There are several dentures available at our dental clinic in Kodambakkam, including partial dentures and full dentures.

1. Partial dentures

Our dentures doctor in Kodambakkam use partial dentures if one or more natural teeth are present in the lower or upper jaw. These types of dentures use clips to anchor your healthy teeth. They correct issues such as fill in the gaps created by missing teeth and prevent them from changing position.

2. Full dentures

If you have lost all of your teeth due to an infection, periodontitis, injury, or another medical condition, you will need complete dentures. These false teeth are fixed to a plate that rests against your gums.

Generally, the plates and gum fittings are made of metal or acrylic that matches the color of your gum and are usually concealed from view. You may use false teeth adhesive to hold your dentures in place.

3. Removable dentures

The traditional removable dentures are easier to clean. However, since they are more likely to slip out of place, our dentures doctor in Kodambakkam advises avoiding chewy, sticky, or rough foods.

False teeth adhesive can help hold them in place, but it is not always easy to apply. Removable dentures typically last five years before having to be replaced.

4. Flexible dentures

Flexible dentures are a common alternative to conventional dentures. The flexible and highly durable materials make them more comfortable to wear. They don’t require any clips like partial dentures because of the translucent resin that resembles your gum color.

Flexible dentures are also less bulky and lighter in weight than partial dentures. They have a five-to-eight-year lifespan. However, they are quite expensive than other options.

The development of dentures will take a few weeks and several appointments. First, Dr S. Bhuvaneswari, our experienced dentures doctor in Kodambakkam specializing in the reconstruction and replacement of teeth, will determine which form of the appliance is best for you.

• Then she will make a set of impressions of your jaw and measure how your jaws interact with one another and how much space there is between them.
• She will create models, wax shapes, or plastic designs that are exact replicas of the denture’s shape and position. Before casting the final denture, you will try on this model several times, and we will assess the shape, color, and fit.
• Finally, we will make a denture.
• We will make adjustments if necessary.
