Denture Options

Partial and full dentures are available with different materials to meet individual needs.

Partial Dentures

Replace One or Several Missing Teeth Partial dentures are ideal for patients who still have some natural teeth remaining. They help fill gaps in your smile, restore function, and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting out of place.

At Quality Dental Care, we offer partial dentures made from three materials:

Cobalt chrome partial dentures

  • Lightweight and strong
  • Metal base for durability
  • Thin and comfortable
  • Accurate fit for stability

Denture Process

The denture process is designed to ensure a comfortable fit, natural appearance, and long-lasting function through the following steps:

  • Initial Consultation: We begin with a thorough examination and discuss the type of denture best suited to your needs.
  • Impressions: Accurate moulds are taken of your mouth to ensure your denture fits comfortably and securely.
  • Try-In and Adjustments: You’ll try on a wax version of the denture to check for fit, bite, and appearance. We make adjustments as needed before finalising.
  • Final Denture Fitting: Once the denture is ready, we place it and ensure everything feels comfortable and functions properly.
  • Aftercare Support: We’ll guide you on how to care for your denture and offer adjustments or relining if needed over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How long do dentures last?
With proper care, dentures typically last 5–7 years. Over time, your jawbone and gums can change shape, so relines or replacements may be needed to maintain a proper fit.
2. What’s the most comfortable type of partial denture?
Valplast partials are often considered the most comfortable due to their flexible, metal-free design. However, cobalt-chrome dentures offer the best long-term stability.
3. Can I eat and speak normally with dentures?
Yes. It may take a few weeks to adjust, but most people quickly learn to chew, speak, and smile confidently with their new dentures.
4. Do full dentures always need adhesive?
Not necessarily. A well-fitted full denture should stay in place with suction alone. That said, some patients use adhesive for extra security, especially in the lower jaw.
5. Can I sleep with my dentures in?
We generally recommend removing your dentures at night to allow your gums to rest and to clean them thoroughly. Your dentist will advise what’s best for your case.
6. What if my denture feels loose or uncomfortable?
If your denture is irritating your mouth or feels loose, visit us for an adjustment or reline. Don’t attempt to fix it yourself, as this could damage the fit or structure.
