Dentures
Dentures are removable prosthetic teeth that replace some or all of your natural teeth, custom-made from acrylic resin. Complete dentures suit a full mouth of missing teeth; partial dentures work alongside teeth you still have, and both are fitted and adjusted at your practice until they feel right.
What it is and who it's for
Dentures are removable prosthetic teeth, made from acrylic resin, that replace missing teeth and the surrounding tissue. Complete dentures suit patients missing a full arch of teeth; partial dentures suit patients who still have some natural teeth remaining.

Common questions
How long do dentures last?
Looked after properly, dentures can last 7 to 10 years or more, though they may need adjusting or replacing over time as your mouth changes shape.
Will dentures affect my speech or eating?
Yes, to begin with. Getting used to dentures can take several weeks, sometimes months, and it’s common to notice some soreness, irritation, or difficulty speaking or eating during that period. Starting with soft foods and building up to harder foods helps the transition, and most patients adjust with time.
How do I clean and store dentures?
Brush them daily with a soft-bristled brush and denture cleaner, and store them in water or denture solution when you’re not wearing them. Avoid hot water or harsh chemicals.
Should I take dentures out at night?
We usually recommend removing dentures before sleep to let your gums rest and reduce the risk of irritation or infection, though your dentist may advise differently for your case.
