Dentures

Dentures are removable false teeth that come with a host of benefits, including helping to improve how you eat and speak, as well as boosting your confidence by restoring your smile. They can also enhance facial shape, especially around the lips and in the cheek area. You can either have partial dentures for a few missing teeth or full dentures to replace a whole set of teeth on the upper or lower jaw.

They are usually made from acrylic, or a combination of acrylic and metal, and modern materials mean that partial dentures will blend in beautifully with existing teeth and complete dentures can pass for the real thing.

What does the treatment involve?

1. We will need to thoroughly assess your oral health and make sure that your gums and existing teeth are healthy enough to support your dentures.
2. A final set of dentures are custom-made at a dental laboratory and when ready, you will be invited in for a fitting.
3. It can take a little while to get used to your new dentures, especially if they are a complete set. It’s a good idea to start with softer foods and slowly introduce more challenging items. The amount of saliva in your mouth may increase, but this should soon improve as your mouth gets used to your replacement teeth.
4. If you are experiencing any sore spots in your mouth, the denture surface may need some adjustment. We will see you for a follow-up appointment to make sure you are adjusting to your dentures.
