Dentures
Whether you need a full set of dentures or a partial denture to fill in gaps, we can help you find a comfortable, natural-looking solution. Modern dentures are designed to fit securely, allowing you to eat, speak and smile with confidence.
Our team will take the time to assess your needs and guide you through the process, from initial impressions to the final fitting, ensuring your denture feels right for you.
The process begins with a full assessment of your mouth and gums. We take detailed impressions to design a denture that fits your bite and complements your facial features.
Once your denture is ready, we will check the fit carefully and make any adjustments needed so it feels secure and comfortable in daily use.
Are Dentures Right For You?
Dentures can be a good option if you have lost several teeth or need a full replacement for your upper or lower arch. They can help restore your ability to chew and speak, as well as support the shape of your face.
Our team will discuss your suitability for full, partial or implant-secured dentures, taking into account your oral health and personal preferences, so you can choose the option that suits you best.
How long does it take to get used to dentures?
Most patients need a short adjustment period as their mouth gets used to the new denture. It is common to notice increased saliva or minor speech changes at first, but these usually settle within a few weeks as you become more confident wearing it.
Will my dentures look natural?
Yes, modern dentures are designed to look and feel like natural teeth. We consider the size, shape, colour and positioning carefully to help create a smile that suits your face.
How do I look after my dentures?
Dentures should be cleaned daily with a soft brush and non-abrasive denture cleaner, and removed at night to give your gums a rest. We recommend regular check-ups so we can monitor the fit and condition of your denture over time.
Can I eat normally with dentures?
Yes, well-fitted dentures should allow you to enjoy a varied diet. It can help to start with softer foods and cut things into smaller pieces while you get used to wearing them, gradually building up to a normal range of foods.
What types of dentures are available?
There are several options, including full dentures for a completely missing arch, partial dentures to fill in gaps, and implant-secured dentures for extra stability. We will help you choose the type best suited to your needs.
Will I need to use denture adhesive?
Some patients like to use a small amount of adhesive for extra confidence and security, particularly with new dentures or a lower denture, though a well-fitted denture should feel secure without it. We can advise you on whether adhesive would be helpful for your situation.
Will I need to have my dentures relined or replaced?
Your mouth shape can change gradually over time, which may affect the fit of your denture. We recommend regular reviews so we can reline, adjust or remake your denture as needed to keep it comfortable and functioning well.
