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:
Consultation and assessment — We examine your mouth, discuss your goals and recommend the best type of denture for you.
Impressions — We take precise moulds of your gums and any remaining teeth.
Try-in — A trial denture is created so you can check the fit, bite, shade and appearance, and we make any refinements.
Fitting — Your finished dentures are fitted, and we give you full guidance on wearing and caring for them.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
Isabelle B

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.
Anthony B
Excellent friendly practice, treatment was very good and painless, everything was explained, and great care was taken to ensure my comfort. Good ambience in the waiting room, the appointment was on time. Recommended.
Ann WR
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.
Margo L
Always delighted with the results of any treatment I receive. Face may crumble with age, but my smile shows the benefit of long years of care from Knightsfield Dental Practice.
Wendy H
Since Anita has been taking care of my teeth, I have been highly satisfied with Knightsfield Dental Practice. She is always bright, positive, caring and very clear about treatment options, which she executes professionally and well. Love my visits now.
Stuart W
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).
Nick B
Highly recommend the service at the dentist. Thoroughly professional in the explanation and treatment of my teeth. A great experience, thank you!
Clare A
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.
Steven W
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.
Karen J
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.

I am delighted with the combination of neccessary work & cosmetic improvements I have just finished with Maya at Knightsfield Dental Practice. My closed mouth smile has been replaced by a much bigger open mouth grim thanks to the confidence the improvements that Maya has designed & implemented for me, has given me. The whole friendly team, from welcoming receptionists to nurses, hygenists & dentists are fab. I would highly recommend this surgery. Thanks 'guys'
I have been with this dental practice for many years. I have good regular hygienist and check up appointments for preventative dentistry. Recently I have been very satisfied with the outcome of a treatment to address a problem. Maya was very patient and kind in helping me achieve a solution which provided a pleasing outcome.
I recently booked a consultation regarding potential orthodontic treatment using clear aligners. All the staff are very friendly and made me feel at ease and communications with them have been excellent. The subsequent examination and review of my situation was extremely thorough and professional. I have no hesitation in recommending Knightsfield Dental Practice to others.
I have been extremely happy and pleased with my treatment at Knightsfield Dental Practice from receptionists to Isira and her assistants. My treatment was extensive and I was very, very nervous at first but by the end I felt so comfortable as they were so friendly and reassuring. My before and after pictures speak for themselves.
I have been a patient at Knightsfield Dental Surgery for many years and visit every 6 months for hygienist and check up appointments. I've recently started suffering with claustrophobia which makes dental appointments difficult for me. Both Anita (hygienist) and Maya (principal dentist) are so good at accommodating me so that I feel comfortable during treatment, especially when I recently had a filling. Maya is a fantastic dentist and all the staff at the practice are so pleasant and understanding. I highly recommend this dental practice.
Just had my routine hygienist appointment with Anita. She is brilliant, very gentle and great at explaining everything. I had the airflow treatment which was painless and my teeth are now gleaming! I am very happy.
Staff is super friendly and helpful. Maya and her team helped me work out a longterm treatment plan that will cover what will need to get done without pushing for treatments that are not yet necessary.Teeth whitening is also a great option that I never thought I'd be able to do due to sensitive teeth.Would definitely recommend!
As someone with dentist phobia and that do full on anxiety attacks just from the thought of booking an appointment with a dentist and hadn't seen one in about 10years, Knightsfield Dental Practice has been a real life saver.They care, are patient and take the time to listen and find solutions for you. Over the last year, with their help, I've been able to slowly get more comfortable going to the dentist, and can now feel safe to go in alone, and don't do anxiety attacks anymore. And even as I am doing way better now, they are still very careful and take their time and adapt if any sign of anxiety during the appointment.I can't express how much I am grateful to all of them.
My wife and I have been with Maya at the Knightsfield Dental Practice for many years. We find Maya is an excellent dentist: gentle and friendly and always taking time to inform what needs to be kept an eye on and why.
I rang this morning to try and get an emergancy appointment as I was in pain. Grace answered my call and she was so helpful and understanding offering me an appointment for late afternoon. Unfortunately it was difficult time for me so Grace spoke to the practice owner and Head Dentist Maya who went out of her way to fit me in between patients for an early afternoon appointment. Maya was very thorough, going through various tests and she explained her prognosis to me in detail. She was reassuring throughout my appointment which helped me greatly as I am a very nervous patient. Thank you to everyone at Knightsfield Dental for your kindness and for fitting me in at such short notice!
I was nervous about having major restorative treatment. Maya, Jess and Sarah put me completely at ease from the moment I arrived. Maya took plenty of time to explain everything clearly and she and Jess made sure I was comfortable throughout. I felt as though nothing was too much trouble and valued their advice and reassurance. My teeth look great — I’m really pleased with the result. Highly recommend.
I recently visited Knightsfield Dental Practice and Fatima and Jess were really supportive and reassuring during my appointment. Would definitely recommend this dental practice!
I am a patient of Knightsfield Dental practice for over 10 years now. I knew when I signed up that I needed to do some dental work but I put it off for for as long as I could. It finally came the time when I had to get on with it so to speak. I was assigned to Maya who took an amazing care of me. 3 crowns, one implant and two years later I have no dental issues anymore. I was always given an appointment when I needed it urgently. I would recommend this practice without hesitation. In fact, I already did.
The practice is always a lovely place to visit. I have had a great experience with the hygienist Anita and brilliant dental treatment with Maya. Thank you to the team for your care.
My 14 year old son has had 4 teeth removed - 2 appointments 2 teeth each time and the dentist Dr Ishira and dental nurse Kirsty have put him at ease, talked him through the process and were skilled in their work. Highly professional - thankyou

What a fantastic practice! My son was absolutely terrified to enter the dental practice but Sarah on reception and our dentist, Fatima were both absolutely amazing with him and calmed him down quickly. Their customer service was some of the best I have experienced anywhere.
