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

Denture Process
The denture process is designed to ensure a comfortable fit, natural appearance, and long-lasting function through the following steps:
-
Initial Consultation: Initial evaluation is complete and type of denture will be discussed.
- Impressions: An accurate mould will be taken of your mouth to ensure that your denture fits comfortably and securely.
-
Try-In and Adjustments: A wax version of the denture will be tried on to check for fit, bite and appearance. Adjustments made where appropriate, prior to finalising.
-
Final Denture Fitting: When the denture is completed, it is placed and we do everything that we can to make it comfortable and to ensure that it works well.
-
Aftercare Support: We will help you to take care of your denture, and if necessary, make adjustments or reline it 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.
