What are Dentures?

Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth. They resemble natural teeth and can enhance both function and appearance.

There are various options to choose from, and with newer materials and designs available, dentures are more comfortable and natural looking than ever before.

There are two main types of dentures:

  • Complete dentures which replace all of the patient’s natural teeth
  • Partial dentures which are used when some natural teeth remain

Dentures can be a very viable solution for those with few remaining teeth. We will talk you through the various options, including the pros and cons, materials and types of dentures that may be right for you.

Full and Partial Dentures Benefits

Wondering whether dentures are the right option for you? Here are the biggest reasons why so many patients choose dentures:

  • Dentures are an ideal option for people with few or no teeth, allowing their smile to look and feel normal again.
  • Dentures are very sturdy, long lasting and often only require replacement or alterations due to changes in the mouth itself.
  • Dentures allow people with multiple missing teeth to regain the ability to eat and chew without problems.
  • Dentures are easy to maintain.
  • Dentures are flexible, making them easy to fit into and remove from the mouth.
  • The same foods can be consumed as before with the exception of very hard and very sticky foods.

Things to Know Before Getting Dentures

Despite the apprehension some patients may have about dentures and this removable tooth option, there are in fact very few downsides to having dentures. Here are the key facts every patient should know:

  • Dentures need to be taken out of your mouth at night and left to rest in a glass of cold water.
  • Dentures should be brushed like normal teeth however this should be done before placing them back in your mouth to guarantee a more thorough clean.
  • Your gums and remaining teeth will change as you get older, therefore, the shape of your dentures will need to change or be replaced about every 5 years to suit.
  • Eating with dentures can feel a little strange at first however this feeling will likely subside once you’re more familiar with them.
  • Some people are unable to feel comfortable wearing dentures and do not like the movement of dentures in their mouth. Denture implants may be a more suitable option for these individuals.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

A number of steps are needed to create and fit your first set of dentures.

First, your dentist will confirm with you the reasons why you’ve chosen dentures and gain an understanding of your expectations, whether they be related to aesthetics or functionality. Once you’re happy to go ahead, your dentist will advise if the removal of any teeth is required.

The next step involves taking a mould impression of your mouth, as well as bite moulds to check your biting action, so that a set of dentures can be tailor-made for you. At this stage, you will also get to choose the shape and colour of your new teeth. Once your dentures are created and fitted correctly, your dentist will give you instructions on how to care for them.

You can expect to make 4 to 5 appointments with our dentist over a six-week period. Multiple appointments are required to ensure the dentures are made correctly and will fit perfectly into your mouth.

Denture Implants

Along with standard removable dentures, denture implants are another viable option. Denture implants, also known as an implant retained dentures, are a permanent fixture that restore your missing teeth and act as a replacement for your teeth. This is a suitable option for anyone who would prefer a more permanent alternative to standard dentures.

Denture implants are more reliable and firmly secured into place, therefore, they won’t come loose like traditional dentures when eating certain foods. Many patients also remark that denture implants are more comfortable, feeling more like natural teeth.
