Dr Mohit Dhawan, MDS Prosthodontist & Implantologist and Director at ADC—Centre for Restorative & Implant Dentistry in Chandigarh.

Types of Dentures
1. Complete (Full) Dentures
Fill all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw. These can be removed with an acrylic base supporting on gums.
2. Partial Dentures
For individuals with a few missing teeth, partial dentures are fixed to adjacent natural teeth through clasps, avoiding the movement of teeth. They are available in acrylic, metal, or flexible materials.
3. Immediate Dentures
Constructed in advance and inserted immediately following tooth removal. They provide immediate functionality but might require relines or adjustments when healing.
4. Overdentures
Removable and stabilized by other natural tooth roots or implants. They maintain jawbone and sensory input.
5.Implant Supported Dentures
Attached to dental implants for enhanced stability—severely lessening slippage and bone loss.
Cost Comparison.
Expenses range broadly depending on type, materials, location, and skill.
Other cost factors are initial procedures (extractions, bone grafts, scan, try ins), lab procedure, implant type, and practitioner experience. At ADC, under the guidance of Dr Dhawan, careful treatment planning—involving CBCT scanning—is routine to provide the best results.
Why Choose Implant Supported Dentures?
• Better stability and retention—no adhesives
• Saves jawbone, facial contour, and avoids bone loss
• Allows natural chewing and confident speech
• Custom-fitted with high patient satisfaction
Dr Dhawan and his staff are experts in All on 4 implant protocols, enabling patients to depart the clinic with fixed teeth in a single visit—improving comfort and convenience. Looking After Your Dentures
Good care extends denture life and maintains oral health:
• Daily maintenance: Rinse after meals, brush with soft brush and non-abrasive cleanser, soak overnight in denture solution.
• Nightly removal: Allow gums to rest and prevent risk of fungal infection (e.g., denture stomatitis).
• Don't use harsh cleaners: Avoid bleach—aside from degrading acrylic, it can discolor and break dentures .
• Checkups: Regular dental visits enable relines, adjustments, and examination of oral tissues. Fit can alter over time.
• Implant denture care: Clean around attachments to avoid plaque and gum problems; use special brushes and Dr Dhawan's protocol.
For cost: Simple removable dentures (full or partial) can do, but they need frequent adjustments and are not permanent.
For preserving bone and comfort: Overdentures or implant-supported ones provide greater stability and long-term advantages—albeit at a greater initial expense.
For temporary requirements: Immediate dentures fill the interim gap after extraction but may require adjustment in the future.
For conservative loss of natural teeth: Overdentures utilize the remaining roots or implants, preserving sensory advantage and bone support.
