Treatments / Dentures
Dentures are custom-made removable appliances designed to fit comfortably over your gums and replace some or all of your missing teeth.
Modern dentures are carefully crafted to look natural, support your lips and cheeks, and improve your ability to eat, speak and smile with confidence.
Whether you are missing a few teeth or a full arch, dentures can help restore both the appearance and function of your smile.
Full Dentures are made to replace all of your teeth, Partial Dentures to replace some of your teeth.
ACRYLIC
Relatively easy to modify if you subsequently lose more teeth
Better option if you have periodontal disease
Cheaper
METAL
Generally offer more support
Covers less of the palate (roof of mouth)
Can be made thinner due to increased strength.
Improved taste of foods
Clasps are used to hold the denture to adjacent teeth to increase their stability and retention, giving increased confidence.
NOT a good option if you have periodontal disease
Only suitable if you have good oral hygiene
For patients seeking a more discreet option, denture frameworks can be made from high-performance tooth-coloured polymers.
These modern materials are lightweight, flexible and highly aesthetic, providing a more natural appearance than traditional metal frameworks.
Modern dentures can look incredibly natural.
Every denture is custom-made to suit your facial features, smile and preferences. Together, we will carefully select the shape, size and shade of the teeth, to create a natural and harmonious appearance. Whether you would like your dentures to closely replicate your original teeth or enhance your smile, I can tailor the design to achieve the look you want. Photographs of your previous smile, old dentures or even pictures from earlier in life can be helpful when designing your new dentures.
Well-designed dentures should support your lips and cheeks, helping to restore facial shape and reduce the sunken appearance that can occur after tooth loss. Many patients tell me that friends and family cannot tell they are wearing dentures.
My goal is simple: to create dentures that allow you to smile, eat and speak with confidence.
