Dentures
Restore your complete smile with comfortable, custom-fitted dentures designed for a natural appearance and reliable function.
Dentures are removable dental prosthetics designed to replace missing teeth and restore your smile, chewing ability, and facial aesthetics. At The Tooth Stop, Dr. P Meghana offers both complete and partial dentures, crafted from high-quality materials to provide a comfortable, natural-looking solution for patients who have lost multiple teeth.
Complete dentures are used when all teeth in an arch (upper, lower, or both) are missing. They rest on the gum tissue and are held in place through suction, adhesive, or implant retention. Partial dentures are designed for patients who still have some natural teeth remaining. They use a combination of clasps and a metal or acrylic framework to fill in the gaps while blending with your existing teeth.
Modern dentures have come a long way in terms of aesthetics and comfort. At The Tooth Stop, we take precise impressions and carefully select tooth shapes, sizes, and colors that complement your facial features and skin tone. The result is a denture that looks natural and feels comfortable. For patients seeking enhanced stability, implant-supported dentures offer a secure fit that eliminates the worry of slipping or shifting.
Adjusting to new dentures takes a little patience, but our team is here to support you every step of the way. We schedule follow-up visits to make any necessary adjustments and ensure your dentures fit properly. With proper care and regular checkups, your dentures will continue to serve you well for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get used to new dentures?
Most patients need about two to four weeks to adjust to new dentures. During this period, you may experience minor soreness and difficulty with eating and speaking, which gradually improves as your mouth adapts. Our team at The Tooth Stop will schedule follow-up visits to ensure your comfort.
How do I care for my dentures?
Remove and rinse your dentures after eating, and brush them daily with a soft denture brush and non-abrasive cleanser. Soak them overnight in a denture solution to keep them clean and moist. Never use hot water, as it can warp the material.
Do dentures need to be replaced?
Dentures typically need to be relined or replaced every 5 to 8 years as your jawbone and gums change shape over time. Regular dental visits at The Tooth Stop allow Dr. P Meghana to monitor the fit and condition of your dentures and recommend adjustments or replacements as needed.
