Dentures - DK Dental Studio

Full/Partial Dentures

If you have lost some or all your teeth, you may need partial or full dentures. Partial dentures are typically secured with a clasp to your remaining teeth and gums, while full dentures are designed to replace an entire set of missing teeth.

The benefits of our dentures include:

Helping to prevent further damage to natural teeth while also keeping existing teeth in the correct position.
Restore smile, speech and ability to eat.
Comfortable, good fit and easy to remove and clean.
A great option whether you have some natural teeth or none at all.

Our Process View

First Appointment

We check your oral health and take the first impression (mould) of your mouth.

Second Appointment

We take a more detailed and accurate impression.

Third Appointment

We record how your upper and lower teeth come together (your bite). You'll also choose the size, shape, and colour of your new teeth.

Fourth Appointment – Wax Try-In

You'll see a draft version of your dentures in wax. This is your chance to check how they look and feel.

This stage is very important it's the last chance to make changes to the look of your dentures.

We recommend bringing a family member or friend for a second opinion. If everyone is happy, we'll move ahead with making your dentures.

If changes are needed, we'll redo this stage and book an extra visit.

Final Appointment – Issue

Your dentures will be ready. We'll fit them and check for comfort.

If you are getting full dentures, we may ask you to come back the next day for small adjustments.

Ongoing Care and Adjustments

After receiving your dentures, you may need small adjustments as your mouth settles. This is completely normal and part of our one-year warranty service. We're here to make sure your dentures stay comfortable and working well over time.

New – Immediate (Temporary) Dentures

Usually, after having teeth removed, you need to wait 2 to 3 months for your gums and bone to heal before getting new dentures. During this time, you may be left with gaps in your smile, find it hard to eat and feel discomfort.

Immediate dentures solve this problem by being placed in the mouth right after your teeth are taken out by your dentist. This means you won't have to go without teeth, and you can keep smiling, eating, and will help get through the healing period. They also help maintain the proper shape of your mouth and tongue during recovery.

Our Process View

Visit Your Dentist

Your dentist will check your oral health and decide which teeth need to be removed or repaired.
Your dentist and DK Dental Studio will stay in contact to coordinate your care.
Once ready, your dentist will book your tooth extraction appointment.

Book with DK Dental Studio (ASAP)

Book your appointment with us as soon as your extraction is planned.
Some cases take up to 2 weeks to prepare your immediate denture, so timing is important.

Immediate Denture Preparation

At your appointment with DK Dental Studio, we will:

Take impressions (moulds) of your mouth
Record your bite
Help you choose the size and colour of your new teeth

If your case is more complex, you may need extra visits.

Denture Collection Before Extraction

Your immediate denture will be ready for the day of your tooth removal.
Collect your denture 1 hour before your dentist appointment.
We'll also book a next-day follow-up with us.

Tooth Removal & Denture Placement

Give your denture to your dentist before the extraction.
After your teeth are removed, the denture will be placed immediately.
It acts like a bandage to help stop bleeding and reduce swelling.
Keep it in for the first 24 hours.

Next-Day Check-Up at DK Dental Studio

We'll check the fit, adjust, and start monitoring your healing.

Temporary Denture Relines

As your gums heal, your denture may feel loose or uncomfortable.
We'll add soft lining material (temporary filling) to improve the fit.
These are done as many times as needed while you heal.

Healing Period (2 to 3 Months)

Your bone and gums will shrink and settle during this time.
Once healing is complete, we'll start making your permanent full or partial dentures.
Please refer to our Full/Partial Denture Process for full details on how we create your new dentures.

Existing Denture - Immediate Addition

Usually, after having teeth removed, you need to wait 2 to 3 months for your gums and bone to heal before adding to your existing denture. During this time, you may be left with gaps in your smile, find it hard to eat and feel discomfort.

Immediate addition solves this problem by adding teeth to your existing denture prior to your extraction. This means your existing denture can be placed in the mouth right after your teeth are taken out by your dentist. This means you can keep smiling, eating, and get through the healing period.

Our Process View

Visit Your Dentist

Your dentist will check your mouth and decide which teeth need to be removed or repaired.
They'll let us know which teeth are being taken out and when.
Once their work is done, they'll book your extraction.

Book with DK Dental Studio

As soon as your extraction is booked, call us to start your immediate addition treatment.
Important: We will need to take your existing denture to add teeth to it. You won't be able to wear your denture during this time.

Immediate Addition Preparation

At your appointment, we will:

Take impressions (moulds) of your mouth
Record your bite
Match the new teeth to your current denture

Depending on your case, this process will take 1 to 2 days.

Collect Before Extraction

Your denture with the added teeth will be ready for the day of your extraction.
Please collect it at least 1 hour before your dental appointment.
We'll also book a next day check up with us.
Note: The denture can't be tried in before the extraction.

Extraction & Denture Placement

Give your denture to your dentist before the extraction.
After removing the teeth, they'll place the denture right away.
Keep it in for 24 hours to help with bleeding and swelling.
After 24 hours, remove it, clean it, and rinse your mouth.

Next-Day Appointment at DK Dental Studio

We'll check how the denture fits and make any needed adjustments. This starts the healing phase.

Temporary Fillings During Healing

As your gums heal and shrink, the denture may become loose.
We'll add soft material to fill in the gaps and reduce irritation.
These temporary fillings can be done as many times as needed.

Final Reline (After 2 to 3 Months)

Once your mouth has fully healed (usually after 2 to 3 months), we'll reline your denture.
This is a more accurate and permanent fix for better comfort and support.
You'll need to leave your denture with us for 1 to 2 days.
After that, we'll fit and adjust it, and your treatment will be complete.

Important Note:

If your partial denture is being turned into a full denture, we recommend making a new denture instead of relining the old one, as the results will be better.

Snap-On Smile

Snap-On Smile is a removable, custom-made set of teeth that fits right over your natural teeth, no glue or drilling needed. You can eat, drink, and talk as normal while wearing it. It's a great option for people who want a better-looking smile without the cost or commitment of more permanent treatments.

Implant Retained Dentures

Implant-retained overdentures are dentures that clip onto dental implants in your jaw. The implants act like strong anchors, keeping the denture in place. Unlike regular dentures, they don't slip or move around.

Benefits include:

Better stability and fit
Improved comfort when eating and speaking
Less rubbing and irritation
More natural feel compared to traditional dentures
