Yedam Smart Dental Clinic's
Denture Program

Depending on the number of remaining teeth
and the condition of the alveolar bone,
the appropriate type of denture and fabrication
method will vary.
At Yedam Smart Dental Clinic,
after thorough consultation,
we guide
patients to the most suitable method for them.

Partial Dentures
01

Partial Dentures

This type of denture is applied when some teeth remain. Because it is fixed to the remaining natural teeth,
it is more stable than a complete denture, and
its removable nature makes hygiene management convenient. Since the design varies depending on the condition and position of the remaining teeth,
precise impression taking is crucial.

Complete Denture
02

Complete Denture

This type of denture is applied when no teeth remain. Since it is fixed by adhesion to the gums,
the accuracy of the gum impression determines the fit and comfort of the denture. An adjustment period is usually required, and through several adjustments,
we ensure a comfortable fit.

#Maxillary Complete Denture #Mandibular Complete Denture #Simultaneous Fabrication of Maxillary and Mandibular Dentures
Implant-Supported Dentures
03

Implant-Supported Dentures

This method involves implants placed in the jawbone
to secure the denture. Compared to conventional dentures, shaking is significantly reduced, and
chewing power is more stably transmitted, greatly reducing discomfort during meals. It is particularly effective for those who found their previous complete dentures unstable, and the cost burden is lower
than full mouth implants.

Reline (Denture Repair)

If your existing denture has become loose, it is not always necessary to make a new one.
The alveolar bone changes gradually over time,
and in many cases, the inside of the existing denture
can be reinforced through a reline procedure to refit it. With an in-house dental laboratory, we can process it
on the same day or quickly.

Treatment Process

From initial consultation to
post-wearing management,
Yedam Smart Dental Clinic's
denture treatment process involves four stages.

STEP 1

Oral Examination & Consultation

We evaluate the number of remaining teeth
and the condition of the jawbone
to determine which type of denture is
most suitable for you.

STEP 2

Precise Impressions & Design

We take precise impressions of your gum
shape and create a customized design for
a comfortable fit.

STEP 3

Fabrication & Try-In

After precise fabrication in our in-house
dental laboratory,
the denture is tried in the
mouth to evaluate its shape
and occlusion.

STEP 4

Final Placement & Regular Care

After a final evaluation of comfort
and bite alignment, the denture is placed.
Through regular checkups afterward, we
continue to
monitor changes in your gums
and any discomfort
you may experience.

Frequently Asked
Questions

  • Q

    What criteria differentiate partial dentures from complete dentures?

    A

    Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. They are anchored to the existing natural teeth, making them relatively more stable than complete dentures. Complete dentures, on the other hand, are used when no teeth remain and are held in place solely by suction with the gums. Therefore, the precision of the gum impression significantly affects the comfort of complete dentures. The appropriate type of denture is determined by comprehensively assessing the number and position of remaining teeth and the condition of the alveolar bone. If there are an ambiguous number of remaining teeth, a consultation may be needed to decide whether to extract them and proceed with complete dentures or maintain them with partial dentures.

  • Q

    How long does it take to adjust to new dentures?

    A

    When first wearing dentures, it's common to experience a foreign body sensation, awkwardness in speech, and changes in chewing sensation. This is a natural process of adapting to a new oral environment. The adjustment period varies depending on the type of denture. Partial dentures, which are anchored to remaining teeth, tend to have a faster adjustment period, while complete dentures, which rely solely on gum suction, generally require a longer adjustment period. In the initial stages of wearing, there may be areas of looseness or pressure, necessitating several adjustment sessions. Through this process, you will gradually achieve comfortable wear.

  • Q

    My dentures keep getting loose. Do I need new ones?

    A

    Loose dentures don't always mean you need a new set. Over time, the jawbone gradually resorbs and changes shape. In many cases, we can adjust your existing dentures to fit your gums again by relining the inner surface. However, if the bone changes are significant or the dentures themselves are severely damaged, relining might not be sufficient, and new dentures may be necessary. We will determine whether relining is possible or if new dentures are needed after diagnosing the current condition of your dentures and the extent of your gum changes.

  • Q

    How do implant-supported dentures differ from full-mouth implant procedures?

    A

    A full-mouth implant procedure involves replacing all missing teeth with implants, whereas implant-supported dentures use a small number of implants to support and stabilize existing dentures. This significantly reduces movement and provides more stable chewing force compared to conventional complete dentures that rely solely on gum suction. However, it is different from replacing every tooth with an implant.
