Dentures
Comfortable, confident, properly fitted.
A bad set of dentures can make life miserable — slipping, sore spots, embarrassment. A good set, fitted with care, lets you eat what you want and smile without thinking twice. We take the time to get it right.
Options that suit your situation
Full dentures
A complete set when all natural teeth in an arch are missing.
Partial dentures
Fill in gaps where some natural teeth remain. Removable and discreet.
Implant-supported
Clipped onto a few strategically placed implants for a secure, slip-free fit.
FAQs
Questions people usually ask
How long does it take to get used to new dentures?
Most people need a few weeks to adjust. Speech and eating feel strange at first, and sore spots are common in the early days — we adjust the fit at follow-up visits until they feel comfortable.
Can I eat normally with dentures?
You can eat most things, but it takes practice. Start with softer foods cut into smaller pieces, and chew on both sides evenly. Very hard or sticky foods may always be tricky with conventional dentures — implant-supported dentures handle them better.
How long do dentures last?
A well-made set typically lasts 5 to 10 years before needing replacement or relining. Your gums and jawbone change shape over time, so periodic adjustments keep the fit comfortable.
Are implant-supported dentures worth the extra cost?
For people who struggle with slipping or sore spots from conventional dentures, yes — they clip onto a few implants and stay put. The trade-off is higher upfront cost and a longer treatment timeline. We talk through both options at your assessment.
How much do dentures cost?
Costs vary widely depending on the type — full, partial, or implant-supported — and the materials used. We provide a clear, itemised quote at your assessment so you know exactly what is included.
How do I clean my dentures?
Brush them daily with a soft brush and denture cleaner (not regular toothpaste — it is too abrasive). Soak overnight in water or a denture solution. Rinse after meals when possible, and bring them to your check-ups so we can inspect the fit.
