| Denture Type | Price Range (₹) | Material | Stability & Comfort | Ideal Candidate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Complete Acrylic | ₹12,000 – ₹24,000 (both arches) | Heat-cure Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) | Moderate suction, requires adjustment | Budget-conscious elderly patients |

| Cast Partial Denture (Metal Framework) | ₹10,000 – ₹22,000 (per arch) | Cobalt-Chromium / Titanium mesh | Precise tooth-borne support, minimal gum pressure | Long-span missing teeth requiring high chewing load |

2. How Many Visits Does It Take to Make Dentures?
- Visit 1 (Primary Impressions): Preliminary alginate moulds capture the general boundary of the oral anatomy.
- Visit 2 (Border Molding & Final Impression): Custom trays with green stick compound record dynamic muscle movements and lip action for maximum peripheral suction seal.
- Visit 3 (Jaw Relation & Bite Registration): Wax rims establish correct jaw height (vertical dimension) and smile profile. Tooth shade and mould are selected with the patient.
- Visit 4 (Wax Try-In): Teeth set in wax are tried inside the mouth to verify speech, lip fullness, aesthetics, and bite alignment before lab polymerisation.
- Visit 5 (Final Delivery & Occlusal Balancing): Denture is delivered, minor pressure spots relieved, and patient given oral hygiene instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How long do complete dentures last?
Dentures typically last 5 to 8 years. Over time, the underlying jawbone naturally shrinks (resorbs), which causes the denture to become loose. Dentures can be relined or rebased every 2 to 3 years to maintain a tight suction fit.
Why do lower dentures feel loose compared to upper dentures?
Upper dentures benefit from the expansive surface area of the hard palate (roof of the mouth), which creates strong vacuum suction. Lower dentures must compete with constant tongue movement and have a much narrower horseshoe ridge, which is why BPS dentures or 2-implant ball retainers are strongly recommended for lower jaws.
Can senior citizens eat rotis and hard food with dentures?
Yes, but it requires an adaptation period of 3 to 6 weeks. Start with soft foods cut into small bites, chewing evenly on both sides simultaneously. Premium BPS dentures and implant-stabilized dentures offer significantly greater chewing force than standard acrylic plates.
