Dentures: full and partial sets
Not everyone missing teeth wants or can afford implants. Dentures are the traditional, removable option and the search for them is distinct from someone researching implant surgery: it's about getting fitted for a full set, a partial set to fill gaps, or repairing an existing denture that's cracked or loose.
- Full dentures after losing all natural teeth in the upper or lower jaw
- Partial dentures to fill in a few missing teeth without touching the rest
- Replacing an old, worn or ill-fitting denture
- Repairing a cracked or broken denture
Getting dentures usually involves a few visits: taking impressions, trying a fitted model, and adjusting the final set once it's made so it sits comfortably and looks natural.
What it costs
Partial dentures covering a few teeth cost less than a full set replacing an entire arch. Materials matter too: acrylic dentures are the more affordable option while a metal-framed partial denture tends to cost more but lasts longer. Repairs to an existing denture are usually far cheaper than a new set.

FAQ
- How long does it take to get dentures made?
- Expect several appointments over a few weeks: impressions, a fitting of the trial denture, and adjustments once the final set is ready.
- Can a broken denture be repaired instead of replaced?
- Often yes, a cracked denture or one with a broken tooth can usually be repaired at a clinic rather than remade from scratch, as long as the base isn't too damaged.
- What's the difference between dentures and implants for missing teeth?
- Dentures are removable and generally cost less upfront, while implants are fixed in the jaw and tend to feel more like natural teeth but involve surgery and a higher cost.
