Dentures
This type of denture covers as little of the mouth as possible, thus minimising impact on taste and speech and reducing the effect on the remaining teeth. Dentures are removable appliances used to replace missing teeth. They can be made from various materials including nylon, acrylic or metal. There are four stages to the making of dentures and the appointments are generally 10 days apart due to the laboratory work involved. Dentures are available on the NHS, these can either be partial or full dentures and can be made from acrylic or chrome. As a private option we offer dentures which are more durable and aesthetically pleasing. These are made from superior quality materials. Through patient feedback we have found the most comfortable dentures are flexible valplast dentures. Another option is a denture secured in place with dental implants. These are called implant retained dentures and are fixed to the implants in your mouth which means they are more secure and allow you to experience almost normal functionality. Immediate dentures can be made for patients who require a tooth extraction and want to fill the space straight away.
