A Smile Restored at 68 – Real Patient Story
At PureSmiles Dental Clinic, Baner, we recently completed a successful removable denture treatment for a 68-year-old male patient who came to us with multiple missing teeth and difficulty in chewing and speaking clearly. His story is a testament to how even traditional treatments like custom-made dentures can be life-changing—when done with precision, care, and personalization.
👨⚕️ Patient Profile and Chief Complaint
Age: 68 years
Location: Pune (local resident of Baner)
Dental Issues:
Multiple missing teeth in both arches
Difficulty in chewing solid food
Slurred speech due to loss of dental structure
Facial sagging and loss of support in cheeks
Medical History: Controlled diabetes and high BP (non-surgical candidate)
🔍 Why Dentures Were Chosen Over Implants
While dental implants are often recommended for tooth replacement, not every patient is a candidate. In this case:
The patient had systemic conditions that increased the risk of surgical complications.
He preferred a non-invasive, cost-effective option that restored both function and aesthetics.
Dentures provided an ideal solution: painless, removable, and fully customized.
🛠️ Step-by-Step Denture Treatment Plan
1. Initial Consultation and Evaluation
We began with a full oral examination, digital X-rays, and an impression of the upper and lower arches to evaluate the gum ridge and bone support.
2. Personalized Treatment Planning
A detailed plan was created:
Full upper and lower removable dentures
Gum-colored acrylic base with natural-looking teeth
Adjustments for enhanced comfort and speech
3. Impressions and Bite Registration
Final impressions were taken using high-quality materials
Jaw relationship was recorded to ensure a natural bite and smile
4. Try-In Stage
A wax try-in was performed to preview the look, fit, and function
The patient was involved in tooth shade and alignment decisions
5. Final Denture Insertion
The final prosthesis was delivered after ensuring perfect fit
Minor adjustments were made for pressure points
6. Follow-Up and Aftercare
Within 7–10 days, the patient adapted beautifully
Regular follow-up appointments were scheduled for refinements and oral hygiene support
✨ Outcome: Functionality, Comfort & Aesthetics
✔️ Chewing Efficiency Restored: The patient could enjoy his meals without pain or restriction✔️ Clearer Speech: Articulation improved significantly✔️ Facial Support: The dentures restored lost facial volume and improved his overall appearance✔️ Patient Feedback:
“I never thought dentures could feel this comfortable. I feel like myself again.”
Why Removable Dentures Still Matter Today ?
In an era dominated by implants and fixed solutions, removable dentures remain an excellent option, especially for:
Elderly patients
Medically compromised individuals

Those avoiding surgical intervention
Modern dentures are far superior to the traditional ones—lighter, more aesthetic, and customized for a snug, secure fit. Types of dentures, partial or complete depends on patient's teeth condition.
