Dentures
Partial or complete dentures replace your natural teeth and provide support to your cheeks and lips, allowing you to enjoy healthy food and smile confidently. Dentures are made of acrylic and designed to look like natural teeth and gums, ensuring a comfortable fit.
Replacing missing teeth
Dentures are an excellent solution for those with missing teeth. They replace lost teeth and improve the aesthetic appearance and functionality of your smile.

A durable and aesthetic solution
Dentures are made from high-quality materials that provide long-term use and maintain an aesthetic appearance with proper care.
Making dentures
We create dentures in collaboration with a dental laboratory, based on multiple impressions of your mouth. The type of denture chosen determines the number of visits needed.
How many visits are needed?
For a partial denture, usually three visits are sufficient, while a complete denture requires five visits. After receiving your denture, we will schedule a follow-up to ensure it fits well and that you are satisfied.
How is the denture fitting process?
Consultation and planning
The process of making dentures begins with a consultation with your dentist. Our experts will listen to your needs, examine the condition of your teeth and mouth, and determine the best solution. Based on this information, we will develop a plan for creating dentures tailored to your needs.
Mouth impression
Following the planning, we take an impression of your mouth. Using a special material, we will accurately capture your gums and teeth, which will serve as the basis for creating your custom dentures. These impressions are sent to the laboratory where your dentures will be made.
Fitting and adjustments of dentures
Once your dentures are ready, you will meet with your dentist again. This step is crucial to ensure the dentures fit your gums and mouth properly. Adjustments will be made if necessary to ensure comfort and functionality. Our team will also advise you on proper care and maintenance of your dentures to keep them in optimal condition.

Answers to frequently asked questions
What is dentures?
Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth and the surrounding tissue. They can be partial, when only a few teeth are missing, or complete, when all teeth are missing. They are made from acrylic or metal and are designed to be worn comfortably while looking as natural as possible.
Are dentures comfortable to wear?
Yes, our dentures are made from premium materials and are custom-fitted to your mouth, ensuring comfortable wear throughout the day.
Is the denture process time-consuming?
The time required to make dentures depends on the type and complexity of the case. Generally, it takes a few weeks to complete and fit the dentures to your needs.
How to maintain dentures?
For partial and complete dentures, careful handling is crucial. When cleaning them, do so over a towel or a sink filled with water to prevent damage if dropped. Dentures should be cleaned thoroughly twice a day, and rinsed after each meal is recommended. Clean your dentures outside of your mouth, using soapy water and a soft-bristled brush. Avoid regular toothbrushes and toothpaste as they are too abrasive for the denture material. Clean all surfaces and hard-to-reach areas thoroughly. Store complete dentures in a glass of water or a special denture solution. Chemical and enzymatic cleaning agents can be used as an addition but not as a substitute for regular daily cleaning.
What is the lifespan of dentures?
The average lifespan of dentures is 7-10 years, depending on maintenance. Even though most dentures last over 10 years, older dentures can accumulate bacteria, causing oral problems. Over time, the shape of your jaw changes, and the old denture may no longer fit the hard and soft tissues. Often, dentures can be repaired and restored, but when that’s no longer possible, a new one is made.
How much do dentures cost?
Dentures are a long-term investment, so it’s advisable to use the highest quality materials and techniques. The cost of dentures depends on the complexity of the case and the materials used. Your dentist will explain the details specific to your case.
Can dentures be combined with implants?
Implants are a modern alternative to both partial and full dentures or can be used to stabilize dentures. They provide a more secure feeling since the dentures do not move on their own. As a replacement for partial dentures, implants are placed where teeth are missing, and porcelain crowns are cemented onto them.
Complete dentures can also be securely attached with implants, especially in the lower jaw, where even two implants can significantly improve the stability and comfort. Especially while moving or chewing.
What to do if dentures cause soreness?
When you start using a new denture, it will take some time to get used to it. It’s recommended to wear it continuously for the first week, only removing it for a short time. Continuous wear helps you adapt to the denture faster. If the denture causes significant discomfort and the mucosa becomes inflamed, visit your dentist as soon as possible. They will adjust the denture to relieve the sore spot. Sometimes, this process needs to be repeated a few times.
Do dentures affect speech and eating?
Initially, you may need some time to adjust to new dentures, but you will quickly get used to them. Soon, you will be able to speak normally and enjoy your meals without difficulty.
