What is dentures & full mouth rehabilitation?
Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth. Complete dentures replace all teeth in an arch; partial dentures fill gaps where some natural teeth remain.
Implant-supported (overdentures) clip onto a small number of implants for improved stability. Full-mouth rehabilitation is a broader plan that restores the whole bite using a combination of crowns, bridges, implants or dentures.
Common reasons patients seek dentures & full mouth rehabilitation
- Many or all teeth missing
- Difficulty chewing or speaking
- Loose or ill-fitting existing dentures
- Facial support and appearance concerns
- Worn or broken-down teeth across the whole mouth
Who may benefit?
- People missing several or all teeth
- Patients looking for a lower-cost or non-surgical option
- Denture wearers wanting better stability with implants
Only a dental examination can confirm whether this treatment is right for you.

Consultation and diagnostic process
We assess ridges, remaining teeth and gum health. For implant-supported options, a CBCT scan is used to check bone.
General recovery and aftercare

- Remove and clean dentures daily; follow overnight advice given
- Clean your gums and any remaining teeth
- Return for adjustment if you notice sore spots
Your dentist will provide aftercare instructions specific to your treatment. Clinic to review aftercare text
Potential risks and limitations
- Sore spots during the first weeks
- Dentures may loosen as the jaw bone changes over time and need relining
- Removable dentures are generally less stable than fixed options
Your dentist will discuss risks, benefits and alternatives with you before you consent to treatment.
Treatment cost guidance
Denture cost depends on type (complete, partial, flexible, implant-supported) and materials. Ask for an estimate after your consultation.
Frequently asked questions
Dentures or implants — which should I choose?
Dentures are non-surgical and lower in cost; implants offer more stability but involve surgery. Implant-supported dentures are a middle ground. We will explain each option.
How long do dentures last?
They often need relining or replacement after several years as the mouth changes.
Can I sleep with dentures?
Most patients are advised to remove dentures at night to rest the gums — follow your dentist's guidance.
