Dentures are a removable dental device that can be worn in place of damaged or lost teeth.
Recent developments in dental technology allow for dentures to fit perfectly over dental implants. Many patients do choose to install a few dental implants to provide a permanent, trustworthy anchor for their dentures.
Modern dentures are extremely realistic. Our staff works to match the gum shade to your natural gums as well as pick a tooth colour that complements your skin tone.
Once you become accustomed to wearing your dentures, you should have no issues speaking, eating or drinking as you normally would. This is especially true when dental implants are utilised as anchors for dentures.
Just like natural teeth, dentures collect food particles and bacteria. If not cleaned and properly removed, infections and other oral health issues could potentially develop.
Dentures should be removed and cleaned after every meal, with a speciality denture cleanser recommended by our dentists or by a standard toothbrush and denture cleanser. In addition to cleaning your dentures after every meal, they should be cleaned before placing them in your mouth in the morning and after taking them out for the night.
From £795, or £755 on our practice plan. A partial plate that replaces two teeth isn’t the same job as a full set top and bottom, and the material changes things too. We write the figure down for you before anything’s made.
They can. Two or more implants in the jaw, and the denture clicks onto them, so no more slipping when you’re mid-sentence or biting into an apple. It’s dearer than a standard denture. For a lot of people the extra is worth it, though. Our dental implants page explains how it works.
It takes a little while, to be fair. Most folk have stopped thinking about them by week three. At first, it’ll feel like you’ve got a gobstopper in. Words with lots of S’s can whistle a bit (reading the paper out loud to yourself sorts that quicker than you’d think). Scrambled eggs, soup, fish: easy stuff to begin with. Got a spot that rubs? Come back. Ten minutes with us beats a fortnight of ulcers.
Out, please. Your gums have been squashed under plastic all day, and they’d like the night off. Brush the plate, then into a glass of water (or water with one of those fizzy cleaning tabs) it goes. Don’t leave it lying out dry on the sink. They can bend out of shape like that, and a bent plate won’t sit right again.
