Types of Dentures
The main types of dentures include: Full dentures (complete dentures that replace all teeth). Partial dentures (replacing some missing teeth). Implant-supported dentures (anchored by dental implants). Immediate dentures (temporary dentures placed right after tooth extraction).
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth when some natural teeth remain in the mouth. They are typically made of acrylic, flexible, or metal and are removable for easy cleaning and maintenance.
Acrylic Partial Dentures
These are the most common and affordable types of partial dentures. They consist of acrylic teeth attached to an acrylic base that fits over your remaining natural teeth.
Flexible Partial Dentures
Made from a lightweight and flexible material, these dentures are more comfortable and less likely to irritate the gums.
Metal Partial Dentures
These dentures feature a metal framework that provides added strength and durability. They are often recommended for those with fewer remaining natural teeth.
Implant-supported dentures
These are prosthetic teeth that attach securely to dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone, offering improved stability, comfort, and functionality compared to traditional dentures that rest on the gums.
What are Complete Dentures?
Complete dentures are designed to replace an entire arch of missing teeth, either on the upper or lower jaw or on both.
Conventional Complete Dentures
These are the traditional types of dentures made after the remaining teeth have been extracted and after the gums have healed, which can take several months.
Immediate Complete Dentures
These dentures are fabricated prior to the dentist extracting the remaining teeth and can be worn immediately after the extraction process. They serve as a temporary solution while the gums heal, after which they may need to be relined or replaced with conventional dentures.

anything
How long do dentures typically last?
Dentures can last you between 5 to 10 years with proper care and maintenance. However, the dentures may need to be relined or even replaced after a period of time due to changes in your mouth or bone structure.
Will dentures feel uncomfortable or bulky?
Initially, dentures may feel slightly uncomfortable or bulky as your mouth adjusts to them. However, they should eventually feel comfortable and natural with proper fitting and adjustments.
Can I eat normally with dentures?
Yes, with properly fitted dentures, you should be able to eat most foods. However, starting with softer foods is recommended, and gradually introducing harder or stickier foods as you become more comfortable with your dentures.
How do I care for my dentures when I'm not wearing them?
When not in use, dentures should be stored in a bath filled with water or a cleaning solution to prevent them from drying out and losing shape.
How often should I have my dentures checked or adjusted?
It’s recommended to have your dentures checked and adjusted by a professional at least once a year or more frequently if you experience any discomfort or changes in fit.
