If you have been wearing dentures for some years, you will see how much denture designs have enhanced and improved for everything from smiling and chewing to kissing, biting, and laughing.
Treatment time: 3-4 appointments.
Purpose: To replace missing teeth/old dentures that no longer fit your mouth, gums, and jaw.
Results: A healthier mouth/improved chewing capacity/a more attractive smile.
Anaesthetic and drilling: No.
Suitable for: Patients with 2 more missing teeth/patients who are experiencing gum irritation from old dentures.
Step 1: Consultation to assess your teeth and discuss your options. We may need to obtain a CBCT scan of your mouth, in addition to photographs, if an infection is present.
Step 2: Extraction (if needed).
Step 3: Impressions of your upper and lower teeth are taken to give the dental technician an exact mould to work with. This will give them the necessary measurements to create dentures that fit your jaw and gum line. The shade, colour and size of each tooth will be determined.
Step 4: Trial the smile of a set of wax dentures. Small alterations can be made to the final design at this stage.
Step 5: Fitting appointment (should no alternations need to have been made). We will show you how easy your dentures are to remove and reapply.
Dentures are one of the most cost-effective and viable ways to address the loss of multiple teeth. However, if you’re looking for the ultimate solution, we recommend implant-retained dentures, which take the level of stability and chewing function to another level. Implants secure a set of dentures in place, so there is absolutely no risk of your dentures moving around in your mouth.
Whilst it’s difficult to predict an exact lifespan for your dentures, they can last for between 10 and 20 years. Their longevity will depend on how well you look after them and your lifestyle and dietary habits. Rest assured, our dentists will provide you with the relevant long- and short-term aftercare advice to help you look after them correctly.
Our dental practitioners have knowledge in working on a diversity of cases. Whether you need to replace old dentures or you haven’t worn dentures before, we can help.
We work closely with top-end dental laboratories and technicians to meet the high standards our patients expect.
Our close collaborative approach means every specification is closely met, down to the precise size, width and contour of each tooth that makes up your dentures.
Our aim is to provide our patients with all of the information they need in order to make an informed decision on the type of dentistry that they would like.
