About this treatment

Our specialist prosthodontists create dentures that are comfortable and natural looking, and we will take the time in our local Durham surgery to discuss all the options with you. It is important to replace missing teeth, even if just one is missing and we have a range of options to replace multiple or single missing teeth. Replacing any missing teeth will minimise the chances of impact on the function and alignment of your bite.

The benefits to choosing dentures to replace your missing teeth

    Dentures will allow you to have a full, natural looking smile, and they are durable and long lasting enabling you to eat more foods and speak comfortably. They can also be easily removed and they offer support to your remaining teeth ensuring they remain strong with minimal discomfort.

    We have three denture solutions available here at Durham Smile Clinic. Our dentists will discuss all options with you during an initial consultation, to understand your needs and support you with the best denture solution to suit you. Complete dentures replace a full arch if you have lost all of your teeth, partial dentures replace one or more teeth and are used if you still have some of your own teeth, and implant secured dentures use dental implants to secure your dentures in place.

    Because of their natural appearance, they will look just like your natural teeth. Because of this, it is important that the be looked after as if they were your natural teeth. Plaque can develop on dentures in much the same way as it can on natural teeth, which can put you at risk of gum disease.
