Dentures
Dentures are used to replace several missing teeth or a full set of teeth, helping restore the look and function of your natural smile. They may be suitable if you are looking for a removable option to replace missing teeth.
What are the benefits of dentures?
- Dentures can offer several benefits, including:
- Improving the appearance of your smile
- Helping you chew and speak more comfortably
- Being removable for easy cleaning
- Providing support for remaining natural teeth
Your dentist will discuss whether dentures are suitable for you and explain the different options available.

What types of dentures are available?
Complete dentures are used when all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw are missing. They sit over your gums and are usually made from an acrylic base coloured to match your gums, with artificial teeth attached. Your dentist will take detailed measurements of your mouth so your dentures can be made to fit as comfortably as possible.
Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. They replace one or more missing teeth and are designed to fit around your existing teeth. Partial dentures are usually supported by a metal framework that helps keep them in place.

Will dentures affect my speech?
It's common to notice a short adjustment period when you first start wearing dentures, and your speech may feel slightly different at first. This usually improves as you become used to how the dentures feel in your mouth, and most people return to speaking normally with a little practice. Your dentist will be able to offer advice and reassurance during this adjustment period if needed.

How do I look after my dentures?
- Dentures need to be cleaned daily (just like natural teeth) as plaque, tartar, and stains can build up on dentures in much the same way as they can on natural teeth
- Removable dentures should be taken out and cleaned with a soft brush, and they are usually rinsed and soaked overnight using a denture-cleaning solution
- It's also important to keep your mouth clean by gently brushing your gums and tongue with a soft toothbrush and rinsing with a fluoride-free mouthwash

A dental bridge is a fixed solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. Bridges work by anchoring false teeth between neighbouring natural teeth or dental implants to fill the gap left by missing teeth.
