Denture technology has improved greatly in recent years & there are now many more options available than has been the case in the past. Dentures may be what we term ‘Partial’ Dentures which may be used to replace anything from a single tooth to a number of teeth; or they may be what we term ‘Full’, or ‘Complete’ Dentures which are used to replace all of the teeth in either the upper or lower jaw (or both).
Dentures may also be made of acrylic (a plastic resin), or in some cases Cobalt Chrome (a metal alloy). With a Cobalt Chrome denture, the framework consists of a very thin precision casting to which the replacement teeth & acrylic are attached. Patients often prefer the feel of alloy dentures as they can be made in a thinner section than is the case with acrylic dentures. Being metal they also conduct heat better than acrylic which can lead to them having a more natural feel. However, there are limitations & this type of denture may not be suitable for everyone.
Dentures may also vary in terms of quality, & we offer many choices to suit your individual requirements from ‘economy’ dentures all the way to the very best Cosmetic Dentures.
Cosmetic Dentures may also be made of either acrylic or chrome alloy and will employ the very best ‘Ivoclar’ teeth from Liechtenstein. These teeth provide the most natural appearance possible so that nobody will even know you are wearing dentures!

Properly caring for your dentures is essential for keeping them looking their best and avoiding serious oral health problems. The first step in denture care is to properly brush the dentures daily with a soft toothbrush or speciality denture brush. Brush thoroughly, but gently, using a non-abrasive soap or denture paste.
