Dentures in Lahore
Dentures are a well-established way to replace missing teeth and restore chewing, speech and appearance. At Ayesha Dental Care in Wapda Town, Lahore, Dr. Ayesha Irfan Sethi provides custom-made full and partial dentures, fitted carefully for comfort and a natural look.
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are custom-made replacements for missing teeth, designed to match the shape of your mouth and the look of your smile. Depending on how many teeth you have lost, they can replace a few teeth or a full arch.
Types of Dentures We Offer
- Complete (full) dentures: for patients missing all teeth in the upper jaw, the lower jaw or both.
- Partial dentures: for replacing a few missing teeth while keeping your natural teeth.
- Removable and fixed options: chosen according to your comfort, how you chew and the condition of your mouth.
- Custom-fitted prosthetics: made to your measurements for comfort, stability and a natural appearance.
Complete vs Partial Dentures
| Complete dentures | Partial dentures | |
|---|---|---|
| Replace | All teeth in an arch | One or several missing teeth |
| Natural teeth | None remain in that arch | Remaining teeth help hold the denture |
| Usually needed when | All teeth in the arch are missing or cannot be saved | Some healthy teeth remain on either side of the gaps |
Dentures vs Bridges vs Implants
Dentures are one of several ways to replace teeth. A dental bridge is fixed in place and relies on the neighbouring teeth, while dental implants replace the tooth root and are fixed in the jawbone. Dentures are usually the most accessible option and can replace many teeth at once. We will explain which choice suits your teeth, gums, health and budget after an examination.
How Is a Denture Made?
- Consultation. We examine your mouth, discuss your goals and explain your options.
- Preparation. If any teeth need to be removed, this is planned first (see tooth extractions), and your gums are allowed to heal.
- Impressions and measurements. Records of your mouth and bite are taken so the denture fits properly.
- Try-in. You check the fit, shape and look before the denture is finished.
- Fitting and adjustment. The final denture is fitted, and we adjust it to make it comfortable.
Getting Used to Your Dentures
It takes time to get used to new dentures. Speech and chewing can feel different at first, and mild sore spots are common while your mouth adjusts. Start with soft foods, cut food into small pieces, and come back for a review so we can adjust the fit. Dentures need relining or replacing from time to time, because gums and bone change shape over the years.
Caring for Your Dentures
- Clean them every day with a soft brush and a denture cleaner, not toothpaste, which can scratch them
- Take removable dentures out at night, as advised by your dentist, and keep them in water or a denture solution
- Handle them over a folded towel or a bowl of water to avoid breakage if you drop them
- Keep brushing your gums, tongue and any natural teeth
- Keep your regular check-ups so the fit and your mouth can be checked

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get dentures?
It usually takes several visits for measurements, a try-in and the final fitting. If teeth need to be removed first, healing time is added. We will give you an estimate after your examination.
Will my dentures look natural?
Dentures are made to suit your face and smile, and you get to check the shape and look at the try-in stage, before they are finished.
Can I eat normally with dentures?
Most people return to a normal diet with time. Start with soft foods and build up gradually. Very hard or sticky foods can still be harder to manage.
Do dentures need replacing?
Over time the gums and jawbone change, so dentures may need adjusting, relining or replacing to keep a good fit. Regular check-ups help us spot this early.
Are there alternatives to removable dentures?
Yes. Bridges and implants are options in some cases, and implants can also be used to help hold dentures in place. We will explain what suits you.
