Dentures are prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth, crafted from materials like metal, porcelain, or acrylic resin. A complete and healthy smile can significantly enhance your first impression. If you have missing teeth, considering dentures could be an effective solution.
At i.Dental, pricing for dentures starts at $501.40 per arch, with options available in both full and partial acrylic dentures. Consultation fees are charged at $21.80 – $54.50, inclusive of GST, ensuring you receive comprehensive care tailored to your specific dental needs.
Dentures are available in many types, all of which can be classified into 3 main categories: removable, permanent, and temporary.
Lasts for: 3 – 5 years
Conventional dentures are custom-made artificial teeth and gums designed to fit comfortably in a patient’s mouth. Available in full or partial sets, they accommodate varying degrees of tooth loss. These removable dentures are typically crafted from acrylic or porcelain and are supported by an acrylic or metal base.
Full dentures, also known as complete dentures, include both upper and lower sets and are ideal for individuals who have lost all of their teeth.
They fit snugly over the gum tissue, with suction helping to keep them securely in place during speaking and chewing.
Partial dentures are suitable for patients who are missing only some of their teeth. They are designed to fill any gaps in your smile, whether upper, lower, or both.
Like full dentures, partials enhance your confidence and can be removed as needed.
Lasts for: 5 – 8 years
Flexible dentures, as the name suggests, is a type of partial denture that is softer and more comfortable. This is achieved by using a nylon (or other thin thermoplastics) material as compared to acrylic used in regular dentures which is thicker and stiffer.
Lasts for: 10 – 15 years
Implant-supported dentures (also known as snap on dentures) are fitted permanently through surgery. For this, a few dental implants are used to hold the denture in place.
The entire process can take up to 6 months as the bone needs time to grow around the implants before they become securely fitted. This is a great option for those who have difficulty adapting to conventional dentures.
To be worn for: Maximum 2 – 3 months
Immediate dentures are temporary solutions provided to patients who have just undergone tooth extraction, serving as placeholders while waiting for their conventional or permanent dentures. These dentures help protect the gum tissue during the healing process. Since they are not custom-fitted, they may not fit as snugly as permanent dentures.
On average, dentures in Singapore can range from $500 to $900 per full arch. The final price is dependent on factors such as the type, material and whether it is a full or partial denture.

Dentures last for about 3 to 5 years. During this period, your dentures may need to be replaced or relined due to wear and tear. Coupled with changing bone shape, your dentures may loosen or irritate your gums.
As such, annual visits to the dentist are recommended.
New dentures may feel uncomfortable until you get used to them. Patients usually take about a few weeks to get accustomed. Until then, experiencing slight discomfort or minor soreness is normal.
If the pain or discomfort persists, contact your dentist to have them adjusted.
In such cases, patients have 2 choices:
Our dentists will take a mould of your tooth, retain your current dentures and send them to the lab to replace the lost tooth. During this period, you will not have any dentures for about 7 working days while the lost tooth is being fabricated.
You can also consider replacing the entire denture. In this case, you can bring home your current dentures to wear while waiting for the new one to be fabricated.
