Why do I need a denture?
A denture is a removable dental appliance that replaces the appearance and function of one or more missing teeth. During long-term treatments such as dental implants, they are also helpful as a temporary solution.
What types of dentures are available?
We are fortunate to have a wide variety of dentures to choose from. Generally, dentures can be classified into two main categories: full and partial dentures. Partial dentures are designed to replace one or more of the natural teeth left on your arch, while full dentures replace all of your teeth.
What are dentures made from?
Dentures are usually made from dental acrylic in part. Dental acrylic is available in several colours, allowing us to use materials that closely match your natural teeth’s shade.
You may want to consider a cobalt chrome denture, which has a metal frame on which the artificial teeth are mounted. These dentures are thinner and more comfortable, especially for those not accustomed to wearing dentures.
How long will it take to make my dentures?
It usually takes 4-6 weeks to create a bespoke set of dentures.In order to get your dentures made, you will have two sets of moulds made, as well as bite measurements and a trial denture to ensure you are happy with the fit and shade before receiving your new teeth.
