Frequently asked questions

At Apex Denture Studio, we provide a range of denture solutions to meet individual needs, including complete dentures for those missing all of their natural teeth, partial dentures for patients missing some teeth, and implant-retained dentures for a stable, long-term solution. We also offer flexible partial dentures for added comfort and interim dentures for use during the healing process.

Complete dentures replace all upper or lower teeth, while partial dentures are designed to replace only some missing teeth and are secured by your natural teeth. We offer various types of partial dentures, including cast and flexible options, as well as complete dentures for a fully restored smile.

Interim dentures, or temporary dentures, are provided immediately after extractions to fill in gaps while your gums heal and before permanent dentures are ready. They’re an excellent solution for patients who prefer not to go without teeth during the healing period.

With proper care, most dentures last 5-10 years. Regular adjustments and relines can extend their life, keeping them comfortable and functional. We recommend visiting for periodic check-ups and exploring denture repairs and relines to ensure your dentures stay in great shape.

Over time, natural changes in your gums may alter the fit of your dentures. Denture relines help restore a snug fit, reducing discomfort and maintaining functionality. If your dentures feel loose, it’s best to schedule an appointment to evaluate if a reline is needed.
