What are your denture options?
Partial Dentures
Ideal for replacing multiple missing teeth in any configuration. These versatile solutions blend beautifully with your existing teeth, improving both function and aesthetics.
Complete Dentures
Perfect for replacing an entire set of missing teeth. Our custom-crafted complete dentures restore both function and appearance, using the latest retention techniques so you can eat, speak and smile with confidence.
Why see a dentist instead of a denture prosthetist?
Unlike denture prosthetists, dentists provide comprehensive oral health care. We can:
Address underlying dental and gum health issues
Integrate dental implants for enhanced stability
Ensure perfect and precise fit with your existing teeth
Monitor your overall oral health long-term
While both professionals contribute to your oral health, they bring distinct training and expertise to the table. Knowing how a dentist and denture prosthetist's roles differ empowers you to choose the right provider for your care, ensuring comfort, function and long-term satisfaction.

With proper care and regular check-ups, quality removable dentures typically last 7 to 10 years. However, your mouth naturally changes over time, so your dentures may need adjustments or relining before complete replacement. Some patients find their dentures serve them well for even longer! The key is maintaining good oral hygiene, handling them gently, and visiting us regularly so we can ensure they continue fitting comfortably and functioning beautifully.
-
Absolutely! Modern dentures are crafted to look incredibly natural and complement your facial features perfectly. We work closely with you to choose the right tooth shape, size, and colour that matches your natural appearance and personality.
-
Yes, though there's typically a brief adjustment period as your mouth gets used to your new dentures. Most patients find that eating becomes comfortable within a few weeks, starting with softer foods and gradually returning to their favourites. Speaking clearly usually happens even faster, within days for most people. We'll provide you with helpful tips and techniques to make this transition as smooth as possible, and we're always here if you need adjustments during this learning phase.
-
The complete process usually takes 4-6 weeks from your initial consultation to receiving your finished dentures. This includes several appointments for impressions, fittings, and adjustments to ensure your dentures fit comfortably and look as natural as possible.. If you need tooth extractions first, we may recommend a healing period before creating your final dentures. We know waiting can feel long when you're eager for your new smile, but this careful process ensures the best possible results.

Not at all! You can book directly with us – no referral required. We welcome patients who are exploring their options, need adjustments to existing dentures or are ready to begin their denture journey. We also offer general care and cosmetic dentistry to support your overall oral health, so you can receive comprehensive care all in one comfortable location.
-
This depends on how many natural teeth you have remaining and their overall health. If you're missing several teeth but still have healthy teeth that can be preserved, partial dentures might be perfect for filling those gaps while keeping your natural teeth. Full dentures are ideal when most or all teeth in your upper or lower jaw need to be replaced.
During your consultation, we'll thoroughly examine your mouth and discuss your goals to determine which option will give you the best function, comfort and confidence. There's no pressure – just honest guidance to help you make the right choice for your unique situation.
