How are dentures made?
- The dentist will examine your mouth to determine the need for dentures.
- It will involve an assessment of your mouth’s suitability including the healthiness of your gums.
- The dentist will make an impression of your gums to construct your dentures.
Trial dentures are made by skilled technicians and returned to us to check. These are then tried in the mouth to check for fit, comfort and excellent appearance. We can modify the dentures if needed and once you are entirely happy these are converted into the finished set, the process normally takes 4 to 5 visits with each a week apart.
The dentures which have been made to closely match the natural teeth are then fitted to greatly improve the look of your smile.
What are the types of Dentures?
Complete Dentures – A Complete Denture is used to replace all the teeth in upper and lower Jaws.
Partial Dentures – Partial Dentures are used to replace a few missing teeth to avoid the existing natural teeth shifting into the space where the teeth are missing. Partial dentures can be fixed or removable.

Our Family Dentistry Services
If you need a filling or have the onset of tooth decay, please contact us immediately. Not only can we help clean and protect the tooth in question from further damage, but we can also provide white `tooth coloured` fillings, providing you with a great aesthetic and functional solution in no time.
We work hard to help keep your teeth and gums clean and healthy. This is important to help avoid gum disease, periodontal disease, and loss of teeth. Our professional and experienced hygienists team are always on hand to help and provide further information and advice surrounding oral hygiene.
If you suffer from long-term gum inflammation or gingivitis, it’s essential to contact us as soon as possible. If left untreated over a long period, gum inflammation can lead to periodontal disease, which can lead to teeth becoming loose as the bone supporting the tooth is affected. In such cases, you must get preventative treatment before teeth start falling out.
Looking for Dental implants? You could have lost one tooth, several teeth or all your natural teeth; this can affect your smile, your ability to eat your favourite foods, your self-esteem and your health.
Whether you've lost all of your teeth or just a single tooth, dentures can provide the perfect tooth replacement solution without being permanently fixed. Made from acrylic or a mixture of acrylic and cobalt-chromium, dentures are functional, comfortable, and practical.
