Missing teeth can affect more than just your ability to eat and speak — it can impact your confidence and overall quality of life. At WeSmile Dental, we offer a range of affordable dentures in Singapore to restore your smile, comfort, and functionality. Whether you need full, partial, flexible, or implant-supported dentures, our team tailors each solution to your lifestyle, dental needs, and budget.
Dentures are custom-made dental appliances used to replace missing teeth and restore both function and appearance. Whether you’ve lost a few teeth or a full set, dentures offer an effective and affordable solution to bring back your smile and improve your quality of life.
At WeSmile Dental in Singapore, we provide a wide range of dentures — including full dentures, partial dentures, flexible dentures, and implant-supported dentures — to suit your dental needs, lifestyle, and budget. Each set is carefully crafted to fit comfortably and blend naturally with your existing teeth.
Dentures not only improve your ability to chew and speak but also help maintain the structure of your face and prevent the shifting of remaining teeth. They are an ideal choice for patients seeking a non-invasive alternative to dental implants or bridges.
Dentures restore the look of a natural smile, helping you regain confidence in social and professional settings. They also support your lips and cheeks, preventing the sunken facial appearance that can occur after tooth loss.
More than just appearance, dentures improve your ability to chew a wider range of foods and make speech clearer. This means everyday activities such as enjoying meals or holding conversations feel more natural and comfortable.
By replacing missing teeth, dentures provide vital support to the facial muscles, helping to maintain muscle tone and reduce sagging. They also help slow down jawbone shrinkage, protecting your long-term oral health.
You may be a good candidate for dentures if you:
✅ Have one or more missing teeth affecting your ability to chew or speak
✅ Want a non-surgical and cost-effective tooth replacement solution
✅ Have sufficient gum and bone structure to support a denture
✅ Are looking for a removable or fixed alternative to dental implants
Our Dentists will assess your oral health and lifestyle to help determine the most suitable denture solution for you.
Dentures are artificial replacements for missing teeth, commonly made from acrylic, nylon, porcelain, or metal. They fall into two main categories: removable dentures and implant-supported dentures.
Removable dentures include full, partial, flexible, and immediate dentures. These rest on the gums and can be taken out daily. They are generally more affordable and non-invasive but may feel less stable and require periodic adjustments.
Implant-supported dentures offer enhanced stability by attaching to dental implants. Options include suction dentures (SEMCD), which improve fit through natural suction; implant overdentures, which snap onto implants and remain removable; and All-on-4 or All-on-6 systems, which are fixed in place by a dentist for a more secure, natural feel.
Your dentist will recommend the most suitable type based on your oral health, preferences, and long-term goals.

Each denture material offers unique pros and cons depending on your needs, lifestyle, and budget.
Here’s a quick overview of the advantages and disadvantages of the most common types:
Advantages and Disadvantages of Denture Materials
Denture Material Type | Advantages | Disadvantages |
---|---|---|
Acrylic | Affordable, easy to adjust and repair | Less durable, may feel bulkier |
Metal (Cobalt-Chrome) | Strong, thinner, and more comfortable | More expensive, less aesthetic |
Flexible Resin | Comfortable and aesthetic, no metal parts | Can be harder to repair, less durable |
The process of making dentures is carefully tailored to your mouth and usually takes a few weeks, involving multiple appointments to ensure the best fit and appearance.
It begins with your dentist taking precise impressions of your gums and any remaining teeth using a soft, mouldable material. These impressions are used to create a custom wax model that mimics how your final dentures will look and sit in your mouth.
You’ll try on this wax version during a fitting, allowing your dentist to check the bite, shape, and comfort. Any necessary adjustments are made to ensure the final result feels natural and looks right for your face.
Once approved, the final dentures are crafted in a dental lab using durable materials like acrylic resin or porcelain. The artificial teeth are colour-matched to look natural, while the base is designed to blend seamlessly with your gums.
Your dentist will review the fit again at the final appointment, making small tweaks if needed to help you speak, chew, and smile comfortably with your new dentures.
Getting dentures is a straightforward process, but knowing what lies ahead can make the experience much more comfortable and reassuring. From your first consultation to follow-up care, each stage is designed to ensure your dentures fit well, function properly, and feel as natural as possible.
Denture Procedure Stage | What Happens |
---|---|
Before the Procedure | • Full oral examination, including X-rays and mouth impressions |
• Discussion of denture types (full or partial) | |
• Planning for any necessary tooth extractions | |
During the Procedure | • Tooth extractions performed if needed |
• Fitting of immediate or custom-made dentures | |
• Initial adjustments made for bite and comfort | |
After the Procedure | • Temporary discomfort or soreness is expected |
• Instructions provided for care and cleaning | |
• Follow-up appointments for adjustments and long-term fit |
It’s best to consult a dentist or dentures specialist if you notice any of the following:
Discomfort or pain from missing teeth – Persistent pain, sensitivity, or difficulty eating may indicate the need for dentures or another tooth replacement option.
Loose or ill-fitting dentures – If your dentures slip, cause irritation, or create sores, it may be time for an adjustment, relining, or replacement.
Changes in fit or bite – Natural changes in your gums and jaw over time can affect how dentures sit, making a professional review important.
Considering implant-supported options – If you’re interested in more stable, long-term solutions such as implant-supported dentures, your dentist can advise on suitability and next steps.

It is normal to find dentures uncomfortable for a few weeks, until you get used to the way that they feel in your mouth. The dentures may press on your soft gum tissue, causing tenderness, or you may find that you accidentally bite your cheeks or tongue whilst chewing. Your dentist can adjust your dentures to make them more comfortable.
Getting accustomed to new dentures varies between individuals but generally takes a few weeks. During this adjustment period, you may experience minor discomfort, increased saliva flow, or slight changes in speech. It’s normal to need some time to adapt to chewing and speaking with dentures. Regular follow-up appointments with your dentist can help address any fit issues or discomfort, ensuring a smoother transition. With patience and practice, most people become comfortable using their dentures within one to two months.
Whether you can wear your dentures during surgery depends on the type of procedure and the surgeon’s instructions. For most dental surgeries or procedures involving the mouth, you will be asked to remove your dentures beforehand. This helps prevent damage to your dentures and allows the surgical area to be properly accessed and treated. Always follow your dentist’s or surgeon’s specific guidance regarding denture use before, during, and after any surgical procedure.
Dentures are highly personalised and this can affect their cost. On average, in Singapore you can expect to pay $800 – $1300 per arch, with the final cost determined by the type of dentures you require and the materials used to make them. In addition, you will need to make several visits to the dentist for routine checks prior to having the dentures fitted, as well as regular visits after you begin wearing them, so that your dentist can adjust and clean the dentures as required
Proper care is essential to keep your dentures clean, comfortable, and long-lasting. Remove and rinse them after meals, brush them daily with a soft denture brush, and soak them overnight in a denture-cleaning solution.
Avoid using hot water or harsh toothpaste, as these can damage the material. Regular check-ups with your dentist ensure they continue to fit well and function effectively over time.
Even so-called permanent dentures do not last for longer than 7 to 10 years because facial bones shrink over time, creating a gap between the dentures and the jaw. “Permanent dentures” refers to dentures which have been fixed into the mouth by means of implants. They are a practical solution for people who have lost all their teeth. They can look and feel more natural than removable dentures but are considerably more expensive and will still need to be replaced every few years due to wear and tear.
It is generally recommended to remove your dentures before sleeping. Taking dentures out at night allows your gums and oral tissues to rest and helps prevent irritation or infections. Removing them also makes cleaning easier and supports good oral hygiene. However, if your dentist advises otherwise due to specific circumstances, be sure to follow their recommendations.
