Dentures – what they are used for?
Dentures provide one of the replacement options for missing teeth, often known as ‘false teeth’ or a ‘plate’. They are usually made from acrylic, sometimes in combination with a metal framework. Complete dentures replace a full set of missing teeth, whereas partial dentures work in combination with natural teeth.
At Infinity Dental Clinic we use the latest and most state-of-the-art technology to provide our patients with the highest standards of care in Cosmetic Dentistry. We will make sure you are aware of all the available options to replace your missing teeth.
Why choose a denture?
A denture replace missing teeth, improving the appearance by filling the gap. A partial denture may also help prevent adjacent and opposing teeth drifting out of position after an extraction.
A denture can help reduce sagging of the cheeks and lips by replicating the underlying bone and gum structure preventing a sunken appearance.
Types of Denture
Implant Retained Dentures
By placing a small number of dental implants, it is possible to secure a denture in place, without the need to use fixative. This type of denture is the most secure.
Cobalt Chrome (Metal) Dentures
These have a metal framework and so are lighter, thinner and stronger than acrylic dentures. They can clip onto the natural teeth to improve retention.
Compressed Acrylic Dentures
High quality material with improved retention and a more natural, bespoke appearance.
Flexible Valplast® Dentures
These are flexible partial dentures. They mould between the teeth and gums avoiding the need for metal clasps or full coverage of the palate. These dentures are usually very well fitting.
Acrylic Dentures
Standard acrylic dentures available on the NHS.
What should I expect?
It takes on average four appointments to construct your denture. This will include impressions, a ‘try-in’ stage, and when you are happy the final fit. Each stage will be explained to you by your Dentist.
Do you suffer from loose dentures?
Implant retained dentures are an alternative to standard removable dentures.
Implant retained dentures are ideal for anyone suffering from loose or ill-fitting dentures and can be life-changing. They offer peace of mind so you can avoid embarrassing situations where your removable denture may let you down. They are a cost effective way of replacing multiple missing teeth compared to a full set of dental implants.
