Dentures in Mthatha – Natural-Looking Full & Partial Dentures
At Every Smile Dentistry in Mthatha, we offer high-quality dentures to help patients replace missing teeth and regain their smile, confidence, and ability to eat and speak comfortably.Â
Dentures are removable prosthetic devices custom-made to fit your mouth, providing a natural-looking and functional solution for tooth loss.Â
Whether you need full dentures for all your teeth or partial dentures for a few missing teeth, our team ensures a comfortable fit and a beautiful, natural appearance.
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are prosthetic devices used to replace missing teeth. They come in several types, depending on the number of teeth being replaced:
- Full Dentures: These are used when all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw (or both) are missing. Full dentures rest directly on the gums.
- Partial Dentures: For patients missing only a few teeth, partial dentures are anchored to the remaining natural teeth with metal clasps or precision attachments.
- Implant-Supported Dentures: These dentures are attached to dental implants for added stability, making them a great option for patients who want a secure, fixed solution.

The Denture Process: What to Expect
Here’s a step-by-step overview of the denture process at Every Smile Dentistry:
- Initial Consultation and Evaluation: During your first visit, we evaluate your oral health, discuss your tooth replacement goals, and determine the best type of denture for your needs. X-rays or impressions may be taken to assess the jawbone and gum structure.
- Impressions and Measurements: We take precise impressions of your gums and any remaining teeth to create a custom fit. These impressions are sent to a dental lab, where your dentures will be crafted.
- Fitting and Adjustments: Once your dentures are ready, we’ll schedule a fitting appointment. We make any necessary adjustments to ensure comfort and stability, so your dentures feel natural and fit securely.
- Follow-Up and Adjustments: After you begin wearing your dentures, follow-up visits may be needed to fine-tune the fit and address any initial discomfort. Our team is here to ensure you’re completely comfortable with your new dentures.
Benefits of Dentures
- Restores Functionality: Dentures allow you to eat and speak normally, restoring essential functions compromised by tooth loss.
- Improves Appearance: Modern dentures are made to look like natural teeth, enhancing the aesthetics of your smile and facial structure.
- Boosts Confidence: Dentures restore your smile, helping you feel confident in social and professional settings.
- Supports Oral Health: Dentures prevent further shifting of remaining teeth and reduce strain on the jaw and facial muscles.
How to Care for Your Dentures
To maintain the quality and longevity of your dentures, follow these care tips:
- Clean Daily: Brush your dentures with a denture brush and mild soap or denture cleaner daily to remove food particles and plaque.
- Soak Overnight: Keep your dentures in a denture solution or water overnight to retain moisture and shape.
- Rinse After Meals: Rinse your dentures after eating to prevent food buildup.
- Handle Carefully: Handle your dentures gently to avoid damage, especially when cleaning or removing them.

Frequently Asked Questions Answered
1. How long do dentures last?
With proper care, dentures typically last 5-10 years. Regular dental visits allow us to check the fit and condition of your dentures, as they may need relining or replacement over time.
2. Are dentures comfortable to wear?
Dentures may feel unusual at first, but most patients adjust to them within a few weeks. Our custom-fit approach ensures maximum comfort, and adjustments can be made if any discomfort persists.
3. Can I sleep with my dentures in?
While you can sleep with dentures, it’s best to remove them at night to allow your gums to rest and to reduce bacteria buildup. Soaking them overnight also helps retain their shape.
4. Do dentures affect eating and speaking?
Initially, you may experience slight difficulty eating and speaking as you adjust, but with time, dentures restore normal function. Soft foods are recommended during the adjustment period.
5. How do I clean my dentures?
Dentures should be cleaned daily with a denture brush and denture cleaner. Avoid using regular toothpaste, which can be abrasive. Soak them overnight to keep them hydrated and maintain their shape.
6. What’s the difference between full and partial dentures?
Full dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw, while partial dentures replace only a few missing teeth, using clasps to anchor to existing teeth.
7. Can I get dentures if I still have some natural teeth?
Yes, partial dentures are designed to fit around your remaining natural teeth, providing a comfortable and functional solution for partial tooth loss.
8. Are dentures covered by dental insurance?
Many dental insurance plans cover part of the cost of dentures, especially if they are deemed medically necessary. We can help you understand your insurance coverage during your consultation.
