Our Dentures
Are you missing several teeth?
Have you considered dentures as a solution to the problem?
A denture is a removable replacement for one or more missing teeth and we offer two main options: Complete dentures to replace all of the teeth on either the upper or lower jaw or Partial Dentures which work alongside remaining healthy teeth. They are made from a variety of materials such as acrylic, metal or Valpast and we can advise at your initial consultation which product best suits your individual needs.
If you opt for dentures a series of four to five appointments, spaced ten days apart, will be necessary to craft your custom-made dentures. At each appointment we will check them in situ and make any necessary adjustments to ensure the best possible fit.
Dentures can be repaired or relined but over time your gums will alter shape or even shrink and may require replacing every five to seven years to ensure maximum comfort and efficiency.
Treatment Summary
If you have been unfortunate to lose several teeth, dentures really are a great option. Our experienced team will advise you on the best way to replace missing teeth in your individual case and will help you to understand the process in more detail.

Metal dentures
These tend to be slightly more expensive but have several advantages as they are stronger and less noticeable and require less relining than acrylic ones. As they are attached directly to the teeth they are highly stable. Those cast in chrome cobalt have the advantage of being much thinner but still
offer the same strength as thicker ones.
Acrylic dentures
These are the cheapest and most adaptable option, enabling additional replacement teeth to be added easily as and when required. However they are brittle and will break more easily. Patients tend to be more aware of them in the mouth and they need to be relined more often to ensure an
optimal fit.
Valplast dentures
Consisting of a nylon-type material, Valpalst is an ideal material for dentures. It is strong and almost unbreakable but also very light and stable providing a great base for replacement teeth. The team at Smiles are expert in creating, fitting and maintaining our clients’ dentures. From your
initial consultation, to the recommended follow up and maintenance appointments, we can help you to feel confident in your choice and comfortable in everyday life.
