Dentures are one of the multiple options we have on offer for tooth replacement.

An economical answer to missing teeth, dentures give you back your smile and chewing ability, but perhaps more importantly, your confidence.

Your introduction to Dentures

Breakdown: bespoke set of false teeth made to specification.

Life Benefits: dentures restore the ability to chew a variety of foods/give you a full and authentic-looking smile.

Appointments: the number of appointments depends on complexity

What are Dentures?

Dentures are a set of removable false teeth that fit over the top of your gum line. They draw on suction to remain in position when you do everything from smiling and kissing to chewing and swallowing.

Getting Dentures requires the following steps:

Consultation/Examination
An in-depth examination of your mouth is performed. Your dentist will examine your remaining teeth to identify if they require extraction prior to getting dentures (this may be the case if they are failing). The anatomy of your mouth is examined and if you have none of your own teeth remaining, we will ask you to bring in a photograph of when you had your own teeth to allow us to create natural looking dentures.

Preparation

  • 2 sets of impressions are taken, followed by wax blocks to assess your bite.
  • A wax trial denture is fabricated to ensure optimal function (for speech and chewing) as well as aesthetics. This wax trial denture provides the precise measurements needed to produce a fully natural set of long-term dentures that fit the dimensions of your mouth.

Denture Fitting
Once your dentures are finalised, we can invite you in for a fitting appointment. Your dentist will check the dentures to ensure they are exactly the right fit for your mouth and show you how to remove, insert, and clean your dentures.

Why should I choose to have Dentures to replace missing teeth?

  • Improved Quality of Life
    There’s no question that tooth replacement with dentures improves your quality of life. With a full set of teeth, you will have fewer physical and emotional limitations in your everyday life.
  • Confidence Boosting
    With a full set of teeth again, you may find you are more willing to smile around others, giving you improved confidence in the short and long term.
  • Big Improvement in Chewing
    Even a couple of missing teeth can dramatically impair your chewing. Your dentures will be easy to place over your gums, and once in position, they will establish a foundation for you to chew a whole variety of foods.
  • Modern Dentures are Incredibly Natural-looking
    Modern denture designs can create a natural appearance and, therefore, offer an extremely aesthetic outcome.

FAQs

Do Dentures work With Implants?

Yes. Our dentures can be secured with dental implants. We highly recommend this option, especially if you require replacements for multiple teeth and are seeking a solution that may closely mimic natural teeth. Implants fit these criteria, as they replace the full lost tooth root. A set of dentures are then fitted over the implants.
