Dentures

For many of us the privilege of getting old will also mean requiring to wear dentures, whilst this may have been something to fret about before, dentures have come a long way.

Custom-made from high-quality, natural colour acrylic material, dentures can feel and function like real teeth with similar form, surface and weight.

Dentures allow you to speak and eat normally, enhance your smile and boost your self-confidence.

Dentures can be full or partial. During your initial consultation, your dentist will assess your mouth and create a treatment plan adapted to your needs.

• Full dentures – Full dentures replace a complete row of teeth at the top or the bottom of your mouth. Complete dentures are generally secured over the gums with a dental adhesive.
• Partial dentures – Partial dentures replace missing teeth, generally secured in place by clasps attached to adjacent healthy teeth.

What is the treatment for a denture?

If a denture is right for you, your dentist will begin by taking measurements of your mouth and dental impressions of your existing teeth and gums.

The impressions are used to create your new dentures which will be made to measure by the dental laboratory. Your dentist will ensure that your dentures fit comfortably and work perfectly during your return visit.

How do I take care of dentures?

Your dentist will advise you on how to take care of your dentures for optimal function and longevity.

A good oral hygiene routine is necessary to make the most of your dentures. When you are not wearing your dentures, they should be handled with care. At the end of every day, dentures should be brushed and rinsed to dislodge food particles and bacteria.

Overnight, dentures should be placed in an antibacterial cleaning solution.
