There comes a time when there is no other choice but to extract some or all of your teeth. Whether from disease, malnutrition or genetic disorders, sometimes it is necessary for us to extract all of a patient's lower or upper teeth. While this can be devastating, dentures can provide a second chance at a beautiful smile.

Having complete dentures help with chewing as well as support one's facial structure and improve speech. With immediate dentures, you can have a full set of teeth while you are waiting for your gums to heal and your bone to realign after having teeth removed. This can take up to six months, so immediate dentures are a great alternative during that time.

Sometimes, complete dentures are not necessary. Partial dentures can replace a string of missing teeth, and are secured to your remaining teeth with clasps.

No matter which kind of dentures you choose, you can be assured to receive natural-looking dentures that match your facial structure and desired tooth color.

At Vasundhara Dental Clinic we produce high quality dentures of various types of materials, including Valplast, Flexite, metal frame. and acrylic. These materials can be used for either partial or full dentures. The cost of dentures at Vasundhara Dental Clinic is very reasonable.

What is a reline and why I may need it?

A reline is a procedure used to re-fit the surface of a denture to a person's gum. This is done by placing a new acrylic base into the denture, duplicating the new form of the oral structures in the mouth. A reline can bring back suction, comfort, stability and discourage food from going under the denture. Since your mouth and the dental ridges change or shrink over time, a denture reline is necessary to keep your denture fitting well and to prevent your dental ridges from "shrinking" more rapidly. Reasons you may require a reline.
