Denture

Are you missing one or more teeth and looking for a suitable solution? At Dental Practice Apollo in Amsterdam, we are happy to help you find a dental prosthesis that complements your teeth and personal preferences. Whether it concerns a full set of dentures, a partial prosthesis, or snap-on dentures on implants, we will discuss together which options best suit your situation.

With personal attention and clear explanations, we guide you towards a dental prosthesis that allows you to eat, speak, and laugh comfortably again.

When is a dental prosthesis necessary?

A denture can be a good solution when you are missing one or more teeth. Missing teeth can make chewing and speaking more difficult and affect the appearance of your teeth. A denture can also provide a solution when your own teeth can no longer be saved.

At Dental Practice Apollo, we assess the condition of your teeth, your wishes, and the possibilities for restoration. Together, we discuss which solution suits you best, so that you can eat, talk, and laugh with confidence again.

What types of dentures are there?

There are various types of dentures, depending on how many teeth you are missing and the condition of your teeth. At Dental Practice Apollo, we discuss which solution best suits your situation and wishes.

Full dentures (artificial teeth)

A full set of dentures replaces all teeth in the upper, lower, or both jaws. The prosthesis rests on the gums and helps you to chew, speak, and laugh better again.

Partial denture

Are you missing only a few teeth? Then a partial denture can offer a solution. This removable device fills the gaps in your mouth, while your own teeth are preserved.

Snap-on dentures on implants

A snap-on denture is a removable dental prosthesis that implants is clicked into place. This ensures the prosthesis is more securely fixed and shifts less easily during eating or speaking. Apollo collaborates with an implantologist for the placement of the implants.

How does the fitting of a dental prosthesis work?

The fitting of a dental prosthesis begins with a thorough examination of your mouth and teeth. We discuss your wishes and determine which prosthesis best suits your situation. Next, we take impressions or scans of your jaw so that the dental prosthesis can be accurately custom-made.

During one or more fitting appointments, we check the fit, bite, and appearance of the prosthesis. Where necessary, we make adjustments for a comfortable result. As soon as your dentures are ready, we fit them and explain how to use and maintain them. This way, you know exactly what to expect from your new teeth.

Getting used to your new dentures

A new denture may feel a little unfamiliar at first. For example, you might have difficulty chewing or notice that certain words sound different. This is perfectly normal and usually decreases as you get used to your new dentures.

Start with soft foods, take small bites, and practice speaking slowly. Pressure points may also develop in the beginning. If these symptoms persist or your prosthesis does not fit comfortably, please contact us. Contact Contact Dental Practice Apollo. We check the fit and adjust the prosthesis where necessary, so that you can wear it as comfortably as possible.
