Dentures are an excellent choice for tooth restoration if you decide to have your natural teeth removed as you come to a time when you can be better served by brand new teeth than your natural teeth or if you’ve lost all or some of your natural teeth, whether from disease, tooth decay or injury. Complete dentures replace your missing teeth and your smile. Without support from the denture, facial muscles sag, making a person look older. You’ll be able to eat and speak—things that people often take for granted with their natural teeth.
Different types of denture:
- Standard Acrylic Dentures
- Valplast Flexible Partial Dentures
- Immediate Dentures (Sometimes called Temporary Dentures)
- Implant Retained Dentures
Standard Acrylic Dentures
Ideal for: Patients with no teeth or who plan to have all teeth removed.
Benefits: With all teeth removed the mouth is a more stable place for a denture which means greater comfort over time.
A regular denture rests on the gums, and is held in place by suction. These dentures are trimmed to be a comfortable fit and are easily removed for cleaning.
Valplast Flexible Partial Dentures
Ideal for: Patients who still have and intend to keep some of their natural teeth.
Benefits: Allows the patient to keep some of their natural teeth which means no surgical procedures and the flexible gum-coloured fitting .
Valplast flexible partial dentures cost less than dental implants and dental bridges and they require no surgery or invasive procedures. Compared to traditional metal partial 
dentures, Valplast® offers better aesthetics, comfort and durability. Made from an unbreakable nylon resin each Valplast® restoration comes with a lifetime guarantee against breakage and fracture on the resin base.
When considering a removable partial, many people find the Valplast® Flexible Partial Dentures to be the most comfortable option, and the final restoration can be made
very quickly. While the cost may be higher than a partial made with visible metal clasps, the results of the flexible partial are excellent, and patient satisfaction is very high. The Valplast® Flexible Partial involves only non-invasive procedures, and gives you confidence in your restoration while talking, eating and most importantly, smiling!
Immediate Dentures (Sometimes called Temporary Dentures)
Ideal for: Patients that are concerned about going without their smile after tooth extraction during the period when the gum bone resorbs and changes shape before a permanent denture can be fitted.
Benefits: Fills the period between tooth extraction and permanent denture placement with a smile!
This is a temporary smile which allows your gums to heal after tooth extraction. Once your gums are healed we can get a good impression of your gums in their new shape and produce a comfortable fitting denture of your choice. These dentures can be retained as a spare set in case you damage your permanent dentures – You won’t need temporaries whilst we perform relines or most repairs because with a dental laboratory on-site, this can be done while you wait!
Imlpant Retained Dentures
Ideal for: Patients with no teeth or who intend to have all teeth removed and where a semi-fixed denture is more suitable or preferable.
Benefits: As a semi-fixed denture this solution is more stable and feels much more natural in the mouth.
Implant retained dentures are supported by and attached to implants. An implant-supported denture is used when a person doesn’t have any teeth in the jaw, but has enough bone in the jaw to support implants.
