Dentures at PlanDental in Mahim, Mumbai are removable appliances that replace missing teeth — a complete denture when all teeth in an arch are missing, or a partial denture when some natural teeth remain. They're a practical, non-surgical option, especially suited to replacing several or all teeth at once. See Missing Teeth for how dentures compare to bridges and implants.
A denture is a custom-made appliance with replacement teeth set into a gum-coloured base, shaped to fit the contours of your mouth. A complete denture rests on the gums and is held in place by suction and the natural contours of the mouth, sometimes with the help of a denture adhesive. A partial denture uses small clasps or attachments to connect to the remaining natural teeth for extra stability, while also filling the gaps between them.

Some adjustment period is normal as you get used to speaking and eating with a new denture.
Minor sore spots are common and adjusted at follow-up visits.
Dentures are removed and cleaned daily, and the mouth is rested from them overnight.
Gums and jaw shape can change over time, so periodic refitting or relining keeps the fit comfortable.
Dentures don't provide the same bite strength as natural teeth or implants, which can affect some harder or chewier foods.
Unlike implants, dentures don't stimulate the jawbone, so bone volume can continue to gradually decrease over time.
Fit can change as your gums and jaw shape change, which is why periodic adjustment or relining is part of ongoing denture care.
