Dentures

Dentures are a non-invasive, cost-effective solution for missing teeth and are ideal for people looking for a quick and easy solution for tooth loss. There is no need for any surgery, and any modifications to natural teeth are minor. For example, it may be necessary to adjust natural teeth slightly to hold clasps for a partial denture more firmly. Also, additional teeth can sometimes be added to existing partial dentures if more natural teeth need removing in the future.

Modern dentures are designed to look and feel as natural as possible. There is a huge range of high-quality denture teeth available and our experienced dentists can help you to select teeth that are the correct size, shape, and shade to complement your features, skin tone and gender. Your denture teeth can be arranged to replicate the appearance of your natural teeth, or if you prefer, we can create a straighter and more cosmetically perfect smile. If you have full dentures, you can choose a brighter and whiter shade of teeth.

Dentures rest on your gums and are easy to wear. We take tremendous care when designing dentures to maximize retention, and we spend quite a bit of time when fitting them in your mouth, providing you with an optimal outcome for this treatment. We will show you how to insert and remove your dentures and how to care for them to keep them clean and fresh.

After you lose natural teeth, the ridge that used to support them will gradually change shape. When this happens, we can reline the fitting surface of dentures or can remake them entirely, so they fit more securely. Increasingly, people are opting to have implant-supported dentures that are held securely in place with as few as four dental implants. Implant-supported dentures don’t rest on the gums and can be a more comfortable solution in the longer term.
