Question 1

What is the difference between a partial denture and a full denture?

Accepted Answer

A partial denture is used when you still have some natural teeth that it can be attached to. A full denture is used when all teeth in a jaw are missing. The partial denture uses existing teeth for support, while the full denture adheres to the palate or gums through suction.

Question 2

Can you eat normally with dentures?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with well-fitted dentures you can eat most foods without problems. During the first few weeks there is an adjustment period, during which it's best to start with softer foods. Over time you will get used to them and can gradually expand your diet.

Question 3

Are clasp dentures visible?

Accepted Answer

With a classic clasp denture, the metal clasps can be visible depending on their position, especially in the front tooth area. More aesthetically pleasing alternatives are cast frame dentures with more precise attachments or telescopic dentures, which are not recognizable as dentures from the outside. During a consultation we will find the right solution for you.

Question 4

How long does a denture last?

Accepted Answer

The lifespan of a denture depends on care and individual circumstances. With good care and regular check-ups, a denture can last 5 to 10 years. Over time, adjustments may be necessary as the jaw changes.
