With personalised care and attention to detail, we’re here to help you rediscover the joy of a complete, beautiful smile.

What Are Dentures? 

Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They are crafted to look and function like natural teeth, allowing you to speak and smile with confidence. Dentures are custom-made to fit your mouth, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit. 

What Are the Different Types of Dentures?

There are two main types of dentures: complete dentures and partial dentures. 

Complete dentures are used when all of your teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. Complete dentures can be either conventional or immediate. Conventional dentures are made after the teeth have been removed and the gum tissue has healed, which usually takes a few months. Immediate dentures are made in advance and can be placed as soon as the teeth are removed, allowing you to have teeth during the healing period. 

Partial dentures consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum-coloured plastic base, which is connected by a metal framework that holds the denture in place.

Why Should I Consider Dentures? 

If you have lost some or all of your teeth, considering dentures can significantly improve your quality of life. Missing teeth can make everyday activities like eating and speaking challenging and can also affect your self-esteem. 

Dentures can restore your ability to chew food properly, speak clearly, and smile without hesitation. Moreover, dentures support the facial muscles, helping to maintain the natural shape of your face and preventing the sunken appearance that often accompanies tooth loss. 

How Are Dentures Made and Fitted? 

The process of getting dentures involves several steps to ensure a perfect fit and natural appearance. 

First, we will conduct a thorough examination of your mouth, including taking impressions and measurements. These impressions are used to create a precise model of your mouth, which serves as a guide for crafting your custom dentures. 

Once the dentures are made, we will fit them in your mouth and make any necessary adjustments to ensure they fit comfortably and securely. This process may require several appointments to achieve the best fit.

Are Dentures Comfortable?

Modern dentures are designed with comfort in mind. Initially, you might experience some minor discomfort as you adjust to wearing them, but this usually subsides within a few weeks. 

We use high-quality materials and advanced techniques to ensure that your dentures feel as natural and comfortable as possible. If you experience persistent discomfort, we can make adjustments to improve the fit.

How Do I Care for My Dentures?

Proper care and maintenance of your dentures are essential for their longevity and your oral health. 

It’s important to clean your dentures daily to remove food particles and prevent plaque buildup. Use a soft-bristled brush and mild denture cleaner to gently clean all surfaces. When you’re not wearing your dentures, store them in a container with water or a denture-soaking solution to keep them moist. Regular dental check-ups are also crucial to ensure your dentures remain in good condition and fit properly.

Can Dentures Improve My Quality of Life?

Absolutely! Dentures can greatly enhance your quality of life by restoring your ability to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and smile confidently. They can also improve your facial appearance by providing support to the lips and cheeks, preventing the sagging that often occurs with tooth loss. With dentures, you can enjoy social interactions and daily activities without the worry or embarrassment of missing teeth.
