What is Complete Denture?

A complete denture is a removable prosthesis that replaces all teeth in the upper or lower jaw (or both). It consists of artificial teeth set in a gum-coloured acrylic base that sits on the gum ridge. Modern dentures are more comfortable, natural-looking, and functional than ever before.

Frequently Asked Questions About Complete Denture

How long does it take to get used to dentures?
Most patients adapt within 2–4 weeks. Initially, speaking and eating may feel different. Starting with soft foods and practising speaking helps speed up the adjustment.
How long do dentures last?
Complete dentures last 5–8 years before needing replacement. Relining (adjusting the fit) may be needed every 2–3 years as the jaw bone naturally resorbs.
Can I eat normally with dentures?
Yes, after the adjustment period. Start with soft foods cut into small pieces. Most patients can eat a wide variety of foods comfortably within a few weeks.
