What Would You Like Help With?

Open the concern closest to yours.

Several Teeth Are Missing

A partial denture may be an option. We assess which remaining teeth can provide support, your gum health and your bite before discussing a suitable design.

All Teeth Are Missing

We assess the tissues and jaw relationship to plan a complete denture. We also discuss expected stability and whether implant-supported alternatives may suit you.

My Denture Is Loose or Sore

Bring your current denture. We check the fit, pressure points, bite and oral tissues before considering adjustment, relining, repair or replacement. Do not file or glue it yourself.

Teeth May Need Removal First

We first assess whether the teeth can be retained. If removal is needed, ask about the timing of a temporary or immediate denture and adjustments as the mouth heals.

How Partial and Complete Dentures Differ

Select a type to see which teeth it replaces and how it is supported.

Replace the teeth that are missing

A partial denture fills gaps while suitable natural teeth remain.

Support: remaining teeth and supporting tissues, depending on the design.

Daily use: remove it for cleaning and clean carefully around any clasps and natural teeth.

Your remaining teeth, gum health, supporting tissues and bite guide the choice. Both types are removable and need ongoing care.

Your Denture Treatment, Step by Step

1. Your Examination and Planning

We examine your mouth, discuss your current difficulties and agree on the treatment sequence. Bring any existing dentures and details of previous treatment.

2. Impressions and Bite Records

Impressions and bite records help us plan the denture around the shape of your mouth and the way your jaws meet.

3. Trial and Appearance Check

Where appropriate, a trial allows you and the dentist to review the proposed tooth arrangement, appearance and bite before completion.

4. Fitting and Review

We check the fit and explain insertion, removal and cleaning. Follow-up visits allow us to address pressure points and how you are managing at home.

Getting Used to Your Dentures

Eating and Speaking

Start with softer food and practise speaking aloud. Build up gradually as you become comfortable; persistent difficulty deserves a review.

Cleaning Your Denture and Mouth

Clean the denture over a towel or water-filled basin. Use a soft brush and a cleaner suitable for its material; ordinary toothpaste can scratch it. Clean your gums and any remaining teeth separately.

Removing and Storing It Overnight

Usually remove dentures for sleep, unless your dentist gives different instructions, such as immediately after tooth removal. Follow the storage advice for your denture material.

Follow-up and Fit Changes

Keep review appointments even if you have no natural teeth. Your mouth and the fit can change, so report slipping, clicking or new discomfort.

Arrange a review for persistent soreness, ulcers, looseness or damage. Do not reshape or repair your denture at home.

Questions About Living With Dentures

Will Dentures Feel Like Natural Teeth?

They can help with appearance, speech and chewing, but they feel different from natural teeth. Comfort and stability vary, and adapting takes practice.

Can a Loose Denture Be Adjusted?

Sometimes. The cause determines whether adjustment, relining, repair or a new denture is appropriate. Bring the denture to your consultation.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

Treatment usually involves several stages. The number of visits depends on your starting point, the design, any extractions and the adjustments needed.

When Does a Denture Need Replacing?

There is no single replacement date for everyone. Wear, cracks, changes in your mouth or repeated fit problems are reasons to have it assessed.

What Alternatives Can I Discuss?

Depending on your mouth, alternatives may include a bridge or implant-supported replacement. Your consultation should cover suitability, maintenance and the likely day-to-day differences.
