​If you’re suffering from missing teeth, a new set of full or partial dentures will help you to regain your confidence and improve your quality of life.

What Are Dentures

Dentures are false teeth that are worn to replace missing teeth, making it easier to eat and speak.

There are three main types of dentures:

• Full dentures – these rest on your gum and replace all of the teeth in your upper or lower jaw.
• Partial dentures – these are used to replace some missing teeth and are held in place by clasps around the surrounding teeth.
• Implant-retained dentures – these are used to replace one or more missing teeth and are fitted onto implants in your jaw.

How Are Dentures Made?

After a thorough dental exam and x-rays, dentures are made in a laboratory. During your first appointment, we will take moulds of your jawbone which are used to create a custom tray which creates the impression for the denture. We then determine the bite and position of the teeth, the colour, shape and size of the denture, and we test how the denture fits in your mouth.

We will then make any necessary changes and adjustments, ensuring your denture fits perfectly and blends in seamlessly with your remaining teeth (if it is a partial denture).

Looking After Your Dentures

It may take a little while for you to get used to how your new dentures feel in your mouth. After you’ve grown accustomed to them, you will still need to make regular appointments with your dentist to ensure they still fit perfectly. It’s recommended that you brush your dentures each night with a soft toothbrush and special toothpaste. Additionally, make sure you brush your gums and tongue each day to protect your oral health.
