What Is Dentures?
Dentures are removable prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding gum tissue. Modern dentures are crafted from high-quality acrylic and porcelain materials that closely mimic the appearance of natural teeth and gum tissue. They restore your ability to chew and speak naturally, and greatly improve your facial appearance and confidence.
At Akaay Dental Care, we offer complete dentures (for patients who have lost all teeth in an arch) and partial dentures (for patients with some remaining natural teeth). We also provide implant-supported dentures for superior stability and comfort.
When Do You Need It?
Dentures may be the right solution if you:
Have lost multiple or all teeth in one or both arches
Cannot chew or speak properly due to missing teeth
Want an affordable alternative to dental implants for full arch replacement
Have poorly fitting existing dentures that cause soreness or movement
Require immediate dentures placed on the same day as extractions
The Procedure - Step by Step
A comprehensive examination and dental impressions (moulds) of your mouth are taken.
The shape, size, and shade of the denture teeth are chosen to suit your facial features and preferences.
A trial denture (wax try-in) is placed for you to preview the fit and appearance before finalising.
Adjustments are made based on your feedback.
The final denture is fabricated in a certified dental laboratory.
The completed denture is fitted, refined for bite accuracy, and polished.
Detailed instructions on insertion, removal, and cleaning are provided.

Aftercare Tips
- Remove dentures at night and soak them in a denture solution or clean water.
- Brush your dentures daily with a soft brush and non-abrasive denture cleaner.
- Rinse your mouth and gums with warm salt water every morning.
- Handle dentures carefully over a folded towel or basin of water to avoid breaking them if dropped.
- Return for adjustments if the denture becomes loose or causes soreness - never attempt to adjust it yourself.
- Visit your dentist every 6–12 months so the fit can be assessed as your jaw changes over time.
