Custom Dentures Crafted for Natural
Comfort and Confidence

We provide full (complete) dentures for patients who have lost all teeth in one or both arches; partial dentures where some natural teeth remain; immediate dentures fitted on the day of extraction so that you are never without teeth during the healing period; and implant-supported dentures for patients who want the stability and permanence of a fixed solution. The appropriate type depends on the extent of tooth loss, bone volume, and your individual preferences.

Conventional dentures typically involve four to six appointments spread over three to six weeks, depending on complexity. Immediate dentures can be placed on the same day as extractions, though these are provisional — a definitive replacement is made once the gum tissue has healed and the ridge has stabilised, typically three to six months later. We will give you a precise timeline at your initial consultation.

Yes. Modern dentures fabricated from high-quality materials by specialist dental laboratories can be virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. Tooth shade, shape, and arrangement are selected with reference to your facial structure, remaining natural teeth (where present), and aesthetic preferences. The wax try-in stage allows you to review and refine appearance before the final prosthesis is made — you will not receive something you have not seen and approved.

Some adjustment is normal when wearing dentures for the first time. Minor soreness, increased saliva production, and slight changes to speech are expected and typically resolve within a few weeks as you adapt. Any significant pressure points are addressed at your review appointments. A well-fitted denture should not cause persistent pain — if it does, this should be assessed promptly rather than tolerated.

Remove and clean your dentures daily using a soft denture brush and denture-specific cleaning product — not regular toothpaste, which is abrasive and will damage the surface over time. When not worn, store in water or a denture soaking solution to prevent drying and distortion. Handle them over a folded towel or basin of water to cushion any accidental drops. Your natural gum tissue and any remaining teeth should also be cleaned gently each day.

With good care, conventional dentures typically last five to eight years, though relining may be required sooner as the jawbone changes shape following tooth loss. Fit should be reviewed annually — dentures that no longer fit correctly should not be worn without assessment, as an ill-fitting prosthesis accelerates bone loss and can cause soft tissue damage over time.

Implant-supported dentures attach to dental implants placed in the jawbone, rather than resting on the gum surface and relying on suction or adhesive for retention. They offer significantly greater stability during eating and speaking, prevent the progressive bone loss that occurs beneath a conventional denture, and eliminate the need for removal and adhesive application. They require a more involved clinical process but represent a meaningful, long-term improvement in function and quality of life for most suitable patients.

In most cases, yes. Suitability for implant-supported restoration depends on the volume and density of the remaining jawbone, general health, and other clinical factors. Bone grafting may be required where bone volume is insufficient. We offer a formal consultation and assessment pathway for patients wishing to explore this transition, and are able to provide a staged plan for those who want to proceed.
