Dentures act as a removable replacement for those wishing to find a fix for their missing teeth. They are constructed to closely mimic the appearance of natural teeth while providing the flexibility of easy removal for cleaning and maintenance.

Dentures are…

  • A cost-effective solution for a full, functional smile
  • Reliable way to replace multiple missing teeth
    • Restores your ability to chew and speak with confidence

      Gina was very self conscious of the way she was speaking and smiling especially as she deals with the public a lot. Now her confidence has tripled. Although people have definitely noticed the difference in her smile she doesn’t feel like she has a denture in.

      Types of dentures

      Dentures can be constructed using a wide array of materials. At Hampshire Dentists in Southampton, your dentist will be able to advise you on which is best suited for you.

      Acrylic dentures are made of a natural looking pink plastic base. They are cost-effective and can be quick and simple to make. Additional teeth can be added to them overtime if required.

      Despite this some people find they can be more unstable and they can be fragile or easily broken.

      Metal dentures also have a natural looking pink plastic holding the false teeth but this is attached to a metal base. Metal dentures can be made thinner if patients find acrylic dentures bulky and are stronger if you find your dentures break frequently.

      With metal dentures attachments can be added to make the denture more retentive.

      Flexible dentures attach false teeth to a base made of nylon which means they are less brittle. The use a natural looking pink plastic that is clear allowing your natural gum colour to show through.

      Flexible dentures cling to the gums around teeth as so they don’t require denture adhesive or metal clasps to hold them in place. Often patients find this type of denture more comfortable and easier to adjust to.

      Are there any alternatives?

      Alternatives to dentures include dental implants and dental bridges.

      Dental implants are fixed solutions that involve placing titanium posts into the jawbone to support artificial teeth, offering a natural look and feel with the benefit of preserving jawbone health.

      Dental bridges use neighbouring teeth as anchors to fill gaps left by missing teeth, providing a stable and fixed option. 

      You may wish to consider these options if you would prefer to avoid a removable option.

      Helen decided to make a big change after struggling with mobile teeth and a  partial denture fitting around some challenging upper teeth. She decided it was the right time to remove her remaining upper teeth and mobile lower front teeth and replace them with a upper full denture as well as a lower partial denture to give her back her full smile.

      Your questions answered

      Why choose a denture?

      Dentures are an effective, affordable solution for replacing multiple missing teeth, restoring your smile, and improving your ability to eat and speak comfortably.

      Whats involved in denture treatment?

      Your dentist will assess the situation to see if you are suitable for dentures and the best approach. At the initial examination your dentist may decide that it is necessary to remove other teeth to allow the dentures to fit and work correctly. It is also possible that your dentist may advise hygiene treatment on the gums to make sure they are up to a good standard for the procedure to work well.

      A mould will be taken of your mouth that will then go to a dental technician. Over a few appointments the dentures will be custom made to your specific requirements, with teeth and gum colour chosen to match any existing teeth and the contours of the denture formed to fit inside the mouth perfectly.

      As you get used to your new denture we will support you with follow up visits and any adjustments you may need. 

      Some important considerations

      Dentures require attention to fit, comfort, and maintenance. If you’re new to wearing dentures, it may take time to adjust, and periodic adjustments may be needed to keep them comfortable as your mouth naturally changes overtime. 

      Are dentures stable?

      The natural suction force within the mouth should keep the dentures in place. However, sometimes they may come loose while eating; for this, there are a number of fixing gels and creams that are available. If you are struggling with dentures moving your may wish to explore the option of using implants to stabilise your dentures.

      Roughly how much do dentures cost?

      The cost of dentures can vary widely depending on the number of teeth being replaced and the materials used. Our dentures can start from £624 for a simple partial denture to £1200 to replace all of your teeth with a complete denture. 

      Are dentures available on the NHS?

      Yes, dentures can be provided through the NHS, but as an independent private practice, we offer a more personalised experience. NHS dentures often have limitations in materials and customisation, while our private care provides you with a broader selection of high-quality options and a custom fit for enhanced comfort and satisfaction.
