What Are Dentures?
Dentures are custom-made artificial teeth set in a base that fits over your gums. They are removable, so you can take them out for cleaning, and they are made to fit your mouth and bite.

Dentures — FAQs
What are dentures?
Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth and the surrounding gum tissue. They can replace all the teeth in a jaw or only some of them.
When might dentures be recommended?
Dentures may be considered when several or all teeth are missing, or when remaining teeth cannot be saved. The dentist will confirm whether dentures suit you after examining you.
What is the difference between full and partial dentures?
Full dentures replace all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw. Partial dentures replace some missing teeth and are held in place around your remaining natural teeth.
How long does it take to get used to dentures?
It is normal for new dentures to feel strange at first. Speaking and eating usually become easier with practice, and the dentist can make adjustments if anything feels uncomfortable.
How much do dentures cost in Dubai?
The cost depends on the type of denture, the materials used, how many teeth are being replaced and whether any treatment is needed first. Contact us by WhatsApp or phone to ask about the current price.
How should I clean my dentures?
Remove and clean your dentures daily using a soft brush and a denture cleaner, rinse them after eating, and follow the care advice your dentist gives you.
What are the alternatives to dentures?
Depending on your situation, a dental bridge or other tooth replacement options may be suitable. The dentist can explain your options after an examination.
How long do dentures last?
It depends on the materials, how well they are cared for and how your mouth changes over time. Dentures often need adjusting, relining or replacing after some years — the dentist can check the fit at your visits and tell you when attention is needed.
Can I eat and speak normally with dentures?
Most people adjust with practice. Starting with softer foods and smaller bites helps, and reading aloud can help speech feel natural again. If your dentures slip or feel uncomfortable, contact the clinic — an adjustment can often help.
Are dentures covered by dental insurance in Dubai?
It depends on your policy. Some plans include dentures, others apply limits or exclude them. Send us your insurance details on WhatsApp before your visit and we'll check what your plan can be used for.
