Your denture questions, answered
Can I eat normally with dentures?
Modern dentures are designed to restore your ability to eat a wide range of foods. It takes a little practice, but we will guide you. For patients who want to eat apples or steak with total confidence, we often recommend Dental Implants for a stronger bite.
How long do they last?
With proper care, dentures can last 5-7 years. Over time, the shape of your mouth changes, so they may need relining or replacing to maintain a perfect fit. We will check them at your regular visits.
Are there alternatives to dentures?
Yes. Many of our patients prefer a fixed solution. Dental Implants act like artificial roots, allowing us to secure a crown or bridge permanently. We can discuss both options with you honestly so you can make an informed choice.
Creating your smile: Step-by-step
1. Your Assessment
We start with a conversation about your needs. We'll check your oral health and discuss if a denture or an implant is the best solution for you.
2. Precision Moulds
We take detailed impressions of your gums to ensure the best possible suction and fit.
3. The Preview
We let you try the teeth in wax first. This allows you to approve the look and feel before we finish the denture.
4. Your New Smile
We fit your custom-made denture, making any small adjustments needed to ensure you are comfortable before you leave.
