Complete dentures

When all the teeth are lost

When all the teeth are lost, we lose the ability to chew and speak properly, not to mention the impact on how we look. Complete dentures restore your smile and the function of your whole mouth.

How it works

  2. 2Final impressions and bite record. So the denture closes properly.
  3. 3Wax try-in. You see how they look before it's finished.
  4. 4Delivery and adjustments. During the first weeks it's adjusted wherever it rubs or hurts.

Afterwards

  • For the first few days, eat soft food in small pieces.

  • Take it out to sleep and keep it clean in water.
