Private Dentures

More Information 

There are many advantages to having dentures, they can help retain the shape to our cheeks, jaw and face which can be lost when a patient has missing teeth. They can help strengthen facial muscles, help with chewing, and prevent other teeth from drifting into the space left after extraction.

Full/Complete Dentures can be used to replace a full arch of missing teeth, we can supply patients with full dentures on either both or one of the arches.

Partial dentures are used when only one or a few teeth are missing. Clasps can be placed on partial dentures which wrap round existing teeth to help keep the denture in place.

Immediate dentures are also an option for patients who are due to have their teeth extracted and as the name suggests they are fitted immediately at the extraction appointment meaning our patients don’t need to leave the practice with missing teeth. Immediate dentures are used as a short term option for patients who don’t like the idea of having visible missing teeth when they smile however the bone can take 3-6 months to resorb following the extraction and as a result, the denture will become loose and need replacing.
