Frequently asked questions

Dentures: your questions

Can a denture be fixed so it no longer moves?

Yes, two or more implants can stabilise a full denture, especially in the lower jaw.

How long does it take to get used to it?

Usually a few weeks. Small adjustments are planned after fitting.

Does the health insurance fund (mutuelle) reimburse dentures?

INAMI/RIZIV contributes towards certain removable dentures, depending on age and specific conditions. The practice will inform you when giving the cost estimate.

Should an old denture be replaced?

If it moves, hurts or is worn, yes: the gums and bone change over time and the denture needs to be adapted.
