At Klinik Pergigian Luq, we know that losing your teeth can be a challenging experience, affecting not just your ability to eat and speak but also your confidence. That’s why we offer high-quality dentures designed to restore your smile and improve your quality of life. Whether you need a full set of dentures or partial ones, our team will work with you to create a comfortable, natural-looking solution tailored to your needs.
Dentures are removable prosthetic devices that replace missing teeth and the surrounding tissues. They are custom-made to fit your mouth, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit. Dentures can be made for the upper or lower jaw or both, depending on your needs. They are an excellent option for individuals who have lost several or all of their teeth due to decay, gum disease, injury, or other factors.
Adjusting to dentures can take a little time, especially if you’re new to wearing them. You might experience some initial discomfort or difficulty speaking, but this usually improves as your mouth gets used to the new appliance. Regular check-ups with our dentist will help ensure that your dentures continue to fit well and function properly.
Full dentures are used when all of the teeth in the upper or lower jaw need to be replaced. They consist of a complete set of artificial teeth attached to a gum-coloured acrylic base that fits snugly over your gums. Conventional dentures are made after the teeth have been removed and the gums healed, while immediate dentures are placed immediately after tooth extraction, allowing you to have teeth during the healing process.
Partial dentures are ideal for patients who still have some of their natural teeth remaining. They consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum-coloured base, which is connected by a metal framework that holds the denture in place. Partial dentures not only fill the gaps caused by missing teeth but also prevent your remaining teeth from shifting out of position.
Flexible dentures are a type of partial denture made from a softer, more pliable material. Unlike conventional dentures, which are typically made from rigid acrylic, flexible dentures are crafted from a flexible thermoplastic material, such as nylon. This material allows the dentures to bend and adapt to the natural contours of your gums and teeth, offering a more comfortable and discreet alternative for replacing missing teeth.
For a more secure fit, implant-supported dentures are an excellent option. These dentures are anchored to dental implants that are surgically placed into the jawbone. This provides a stable foundation, reducing movement and enhancing comfort. Implant-supported dentures can be either full or partial and offer a more permanent solution compared to traditional dentures.
Comfort is one of the most important aspects of choosing dentures. If you have struggled with irritation from traditional dentures, you might want to consider flexible dentures. These dentures are made from soft, pliable materials that mould to the shape of your mouth, providing a more comfortable fit and reducing the likelihood of sore spots.
If having a natural-looking smile is a priority for you, consider how the dentures will look. Flexible dentures, for example, are designed without visible metal clasps, which are common in traditional partial dentures. This allows them to blend more seamlessly with your natural gums and teeth, creating a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
When choosing dentures, it’s essential to think about durability. Traditional dentures made from acrylic or metal are strong, but flexible dentures offer the added benefit of being resistant to cracks and fractures. If you’re looking for a long-lasting solution that can withstand everyday wear and tear, durability should be a key consideration.
If you have allergies or sensitivities to certain materials, it’s crucial to choose dentures that are hypoallergenic. Flexible dentures are often made from materials that are less likely to cause allergic reactions compared to traditional metal or acrylic dentures. Discuss your medical history with your dentist to determine the best material for your dentures.
The stability of your dentures is vital for comfort and functionality. Traditional dentures may require adhesives to stay in place, which can be cumbersome for some patients. Flexible dentures, on the other hand, naturally grip the gums and remaining teeth without the need for adhesives, providing a secure fit that stays in place throughout the day.
Ultimately, the best way to choose the right dentures is by consulting with your dentist. They can assess your oral health, discuss your preferences, and help you make an informed decision. Your dentist will guide you through the options, considering factors like the number of missing teeth, the condition of your gums, and your overall health to recommend the dentures that will work best for you.

We’ll provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your dentures, including cleaning tips and advice on when to remove them. Proper care is essential to extend the life of your dentures and maintain good oral hygiene.
The process begins with an examination of your mouth, with X-rays, to assess the health of your gums and any remaining teeth. Our dentist will discuss your options and help you choose the type of denture that best suits your needs.
Once you’ve decided on the type of denture, we’ll take precise impressions of your mouth. These impressions are sent to a dental lab, where your custom dentures are crafted to fit your unique oral structure.
After your dentures are ready, you’ll come in for a fitting. Our dentist will ensure that your new dentures fit comfortably and make any necessary adjustments.

With proper care, dentures can last between 5 to 10 years. However, they may need adjustments or relining over time to maintain a good fit as your mouth naturally changes.
Yes, but it may take some time to adjust. Start with softer foods and gradually reintroduce harder foods as you become more comfortable.
Dentures should be cleaned daily using a soft-bristled brush and non-abrasive denture cleaner. It’s also important to soak them in a denture solution overnight to keep them moist and prevent warping.
It’s recommended to remove your dentures at night to give your gums a rest and to reduce the risk of irritation or infection.
