Restore Your Smile with Custom Dentures

Missing teeth can affect your ability to eat comfortably, speak clearly and smile with confidence. Dentures are a well-established way to replace missing teeth and are designed to restore both appearance and everyday function.

Whether you’re replacing several teeth or a complete arch, we’ll discuss the available options and recommend the most suitable solution for your individual needs.

Ready to Enhance Your Smile?

A consultation can help you understand your treatment options, assess your suitability and answer any questions you may have. We'll discuss your smile goals, explain the available treatments and recommend a personalised approach based on your individual needs.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable appliances designed to replace missing teeth and the surrounding tissues.

They are individually made to fit your mouth and can help restore the appearance of your smile while supporting everyday activities such as speaking and eating.

Depending on your needs, dentures may replace a few missing teeth or all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw.

Types of Dentures

The most appropriate denture depends on the number of missing teeth and your overall oral health.

Options may include:

  • Full dentures – designed to replace all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw.
  • Partial dentures – used when some healthy natural teeth remain.
  • Immediate dentures – fitted shortly after teeth have been removed in suitable cases.
  • Digital dentures – produced using digital technology where appropriate.
  • Implant-retained dentures – supported by dental implants for improved stability.

During your consultation, we’ll explain the advantages of each option and help you choose the treatment that best suits your needs.

Steps

The Dentures Process

1
Consultation & Smile Assessment

We’ll examine your oral health, discuss your concerns and determine the most suitable type of denture for your needs, whether that’s a full or partial denture.

2
Impressions and Treatment Planning

Impressions or digital scans of your mouth are taken to create dentures that are tailored to your gums, bite and facial features. We’ll also discuss the appearance of your new smile.

3
Creating and Fitting Your Dentures

Your custom dentures are carefully made before being fitted. We’ll check the fit, comfort and bite, making any necessary adjustments to help ensure they feel secure and function comfortably.

4
Review and Ongoing Care

After you’ve received your dentures, we’ll arrange review appointments if needed to assess the fit, make any adjustments and provide advice on caring for your dentures and maintaining good oral health.

FAQ

Frequently Ask Questions

What's the difference between full and partial dentures?

Full dentures replace all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw, while partial dentures are designed for patients who still have some healthy natural teeth remaining.

Yes. It’s normal to need a short period of adjustment as you become accustomed to eating, speaking and smiling with your new dentures.

Dentures should be cleaned every day using suitable denture cleaning products and a soft brush. We’ll explain the best cleaning routine for your dentures during your appointment.

If your dentures no longer fit comfortably or have become damaged, it’s important to arrange an examination. We’ll assess the cause and advise whether an adjustment, repair or replacement is the most appropriate solution.
