Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth that restore your ability to chew, speak and smile with confidence. At Smile Architects in Amritsar, we make comfortable, natural-looking complete and partial dentures, as well as implant-supported dentures that stay firmly in place.
Whether you have lost a few teeth or all of them, modern dentures are lighter, better fitting and more lifelike than older designs. We take time to get the bite, shade and fit right so your dentures feel secure and look natural.
This page explains the types of dentures we offer, who they suit, how they are made, what they cost and how to look after them.
Types of Dentures
Complete (full) dentures replace all the teeth in an upper or lower jaw. Partial dentures fill the gaps where some natural teeth remain, clipping neatly around them.
Implant-supported dentures (overdentures) snap onto a small number of dental implants. They don't slip while eating or talking and feel much more secure than conventional dentures — a popular choice for the lower jaw.
Who Are Dentures For?
Dentures are a good option if you:
The Treatment Process
- 1
Consultation & assessment
We examine your gums and any remaining teeth and discuss which denture type best suits your needs and budget.
- 2
Impressions & measurements
Precise impressions and bite records are taken so your denture fits comfortably and bites correctly.
- 3
Try-in
A trial denture lets us check the look, fit and bite, and make adjustments before it is finalised.
- 4
Fitting
Your finished denture is fitted and fine-tuned, and we show you how to insert, remove and care for it.
- 5
Review & adjustments
We see you again to relieve any sore spots and make sure everything feels right.
Benefits
Caring for Your Dentures
- • Clean dentures daily with a denture brush — avoid hot water, which can warp them
- • Remove them at night to let your gums rest (unless advised otherwise)
- • Store them in water or a denture solution so they don't dry out
- • See us if they become loose or rub — a reline or adjustment usually fixes it

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get used to new dentures?
Most people adjust within a few weeks. Speech and eating improve quickly with practice, and we adjust any sore spots at your review visit.
Are implant-supported dentures better?
They are much more stable and don't slip while eating or talking, especially on the lower jaw. They cost more but are a worthwhile upgrade for many patients.
Can I eat normally with dentures?
Yes, though it takes a little practice. Start with softer foods and cut food into smaller pieces while you adjust.
How long do dentures last?
Typically 5–8 years. Over time your gums change shape, so a reline or replacement keeps the fit comfortable.
Should I remove my dentures at night?
Usually yes — it lets your gums rest and stay healthy. Keep them in water overnight so they don't dry out.
How much do dentures cost in Amritsar?
Partial dentures start from a few thousand rupees and complete dentures vary by material. We give you a clear quote after your assessment.
