Strong and beautifully aesthetic replacement teeth
Removable dentures are a stable, effective and natural-looking way to replace missing teeth and restore your full smile. They can boost your confidence, improve how you eat and speak, and enhance and support your facial shape. Partial dentures replace a few missing teeth, while complete dentures replace a full set of upper or lower teeth.

Why have dentures?
If you are missing a single tooth or multiple teeth, dentures provide a strong and aesthetic option to complete your smile. They are made of acrylic, or a combination of acrylic and metal for added strength, creating a secure restoration that truly looks like the real thing.
Replacing a full set of teeth with complete dentures provides vital support to your facial structure, keeping it from prematurely sagging around your cheeks and jaw. Partial dentures help your remaining natural teeth stay in position, stopping them moving and causing you problems with misalignment.
Get in touchWhat does having dentures involve?
- The dentures process can be quite involved, with several appointments needed to ensure your final set of dentures are secure and comfortable. We begin with a comprehensive consultation, where we assess your case and ask about your ideal results.
- We take scans and images of your mouth, which are used to create a model denture. We check and adjust the model for fit, bite and comfort, making sure you are completely happy with the look and feel of your custom denture.
- Your final set of dentures is made in a specialist laboratory. When it is ready, we invite you for a fitting appointment. Complete dentures are a gum-coloured arch with a set of teeth attached, and fit snugly in the top or bottom of your mouth. Partial dentures are often held in place with hooks attached to your existing natural teeth.
- It can take a little while to get used to your new dentures, so we give you some tailored tips and advice to help.
Frequently asked questions
Dentures are designed to be hard-wearing, but they will last longer if you treat them with care. Dentures should be removed before you go to bed so your gums can have a rest, but they must be stored in water or denture fluid as they could lose their shape if allowed to dry out.
