Dentures – Everything You Need to Know About Tooth Replacement

Large tooth gaps or completely toothless jaws can be extremely distressing for affected patients, often leading them to immediately consider various forms of dental restoration.

While dental implants are a suitable option for many, they are not ideal for everyone. Implant-supported dentures, for example, cannot be placed in cases of severe bone loss.

In addition to implants, there are many different types of dentures. Which option is suitable for you depends on the condition of your gums, the remaining natural teeth, your individual circumstances, as well as your expectations regarding aesthetics and comfort.

Here, you will learn what dentures are, which types exist, who they are suitable for, which costs to expect, and the benefits they offer.

What Is a Denture ?

Dentures — often referred to as “false teeth” or “third teeth” — allow patients to replace one or several missing teeth. They are usually removable, meaning that unlike implants or bridges, you can take them out and put them back in at any time.

The purpose of dentures is to restore the patient’s ability to speak, bite and chew, close visible gaps, and meet aesthetic expectations. Dentures are generally divided into two categories: partial dentures and full dentures.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are attached to existing natural teeth. They replace one or several neighbouring missing teeth.

Full Dentures

Full dentures are used when few or no natural teeth remain in the upper or lower jaw. Completely toothless jaws are a common reason to choose a full denture, which restores an entire arch of teeth.

Unlike implants, dentures do not require artificial tooth roots, meaning no invasive surgery is needed. There is no bone augmentation required, and denture wearers can easily remove and clean their prosthesis under running water.

What Types of Dentures Exist ?

Here is an overview of the different denture types:
Type Suitable For Characteristics
Partial denture Several missing teeth Removable denture with clasps or bars
Full denture Toothless upper/lower jaw Full prosthesis resting on the gums
Telescopic denture Remaining teeth or implants Combines fixed and removable elements
Interim denture Temporary solution during treatment Simple and cost-effective
Of course, these prices are not final. In actuality, the final pricing may vary depending on your specific situation, including your current bone quality, the material you chose for the implants, and the overall case complexity. Regardless, the cost savings in Turkey are substantial while maintaining high quality dental care across the board.

Who Is a Denture Suitable For?

Tooth loss or complete toothlessness is often age-related. Advanced tooth decay or inflammation of the supporting structures — such as periodontitis — may also make tooth extraction necessary. In younger individuals, tooth loss is often the result of accidents. Missing teeth can make chewing, biting, and speaking difficult. Gaps may also cause misalignment of the remaining teeth and lead to jaw discomfort. Beyond the physical effects, visible gaps often present a significant aesthetic concern.

Since statutory health insurance does not fully cover implants and the costs can quickly add up, dentures offer a more affordable alternative. They are also suitable for patients for whom implants are medically not possible.

Dentures — whether partial or full — are particularly suitable for:

Severe tooth loss, such as toothless jaws or insufficient bone structure

Cases where no anchoring options for a dental bridge are available

Temporary solutions until implant placement is possible

Patients with fear of surgery or dental anxiety

Older adults who prefer easy cleaning and everyday usability
