Dentures In Chelsea, London

Dentures are more comfortable and natural looking than ever before and, unless you tell someone that you’re wearing dentures, they probably won’t even know. Once made and fitted, these custom-made replacements are easily put in and taken out of your mouth by you, giving you the flexibility to wear them at times that suit you.

We custom make dentures based on impressions and measurements taken of your mouth. This approach guarantees you a set of dentures that fit comfortably, give you a proper bite, and look like your natural teeth did.

Complete dentures are used when all teeth need replacing on your upper jaw, lower jaw, or both. Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain, and fit in amongst and around those remaining teeth.

Complete dentures are held in place with a gum coloured acrylic base that fits snugly over your gums. Partial dentures rest on a framework that attaches to your remaining teeth. Alternatives to partial dentures are bridges and implants. We can advise on the recommended course of action after assessing your teeth and your preferences.

Several visits to our dental clinic will be required for the fitting of and checking up of your dentures. Due to normal wear and tear, and also because, as you age, your mouth shape will naturally alter, realignments and replacements will be required may be required after 5 years. 12 month return visits are recommended.

Whilst developments in dentures have made them more comfortable than previously, they won’t feel exactly the same as natural teeth, and will take some getting used to. Eating and speaking with dentures may feel awkward for the first few weeks, but over time you’ll adjust to them and will be able to eat and speak as normal.

Looking after the highg quality dentures is straightforward. The key things to do are to always handle them with care, to clean them daily, and to leave them to soak when not in use. They can be worn all day and night if required, however, taking them out at night is advisable.
