Removable dentures

Removable dentures are generally a more affordable solution for replacing missing teeth when implants are not possible or there is bone loss. The dentures are individually made to fit your oral cavity precisely.

When to see a specialist

  • Complete tooth loss: In one or both jaws.
  • Partial tooth loss: When several teeth are missing and a dental bridge is not a suitable option.

Common symptoms

  • Changes in jaw shape

    Following tooth loss, the shape of the jaw may change over time.

  • Difficulty chewing

    Chewing food is uncomfortable or difficult.

  • Dissatisfaction with the appearance of your smile

    The condition of your teeth affects the appearance of your smile and your self-confidence.

  • Missing teeth

    One, several, or all teeth are missing, affecting chewing, speech, and the appearance of the smile.

How to prepare for your appointment

  • Bring an ID card or another form of identification.
  • Write down or think through your main questions and expectations regarding dentures.
  • Information about previous dental procedures, medications you are taking, and your general health will be helpful.
  • No special preparation (e.g. fasting) is required unless agreed otherwise.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are removable dentures?

Removable dentures are artificial teeth that replace missing teeth and can be taken out of the mouth for cleaning.

Do dentures look natural?

Yes, modern dentures are individually made to match your facial features and oral cavity, providing a natural and aesthetic result.

How long do dentures last?

The lifespan is individual, but with proper care and regular check-ups, dentures can last 5–10 years.

Is wearing dentures painful?

At first, dentures may cause discomfort or irritation, but the mouth usually adapts over time. If needed, dentures can be adjusted.

How should dentures be cared for?

Dentures should be cleaned daily using special brushes and cleaning products. Regular dental check-ups are also important.

Can dentures fall out?

Properly made and adjusted dentures stay securely in place. Denture adhesive can be used if necessary

Can I eat all foods with dentures?

At first, it is recommended to eat softer foods. Over time, most foods can be eaten, but caution is advised with very hard or sticky foods.

What is the difference between partial and full dentures?

Partial dentures replace some missing teeth, while full dentures replace all teeth in one or both jaws.

Are dentures suitable for everyone?

Suitability is assessed individually by a dentist, taking into account your oral health and general condition.

Can dentures cause jawbone loss?

Yes, dentures do not stimulate the jawbone like natural teeth, so bone loss may occur over time. Implant-supported dentures help prevent this.
