Full Denture Treatment
Restore Your Smile, Speech & Confidence with Custom Complete Dentures
What is a complete denture?
A complete denture, also known as a full denture, replaces all the natural teeth in either the upper jaw, the lower jaw, or both.
It consists of:
A gum-colored acrylic base that fits over your gums.
A complete set of artificial teeth designed to look natural and restore normal chewing and speech.
Complete dentures are recommended when all teeth have been lost or require extraction because they cannot be restored.
Who Needs Complete Dentures?
Complete dentures may be suitable if you:
- Have lost all teeth in one or both jaws.
- Have severe gum disease resulting in complete tooth loss.
- Have multiple damaged or loose teeth that cannot be saved.
- Need an economical option for replacing all missing teeth.
What are the different types of complete denture?
1, Conventional Complete Dentures
A conventional complete denture is fabricated after the gums have completely healed following tooth extraction.
Once healing is complete, precise impressions are taken to fabricate a denture that fits accurately.
2, Immediate Dentures
An immediate denture is prepared before the remaining teeth are extracted and inserted immediately after tooth removal.
This means you never have to remain without teeth during the healing period.
3, Soft Liner Denture
A soft liner denture is a denture that contains a resilient, soft cushioning material on the tissue-contacting surface.
This soft layer acts like a shock absorber between the denture and the gums.
It is especially beneficial for patients with tender tissues, chronic soreness and difficulty wearing conventional dentures
4, Tooth-Supported Overdenture
A tooth-supported overdenture is a removable denture that fits over a few carefully selected natural teeth or retained tooth roots.
Instead of extracting every remaining tooth, healthy roots are preserved and modified to support the denture. These retained teeth help stabilize the denture and preserve the jawbone.
This treatment is often recommended for patients who still have a few strong teeth that can be saved.
5, Implant-Supported Overdenture
An implant-supported overdenture is a removable denture that attaches securely to dental implants placed in the jawbone.
Unlike conventional dentures that rely mainly on the gums for support, implant-supported dentures are anchored to implants, providing much greater stability.
For many patients, this represents the most comfortable removable denture option available.
Which Complete Denture Is Best?
The answer depends on your oral condition.
✔ If lost all teeth with completely healed socket with good bone support in affordable option – Conventional Complete Denture
✔ If strong remaining roots - Tooth-Supported Overdenture
✔ If maximum stability desired - Implant-Supported Overdenture
✔ If painful gums - Soft Liner Denture
Your dentist will recommend the most suitable option after a comprehensive examination.
