Dentures replace missing teeth with a removable plate that’s made to fit your mouth. Well-made dentures help you chew, speak clearly and smile with confidence again.
If loose dentures are a problem, a few dental implants can hold them firmly in place. Dr. Vaishali will talk you through both options.

- Come back if anything rubs or feels loose. Small adjustments make a big difference.
Common questions
Will people be able to tell I wear dentures?
Modern dentures are made to match your face, gum colour and the shade you choose, and you approve the look at the try-in stage.
My dentures keep slipping. What can I do?
Sometimes a reline or a new denture fixes the fit. For a firmer hold, two or more implants can anchor the denture so it clips securely in place.
How long do dentures last?
Usually several years. Your gums and bone change over time, so we check the fit at your regular visits and reline or remake when needed.
