Dentures

Restoring your smile, comfort and confidence

Losing teeth — whether through decay, gum disease or injury — can affect far more than
your appearance. It can make eating and speaking more difficult, change the shape of your
face and knock your confidence. Dentures are a tried, tested and affordable way to replace
missing teeth, giving you back a natural-looking smile and the freedom to eat and talk with
ease.
At our practice, every set of dentures is custom-made to fit your mouth precisely, using
high-quality materials chosen to suit your needs, budget and lifestyle.

What are dentures?

Dentures are removable appliances that replace missing teeth and the surrounding tissue.
They can be either complete (replacing all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw) or partial
(filling the gaps where only some teeth are missing, while your remaining natural teeth stay
in place).
Modern dentures are a world away from those of the past. With advances in materials and
design, today’s dentures are lighter, more comfortable, more secure and far more lifelike
than ever before.

Types of dentures we offer

We offer a range of denture options so we can recommend the most suitable solution for
you:

Acrylic dentures — A traditional and cost-effective choice. Made from a durable acrylic base
coloured to match your gums, with realistic-looking teeth set into it. Suitable for both full
and partial sets, and easy to adjust or add to in future.


Cobalt chrome metal dentures
— Built around a strong, slimline metal framework. Because
the metal is thinner than acrylic, these dentures are more comfortable, less bulky and allow
you to taste food more naturally. They are particularly well suited to partial dentures,
clipping securely onto your existing teeth.

Flexible nitrile dentures — A metal-free, flexible alternative that’s prized for its comfort and
discreet appearance. The gum-coloured clasps blend in naturally, with no visible metalwork,
making them an excellent aesthetic option for partial dentures.


Acetal dentures — A strong, lightweight and biocompatible metal-free option, ideal for
patients with metal sensitivities or those who prefer a flexible yet sturdy denture with a
natural look.

The treatment process

Getting dentures usually takes place over a few appointments to ensure the perfect fit:

  1. Consultation and assessment — We examine your mouth, discuss your goals and
    recommend the best type of denture for you.
  2. Impressions — We take precise moulds of your gums and any remaining teeth.
  3. Try-in — A trial denture is created so you can check the fit, bite, shade and
    appearance, and we make any refinements.
  4. Fitting — Your finished dentures are fitted, and we give you full guidance on wearing
    and caring for them.
  5. Review and adjustments — We see you for a follow-up to make sure everything
    feels comfortable, fine-tuning as needed.

The benefits of dentures

 A natural-looking smile tailored to your face
 Improved ability to eat and chew a wider range of foods
 Clearer, more confident speech
 Support for facial muscles, helping prevent a “sunken” appearance
 A removable, easy-to-clean and affordable solution
 Options to suit different budgets, needs and preferences

Caring for your dentures

Looking after your dentures keeps them comfortable, hygienic and long-lasting:
 Rinse and brush them daily with a soft brush and non-abrasive denture cleaner —
not standard toothpaste, which can be too harsh.
 Soak them overnight in a denture-cleaning solution to keep them moist and remove
bacteria.
 Handle them over a folded towel or a bowl of water to avoid breakage if dropped.
 Continue cleaning your gums, tongue and any remaining natural teeth.
 Attend regular check-ups so we can monitor the fit and the health of your mouth.


It’s normal for dentures to feel slightly unusual at first. Most people adjust within a few
weeks, and we’re always here to help if anything feels uncomfortable.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. How long do dentures last?
    With good care, dentures typically last between 5 and 10 years. Over time, the natural
    changes in your gums and jawbone can affect the fit, so your dentures may need adjusting,
    relining or replacing to keep them comfortable.
  2. Will my dentures look natural?
    Yes. Your dentures are custom-made and we carefully match the shape, size and shade of
    the teeth — and the colour of the gum — to give a natural, lifelike result that suits your
    face.
  3. Are dentures uncomfortable to wear?
    There’s usually a short adjustment period of a few days to a few weeks while your mouth
    gets used to them. Some people notice a little soreness or extra saliva at first, but this
    settles. If any discomfort continues, we can adjust the fit.
  4. Can I eat normally with dentures?
    You’ll be able to eat a wide variety of foods, though we recommend starting with soft foods
    cut into small pieces and chewing slowly on both sides. With a little practice, most foods
    become much easier to manage.
  5. Will dentures affect my speech?
    Some people find certain words tricky at first. Reading aloud and practising speaking usually
    helps you adapt quickly, and your speech should return to normal within a short time.
  6. Should I take my dentures out at night?
    We generally recommend removing them overnight to give your gums a chance to rest and
    to keep the dentures clean by soaking them. We’ll give you personalised advice based on
    your situation.
  7. What’s the difference between a partial and a full denture?
    A full (complete) denture replaces all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw, while a partial
    denture fills the gaps left by one or more missing teeth and clips around your remaining
    natural teeth.
  8. Which type of denture is best for me?
    That depends on how many teeth you’re replacing, your budget, comfort preferences and
    whether you have any metal sensitivities. We’ll talk you through the options at your
    consultation and recommend the most suitable choice.
  9. How do I clean my dentures?
    Brush them daily with a soft brush and a denture cleaner, soak them overnight in a cleaning
    solution, and avoid hot water or abrasive toothpaste. Keep cleaning your gums and any
    remaining teeth too.
  10. Can dentures be repaired if they break or stop fitting well?
    Yes. Dentures can often be repaired, relined or adjusted rather than fully replaced. If yours
    feel loose, cracked or uncomfortable, get in touch and we’ll take a look.

I recently had some dental issues with broken teeth and saw Maya for a check-up. Maya gave me options to get my teeth repaired, and I now have 2 lovely new white fillings. I had also misplaced my denture, and Maya made me a new one, which fits so well and is so comfortable. The treatment from start to finish was explained in detail, and I’m really happy with the final results. I highly recommend this dental practice and am pleased to have found such a friendly, helpful team.

Today I had the ‘pleasure’ of a shiny new filling by Nishma, who has become a bit of a household name around here! The kids love her, and now, I have to pretend to be “Dentist Daddy” when brushing their teeth (inspired by Nishma)!

Zero pain.
100% friendliness.
On time.
In and out in 30 minutes.

As always, a lovely experience. Well, aside from the bill, I guess, but thanks to the UK Govt, we have to pay for dental treatment these days, and Nishma’s expertise comes at a fair and appropriate cost. Thanks, Nishma (and your lovely colleague) for a smooth experience (and smooth filling too)!

So grateful for the care and attention given at this practice every time I attend. Most recently to Maya, Ishira and Sarah for their patience, care in getting me seen and treated as quickly as possible. The phone call to check on me the next day is such a lovely touch; I have never had that at any other dental practice before. Highly recommend this practice!

Recently changed my dentist to a local one and I have found all the staff here very friendly, caring and most importantly, understanding in terms of my ongoing oral health care. Treatment has been exceptional, easy and importantly pain pain-free and appropriate. Thank you, Anita, Maya and the team.

Totally recommend this Dental Surgery! Maya and her team were very professional and kind. I cannot express how grateful I am to have new crowns and a bridge so that I can smile with confidence. They talked me through every stage, and the final result was brilliant.

I had an old filing replaced. The procedure was delivered very well, and in a nice, calm atmosphere. The anaesthetic took quite a long time to ease off – more like 4 hours before I could feel my bottom lip and cheek, but I’d rather that than feel the procedure (which I didn’t).

I had an old filling that had to be replaced, and I had the treatment today. I can honestly say it was the most relaxing treatment; I didn’t feel a thing, and the dentist and her dental nurse were brilliant.

My treatment was concisely explained from start to finish, including aftercare. I was reminded of each appointment both by phone and email. The professionalism and diligence of Maya, Sarah and all staff were faultless.

I had to go to this practice as an emergency, being a very nervous patient, I can not tell you how nice they were. The dentist informed me of what treatment should be done, and the dental nurse was lovely and held my hand throughout the tooth extraction; they even gave me a coping strategy to use. Cannot recommend them enough, all staff were lovely and friendly.
