Full or partial dentures in Turkey | Options & prices

What are dentures?

A denture is a removable dental prosthesis that replaces missing teeth, either partially or completely. Unlike implants, which are fixed in the bone, dentures are placed on the gums and can easily be removed for cleaning.

Partial dentures

They are designed to replace one or more missing teeth, whether they are side by side or scattered across the arch. They attach to the remaining natural teeth with metal or resin clasps, depending on the desired level of aesthetics.

This is an excellent option if you have several healthy teeth remaining.

Full dentures

Complete dentures, also known as total prostheses, are used when all the teeth in one or both jaws are missing. They are made entirely of medical-grade resin and sometimes have ceramic teeth for a more natural and long-lasting appearance.

A complete denture consists of three key elements:

• Artificial teeth: These imitate the shape, color, and function of real teeth.
• The false palate rests on the roof of the mouth, creating a suction effect that holds the prosthesis in place without the need for glue.
• The false gum: Fashioned from pink resin, it conforms to the shape of the jaw for optimum support and an aesthetically pleasing, natural-looking result.

The latest technologies used in our partner clinics in Turkey greatly enhance comfort and fit. However, the best option for you depends on your current dental situation, aesthetic expectations, lifestyle, and budget.

Our partner dentists in Turkey will help you identify the most suitable solution with a personalized assessment and advanced diagnostic technologies.

When should dentures be fitted?

Dentures are an appropriate solution in many situations, such as:

• Loss of one or more teeth, whether partial or total.
• The need for a temporary solution, e.g. after extraction, while waiting for healing, before fitting a permanent prosthesis or implant.
• Advanced periodontal disease that compromises the stability of the remaining teeth.
• Medical or anatomical contraindications to dental implants that make placement impossible or risky.

In collaboration with our partner clinics in Turkey, we offer access to the best dentists and orthodontists. This coordination between specialists is essential for designing and fitting the dental prosthesis that best suits your needs.

Close coordination between the dental surgeon, orthodontist, and dental technician is essential for the success of your treatment. Together, they create a personalized plan that ensures comfort, functionality, and aesthetics.

How are dentures fitted in Turkey?

The process of inserting dentures in Turkey is clear and well-structured to guarantee your comfort and a tailor-made result:

1. Remote pre-diagnosis: Send us your dental photos or X-rays for an initial assessment by our experts without having to travel.
2. On-site consultation with impressions: During your appointment, the dentist will perform a thorough examination and take precise impressions to fabricate your custom prosthesis.
3. Denture fabrication: Your denture is designed in a specialized laboratory to perfectly match the natural shape and color of your teeth.
4. Trials and adjustments: Once the denture is ready, you will test it for comfort and stability.
5. Final fitting and postoperative recommendations: Your dentures are fitted, and you are provided with practical advice on how to care for and manage your new prosthesis. Personalized follow-up care is provided to support you in the weeks that follow.

In general, a stay in Turkey for denture placement lasts between 5 and 7 days. For patients in a hurry, some partner clinics offer accelerated fabrication services to minimize your time on site.

Benefits of removable dentures

Dentures are effective prosthetic solutions for compensating for tooth loss in the dental arch. In addition to their main function, they offer numerous benefits:

• Visible improvement in smile aesthetics, by filling in the spaces left by missing teeth.
• Better chewing, facilitating digestion, and daily eating comfort.
• Customized adaptation to the morphology of your mouth, ensuring good support and a natural feel.
• Generally lower cost than dental implants or bridges, making them an affordable option.
• Simple maintenance, with easy-to-clean dentures to ensure optimum hygiene.
• Comfortable to use, modern dentures are designed to be stable, non-irritating, and can be worn even at night.

How do you care for your dentures every day?

To make the most of your dentures and ensure their longevity, careful daily care is essential. Here are a few simple tips you can easily adopt:

• Maintain good oral hygiene by regularly cleaning your mouth and gums.
• Soak your dentures in an antiseptic mouthwash overnight to disinfect them and prevent bacteria growth.
• Gently brush your natural teeth, tongue, and gums with a moist brush.
• Thoroughly clean the inner and outer surfaces of the dentures, as well as the areas that touch your gums.
• Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water after brushing. Avoid hot water, as it could deform the dentures.
• When not in use, keep your dentures moist by storing them in water or a special bath to prevent them from drying out and losing their shape.
• Never attempt to adjust or repair your dentures yourself, as this could damage them.
• See your dentist regularly for checkups and professional adjustments, if necessary.
