Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are dentures and how do they work?

    Dentures are removable appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore both function and appearance. They are custom-made to fit your mouth and can replace a few teeth or a full arch. Modern false teeth dentures are designed for comfort and a natural look, helping improve chewing, speech, and facial support. They work by resting on the gums or attaching to implants for added stability.

  • What types of dentures are available?

    There are several types of denture treatment options available, including complete dentures, partial dentures, implant supported dentures, and implant retained dentures (overdentures). Each option is designed based on your specific needs, whether you have full tooth loss or only a few missing teeth. Your dentist will recommend the best solution for long-term comfort and function.

  • How long do dentures last?

    With proper care, custom dentures can last several years. However, changes in your gums and jawbone over time may require adjustments such as relines or rebasing. Regular dental visits help ensure your dentures continue to fit properly and function well. Maintaining good oral hygiene also plays a key role in extending their lifespan.

  • How do you fix loose or uncomfortable dentures?

    Loose or uncomfortable dentures are often caused by natural changes in your jawbone or gums. Solutions such as denture relines, adjustments, or switching to implant supported dentures can improve fit and stability. Addressing the issue early helps prevent irritation, inflammation, and further oral health concerns.

  • Can dentures be repaired if they break?

    Yes, denture repairs can often fix cracked, chipped, or worn dentures without needing a full replacement. It is important to seek professional repair quickly to avoid further damage or injury to your gums. In some cases, rebasing or replacing parts of the denture may be recommended for better long-term results.
