What are dentures?

Dentures are removable false teeth made to replace teeth you have lost, along with the surrounding gum tissue. A complete denture replaces all the teeth in an upper or lower jaw, while a partial denture fills the gaps left by one or a few missing teeth.

At Prudent Dental Care Clinic in Viman Nagar, dentures are planned and fitted by Dr. Puja Bansal (BDS). Modern dentures are more natural looking and comfortable than older designs. They can still feel unusual at first while your mouth adjusts.

Key takeaways

Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth and gum tissue. They can be complete or partial.
Complete dentures replace a whole upper or lower arch; partial dentures clip onto your remaining natural teeth.
They help restore chewing, speech and facial support, and can improve confidence in your smile.
New dentures often feel strange at first and may need adjusting as your mouth changes over time.
Cost is quoted individually after a consultation. There is no fixed online price.

Your Options

Types of dentures we provide

Complete dentures

A full set of removable teeth for an upper or lower jaw when all natural teeth are missing. The denture rests on the gums and is shaped to support your lips and cheeks.

Partial dentures

A removable plate that replaces one or a few missing teeth and clips onto your remaining natural teeth, filling the gaps and helping stop them from drifting.

Flexible partial dentures

A lighter, gum-coloured framework instead of rigid metal clasps, which some patients find more comfortable and discreet. Suitability is assessed case by case.

Dentures can also be combined with dental implants as implant-supported dentures for extra stability. Dr. Bansal will discuss whether this is an option for you.

Step by Step

What does getting dentures involve?

1

Consultation & assessment

We examine your mouth, remaining teeth and gums to decide whether a complete or partial denture is right for you.

2

Impressions & bite records

Moulds of your jaws and your bite are taken so the denture can be custom-made to fit your mouth.

3

Try-in & fitting

A trial denture lets us check the look, fit and bite before the final denture is made and fitted.

4

Review & adjustment

We see you again to check comfort and function, making small adjustments so the denture settles in well.

In the early weeks you may need a few visits so we can make sure the dentures fit well. Speaking and eating with dentures takes a little practice and usually becomes easier with time.

How dentures can help

Restore your ability to chew and eat a wider range of foods
Improve clarity of speech when teeth are missing
Support the lips and cheeks and reduce the collapsed look of tooth loss
Restore a natural-looking, confident smile
Offer a removable, non-surgical way to replace several teeth

Take care with hot foods and liquids while wearing dentures, as they can make it harder to feel temperature and small items such as bones.

What about cost?

There is no single price for dentures because every mouth is different. The total depends on whether you need a complete or partial denture, the materials chosen and how many teeth are being replaced. After your consultation we give you a clear, written quote so you know exactly what to expect.

FAQ

Denture FAQs

What is the difference between complete and partial dentures?

A complete denture replaces all the teeth in an upper or lower jaw and rests on the gums. A partial denture replaces one or a few missing teeth and clips onto your remaining natural teeth. Dr. Bansal will advise which suits your mouth.

Will dentures feel strange at first?

Yes, new dentures often feel bulky or unusual for the first few weeks while your mouth adjusts. Speaking and eating may feel different to begin with. This usually settles as you get used to wearing them; we review the fit and adjust as needed.

How do I look after my dentures?

Clean your dentures daily over a bowl of water, brush them with a soft brush and denture cleaner, and rinse after meals. Most removable dentures are taken out overnight. Keep your regular check-ups so we can check the fit and your gum health.

Do dentures need to be adjusted or replaced over time?

Over time your gums and jawbone gradually change shape, so a denture that once fit well can become loose. It may need relining, adjusting or, eventually, replacing. Let your dentist make these adjustments rather than altering the denture yourself.

Are dentures or implants better for me?

Both replace missing teeth. Dentures are removable and non-surgical, while dental implants are fixed into the jawbone. Some patients combine the two as implant-supported dentures for extra stability. The right choice depends on your jawbone, gums, health and preferences.

How much do dentures cost in Pune?

Cost depends on whether you need a complete or partial denture, the materials used and how many teeth are being replaced. We provide a clear, personalised quote after your consultation rather than a fixed online price.
