Modern dentures are a far cry from the ill-fitting appliances of the past
Types of Dentures we offer
The right denture depends on how many natural teeth remain, their health, and your bone structure. Dr. Sadineni assesses all of this at your consultation.
Complete (full) denture
Replaces an entire arch — upper, lower, or both — when all natural teeth are missing or need to be extracted. Custom-fabricated to fit the contours of your gum and bone for a stable, natural-looking result.
- Upper arch, lower arch, or both
- Acrylic base with porcelain or resin teeth
- Removable — cleaned outside the mouth
- Can be implant-supported for added stability
Partial denture
Replaces multiple missing teeth when healthy natural teeth remain. Attaches to existing teeth with clasps or precision attachments, filling gaps and preventing remaining teeth from shifting.
- Fills one or multiple gaps in an arch
- Metal framework or flexible resin base
- Removable — easy to clean and adjust
- Prevents remaining teeth from drifting
OUR CHOICE FOR REPLACING TEETH : IMPLANT SUPPORTED DENTURES- the upgrade worth knowing about
Traditional dentures rest on the gum and can shift, slip, or require adhesive. Implant-supported dentures snap onto titanium implants placed in the jaw, giving you a denture that stays firmly in place while eating, speaking, and laughing. They also stimulate the jawbone — preventing the bone loss that makes conventional dentures fit less well over time.
- No slipping or adhesive
- Preserves jawbone
- Eat confidently
- Anchored by 2–4 implants
- Removable for cleaning

Common questions about Dentures in Dublin
How long does it take to adjust to dentures?
Most patients adjust within 4–8 weeks. Speech and eating will feel different at first — this improves as the muscles of the lips, cheeks, and tongue adapt. Mild soreness during the first few weeks is common and resolves with minor adjustments at follow-up visits.
How long do dentures last?
Well-maintained conventional dentures typically last 5–8 years. Over time, bone and gum ridges change shape, causing dentures to fit less securely — regular check-ups allow timely relining before discomfort develops. Implant-retained dentures last 10–15+ years.
Can I sleep in my dentures?
It is generally recommended to remove dentures at night to allow gum tissue to rest and recover. Continuous wear overnight is associated with increased gum irritation and oral infection risk. Dr. Sadineni will provide specific guidance at your fitting appointment.
What is an immediate denture?
An immediate denture is fabricated before your remaining teeth are extracted and placed the same day as extraction — so you are never without teeth during healing. Because gum and bone change shape as they heal, an immediate denture typically requires relining or replacement with a conventional denture after 6–12 months.
Does insurance cover dentures?
Most major dental insurance plans cover a significant portion of full and partial dentures — typically 50–70% after the deductible. Our team verifies your specific plan benefits before treatment begins and presents your exact out-of-pocket cost upfront. Flexible financing is available for any remaining balance.
Are implant-retained dentures worth the extra investment?
For most patients, yes. They eliminate the instability, adhesive, and bone loss associated with conventional dentures and restore significantly greater chewing function. They often last twice as long, making the higher upfront cost more economical over a 10–15 year timeframe. Dr. Sadineni will help you assess whether the clinical and financial case is right for your situation
