Dentures are an effective and trusted method in replacing your missing teeth. They are removable metal or plastic frameworks that carry single or multiple false teeth. If you decide to replace missing teeth with a denture, they are custom made to fit the size and shape of your mouth, with the aim to make them feel and look as natural as possible.

You may require a full or partial denture, depending on how many teeth you need replacing. A full denture is has a removable base plate, which sits over your gums. This is the foundation for the set of custom-made acrylic teeth mounted above. This is a replacement for your missing teeth, and designed to look as natural as possible.

A partial denture works by attaching to the teeth on either side of the gap and replaces one or more missing teeth. A partial denture can also be used as an alternative to a bridge, and fill gaps in your teeth.

Missing teeth can affect the way you look and even affect your natural speech, which in turn affects your self-confidence. Dentures can help you smile with confidence again, and can greatly improve your everyday life by restoring your missing teeth along with your confidence.

Additionally to replacing your missing teeth, it also has a positive effect on the health of your remaining teeth, by helping correct any bite alignment issues. Any open cavities are also filled during this procedure, preventing any further tooth decay of the surrounding teeth.

Dentures are also available on the NHS band, if considered clinically necessary to replace the missing teeth. We offer a full denture service at our Essex based practice, through the NHS or privately, depending on your needs and circumstances.
