Restore function and confidence with dentures.

Dentures

Dentures can be used for several reasons, including:

  • If you have a missing tooth/teeth.
  • You wish to improve the overall appearance of your mouth.
  • You want to improve your ability to bite and chew.
  • You want to have a longer-lasting solution for your dental needs.

A denture is a removable prosthesis used to replace one or more missing teeth. Complete dentures are made of acrylic (plastic). Partial dentures can also be made wholly of acrylic. Alternatively, they may consist of acrylic teeth on a light metal alloy base: this type of partial denture is more secure and less bulky, but also more expensive. Depending on your dental needs, you may require a partial denture to replace some missing teeth or a complete denture to replace all natural teeth on the upper, lower or both. Having a good set of dentures will enable you to speak, eat, and drink well and can often improve a person’s appearance.

After an initial consultation or examination, subsequent visits to the dental practice will include taking dental impressions, bite registration, fitting and reviews.

What will my dentist do?

  • The dentist used a putty-like material to make moulds of your mouth, called ‘impressions’. A dental technician uses them to make models for the denture to be built on. Second impressions may be taken to provide a more accurate fit.
  • The technician makes wax blocks which fit the model. The dentist puts these in your mouth to record the position of your jaws in relation to each other. The dentist then trims and seals the wax blocks to show the technician how your teeth should bite together, and the shape to make the denture.
  • A trial denture is made and put in your mouth. The dentist will ask you how it fits, feels and looks before they make any final changes.
  • The trial denture then goes back to the technician, who permanently fixes the teeth. The next visit consists of placing the finished denture in your mouth, adjusting the final fit and providing instructions on how to look after your dentures.

What are the benefits?

  • If you have lost some teeth, dentures can improve the way you look, bite, chew and speak.
  • They are custom-made to match your mouth and can be made to look as natural as possible.
  • The teeth that are left are protected from wear and tear. Without dentures, the natural teeth may move or tilt, stopping your teeth from biting together properly.
  • Dentures should be fitted immediately after the front teeth have been removed so that nobody will know that you had a tooth out. These are called ‘immediate’ dentures. Immediate dentures will gradually lose their fit over 12 months, and a dentist will need to see you during this time. Further visits will involve possible relining of the denture to improve the fit.
