What types of dentures are available in Seoul?
The four main types are complete dentures, partial dentures, immediate dentures fitted on extraction day, and implant-supported dentures that clip onto implants. Gangnam One Day Dental Clinic designs dentures from digital scans in its in-house lab and can convert a conventional denture to an implant-supported one when bone allows.

Choosing the right denture
A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth. The right type depends on how many teeth remain, the health of your gums and whether you want something more stable than a denture resting on the gums.
- Complete denture: replaces all teeth in the upper or lower jaw.
- Partial denture: fills gaps while keeping your remaining teeth.
- Immediate denture: fitted the day teeth are removed so you are never without teeth; usually relined after healing.
- Implant-supported denture: clips onto 2–4 implants for far better stability, especially for the lower jaw.
Digitally designed, made in our own lab
We take intraoral scans and records of your bite, then design the teeth for shape, colour and lip support. Dentures are made in Oneday Lab, our in-house laboratory, so adjustments do not need to be sent away.
Our prosthodontists, Yoo Young-hoon and Kim Kang-min, lead denture design. Bite balance matters with dentures because uneven contact makes them rock and cause sore spots.

Get a free opinionWhen to consider implants instead
Lower complete dentures often feel loose because the tongue and cheeks move them. Two to four implants can hold a denture firmly; see implant-supported dentures. For fixed teeth that never come out, see All-on-4 implants.
If only one to three teeth are missing, a dental bridge may be a simpler fixed option.
| Conventional denture | Implant-supported denture | |
|---|---|---|
| Stability | Rests on gums; may move | Clips onto implants; stable |
| Surgery | None | 2–4 implants per jaw |
| Chewing | Reduced for hard foods | Much closer to natural |
| Bone preservation | Bone continues to shrink | Implants help slow bone loss |
| Time to final | Usually 2–4 weeks | Usually 3–6 months |

Things to know before you decide
- New dentures commonly cause sore spots and speech changes for the first 2–4 weeks.
- Bone under dentures shrinks over time, so relines are usually needed every few years.
- Partial dentures rely on remaining teeth, which must be kept healthy.
- Conventional lower dentures can remain loose for some patients; implants may be advised.
