What Are Dentures?
Dentures are custom-made, removable replacements for missing teeth and the gum tissue around them. A complete denture replaces all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw, while a partial denture fills the gaps when some natural teeth remain. Dentures help a person chew, speak clearly and keep the natural shape of the face after tooth loss.
Most dentures have a gum-coloured base made from medical-grade acrylic, with acrylic or composite teeth set into it. Some partial dentures use a thin metal framework or a flexible nylon base instead. The teeth are chosen to suit the person’s face in shade, shape and size.
Dentures in Pune at Bespoke Dental Clinic are made from detailed impressions and bite records of each mouth. With daily cleaning and regular check-ups, a denture commonly lasts 5 to 10 years, although it usually needs relining in between as the gums and jawbone slowly change shape.
When Dentures May Be Needed
A dentist may suggest dentures in situations such as these:
Several teeth missing
Gaps in one or both jaws that make chewing on one side harder.
All teeth missing in a jaw
No natural teeth left in the upper or lower jaw, or both.
Teeth planned for removal
Teeth that cannot be saved and will need a replacement once removed.
A loose or worn old denture
An existing denture that rocks, rubs or has worn-down teeth.
Difficulty chewing or speaking
Trouble biting food or saying some words clearly because of missing teeth.
Implants not suited for now
When health, bone levels or budget make implants unsuitable at present.
Only a dental examination can confirm whether dentures, a bridge or implants suit a particular mouth.
Types of Dentures
The right type depends on how many teeth are missing, the health of the remaining teeth and gums, and the patient’s preferences.
Complete dentures
A full set for one jaw, made once the gums have healed after extractions.
Immediate dentures
Made in advance and fitted on the day teeth are removed, then relined as the gums heal.
Acrylic partial dentures
A gum-coloured acrylic base with wire clasps that hold onto nearby teeth.
Cast partial dentures
A thin metal framework that is lighter and more rigid than an acrylic base.
Flexible dentures
A bendable nylon base with gum-coloured clasps instead of visible metal wires.
BPS dentures
Precision complete dentures made with a detailed impression and bite recording system.
Where the jawbone allows, a complete denture can also be held in place on two or more implants. More about this is on the dental implants page.
Custom Dentures at Bespoke Dental Clinic
Each denture at Bespoke Dental Clinic is planned around the patient’s own mouth rather than a standard size. The dentist examines the gums, jawbone and any remaining teeth, then explains which type of denture suits the case, how many visits it needs and what it costs.
The dentist records the shape of the gums and the way the jaws meet, chooses teeth that suit the face, and checks the appearance and speech with a trial denture before the final one is made. After fitting, short review visits are used to ease any sore spots and fine-tune the bite.
Key highlights- Detailed impressions and bite records
- Wax try-in before the final denture is processed
- Tooth shade, shape and size chosen to suit the face
- Review and adjustment visits after fitting
- Relining and repair of existing dentures
Getting Dentures: Step by Step
Examination and X-ray
The dentist checks the gums, jawbone and any remaining teeth, takes an X-ray if needed and explains the denture options and fee.
First impressions
Initial impressions of the gums are taken to make a custom tray that fits the mouth closely.
Final impressions and bite record
Detailed impressions are taken with the custom tray, and the way the jaws meet and the height of the bite are recorded.
Teeth selection and wax try-in
A trial denture with the chosen teeth set in wax lets the patient and dentist check the look, bite and speech before the final denture is made.
Fitting
The finished denture is fitted, pressure spots are checked and the bite is adjusted. Instructions on wearing and cleaning are given.
Review visits
Short follow-up visits, usually after a day or two and again after about a week, ease any sore spots as the mouth settles.
Conventional complete dentures usually take 4 to 5 visits over about 3 to 4 weeks once the gums have healed. Partial dentures often need 2 to 4 visits. Immediate dentures are made before extractions and need relining after the gums heal, usually within 3 to 6 months.
Benefits of Dentures
Chewing
Replacing missing teeth makes it easier to bite and chew a wider range of food.
Clearer speech
Teeth and the denture base help form sounds that are harder to say with gaps.
Facial support
The denture supports the lips and cheeks, which can look sunken after tooth loss.
Keeps teeth in position
A partial denture fills gaps so neighbouring teeth are less likely to drift or tilt.
Removable for cleaning
Dentures can be taken out to clean them and the gums underneath.
No surgery needed
Conventional dentures replace teeth without implant surgery.

What Affects the Cost of Dentures in Pune
- The type of denture and the base material (acrylic, nylon or metal framework)
- Whether one jaw or both jaws need a denture
- How many teeth a partial denture replaces
- The type of teeth used and the impression system, such as BPS
- Any extractions, fillings or gum treatment needed first
- The number and type of implants, for implant-supported dentures
Note: These ranges are a general guide. Immediate dentures and cast metal partial dentures are quoted after the examination. The exact fee depends on each patient’s mouth and is explained before treatment starts.
Who May Be Suited to Dentures?
Dentures may be suggested for
- People missing several teeth or all teeth in a jaw
- Teeth that need removal and replacement
- People who prefer a removable option
- Cases where implant surgery is not suited at present
- Replacing an old denture that no longer fits
Another option may be suggested when
- One or two teeth are missing with strong teeth on either side, where a bridge or an implant may suit
- The patient wants fixed teeth and the jawbone allows dental implants
- A lower complete denture stays loose because of bone loss, where an implant-supported denture may help
- A remaining tooth can still be saved with a root canal or filling
- Many teeth need treatment together, as part of full mouth rehabilitation
Getting Used to New Dentures
New dentures take some time to feel natural. Most people settle in within a few weeks, and lower dentures usually take longer than upper ones because the tongue and cheeks move them more.
- The denture can feel bulky, and saliva may increase for a few days
- Some words may sound slightly different
- Soft food cut into small pieces is easier to chew
- Sore spots are common and are eased at the review visit
- Chewing on both sides at once keeps the denture steady
- Reading aloud helps speech settle
- Firmer foods can be added slowly
- A small adjustment may still be needed
- Most people eat and speak comfortably
- Gums keep changing after recent extractions
- Immediate dentures usually need relining in this period
- A check-up confirms the fit and bite
Pain that does not ease, a denture that keeps dropping or ulcers that last more than two weeks should be checked by the dentist.
Denture Relining, Repair and Replacement
The gums and jawbone slowly shrink after teeth are lost, so even a well-made denture needs maintenance over time.
Relining
A new layer is added to the fitting surface so the denture sits closely on the gums again. It is usually needed every 1 to 2 years, or sooner when the denture feels loose.
Repair
A cracked base, a broken tooth or a broken clasp can often be repaired by the dental lab. Home glues are not advised, as they can damage the denture and irritate the gums.
Replacement
A new denture is usually advised after 5 to 10 years, or earlier when the teeth are worn, the bite has changed or relining no longer gives a good fit.
Denture Care Tips
Clean the denture daily
Brush it with a soft denture brush and mild soap or denture cleaner, not regular toothpaste, which can scratch it.
Rinse after meals
Remove and rinse the denture under running water to clear food particles.
Rest the gums at night
Take the denture out overnight and keep it in water or a denture-soaking solution so it does not dry out.
Avoid hot water
Very hot water can warp an acrylic denture and change its fit.
Handle it over a soft surface
Clean the denture over a folded towel or a basin of water in case it slips.
Keep up check-ups
A yearly check lets the dentist look at the gums, the fit and any remaining teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dentures
How much do dentures cost in Pune?
At Bespoke Dental Clinic, dentures cost in Pune ranges from ₹5,000 to ₹15,000 for an acrylic partial denture, ₹15,000 to ₹30,000 per arch for complete dentures, ₹15,000 to ₹25,000 for flexible dentures and ₹20,000 to ₹50,000 per arch for BPS dentures. Implant-supported dentures cost ₹50,000 to ₹2,00,000 or more. The exact fee is explained after the examination.
What is the cost of a full set of dentures in Pune?
A full set of conventional complete dentures for both the upper and lower jaw costs ₹30,000 to ₹60,000 at Bespoke Dental Clinic in Pune. A full set of BPS dentures costs more, as each arch ranges from ₹20,000 to ₹50,000. The cost of dentures in Pune also depends on any extractions or treatment needed first.
How long does it take to make dentures?
Conventional complete dentures usually take 4 to 5 visits over about 3 to 4 weeks, once the gums have healed after any extractions. Partial dentures often need 2 to 4 visits. Immediate dentures are prepared before teeth are removed, so the patient has teeth on the same day, and are relined after the gums heal.
Do new dentures hurt?
New dentures can cause mild soreness or a few sore spots in the first days, as the gums get used to the pressure. These are usually eased by adjusting the denture at a short review visit. Pain that does not settle, or an ulcer that lasts more than two weeks, should be checked by the dentist.
How long do dentures last?
Dentures commonly last 5 to 10 years. Over time the gums and jawbone change shape and the teeth wear down, so most dentures need relining every 1 to 2 years and replacement after several years. Daily cleaning and yearly check-ups help a denture last longer.
Can a person sleep with dentures in?
Dentures are usually taken out at night so the gums can rest and stay healthy. Wearing them all night can increase the risk of gum soreness and fungal infection under the denture. Overnight, the denture is kept in water or a denture-soaking solution so it does not dry out or change shape.
Can a person eat normally with dentures?
Most people return to a near-normal diet after a few weeks. At first, soft food cut into small pieces and chewed on both sides is easiest. Very hard or sticky foods, such as chikki or hard nuts, can loosen or damage a denture and should be eaten with care.
What are BPS dentures?
BPS (Biofunctional Prosthetic System) dentures are precision complete dentures made with a detailed impression technique, an accurate record of how the jaws move and higher-grade denture teeth. They are planned to fit closely and look natural. At Bespoke Dental Clinic in Pune, BPS dentures cost ₹20,000 to ₹50,000 per arch.
What are flexible dentures?
Flexible dentures are partial dentures made from a bendable nylon material, with gum-coloured clasps instead of metal wires. They are lighter and less visible than many acrylic partial dentures, though they are harder to adjust or reline. At Bespoke Dental Clinic, flexible dentures cost ₹15,000 to ₹25,000.
How are dentures different from dental implants?
Dentures are removable and rest on the gums, while dental implants are fixed into the jawbone and support crowns, bridges or a denture. Dentures cost less and need no surgery, while implants feel more stable and help preserve the jawbone. The dentist explains which suits a patient after checking the bone and general health.
Is a partial denture or a bridge better for missing teeth?
A bridge is fixed in place and is often suggested for one or two missing teeth with strong teeth on either side, which are prepared to hold it. A partial denture is removable, can replace several gaps at once and needs little or no shaping of other teeth. The choice depends on the number and position of missing teeth.
How should dentures be cleaned?
Dentures should be brushed every day with a soft denture brush and mild soap or denture cleaner, rinsed after meals and soaked overnight. Regular toothpaste and very hot water should be avoided, as they can scratch or warp the denture. The gums, tongue and any remaining teeth should also be cleaned daily.
How often do dentures need relining?
Most dentures need relining every 1 to 2 years, as the gums and jawbone slowly shrink and the fit becomes looser. Immediate dentures usually need relining within 3 to 6 months of extractions. A denture that rocks, rubs or traps food may need relining sooner.
Can a broken denture be repaired?
Yes, a cracked base, a broken or lost tooth and a broken clasp can often be repaired by the dental lab, sometimes within a day or two. Home glues are not advised, as they can damage the denture and irritate the gums. If a denture breaks often or fits poorly, a new denture may be advised.
