“I have already been to Azure twice in the 2 weeks it has been open and I've been super impressed. My first appointment was a general check up and clean with Maheer which was super easy, he was gentle and caused me no discomfort, I got to just lay back and enjoy Netflix on the roof mounted TV (nice touch). We got chatting at the end about some staining on my teeth and decided to book in a whitening session which I went back for today. Another good experience with Maheer, he was very attentive and the knowledge he shared with his dental assistant was fantastic. Great team with a really positive atmosphere. Highly recommend!” Read More

Frequently Asked Questions
Here, you’ll find answers to popular questions about dentures, providing key information to make the right choice for your needs.
What is the process for getting dentures?
Dentures are a common and effective option for replacing multiple teeth. They are custom-made, removable appliances designed to mimic natural teeth, providing a comfortable way to restore chewing and speaking abilities.
The process of getting dentures involves several stages:
- Initial Consultation:
During this consultation, your dentist will evaluate your oral health, go through your medical history, and discuss your options for dentures. - Teeth Extraction (If Needed):
If you have any damaged or decayed teeth that cannot be preserved, extractions may be necessary before fitting dentures. - Oral Impressions and Bite Registration:
If you are suitable for dentures, your dentist will take detailed impressions of your gums and any remaining teeth. These impressions are important as they serve as the blueprint for creating natural-looking dentures that will fit securely and comfortably. Upper and lower arch impressions are taken to have a record of your dentition. Your dentist will measure your bite and jaw alignment. - Wax Try-In:
A wax model with replacement teeth is created for a try-in session, allowing assessment of fit and appearance. Adjustments in the trial denture may be done during this time. - Final Denture Fabrication:
After the try-in session and any necessary modifications, the final dentures are created in the dental laboratory. - Fitting and Installation:
Once the final dentures are ready, you’ll return to your dentist for fitting. Trimming and adjustments are done if necessary. Your dentist will confirm that the dentures fit properly and comfortably, checking for any pressure points or areas of discomfort before final installation. - Follow-up Appointments:
Adjusting to your new prosthesis is expected during the first week of wearing your dentures. If any area is causing continuous discomfort, your dentist will trim and polish the area to make the dentures more comfortable during function.
If you’re considering dentures in Inglewood, book a consultation with us today. Our comprehensive range of treatments offers comfort, functionality, and a restored smile, helping you regain confidence in your daily life.
How much do dentures cost?
The cost of dentures can vary widely depending on several factors:
- Type of Dentures:
Dentures can be full or partial, and each type has a different cost.- Full upper and lower conventional dentures: Up to $4,000
- Either an upper or lower denture (not both): Up to $2,200
- Partial dentures: Starts at $1,000
- Materials Used:
The materials used to fabricate dentures can significantly affect the cost. For example, dentures with porcelain teeth tend to be pricier but offer better durability and aesthetics. Meanwhile, more affordable dentures often use basic acrylic, which may not last as long or provide the same level of comfort. - Location of the Clinic:
The cost of dentures can vary based on the clinic’s location. For instance, dental care in metropolitan areas is often higher due to increased operational costs (rent, utilities, and staff salaries). - Dentist’s Experience:
More experienced professionals may charge higher for their services. This is because of their advanced skills and greater likelihood of delivering successful outcomes. - Pre-Treatment Procedures:
Additional treatments, such as tooth extractions, gum treatments, or bone grafting, may be required before getting dentures. These procedures are often not included in the base price and can add to the overall cost of dentures. - Follow-Up Care and Adjustments:
After receiving dentures, follow-up visits and adjustments are usually necessary to achieve a proper fit. Some clinics may include these in the overall cost. Others, however, may charge separately for each visit or adjustment, which can increase the total cost over time.
For information on the cost of our dentures, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to provide you with the details and guide you towards affordable dentures that fit your needs and budget.
Will dentures affect the way I eat or speak?
Getting dentures is a significant change, and many people wonder how it might impact daily activities like eating and speaking. Here’s a breakdown of the timeline and what to expect at each stage:
First Week:
- Eating:
You may experience discomfort and soreness as your mouth adjusts to the dentures, especially in the first three to five days. Stick to soft foods like soups and yoghurt. - Speaking:
Expect some difficulty pronouncing sounds and a slight lisp, along with increased saliva production during the initial adjustment period.
Second Week:
- Eating:
You can begin to introduce more solid foods into your diet, but chew slowly and cut food into smaller pieces. - Speaking:
Speech usually improves within one to two weeks, and practising speaking aloud can help overcome occasional challenges with certain sounds.
One Month:
- Eating:
You’ll feel more confident eating a variety of foods, and chewing will feel more natural. - Speaking:
Any minor issues with pronunciation will continue to improve, and you’ll likely experience fewer instances of denture slippage.
Three to Six Months:
- Eating:
Eating will feel almost as natural as it did before, with only minimal restrictions. For example, hard foods like nuts and sticky items like caramel can dislodge or damage your dentures, so avoid them. - Speaking:
Pronunciation will be back to normal, and you’ll speak confidently without worrying about discomfort or slippage.
How long do dentures last before they need to be replaced?
Dentures generally last for five to eight years before they need to be replaced. However, several factors can influence their lifespan, leading to either a shorter or longer duration of use:
- Material Quality:
The type of materials used in the construction of dentures plays a key role in how long they last. For example, more costly dentures made from higher-quality materials offer better durability and resistance to wear. In contrast, more affordable dentures made using lower-quality options may deteriorate faster, requiring more frequent replacements. - Daily Wear and Tear:
Regular exposure to hard, sticky, or abrasive foods, like nuts, caramel, and crunchy snacks, can lead to quicker wear on dentures. Careful use and proper cleaning can help extend their lifespan, keeping them functional for longer. - Oral Hygiene Practices:
Consistent cleaning helps prevent plaque buildup, staining, and bacterial growth, all of which can wear down the materials over time. Neglecting dental health can lead to faster deterioration. - Accidental Damage:
Dropping or mishandling dentures can result in cracks, chips, or warping. Even minor damage can affect their function and fit, sometimes leading to premature replacement.
How do I care for my dentures to keep them in good condition?
Caring for your dentures properly is essential to keeping them in good condition for as long as possible. With the right maintenance routine, you can preserve their fit, appearance, and function over time.
- Clean Daily:
Just like real teeth, dentures should be cleaned every day. Use a soft-bristle brush and a non-abrasive denture cleanser to remove food particles, plaque, and bacteria. Avoid using regular abrasive toothpaste, as it can be quite harsh and cause scratches. - Soak Overnight:
Dentures need to remain moist to maintain their shape. Place them in a denture-soaking solution or water overnight. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the material. - Rinse After Eating:
To maintain the aesthetics of your natural-looking dentures, rinse them under water after meals to remove any food particles. - Handle with Care:
When cleaning or removing your dentures, handle them carefully to avoid accidental damage. Place a soft towel or a basin filled with water underneath in case you drop them. - Visit Your Dentist Regularly:
Regular check-ups are important to maintain your dentures’ fit and condition. Your dentist can make adjustments if needed and help detect any issues early on.
What should I do if my dentures feel loose or uncomfortable?
If your dentures feel loose or uncomfortable, you must address the issue promptly to maintain effective tooth function and oral health by:
- Consult Your Dentist:
The first step is to schedule a visit with your dentist. Dentures may feel loose over time as your gums and jawbone naturally change. Your dentist can assess whether a reline, adjustment or replacement is needed to restore a comfortable fit. - Avoid DIY Adjustments:
While it may be tempting to adjust the dentures yourself, it’s important to seek professional care. Trying to do it yourself at home can damage them and worsen the fit, leading to more discomfort. - Use Denture Adhesives:
Denture adhesives can provide temporary relief if your dentures feel slightly loose. These adhesives help secure your dentures while you wait for your dental appointment. - Practise Proper Oral Care Habits:
Keeping your mouth and dentures clean is an essential preventative care measure for maintaining comfort. Loose dentures can cause irritation, and proper care will help reduce the risk of gum infections or sores.

How often will I need to visit the dentist after getting dentures?
After getting dentures, it’s recommended to see your dentist at least once every six months. However, some people may need more frequent visits depending on their individual needs. Here’s why these visits are important:
- Check Denture Fit:
As time passes, natural changes in your gums and jawbone can lead to discomfort or loosening of your dentures. During visits, your dentist will assess if a reline, adjustment or replacement is needed to improve fit and prevent irritation. - Monitor Oral Health:
Dentures still require good oral care. Regular check-ups allow your dentist to keep track of the health of your gums, tongue, and any remaining natural teeth. This proactive approach helps prevent dental health issues like infections or gum disease. - Professional Cleaning:
Even with proper at-home dental care, dentures can accumulate plaque and stains. Dentists offer professional cleanings to keep your dentures fresh and maintain oral hygiene, contributing to longer-lasting dentures. - Detect Early Issues:
Routine visits allow your dentist to identify any potential problems early, such as sores or infections, caused by ill-fitting dentures. Early detection can prevent more severe issues down the road.
During your denture check-ups at our clinic, our team will carefully assess the fit and comfort of your dentures. At Azure Dental Inglewood, we are committed to quality care. We focus on keeping your dentures functional while supporting your overall oral health.
Can I sleep with my dentures in?
While it is technically possible to sleep with your dentures in, many dental professionals advise against it. Here are the key reasons why removing your dentures before bed is important:
- Gum Health:
Your gums need time to rest and recover from the pressure of wearing dentures all day. Removing dentures at night allows your mouth’s soft tissues to rest and promotes circulation, preventing irritation or soreness. - Jawbone Health:
Wearing dentures constantly, including while sleeping, can put continuous pressure on the jawbone, accelerating bone resorption. This gradual loss of bone density can change the shape of your jaw, leading to poorly fitting dentures over time. Taking dentures out at night eases tension on the jawbone and supports improved long-term jawbone health. - Prevent Infections:
Wearing dentures 24/7 can raise the risk of oral infections. Denture stomatitis, in particular, is caused by fungal growth from trapped bacteria and moisture. By sleeping without dentures, you allow your mouth to stay cleaner, reducing the risk of these infections. - Denture Care:
Proper cleaning and soaking each night are essential to maintaining your natural-looking dentures. Using a recommended denture-soaking solution eliminates bacteria and plaque, extending their lifespan while supporting their look and function.
