Dentures Treatment
Dentures are custom-made removable appliances designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They are available as full dentures—used when all teeth are missing—or partial dentures, which fill gaps when some natural teeth remain. Made from durable materials like acrylic or metal, dentures are crafted to mimic the appearance of natural teeth and gums, helping restore both function and aesthetics.
Wearing dentures can improve your ability to chew and speak clearly, while also supporting facial muscles to prevent the sunken appearance that often follows tooth loss. While they may take some time to get used to, modern dentures are more comfortable and natural-looking than ever before. Regular hygiene visits and proper care is essential to maintain their fit and longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are dentures made of?
Dentures are typically made from acrylic resin, sometimes combined with metal for added strength in partial dentures. They are designed to look like natural teeth and gums.
How long do dentures last?
With proper care, dentures can last 5 to 10 years. However, they may need adjustments or replacement over time due to changes in your mouth’s shape.
Will dentures affect how I eat or speak?
Initially, you may experience some difficulty, but with time and practice, most people adjust well. Dentures restore much of the function lost with missing teeth.
Do I have to wear dentures all day?
Yes, dentures are typically worn during the day and removed at night to allow your gums to rest and to clean the dentures thoroughly.
Can dentures be cleaned like natural teeth?
Dentures require daily cleaning using a soft brush and denture cleaner—not regular toothpaste—to remove food, plaque, and prevent stains or odor.
