Dentures

Dentures have come a long way over the past few decades. Today, they’re more comfortable, custom made and created to suit the unique characteristics of your smile.

If you’re looking to replace a missing tooth, dentures can give you back your confidence, desire and ability to smile and of course, your tooth function. A removable solution to tooth loss, dentures have been popular for decades and remain so today.

Dentures: the benefits

• Having missing teeth can take its toll on your wellbeing – you may not feel much like smiling around your friends, family and colleagues. Dentures are made to look like real teeth, so others around you need not even know you have had missing teeth replaced.
• Enjoy a wider selection of food – gaps in your smile can make it challenging to eat certain things, especially tougher type of food.
• Modern dentures are made with you in mind – the focus of their design will be the natural teeth that make up your existing smile.
• Dentures can be shaped to improve the soft tissue profile of the face, giving a more youthful appearance.
• A healthy-looking smile can improve personal and professional relationships alike.
• Resolve any speech impediments caused by missing teeth.
• Removable dentures make it easy to clean in between the gaps in your teeth to keep gums healthy.

What to expect when getting dentures

We can create full arch dentures if you have lost all your teeth, or partial dentures if you still have some of your own teeth left. After an initial consultation appointment, we will take moulds of your teeth which are then used to design your perfectly-fitting dentures. Moulds of your teeth are taken and the whole process is designed to be comfortable and minimally-invasive. The moulds are then sent away to a dental laboratory, where the dentures are hand-crafted and sent back to the practice when they’re ready.

We’ll invite you back to have your dentures fitted and perform any adjustments there and then. You’ll then be ready to go and show off your new smile to the world.
