- Partial dentures
Partial dentures are an effective solution for those who are missing only a few teeth. They consist of replacement teeth that are attached to a metal or acrylic base that matches the colour of your gums. Partial dentures are designed to fit comfortably and securely in your mouth, using clasps that attach to your remaining natural teeth. This provides stability and helps prevent the partial denture from slipping or moving around while speaking or eating. Our team of experienced dental professionals will work with you to create a custom partial denture that fits your individual needs, ensuring that you can eat, speak and smile with confidence.
- Full dentures
Full dentures are a removable replacement for missing teeth and the surrounding tissue. At Titirangi Village Dental, we offer both conventional and immediate full dentures. Conventional full dentures are made after the remaining teeth are removed and the gum tissue has healed. This process typically takes about 8-12 weeks. Immediate full dentures are made in advance and can be inserted immediately after the teeth are removed. However, as the gums heal and shrink, immediate dentures require more adjustments to fit properly and patients may need to switch to conventional dentures after a few months. Our dental team will work with you to determine the best option for your individual needs and provide you with a comfortable, natural looking smile.
- Implant-supported dentures
Implant-supported dentures are an innovative solution to the traditional denture problem of slippage and discomfort. This type of denture is secured in place by dental implants, providing a more stable and comfortable fit. Implant-supported dentures can be either removable or fixed, depending on your preference and needs. The dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, providing a sturdy foundation for the dentures. This treatment option requires careful planning and evaluation to ensure a successful outcome and the treatment timeline may vary depending on individual circumstances.

Frequently asked questions
What are the four types of dentures?
The four types of dentures are full dentures, partial dentures, implant-supported dentures and immediate dentures. Full dentures are used when all the teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. Implant-supported dentures are secured in place by dental implants, while immediate dentures are made in advance and inserted immediately after the teeth are removed. Your dentist will be able to advise you on which type of denture is best suited to your individual needs.
How many teeth do you need for dentures?
The number of teeth required for dentures varies from person to person and it depends on the individual’s needs. Some people may require a full set of dentures if they have lost all their teeth, while others may only need partial dentures to replace a few missing teeth. Your dentist will assess your situation and recommend the best course of action. Book a consultation with us at Titirangi Village Dental to discuss your options and determine the best type of denture for your specific needs.
Can you sleep with dentures in?
While it is generally safe to sleep with dentures in, it is recommended that you remove them at night to allow your gums and mouth to rest. Sleeping with dentures in can also increase the risk of oral health problems, such as bacterial infections and gum inflammation. If you do choose to sleep with your dentures in, make sure to clean them thoroughly beforehand and rinse your mouth with water before going to bed. It’s important to schedule regular check-ups with your dentist to ensure that your dentures are properly fitted and in good condition.
How long until you can eat solid food after getting dentures?
After getting dentures, it is important to follow your dentist’s instructions carefully to ensure a smooth recovery. In general, it is recommended to stick to soft and easy to chew foods for the first few days to allow your mouth to adjust to the dentures. After this initial period, you can gradually start introducing more solid foods into your diet, but it may take several weeks to feel completely comfortable eating tough or crunchy foods. It is important to be patient and take your time when chewing to avoid any discomfort or damage to the dentures. Your dentist can provide you with more specific guidelines based on your individual needs and situation.
Can you get temporary teeth while waiting for dentures?
Yes, temporary teeth can be provided while waiting for dentures to be made. These temporary teeth, also known as immediate dentures, are made prior to the removal of any remaining teeth and are inserted immediately after the extraction process. This allows patients to have a functional set of teeth while they wait for their permanent dentures to be made. Your dentist will work with you to ensure a comfortable fit and provide instructions on how to care for the temporary teeth until the permanent dentures are ready.
Do dentures start to feel like real teeth?
Absolutely! With proper care and adjustments, many patients find that their dentures begin to feel more and more like their natural teeth over time. In fact, modern denture materials and techniques have come a long way in replicating the look, feel and function of natural teeth. With patience and a positive attitude, most patients can enjoy a comfortable and functional smile with their dentures. Our team at Titirangi Village Dental will work closely with you to ensure your dentures fit properly and feel as natural as possible.
