Treatment
Dentures
Full or partial dentures fitted and adjusted here until they actually sit right, rather than handed over and hoped for.
A removable replacement for missing teeth. A full denture replaces all the teeth in an arch, a partial fills several gaps and clasps onto the teeth you still have.
We take records of your mouth, the lab builds a trial version, and you try it in so shape, shade, and bite can be adjusted before anything is finished.
It restores chewing, speech, and the support your face loses when teeth go. A partial also stops the remaining teeth from drifting into the empty spaces.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about dentures.
Anyone missing most or all of their teeth in an arch, or several in a row where a bridge is not practical. It is also a reasonable step while saving for implants.
Several short appointments rather than one long one, because the fit is refined at each. The try-in visit is where you get a say in how they will look.
Usually four to six weeks and several visits. If teeth need removing first, we wait for the gums to heal before taking the final records.
Dentures take practice. Speaking and eating feel strange for a few weeks, and sore spots are normal at first. Adjustments are part of the process, not a sign of failure.
Expect to come back for adjustments in the first month. Take them out at night, keep them clean, and know that the bone underneath changes over years, so they need relining eventually.
