Dentures in Vijayawada

Dentures are removable replacement teeth that restore chewing, speech and your smile when several or all teeth are missing, and they can also be clipped onto implants for a firmer fit. At GIA Clinics in Vijayawada, dentures are planned by Dr Sai Santosh at both our Gunadala and Gurunanak Colony clinics, with Dr Pravalika Mogili at Gurunanak Colony.

Is it right for you

Who it suits.

Your first visit answers this properly, with an examination and, where needed, a scan, before you commit to anything.

Usually suits you if

  • All teeth missing in one or both jaws
  • Several missing teeth where a partial denture can fill the gaps
  • An old denture that is loose, broken or uncomfortable
  • People who want a removable option, or a denture secured on implants

Tell us first if

  • Sore spots, ulcers or a dry mouth
  • Diabetes or other conditions that affect healing
  • A strong gag reflex
  • If you would like fixed teeth instead, as implants may suit

Questions

Common questions.

Answers to be checked by the doctor

How long does it take to get used to dentures?

Most people adjust within a few weeks. Speaking and eating feel easier with practice, starting with soft food cut small.

Can my denture be made more stable?

Yes. A denture can often be clipped onto two or more implants so it moves less while eating and speaking.

Should I sleep with my dentures in?

Usually no. Taking them out at night lets the gums rest. Clean them and keep them in water or a soaking solution.

How often do dentures need changing?

The gums and bone change shape over time, so dentures may need relining or replacing after some years. Regular check-ups help.
