Assured Dental Care is a dental clinic in Andheri West, Mumbai, where dentures are planned around the teeth you have left, the shape of your gums and the way you eat and speak. A denture is a removable set of false teeth made to fit your mouth. It can replace all the teeth in a jaw, which is a complete denture, or fill the gaps between remaining teeth, which is a partial denture, and it can restore chewing and appearance without surgery.
Your care is led by Dr. Shreya Shah, Chief Dentist, who first checks whether any teeth that are failing can be treated and kept, and then explains the ways of replacing the rest. If you are looking for a dentist in Andheri West for dentures, the first step is an examination and X-rays, followed by a clear explanation of the options, the visits and the care a denture needs.

Dentures at Assured Dental Care in Andheri West, Mumbai are removable false teeth that replace some or all of the teeth in a jaw. Dr. Shreya Shah plans each denture after an examination and X-rays. Dentures are made over several visits, and small adjustments after fitting are normal.
Examination and X-rays start at your first visit, subject to availability.
One denture can replace many missing teeth without a separate crown or implant for each.
Most dentures are made without surgery, and they can be adjusted or relined as your mouth changes.
A denture has artificial teeth set in a base that sits on the gum. A complete denture replaces every tooth in the upper or lower jaw and is held mainly by suction and the shape of the gum. A partial denture replaces some teeth and is held by clasps or fittings on the teeth that remain.1
Dentures are made from acrylic, or from acrylic on a metal framework for some partial dentures. They are made in a laboratory from impressions of your mouth. Because the gum and bone change shape after teeth are lost, dentures need adjusting or relining over time, and some patients choose implants to hold a denture more firmly. See dental implants and multiple teeth implants.3
Teeth are usually lost to decay, gum disease, injury or wear. When many teeth are missing, eating, speaking and the support for the lips and cheeks can all be affected. A denture, a bridge or implants can replace them, and we explain the differences before you choose.
A denture replaces missing teeth without surgery, and it can be adjusted as your mouth changes.
Dr. Shreya Shah decides this only after an examination and X-rays. These are the general patterns.
If a few teeth are missing, a dental bridge or a single tooth implant may be options. If teeth are still present but failing, Dr. Shah first checks whether root canal treatment or gum treatment can keep them, and teeth that cannot be saved are removed by tooth extraction.
Dentures suit many patients, and an examination shows whether they suit your mouth.
The right choice depends on how many teeth you have left, the health of your gums and what you want. Dr. Shah explains each option.
Replace all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw and rest on the gums. They are held by suction, and the lower denture is usually harder to keep steady.
Several visitsReplace some teeth and clip onto the teeth that remain. They need those teeth to be healthy and clean, because the clasps and plaque can harm them.
Several visitsFitted on the day teeth are removed, so you are not without teeth. They usually need adjusting or relining as the gums heal and shrink.
Planned per case| Compare | Denture | Fixed bridge | Dental implants |
|---|---|---|---|
| Surgery needed | Usually no | No | Yes, under local anaesthesia |

| Replaces many teeth | Yes | Up to a few | Yes, with a larger plan |
| Typical timeline | A few weeks | A few weeks | About 3 to 9 months |
| Supports the jawbone | No | No | Yes, the posts sit in the bone |
Dentures, bridges and implants each suit different mouths, and we explain all of them before you choose.
Dentures are made over several visits. Your plan may have more or fewer steps.2
A comfortable denture comes from careful impressions, a bite record, a try-in and adjustments after fitting.
Dr. Shah examines the teeth, gums and jaw joints and takes X-rays. She checks the health of remaining teeth and the shape of the gums.
Decay, infection and gum disease are treated first, and teeth that cannot be saved are removed. Gums are given time to heal when teeth have been taken out.
Impressions of your gums and teeth are taken to make a custom tray, so that the denture can be made to fit your own mouth.
A second set of impressions and a record of how your jaws meet are taken. This sets the height and position of the teeth so that you can chew and speak.
The teeth are set in wax and tried in your mouth. You see the shape, shade and position, and changes are made before the denture is finished.
The finished denture is fitted, and the fit, the bite and the edges are checked. Sore areas are eased and you are shown how to put the denture in and take it out.
A short review visit checks sore spots and the bite. Adjustments after fitting are normal, and several small ones are common in the first weeks.
As the gums change shape, the fit changes. Regular check-ups let us adjust, reline or remake the denture when it becomes loose.
Cost depends on your evaluation. Dentures are made for each person, so no single figure fits everyone.
Two people missing the same number of teeth can need different dentures. After the examination and X-rays, Dr. Shreya Shah explains the stages, and the cost of each stage is discussed before you decide to go ahead.
Call 08806796696 or message us on WhatsApp. If you have trouble breathing or swallowing, or swelling is spreading to your eye or neck, go to a hospital emergency department. For a broken denture or other urgent problem, see dental emergency treatment.
Dentures work well with daily cleaning and regular check-ups.
A denture is a good option for many people, and we say so when another option would suit you better.
Your first visit is an examination and a plan. We do not make a denture at the first visit, but we can start the planning.
Bring any earlier X-rays, reports and an old denture if you have one, and a list of the medicines you take. Tell us about allergies, diabetes and heart conditions. If a denture has broken or you have pain or swelling, call us first so that we can arrange the earliest visit.

Dentures are made for each person, so the cost is given only after your evaluation. It depends on whether they are complete or partial, the materials, the number of teeth replaced, whether teeth must be removed first, the number of fitting visits and any adjustments or relines. After the examination, Dr. Shreya Shah explains the plan and the cost of each stage before you decide.
Complete dentures replace all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw and rest on the gums. Partial dentures replace some teeth and clip onto the natural teeth that remain. The choice depends on how many teeth you have left and how healthy they are.
Dentures are made over several visits. These usually include impressions, a check of the bite, a try-in of the teeth set in wax and the final fitting. Adjustments after fitting are normal. The number of visits depends on your mouth, and we explain the plan at the start.
Yes. Dentures can feel bulky, and speech and eating take time to adjust. Sore spots are common in the first weeks and are usually fixed with small adjustments. Speak to us rather than stopping use, because we can adjust them.
Clean them every day over a bowl of water so they do not break if dropped, using a soft brush and a cleaner made for dentures, not ordinary toothpaste. Rinse them after meals. We explain whether to take them out at night for your mouth, because advice depends on your gums.
After teeth are lost, the gum and bone change shape, so a denture that fitted well can become loose. A reline can improve the fit, and a new denture is sometimes needed. Implants can hold a denture more steadily, and we explain this option.
Immediate dentures can be fitted at the same visit as extractions in some cases. They protect the gums while healing, but they usually need adjusting or relining as the gums shrink. Dr. Shah decides whether they suit you.
Keep all the pieces and do not try to repair the denture with household glue. Call us the same day so that we can see what can be repaired. We explain how to manage until you are seen.
If you are missing several teeth, have a denture that has become loose or broken, or want to compare dentures with other options, an evaluation shows what suits your mouth. Call or message us during clinic hours, Monday to Saturday, and we will confirm a time with you.
Monday to Saturday, 10:00 AM to 7:30 PM.
A fixed bridge replaces a few teeth without a removable appliance.
Implants can hold a denture more firmly or replace teeth individually.
Teeth that cannot be saved are removed before dentures are made.
