Dentures

original dentures types

Dentures are removable artificial teeth and gums used to replace missing teeth. They restore chewing, speech, and facial appearance, and prevent sagging of cheeks and lips. Complete dentures replace all teeth; partial dentures fill gaps and may clasp to remaining teeth.

Made of acrylic, metal, or porcelain, they are custom-fitted for comfort. Daily cleaning, removal at night, and regular dental checkups keep the mouth healthy. At Bhatia Dental, we design comfortable dentures suited to each patient’s needs. Thus, dentures improve function, confidence, and quality of life.

Remember, Good Oral Hygiene Involves:

Good oral hygiene means daily care to keep teeth, gums, and mouth healthy. It prevents cavities, gum disease, bad breath, and tooth loss. Key practices include proper brushing, interdental cleaning, a healthy diet, and regular dental check-ups.

  • Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste for two minutes.

  • Floss or use an interdental brush daily.

  • Clean the tongue gently.

  • Use mouthwash if advised by a dentist.

  • Limit sugary and sticky foods; eat calcium-rich foods.

  • Avoid tobacco, betel nut, and alcohol.

  • Visit a dentist every six months.

  • Replace your toothbrush every three months.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I eat with dentures?

Yes, you can eat with dentures after a short adjustment period. Begin with soft foods, cut small pieces, chew on both sides, and avoid hard or sticky items. Regular fit checks help.

Implant-supported dentures are best as they are stable, comfortable, and preserve jawbone. However, complete dentures suit affordability, while partial dentures replace few missing teeth. Choice depends on bone health and cost.

Dental implants are better than dentures because they replace tooth roots, preserve jawbone, feel natural, and offer stable chewing. However, they cost more and require adequate bone and surgery.

Dentists advise removing dentures before sleep. Overnight wear causes gum pressure, fungal infections, and bone loss. Removing them lets tissues rest, cleans dentures, and maintains oral health.

A single-tooth denture (flipper) costs roughly ₹800 to ₹2,700 in India, depending on material. Acrylic is cheaper, while flexible or metal-based dentures cost more. Prices vary by city and clinic.
