Restorative Dentistry
A Smile, Restored to Function
There is a weight to the space where a tooth used to be.
It is not just the absence.
It is the subtle shift in how you speak, the hesitation before a meal, and the way a smile becomes something you manage rather than something you share.
Tooth loss is rarely just about a gap. It changes the structure of the face — the way the lips rest, the way the jaw finds its rhythm.
Denture therapy, at its finest, is an act of restoration. It brings back balance — to how you eat, how you speak, and how your smile sits naturally within your features.
At Dentalis, dentures are approached with that understanding. A bespoke prosthetic — crafted with the precision of an artisan and the clinical rigour of a specialist.

Understanding Dentures
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are removable dental prosthetics designed to replace missing teeth and restore oral function.
Dentures remain a widely used and reliable solution for patients with multiple missing teeth, especially when a non-surgical option is preferred.
Restore chewing
Recover the ability to eat comfortably
Improve speech
Restore clarity and confidence when speaking
Support facial structure
Prevent the sunken appearance of tooth loss
Prevent shifting
Stop neighbouring teeth from drifting out of position
Why Act Early
Why Replace Missing Teeth Early
Missing teeth affect more than appearance. Over time, gaps can lead to:
Shifting of neighbouring teeth
Gaps allow adjacent teeth to drift inward over time
Changes in bite alignment
The jaw compensates, often unevenly
Increased strain on remaining teeth
Missing teeth shift chewing load unevenly
Gradual loss of facial support
Lips and cheeks can appear sunken over years
The structure of the face may also gradually change, as the lips and cheeks lose the support that teeth once provided. The longer tooth loss is left unaddressed, the more these changes compound.
Replacing missing teeth early helps preserve balance — not only within the mouth, but across the face as a whole.

Your Journey
How Dentures Are Made at Dentalis
Dentures are created through a structured, step-by-step process — with clarity and precision at every stage. Nothing is rushed, and every fit is refined to ensure lasting comfort.
Full Denture Timeline
clinical visits
weeks from scan to fitting
Where prior extraction is required, add 8–12 weeks for gum and bone healing before the scan appointment.
-
Consultation
Your dentist assesses the number of missing teeth, gum health, bite alignment, and suitability for dentures — before any plan is proposed.
-
Gum & Bone Healing If Extraction Required
If remaining teeth need to be extracted first, a healing period of approximately 8 to 12 weeks is required before denture fabrication can begin. This allows the gum and bone to stabilise into their final shape — ensuring the denture is fitted to a stable foundation.
-
Intraoral Digital Scan
After healing (or immediately, for patients who do not require extraction), a precise intraoral digital scan is taken. This forms the master record for the laboratory fabrication. Dentalis uses iTero Lumina Pro scanning technology where appropriate.
-
Design & Fabrication
The denture is crafted in a dental laboratory, matched precisely to tooth shade, gum colour, and bite relationship. Each prosthetic is personalised — not generic.
-
Fitting & Adjustment
The denture is fitted and refined to ensure comfort, proper bite, and stability. Minor adjustments may be needed during the adaptation period — we remain available throughout.
"Denture therapy is often treated as a last resort — but that framing doesn't serve patients well. A well-designed denture restores chewing, supports the face, and returns confidence. When it fits properly, most patients tell me they forget they're wearing one. That is what we aim for: a prosthetic that disappears into function."

Subsidies & Eligibility
Are Dentures Covered by CHAS?
Some denture treatments may qualify for subsidies under the Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS), depending on eligibility. We verify your entitlements at your consultation and handle the paperwork.
Eligible Groups
- Pioneer Generation (PG) cardholders
- Merdeka Generation (MG) cardholders
- CHAS Blue cardholders
- CHAS Orange cardholders
Eligibility depends on individual circumstances and treatment type. Subsidy details can be verified through CHAS, HealthHub, or the Ministry of Health Singapore.
Learn more about CHAS dental subsidies →Dental Implants as an Alternative
For patients who prefer a fixed solution, dental implants may be MediSave claimable up to S$1,950. They offer a longer-term, non-removable replacement.
The right choice depends on your oral health, goals, and budget. We will give you a clear, honest picture of all your options before any decision is made.
At Dentalis, the starting point is clarity — a clear understanding of your options, and a plan designed to restore function with the least necessary intervention.
Facial Harmony
Dentures and Facial Support
Teeth play an important role in supporting the structure of the face. Tooth loss can cause facial muscles to lose support, sometimes resulting in a sunken appearance.
Well-designed dentures help restore:
- Lip support
- Facial proportions
- Overall balance and symmetry
At Dentalis, denture planning considers not just teeth — but how your smile sits within your face.
Caring for Dentures
Proper denture care helps maintain comfort and extend the longevity of the appliance:
- Clean dentures daily
- Remove dentures before sleep
- Attend regular dental check-ups
- Keep dentures hydrated when not worn
- Avoid very hot water or abrasive toothpaste
With proper care, dentures can remain functional and comfortable for many years.
Choosing the Right Solution
Dentures, Implants — and When Each Makes Sense
Not every patient needs the same solution. Dental implants offer a fixed, long-term replacement — but they involve surgery, longer treatment timelines, and higher cost. Dentures provide a less invasive alternative, restoring function without surgery.
| Feature | Dentures | Dental Implants |
|---|---|---|
| Surgery required | No | Yes |
| Cost | Lower | Higher |
| Longevity | 5–10 years | 10–20+ years |
| Removable | Yes | No |
| MediSave claimable | No | Yes (up to S$1,950) |
Dentures may be recommended for patients who prefer a non-surgical tooth replacement option, have multiple missing teeth, or may not be suitable candidates for dental implants. The right approach depends on your oral condition, goals, and comfort with treatment. Learn about dental implants and MediSave →
Other options, such as dental bridges, may be considered when only a small number of teeth are affected.

Patient Reviews
Smiles That Speak a Thousand Words
Real people. Honest five-star feedback on dentures at Dentalis.
“I did my dentures with Dr Jonathan Liu and so incredibly happy with the results. Tried many dental clinics — all disappointing — so one of my biggest worries was finding a comfortable fit, and he exceeded my expectations by far. The dentures feel natural and secure. It is comfortable that I barely notice them throughout the day. Highly recommended.”

Common Questions
Dentures FAQs
Everything you need to know about dentures — from cost to care — answered clearly and honestly.
At Dentalis, partial dentures start from S$600 per arch, full dentures from S$800 per arch, denture repair from S$150, and first consultation is S$80 — all before prevailing GST. An exact quote is provided after clinical assessment. Cost varies depending on material, number of teeth replaced, and design complexity.
Most patients adapt to dentures within a short time. Minor adjustments may be needed during the first few weeks as the mouth adjusts. At Dentalis, we remain available throughout the adaptation period to refine the fit until it is comfortable.
The process involves consultation, digital scanning, laboratory fabrication, and fitting. Most patients complete the process over several appointments across a few weeks. Timelines vary depending on the complexity of the case and the type of denture selected.
Dentures typically last five to ten years, depending on material, wear, and changes in gum shape over time. Periodic adjustments, relining, or replacement may be required as the gums and jawbone naturally change.
Yes. Full dentures replace all teeth in either the upper or lower jaw and are custom-designed to restore facial support, smile aesthetics, chewing ability, and speech clarity.
Yes. Denture repair at Dentalis starts from S$150. Contact us to discuss the nature of the damage and we will advise on the best course of action.
Some denture treatments may qualify for CHAS dental subsidies depending on eligibility and card tier, including Pioneer Generation, Merdeka Generation, CHAS Blue and CHAS Orange cardholders. Eligibility is confirmed at your consultation.
Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain — they are supported by clasps that attach to neighbouring teeth. Full dentures replace all teeth in an arch and rest directly on the gums. Both are custom-designed at Dentalis to match your shade, bite, and facial features.
It depends on your oral health, goals, and comfort with treatment. Dental implants offer a fixed, longer-lasting replacement but require surgery and higher investment. Dentures are non-surgical, more accessible, and practical when multiple teeth are missing. Dental implants may be MediSave claimable up to S$1,950. At Dentalis, we present all options clearly before any plan is finalised.
Clean dentures daily, remove them before sleep, keep them hydrated when not worn, and attend regular dental check-ups. Avoid very hot water and abrasive toothpaste, as these may damage the denture surface. With proper care, dentures can remain functional and comfortable for many years.
