Dentures 

Missing teeth shouldn’t mean missing out—it’s time to reclaim your smile!

At Your Healthy Smile Dental Clinic, we understand that losing teeth can affect both your confidence and ability to enjoy daily activities. The good news is you don’t need to stress any more over it.

Also, every individual is different and so are their needs; for that, we offer options amongst complete, partial and implant-supported dentures. With this wide range of customised denture solutions, our expert team can restore your radiant smile and improve your quality of life.

Following are the widely used type of dentures:

1. Complete Dentures

What Are Complete Dentures?

Complete dentures are removable prosthetic devices that can substitute an entire arch of missing teeth. These are designed for individuals who have lost all their natural teeth in either the upper, lower jaw, or both due to decay, gum disease, or injury. 

Further, complete dentures consist of a flesh-coloured acrylic base that sits over your gums. It supports the full set of artificial teeth crafted to look natural and suit your facial structure.

The Process Of Getting Complete Dentures

Your journey to a new smile begins with a thorough and personalised consultation with one of our experts. Our experienced prosthetists will evaluate your oral health condition, discuss your needs and outline treatment options that are suitable for you.

At Your Healthy Smile, the process involves:

1. Initial Assessment: Our prosthetists shall evaluate your oral health and discuss your aesthetic preferences.
2. Impressions: We then take precise moulds of your mouth to ensure optimal fit.
3. Measurements: Here, your bite alignment and facial dimensions are recorded.
4. Final Fitting: Before finalising your dentures, you’ll have an opportunity to assess their appearance and fit. Any necessary adjustments will also be made to ensure comfort and functionality.
5. Follow-up Care: Regular check-ups help maintain fit and function over time.

Rest assured, complete dentures from us are designed to closely mimic natural teeth, with customised shades and positioning that complement your facial features. We also use durable materials to resist warping in the humid coastal climates.

What Complete Dentures From Us Offer You?

Our experts at Your Healthy Smile employ the latest techniques and high-quality materials to ensure that your complete dentures not only fit comfortably but also look natural. You can expect:

• Enhanced Appearance: They support facial muscles, preventing facial sagging and maintaining a youthful appearance.

• Custom Fit: Natural-looking acrylic teeth set in a gum-coloured base, ensure comfort and stability.

We work closely with you throughout the process, from initial impressions to final fittings, ensuring your satisfaction every step of the way.

2. Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are excellent for individuals who still retain some of their natural teeth. These fill the gaps or voids left by missing teeth, preventing the remaining teeth from shifting while maintaining the integrity of your bite.  At Your Healthy Smile Dental Clinic, we offer two variants of partial dentures: Acrylic and Chrome.

• Acrylic Partial Dentures

Acrylic partial dentures are a cost-effective solution, especially suitable for temporary use or when anticipating future dental changes.  They offer a natural appearance with customised tooth colour and positioning. Acrylic Partials are also easily modified in case you lose more teeth in the future. 

The Benefits Of Acrylic Partial Dentures Include:

• Affordability: Generally less expensive than other types
• Quick Fabrication: Faster turnaround time from impression to fitting
• Easy Upkeep: Maintenance, repairs and adjustments are not too demanding

While acrylic dentures are bulkier and may not offer the same durability as chrome options, they remain a popular choice for many visitors due to their versatility and accessibility.

• Chrome Partial Dentures

Chrome partial dentures represent a premium option offering superior strength and stability thanks to their lightweight metal framework. This option provides you with enhanced comfort and a less bulky feel. Chrome partial dentures or metal partial dentures are much thinner and more durable alternatives over acrylic. 

The Benefits Of Chrome Partial Dentures Include:

• Strength and Durability: Less prone to breakage, ensuring longevity for users
• Robust Performance: Those desiring improved chewing efficiency and comfort
• Comfort: Thinner design provides a more natural feel, discreet appearance and better taste perception.

While chrome dentures typically involve a higher initial investment than acrylic options, their exceptional durability and comfort make them cost-effective over time.
