Thanks to modern dentistry, upper dentures are now made without the palate, also known as palateless dentures or horseshoe dentures. This type of denture is made for patients who do not have all their upper teeth. Palateless dentures can be used with overdentures, removable restoration, and dental implants.
A palateless denture is arch shaped. It is designed for use when all of your upper teeth are missing. Unlike traditional dentures, it does not cover the roof of your mouth. The base of it is made with metal rings that snap onto dental implants.
Palateless dentures can exist in several forms. For example, palateless dentures describe any prosthetic device that has no plate that covers the upper palate – this can include, dental implants, tooth-retained overdentures and fixed or removable restorations.
Conventional upper dentures are made to cover the patient's palate for maximum security and stability. The palate being covered by a well-fitting upper denture actually takes advantage of the upper denture's ability to utilize the natural moisture present in the mouth over a wide area to gain suction.
Flexible dentures are more compact and do not cover the roof or floor of the mouth to the same extent as plastic dentures do and so cause less difficulties with eating and speaking. Flexible dentures also provide a more cosmetic solution for patients.
Soft dentures are made just like traditional dentures; however, there is one major difference: the inner lining of the base is made with a flexible resin. This means that your dentures will provide greater comfort while still maintaining stability enough to still bite into an apple.
50,000 to Rs. 65,000. Many factors will influence the final price tag, including A standard complete denture kit in India would come up to about Rs 60,000-65,000 inclusive of prosthetic services, facility costs, case materials, and medicos charges.
Cosmetic dentures are the latest innovation in tooth replacement. They look amazing, maintain your ability to chew and speak properly, and preserve bone mass.
If you want to know if your dentures will feel normal, the answer is yes. You may have recently gotten the teeth, or perhaps you are considering getting them. You might want to know what to expect. The good news is that today's prosthetics feel more natural than ever, and you can get accustomed to them quickly.

Some of the most common problems with dentures are that: They tend to move in the mouth, especially while eating and/or talking. They collect and trap food which can lead to gums problems, decay and further tooth loss.
Depending on the number of teeth missing, a dentist may recommend bridges, crowns, inlays, onlays or fillings. There are also dental implants, which work great for people without any teeth. As a permanent solution, patients never have to worry about problems going forward. A dental bridge is a possibility as well.
As we mentioned above, it's not always necessary to get dentures on both the top and bottom teeth. If you only have missing teeth in your bottom jaw, then you won't need dentures for your upper teeth. However, the most common reason for missing teeth in older adults is tooth decay or gum disease.
Many people say their dentures feel bulky and too big for their mouths. Others report that the new dentures feel too loose. Saliva production increases and your gums and jaw muscles may feel sore and tired. With time, these issues typically resolve on their own.
The roof of the mouth is called a palate. The palatal expander (PAL uh tuhl ex PAN der) is a dental appliance used to widen the roof of the mouth (Picture 1). It expands the palate to make room for crowded teeth.
Do roofless dentures require the use of dental implants? You can request a roofless denture without also having dental implants, but they are much less stable and will require denture adhesive.
Custom Dentures
These dentures are made of more expensive teeth, which gives you a more natural-looking smile. One can actually see the new denture before it's completed. This denture is customized for one's smile, so it's natural looking and suits one's needs.
There are four main types of dentures: fixed bridge, partial dentures, complete dentures, and dental implants. One or more false teeth are held between healthy teeth on both sides.
In many cases, learning to adapt to the feel of the lower denture can require somewhat more time than the upper denture as the lower denture is typically less secure and your tongue can feel a little cramped. It can take up to a number of weeks before you are completely comfortable with them.
Like braces, your dentures will feel like a foreign object at first. It may even seem embarrassing to learn how to speak or eat naturally while wearing them. It's normal to feel a little shock and discomfort as you're getting used to this, but it won't last forever.
The only way a denture wearer can prevent facial collapse is to support the dentures with dental implants. Two to eight dental implants can be surgically implanted in the jawbone, and dentures are secured to them.
