What Are Dentures?
Dentures are custom-made removable appliances designed to replace missing teeth and support the surrounding oral tissues. They are created to resemble natural teeth and gums, helping restore both appearance and function.
Depending on how many teeth are missing, dentures may replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw or only a portion of the smile. Dr. Esha Dhanju will assess your oral health and explain which denture option best suits your needs. Dentures can be removed for daily cleaning, making them easier to maintain with proper care.

Getting dentures involves several steps to ensure a proper fit and comfortable result. At Richmond Community Dentist, each stage is carefully planned and explained.
1. Examination and Assessment
Your first visit includes a complete dental exam to evaluate your gums, remaining teeth, and jawbone. This helps determine the most suitable denture option for your needs.
2. Impressions and Planning
Impressions of your mouth are taken to create a model for your dentures. During this stage, we discuss denture type, fit, and expectations.
3. Fitting and adjustments
You will try a test denture to evaluate comfort, bite, and appearance. Adjustments are made to reduce pressure points and improve fit.
