What are Dentures?
Effective tooth replacement that restores function and confidence
Although implants are the treatment of choice for replacing teeth, dentures can be an effective way of replacing teeth for some patients. They will let you speak, eat, and smile normally. As with all treatments, we will discuss your options and associated costs, leaving you to make the final choice.
A removable denture can replace some or all teeth. It consists of replacement teeth attached to a gum-coloured plastic base, which is sometimes held by a metal framework that can give more strength. A denture will also prevent other teeth from moving into gaps left by missing teeth.
Types of Dentures Available
- Acrylic Dentures (from £550): Full plastic base, comfortable and affordable
- Chrome Dentures (from £700): Metal framework for extra strength and durability
- Flexible Acrylic Dentures (from £700): Flexible material for enhanced comfort
The Denture-Making Process
Dentures normally take four visits over a number of weeks to make, ensuring a perfect fit and natural appearance:
- 1.Initial Impressions: The dentist takes impressions of your mouth, which the laboratory uses to create a special tray and wax blocks.
- 2.Detailed Measurements: The special tray is used to take more detailed impressions. Wax blocks give accurate measurements of how you bite together.
- 3.Trial Fitting: Trial dentures are fitted for appearance and fit. If both the dentist and patient are happy, they're sent back to the laboratory.
- 4.Final Fitting: The dentist fits your completed dentures and makes any necessary adjustments. You'll receive full instructions on wearing and caring for your dentures.
What to Expect
New dentures can feel a little odd for a short time, but this normally resolves itself after a few weeks once the cheeks and tongue get used to keeping them in place and you become comfortable inserting and removing them. Dentures will give you your smile back!
