
- Complete (Full) Dentures: These are used when all of the teeth in a dental arch (either the upper or lower jaw, or both) are missing. The upper denture covers the roof of the mouth and stays in place with suction, while the lower denture is horseshoe-shaped to accommodate the tongue and relies on the gums and muscles for stability.
- Partial Dentures: These are used when some natural teeth remain. A partial denture fills in the gaps created by missing teeth and is attached to the remaining teeth with clasps. It not only replaces missing teeth but also prevents the remaining natural teeth from shifting position.
There are also specialised types, like immediate dentures (placed right after tooth extraction) and implant-supported dentures, which offer enhanced stability by snapping onto dental implants in the jawbone.
What is the process of getting dentures?
Getting dentures typically involves several appointments. First, your dentist will take impressions and measurements of your mouth to create a precise model. If any teeth need to be extracted, this is done first, and temporary dentures may be provided. A dental lab then creates a wax or plastic model of the final dentures. You will "try in" this model to check the fit, appearance, and bite. Once you and your dentist are satisfied, the final dentures are cast from the model. Finally, the dentist fits the completed dentures and makes any necessary adjustments to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.
How do you properly care for dentures?
Proper care is essential to keep dentures clean and your mouth healthy. You should:
- Clean them daily: Remove and brush your dentures with a soft-bristled brush and a non-abrasive denture cleanser or mild soap to remove food particles and plaque.
- Handle them carefully: Always clean your dentures over a basin of water or a folded towel to prevent them from breaking if dropped.
- Soak them overnight: Most dentures need to stay moist to maintain their shape. They should be soaked overnight in water or a denture-soaking solution, but never in hot water, as this can cause them to warp.
- Keep your mouth clean: Brush your gums, tongue, and the roof of your mouth with a soft toothbrush after removing your dentures.
- Schedule regular check-ups: See your dentist regularly to ensure your dentures fit properly and to have your oral health checked.
