What Are Complete Dentures?

Complete dentures (also called full dentures) are removable dental appliances that replace all the teeth in either the upper or lower arch — or both. They sit directly on the gums and are custom-fitted to your mouth for stability and comfort.

There are two main types of full dentures:

• Conventional Dentures: Placed after the gums have fully healed from tooth removal (usually several weeks).
• Immediate Dentures: Placed right after extractions so you never go without teeth, though they may need adjustments as the gums heal.

Benefits of Full Dentures

• ✅ Restore your full smile after total tooth loss
• ✅ Improve chewing, speaking, and facial support
• ✅ Boost confidence and self-esteem
• ✅ Affordable compared to implants
• ✅ Custom-fit for comfort and appearance
• ✅ Easy to clean and maintain

At SolSmile Lounge, we prioritize both function and aesthetics — so your dentures look as natural as they feel.

Who Needs Complete Dentures?

You may be a candidate for full dentures if you:

• Have lost most or all of your teeth in one or both arches
• Are not a candidate for dental implants due to bone loss or health conditions
• Are looking for a non-surgical, cost-effective solution
• Want a removable, full -mouth restoration that brings back your ability to smile, eat, and speak with ease

At SolSmile Lounge, we’ll carefully assess your oral health and goals to determine whether complete dentures are the best solution for you — or if an implant-supported option may offer more stability.

What’s the Process Like?

Getting complete dentures at SolSmile Lounge typically involves several steps over a few visits to ensure optimal comfort, function, and aesthetics:

  1. Consultation & Evaluation
We begin with a comprehensive exam and digital imaging to understand your needs, evaluate your gums and jaw structure, and discuss your goals.

  2. Impressions & Measurements

We take detailed impressions and measurements to create dentures that fit your mouth precisely. We also record your bite and jaw movements to ensure proper alignment.

3. Try-In & Customization
Before the final set is made, you’ll try on a wax model of your dentures to check comfort, fit, and esthetics. This is your opportunity to give feedback on how your new smile will look and feel.

4. Final Placement
Once everything is just right, we deliver your completed dentures. We’ll make sure the fit is secure and comfortable, and we’ll guide you through how to wear and care for them at home.

How to Care for Your Dentures

With proper care, your dentures can last many years and keep you smiling with confidence:

• Remove dentures at night and soak them in denture solution
• Clean them daily with a soft brush and non-abrasive cleaner
• Brush your gums and tongue to maintain good oral hygiene
• Handle with care
• Remove and rinse them after eating
• Clean your gums, tongue, and palate daily
• See us for regular checkups and adjustments

Your mouth will change over time, and we’ll be here to reline or refit your dentures as needed to keep your comfort and function at their best.
