Dentures are removable replacements for missing upper and lower teeth. It is locally called a “pustiso”.

Sore Spots: New dentures may cause discomfort or irritation on soft tissues.
Gagging: Ill-fitting dentures can trigger the gag reflex.
Altered Taste Perception: Dentures may temporarily affect your sense of taste.
Initial Saliva Increase: Your body may produce excess saliva for the first 12-24 hours as it adjusts to the new dentures.
Oral Infections: Poor oral hygiene can lead to gingivitis or fungal infections under full dentures.
The denture-making process takes a few weeks and several appointments. Once your dentist determines what type and design of denture is best for you, the treatment starts with a series of impressions of the upper and lower jaw, registration of the bite, and facial measurements.
Models of your teeth are made to subsequently form the shape and position of the future denture using wax. Several trial fittings will be done with this model and the denture will be assessed for the color of the artificial teeth, shape, and fit before the final denture is processed.
Adjustments will be made as necessary for every step of the treatment.
Dental visit every year to check and examine the adaptation of the denture to the oral mucosa.
Clean the dentures properly by brushing them with soap or denture cleansers to remove foul odor.
Remove the denture every night so the oral mucosa can properly rest from all-day coverage of the denture and prevent the formation of fungal diseases.
