Dentures

Dentures are one of the most reliable and affordable solutions for replacing missing teeth. They help restore chewing ability, improve speech, and bring back confidence in your smile. At Sood Dental Care and Implant Centre, Jalandhar, Dr. Isha Sood, an experienced and highly skilled dentist, provides advanced denture solutions designed for long-term comfort and a natural appearance.

Dr. Isha Sood focuses on delivering personalised dental care to ensure every patient receives a denture that fits perfectly, feels comfortable, and looks natural. With her expertise, modern equipment, and a compassionate approach, patients experience a smooth and stress-free denture procedure.

Understanding Dentures

Dentures are removable dental appliances that replace missing teeth and restore oral function. They are custom-made to match your gum shape, bite pattern, and facial structure. Modern dentures look more natural, are lightweight, and allow patients to eat and speak comfortably.

Types of Dentures Offered at Sood Dental Care

1. Complete (Full) Dentures

These are provided when a patient has lost all teeth in the upper or lower jaw. Dr. Isha Sood carefully designs these dentures to ensure they look natural and fit securely.

2. Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are recommended when one or a few teeth are missing. They help maintain proper alignment of the remaining natural teeth and prevent shifting.

All dentures at Sood Dental Care are made from high-quality acrylic materials and are customised for each patient.

The Step-by-Step Process of Getting Dentures

At Sood Dental Care, the denture-making process is carried out with precision and attention to detail. Typically, patients require 4–5 appointments over a few weeks.

1. Initial Consultation & Impression Taking

Dr. Isha Sood examines your gums, oral tissues, and bite. A detailed impression of the mouth is taken to create a foundation for your denture.

2. Bite Registration

Your bite is measured to ensure the upper and lower jaws fit together properly. This step ensures your dentures maintain your natural facial proportions.

3. Wax Try-In

A wax model of the denture is created. During this stage:

• You check the appearance
• The dentist checks jaw relationship
• Any adjustments are made
• This helps ensure your final denture will be accurate and comfortable.

4. Final Denture Delivery

The final denture is processed, polished, and gently placed to check comfort and fitting. You receive complete instructions on wearing and maintaining your new dentures from Dr. Isha Sood.

Myths About Dentures – Corrected by Experts

1.  Dentures make eating difficult:

In the beginning, soft foods are recommended. After adjustment, most patients eat comfortably with proper care.

2.  Dentures last a lifetime:

With proper maintenance, dentures last 5–7 years. Over time, gums shrink and the fit may change, so replacements might be needed.

3. Everyone will know I’m wearing dentures:

Modern dentures are designed to look completely natural. At Sood Dental Care, each denture is crafted to match your face and smile.

4. Dentures don’t need cleaning:

Dentures require the same hygienic care as natural teeth.

5. I can fix dentures myself:

Self-repair can damage the denture. Always consult an expert like Dr. Isha Sood.

6. No need to visit a dentist after getting dentures:

Regular follow-ups are essential to ensure your gums remain healthy and your denture fits properly.

Common Problems When You First Start Wearing Dentures

It is normal to experience:

• A feeling of heaviness
• Increased saliva
• Slight speech difficulty
• Mild irritation or mouth sores

These issues are temporary and improve as you get used to the denture. Dr. Isha Sood provides guidance to help you adjust smoothly.

Should Dentures Be Removed at Night?

Yes. Removing dentures at night allows your gums to rest and repair. Always store them in water to prevent drying and cracking.

How Long Do Dentures Last?

On average, 5–7 years, depending on:

• Regular cleaning
• Night-time storage in water
• Bone changes over time
• Oral hygiene habits

Will Dentures Affect My Speech or Look?

There may be slight difficulty in speech initially, but this improves quickly. Dentures also help support facial muscles and maintain your natural appearance.
