Dentures & Bridges

What We Offer

Our Dentures & Bridges service provides reliable, natural‑looking solutions to replace missing teeth and restore confidence in your smile. Whether you are missing a single tooth, several teeth, or a full arch, we offer personalised options designed to improve function, appearance, and long‑term oral health.

  • Comprehensive assessment — our dentist will begin with a thorough examination to evaluate your oral health, bone structure, and bite. We take the time to understand your goals and lifestyle so we can recommend the most suitable replacement option — whether that’s dentures, bridges, or a combination approach.

  • Custom‑made dentures — dentures are a cost‑effective, versatile solution for patients who have lost several or all of their teeth. Modern dentures are far more comfortable and natural‑looking than ever before. We design each denture with careful attention to fit, stability, and facial support to help you eat, speak, and smile confidently. We offer:

    • Full dentures for complete tooth replacement

    • Partial dentures to fill individual gaps

    • Removable or semi‑permanent options depending on your need

    • Modern materials for a natural appearance and improved comfort

  • Functional, natural‑looking bridges — dental bridges are ideal for replacing a single missing tooth or a row of missing teeth. Bridges can be made from high‑quality, aesthetic materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or zirconia, creating a strong and natural‑looking result. They are securely attached to the neighbouring teeth or implants and are designed to:

    • Restore chewing comfort

    • Prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting

    • Maintain facial structure and bite balance

    • Blend seamlessly with your natural teeth

  • Comfort‑focused process — from impressions and shade selection to final fitting, we ensure the experience is calm, gentle, and fully explained. Adjustments are made as needed to achieve the best possible comfort and long‑term stability.

  • Long‑term support & maintenance — after your dentures or bridge is fitted, we provide personalised advice on care, hygiene, and follow‑up appointments. Regular reviews help keep your restoration comfortable and functioning well for years to come.

FAQ

  • Modern dentures are designed to be far more comfortable and natural‑feeling than older versions. They are custom‑made to fit the contours of your mouth, supporting your cheeks, lips, and bite.
    It may take a short adjustment period as your muscles adapt, but with proper fit and follow‑up appointments, most patients find their dentures stable and easy to wear throughout the day.

  • The lifespan varies depending on oral hygiene, bite forces, materials, and natural changes in your mouth.

    • Dentures typically last 5–8 years, sometimes longer with good care.

    • Bridges often last 10–15 years or more.
      Periodic adjustments, relining (for dentures), and regular dental check‑ups help extend longevity and maintain comfort and function.

  • Both dentures and bridges are made to restore normal chewing and speech.

    • Bridges feel very similar to natural teeth and allow you to eat comfortably and confidently.

    • Dentures may require a brief adaptation period, but most patients adjust quickly. Starting with softer foods and practicing speaking helps speed up the transition.

    We guide you through each step so you feel supported as you adapt to your new restoration.

  • Well‑fitting dentures should not move significantly during daily activities. Modern techniques — including precision impressions, improved materials, and optional denture stabilisation — help ensure a secure fit.
    If movement occurs, it’s usually due to natural changes in gum and bone shape over time, which can be corrected with a simple reline or adjustment.

  • A bridge is often recommended when you:

    • Have healthy neighbouring teeth that can support the restoration,

    • Prefer a fixed (non‑removable) option,

    • Are missing one or several teeth in a row,

    • Want a quicker and more affordable fixed solution than an implant.

    We compare all three options — bridges, implants, and dentures — so you can choose the one that best suits your oral health, goals, and budget.

  • It’s recommended to remove dentures at night to:

    • Allow your gums to rest,

    • Reduce the risk of infection or irritation,

    • Keep the fit stable long‑term.

    Night‑time removal also makes daily cleaning easier, helping maintain freshness and hygiene.

  • We provide personalised care instructions, but general guidelines include:

    • Clean dentures daily with a soft brush and denture‑safe cleanser,

    • Avoid hot water, which can warp the material,

    • Clean the gums, tongue, and any remaining teeth,

    • Use floss or interdental brushes for bridges,

    • Attend routine dental reviews to monitor fit and oral health.

    Good maintenance keeps your restoration comfortable and long‑lasting.
