Dentures

What are dentures?

Dentures (also known as false teeth) are prosthetic replacements for missing teeth. There are two main types:

1. Full dentures used to replace all teeth.
2. Partial dentures used to replace one or more missing teeth when some natural teeth remain.

How are dentures made?

Our dentists will:

1. Give you a thorough dental check-up which might include X-rays.
2. Take impressions of your teeth to create custom-fitted dentures.
3. Book a follow-up appointment to give you your dentures and check they fit correctly and comfortably.

How to take proper care of your dentures

• Rinse after eating.
• Clean daily with a denture brush, mild soap and running water.
• When not wearing, soak your dentures in plain water or a denture cleanser solution – it’s important they don’t dry out.
• Dentures are very delicate, so be careful when handling.
