Finding the appropriate design
A clinical assessment considers remaining teeth, gums, jaw relationships and available support. These findings guide the choice between removable, fixed and implant-supported options.
Adapting to a new denture
New dentures can require an adjustment period. Follow-up visits help review comfort, speech, chewing and pressure areas.
Long-term review
The mouth changes over time. Periodic examination helps assess fit, oral tissues and whether maintenance, relining or replacement is appropriate.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between complete and partial dentures?
Complete dentures replace all teeth in an arch. Partial dentures replace selected missing teeth and use the remaining teeth or tissues for support.
Can dentures be supported by implants?
Implants can improve the support or retention of some dentures when clinical conditions are suitable. Assessment and imaging are needed.
