Dentures are replacement teeth for people who no longer have natural teeth or for whom it is no longer possible to keep their own teeth. At IJssel Dental we make custom-made full dentures, partial dentures with a frame, and click dentures with implants. These dentures provide a comfortable fit and a natural appearance.
A denture is a removable prosthesis that replaces missing teeth and gums. It can be complete (for complete tooth replacement) or partial (for replacing some missing teeth). Dentures are made of durable materials such as acrylic resin and may include a metal frame for added stability.
What is a denture with a frame?
A denture with a frame, also called a frame denture, has a metal structure that supports the artificial teeth and gums. The frame provides a firm and stable fit by resting on the natural teeth or implants. This type of denture often offers more comfort and better function than a traditional denture.
What is a click-in denture with implants?
A snap-on denture is an advanced type of denture that is attached to implants. This type of prosthesis provides a stable and secure fit using a snap or screw system that holds the artificial teeth firmly in place. It is especially helpful for people with significant jawbone resorption (loss of jaw bone), where traditional dentures may be difficult to fit. Snap-on dentures improve fit, make chewing easier, and reduce discomfort.
We understand that a visit to the dentist can sometimes raise questions and concerns, so we have put together this section to provide you with clear and concise answers to the most common questions.
If your question is not answered here, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our team is always ready to help you.
Placing dentures is done in several steps. First, impressions are taken of your mouth to make a custom-made prosthesis. During a number of preparatory appointments, the denture and the fit are tested. Once the denture fits well, it is permanently placed. For dentures with a frame and click dentures with implants, additional steps are taken to optimize the stability and fit.
The process of making and fitting dentures usually takes several weeks. This includes multiple appointments to take impressions, try on the dentures, and any adjustments to ensure proper fit and function. Dentures with a frame and implant-retained dentures may take a little longer due to the complexity of the frame construction or the implant procedure.
The cost of dentures varies depending on the type of prosthesis and the complexity of the treatment. On average, the cost is between €1000 and €2500. Dentures with a frame and click dentures with implants can be on the higher side of this range. During your consultation, we will discuss the costs and possible payment options based on your specific situation.
It is important to clean your dentures daily. Brush them with a soft toothbrush and a special denture cleaner to remove stains and bacteria. Also rinse your dentures regularly with water and store them in a solution when you are not wearing them. Regular check-ups with your dentist are also essential to maintain the fit and condition of your dentures.
Yes, with dentures you can usually eat and talk normally, although it may take some time to get used to the new denture. Start with soft foods and build up slowly. If you experience problems with speaking or chewing, contact us for advice and possible adjustments.
If you find that your dentures are not fitting properly or causing discomfort, please contact us as soon as possible. This is especially true for dentures with a lot of jawbone resorption, where a traditional denture may not stay in place. We may consider a click-in denture with implants to improve the fit and ensure greater stability.
Dentures can last for many years, but they may need to be replaced or adjusted over time, especially if there are changes in your oral structure. Regular check-ups with your dentist will help ensure that your dentures continue to fit and function properly. Implant-retained dentures can also benefit from these adjustments to ensure the integrity of the implants and dentures.
