At Brandon Dental Clinic, we understand that missing teeth can have a significant impact on your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. That’s why our bespoke dentures offer a comfortable, natural-looking, and cost-effective solution to restore your oral function. If you’re considering a treatment or comparing options, our team is here to guide you every step of the way.
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are removable dental appliances crafted to replace missing teeth in one or both jaws. They come in three main types:
- Complete (full) dentures: Used when all teeth in an arch are missing.
- Partial dentures: Designed for patients who still have some natural teeth; they restore gaps and help prevent teeth from shifting.
- Implant-supported dentures: These attach to dental implants, offering a secure fit and enhanced chewing ability.
Types of Dentures
- Chrome dentures: Durable metal framework with acrylic teeth—great for strength and longevity.
- Acrylic dentures: Lightweight and affordable, ideal as an interim solution or for full arches.
- Valplast (flexible) dentures: Made from flexible nylon; they snap over existing teeth for a discreet and comfortable fit.
Benefits of Choosing Dentures
- Restored function: Enables comfortable eating and speaking again.
- Improved aesthetics: Custom-made to match your smile and facial contour.
- Cost-effective: A more affordable alternative compared to full dental implant routes.
- Easy to maintain: Simple daily care ensures longevity and hygiene.
Step-by-Step Denture Process
- Consultation
We start with an in-depth exam and discussion about your needs and lifestyle to determine the best denture type. Impressions are taken to craft custom appliances. - Fabrication
Using your impressions, our lab creates your dentures with careful attention to comfort, function, and appearance. The process typically takes a few weeks. - Fitting
At your fitting, we fine-tune the dentures to ensure a secure fit and natural bite. Implant-supported options may be adjusted for optimal attachment to dental implants. - Follow-Up Care
Regular check-ups help us monitor fit, adjust as needed, and address any soreness or wear.
Caring for Your Dentures
- Daily cleaning: Rinse and gently brush with a soft toothbrush—avoid abrasive toothpaste.
- Overnight soak: Keep dentures in a soaking solution to maintain shape and cleanliness.
- Regular dental visits: Essential to catch early problems and keep a healthy mouth.
Dentures vs. Dental Implants
While dentures offer an excellent and affordable route to a complete smile, dental implants—titanium posts anchored into your jaw—provide a more permanent fix that preserves bone and delivers more natural chewing performance. Implant-supported dentures combine the best of both, offering the security of implants with the flexibility of dentures.
Is Implant-Supported Denture Right for You?
Consider implant-supported dentures if you want:
- A more stable, slip‑free fit
- Bone health preservation
- Improved chewing strength
- A hybrid of traditional dentures and full dental implants
We use the latest dental implant technology to discuss your options, ensuring you receive the best match for your needs.
