What Are Full Dentures?
Overview

What Are Full Dentures?

Full dentures are a complete set of prosthetic teeth replacing an entire arch in the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both. Custom-made to fit your mouth, they provide a functional and aesthetically pleasing solution for those who have lost all natural teeth. They restore chewing and speaking ability and help maintain facial structure. Modern full dentures are more comfortable and natural-looking than ever.

Full Dentures vs Implants
Considerations

Full Dentures vs Implants

Full dentures can sometimes shift or become loose. They don't prevent jawbone loss. They may cause initial discomfort during the adjustment period. They typically need replacement every few years. However, they are significantly more affordable, require no surgery, and can be obtained quickly. For those not suitable for implants, full dentures remain an excellent option.

Benefits & Features

Complete Restoration

Full dentures replace an entire arch of missing teeth, fully restoring your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

By filling in for all missing teeth, full dentures support your facial muscles and prevent the sunken appearance that often accompanies tooth loss.

Full dentures are significantly more affordable than full-arch implant solutions, making complete tooth replacement accessible to more patients.

Frequently Asked Questions

The process of getting full dentures typically takes several weeks, including initial consultations, impressions, try-ins, and final fitting. In some cases, immediate dentures can be placed on the same day teeth are extracted, though adjustments may be needed as your gums heal.
There is an adjustment period when you first receive full dentures. Start with soft foods cut into small pieces and chew slowly using both sides of your mouth. Over time, you will be able to eat most foods comfortably, though very hard or sticky foods should be avoided.
Well-fitted dentures should stay in place through natural suction and the muscles of your mouth. Denture adhesive can provide extra security if needed. Regular dental visits ensure your dentures continue to fit properly as your jawbone and gums change over time.
Full dentures typically last 5 to 10 years before they need to be replaced. However, they may need periodic adjustments or relining as your jawbone and gums change shape over time. Regular dental check-ups help ensure your dentures remain comfortable and functional.
