What are dentures?
Dentures help to restore a patient’s smile and the ability to chew and speak clearly after some or all teeth are lost. At Acharya Dental, we pride ourselves on using a revolutionary processing technique to fabricate high strength complete and partial dentures, resulting in the highest strength, durability and esthetics. We also specialize in fabricating complete or partial overdentures, where we use dental implants to anchor the denture more effectively providing our patients with a greater sense of comfort with better function.
Steps to a Perfect Denture
Step 1
Our team will assess your mouth and help you decide if a denture is appropriate for you.
Step 2
Denture fabrication usually takes about 4-5 visits, spread over a 2 week period. However, this can be completed on a much shorter time on request (3 days).
Step 3
A perfect custom made denture is placed in your mouth, and you will be taught how to use and maintain your new smile.

Denture Post Operative Instructions
Introduction
When you begin to wear your new prosthesis there is an adjustment period where your usual mouth functions may need to be relearned. These include chewing, speech, swallowing, appearance of lip posture, and ridge comfort; the following suggestions from Team Acharya Dental may help you in adapting to your new prosthesis and in maintaining it.
Avoid pain by starting with easy but nutritious food to eat. Examples of a softer diet can include fish, eggs, cottage cheese, cooked potatoes, oranges and apple sauce. If you have discomfort, remove the denture and massage the painful area with your finger. Let the gums rest and then be visible and precise adjustments will be very difficult.
Our team at Acharya Dental will advise you to try to chew with both sides of your mouth. If food is evenly chewed on both sides, the denture will be less likely to tip. Try not to bite with the front teeth as this will cause the back end of the denture to move off the gums. Biting with the side teeth will give better stability.
Pain during swallowing may simply require a minor denture base adjustment.
With the stimulus of new dentures your mouth may have more or less saliva for a few days. Be patient and the flow will return to normal.
Speech is a very complicated and dynamic process involving all parts of the airway and mouth. Your denture has been constructed to meet the demands of stability and retention during speech. Fortunately, people are very adaptable and speech sounds very good at the time of delivery. If speech does not sound right to you, give it some time and normal body adaptation will resolve your concerns. Practice reading aloud. Do not focus undue attention on the process.
To remove food debris and bacterial plaque from your prosthesis, brush vigorously with a stiff denture brush. Use either soap and water or a commercially available denture cleaning agent. Do not use toothpaste to clean your denture. The effervescent soaking solutions are also useful. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Wash your denture over a basin of water or a cloth. If they are dropped on a hard surface, the acrylic portion may fracture and any metal may bend. Make sure to clean your implant attachments in your mouth as well. You should also use a soft toothbrush to gently massage and clean your gums and tongue.
In general, take the dentures out before going to sleep. This will allow the gums to rest.
Post-delivery follow-up usually requires three visits. More are available as needed. After the first year, annual recall visits are useful to monitor changes in the shape of the ridges, wear of the teeth and general oral health. If there are problems with pain, chewing, or with wear or breakage of the base or teeth, please make an appointment with the Acharya Dental team at your earliest opportunity.

Everything about Acharya Dental is complete magic, because here’s where you realize that dental procedures and dentists don’t have to be scary and intimidating; you don’t have to wait forever for your treatment and appointments; you don’t have to lug around your files with dental records, as they have everything available in one place across any room you get treated in their clinic.I was fortunate enough to get my smile correction done by Dr. Varun Acharya, who was absolutely patient, kind, and gentle throughout the entire procedure. It’s incredibly hard to believe that I had undergone an entire dental procedure with zero pain or discomfort, and I’m in love with my smile now.The entire team at Acharya Dental exudes complete professionalism and mastery at what they do. You can completely trust Acharya Dental for any kind of dental issue, be it big or small, and be in awe as they work their magic.

I recently visited Acharya dental clinic, I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience. The staff was super friendly , making me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. Dr. Mahesh did my filling and extraction was professional and took the time to explain each step of the process, which really put me at ease. The clinic itself was clean and well-organized . I also found their scheduling system convenient, with minimal wait time. Overall, I highly recommend Acharya clinic for anyone looking for quality dental clinic .

Hello friends good day to you all,My name is Shahid Mohammed , iam 61 years old and my wife’s sister has recommended me to visit Acharya. Basically i am visiting India on vacation from Canada. Initially i had to put a cap which was broken and the doctors took my whole jaws x ray. Doctor Mahesh has done nicely the front tooth cap, and upon seeing my x ray he did recommend me a surgical extraction of my lower jaw tooth which was well performed by doctor seema. Though my cheek was swollen for 10 days and giving daily hot water fermentation and mouth wash plus medication has helped me. This was reduced after 15 days. I had root canal treatment and first time I had some pain and doctor sulochana said she would do i another sitting. Then she sent me down to surgical extraction and doctor seema done well with 2or 3 stitches. My point is anyone has to face with courage to our dental issues , and iam overall happy and very soon going to finish my treatment. Thank you all for your help including the front desk and god bless you.Shahid Mohammed
