Dentures at London Dental Centre
Restore your confidence and get a stunning new smile with bespoke dentures
Are you missing several teeth or even a full arch? Dentures might be the perfect solution to restore both the function and appearance of your smile. At London Dental Centre, located near Old Street and Kings Cross, our expert prosthodontists are dedicated to creating dentures that not only look natural but also feel comfortable. We take the time to discuss all your options, ensuring that you find the best fit for your needs. If you're considering a removable option to reclaim your smile, dentures could be just what you need.
Why Choose Dentures?
Replacing missing teeth is crucial, even if it's just one. Without proper restoration, gaps in your teeth can lead to difficulties in chewing and speaking, increased strain on neighboring teeth, and even a misaligned bite. Over time, missing teeth can cause your face to sag, leading to an older appearance, and may result in further tooth loss. Dentures offer a practical and effective solution, allowing you to maintain your oral health and enjoy a full, beautiful smile.
The Benefits of Dentures
Dentures provide numerous advantages for those looking to replace missing teeth:
A Complete, Natural-Looking Smile: Dentures restore the appearance of your smile, helping you regain your confidence.
Durability: Designed to last, dentures are a long-lasting solution.
Comfortable Eating and Speaking: Enjoy a wider range of foods and speak more comfortably.
Easy to Remove: Dentures are convenient and can be removed as needed.
Support for Remaining Teeth: Dentures provide essential support for any remaining natural teeth.
Types of Dentures
We offer three main types of dentures at London Dental Centre:
Complete Dentures: Ideal if you’ve lost all your teeth in a full arch. These dentures feature an acrylic plastic base, matched to your gum color, and a full set of teeth usually made from resin. After taking precise measurements of your mouth, our dental technicians custom-make dentures to fit snugly over your gums and jawbone, ensuring comfort and a secure fit.
Partial Dentures: If you still have some of your natural teeth, partial dentures might be the solution. These are designed to replace one or more missing teeth, with replacement teeth that blend seamlessly with your remaining ones. They are secured to your natural teeth using a metal framework, providing stability and comfort.
Implant-Retained Dentures: For a more permanent solution, consider implant-retained dentures. These involve placing small titanium implants into the jawbone, which act as anchors for your dentures. Implant-retained dentures offer a more secure fit, a natural feel, and enhanced chewing ability, while also stimulating bone growth to prevent further bone loss.
Caring for Your Dentures
Taking care of your dentures is essential to maintaining both their appearance and your oral health. Like natural teeth, dentures can accumulate plaque, which can lead to gum disease. For removable dentures, it's important to clean them thoroughly with a soft brush, rinse them, and soak them overnight in a denture cleaner. Don't forget to brush your gums and tongue gently with a soft brush and rinse with mouthwash to keep your mouth clean and healthy.
