Dentures

Dentures

Dentures are the most traditional way of replacing lost teeth. Contemporary times have seen a shift away from traditional dentures and teeth being replaced by dental implants. However, in certain cases where one is used to wearing dentures and has worn them for a long time, it may still be the preferred option. 

Dentures can be made from acrylic, valplast (flexible dentures) or cobalt chrome.

Types of Dentures

Acrylic dentures

These are the most traditional and commonly used denture type. They are easy to make and very affordable. 

Flexible denture 

Flexible dentures are made from valplast which allow them to flex or bend in your mouth. They are more comfortable and better fitting than the acrylic denture because they are able to move and bend with the movements in your mouth. The material is also softer and easier on your gums. 

Cobalt Chrome dentures 

These dentures are made with a cobalt chrome base with acrylic teeth. The metal base makes the denture very strong, durable and long lasting. It also has the advantage of fitting very well and tightly in your mouth. Cobalt chrome dentures rarely move and are considered to be comfortable and retentive.

Procedure

The denture making process typically takes 3 to 4 visits. This is because several steps are needed to ensure a comfortable, well-fitting and functional denture is fabricated. 

Phase 1: Intra-oral scan or impression

Here an impression or a scan of your jaw is taken where the denture is needed. Your interjaw (bite) relationship is also recorded so we can fabricate a denture which bites harmoniously on the opposing teeth. 

Phase 2: Try-in

Here, we have a wax model of the denture made for you to try in your mouth. This allows us to assess the aesthetics, fit, bite and comfort of the denture.

Phase 3: Issue 

This is where the denture is ready for you to take home. We fit it in for you. Sometimes, minor adjustments are needed to ensure the denture is comfortable and you are confident in wearing and removing it. We will also go through instructions on how to maintain and clean the denture.  

As with any new prosthesis in your mouth, we will review after 2 weeks and again after 1 month to ensure you are comfortable or adjust the denture if needed.
