Dentures

Removable artificial teeth for replacing missing teeth, commonly known as "false teeth".

BPS dentures are the product of effective cooperation between dentists and dental technicians. The results are high-quality tooth replacements for discerning patients.

Exceptionally high-quality dentures, using beautiful teeth and high strength polymers by an injection molding technique.

The precision of these dentures are unsurpassed and hence the comfort and esthetics set them apart from the conventional denture.

Partial denture

Partial dentures are fitted to replace teeth that are missing. In such cases, partial dentures are used when there are still healthy teeth left, and these partial dentures often come with clasps that hold your denture in place by hooking on to your tooth.

Immediate denture

In some situations whereby extraction of front teeth is required, the aesthetic look may be a concern and you may require something to close the missing gap immediately. In such cases, immediate dentures can be made prior to the extraction and inserted right after the extraction is done. However, some adjustments and reline of the denture may be required a few months later after the extraction wound heals and recover so that the denture will fit better.

Full/Complete denture

Full/complete dentures replace the whole row of teeth (either upper/ lower). In such a situation, there are no longer any natural teeth left on the entire arch. Since there are no longer any teeth to hold the denture in place, the complete denture relies greatly on your teeth and gums tissues for retention.

1. Post-delivery pain or discomfort – lasting a few days to several weeks. The new dentures press on the oral soft tissues and lie in the tongue space. Tender areas or ulcers may develop at first, which will heal over time after adjustments to the denture(s). Patients must wear the denture(s) preferably on the day when they are reviewed so that the doctor can identify the problem areas.
2. Dentures move during function – dentures are removable. The fewer teeth that are left for the denture to hold on to, the more the denture depends on the soft tissues for support and retention. When there are no teeth, full complete dentures are supported by the ridge and the surrounding soft tissues. Lower full dentures are usually more mobile and feel loose as it is only supported by a narrow ridge and lies in the space of the tongue. The patient will have to learn how to control and hold the dentures with his/her cheek muscles and tongue.
3. Difficulty in eating – chewing food may be uncomfortable, even painful at first. Patients may need to return to the dental clinic for adjustments. Patients may bite on their cheeks, tongue, or lips initially. The dentures may move when the patient chews. Patients should practice eating with their new denture(s), starting with soft food cut into small pieces, and biting on both sides, eventually progressing to harder food. Sticky food should be avoided.
4. Difficulty in speaking – Initially, the pronunciation of words may be affected. They may have more saliva. With use and practice, patients will learn how to speak properly with the new dentures.
5. It is common to feel uncomfortable with new dentures at the beginning, but feel free to return for dentures adjustments if required. It usually takes a few days or even weeks and months to get comfortable wearing them. The key to successfully adapting to a new set of dentures is to never give up adjusting and wearing it.
