There are several options available to replace missing teeth, with a partial denture being one of the most common and successful solutions. While no replacement can fully match the comfort and function of your natural teeth, many people adapt very well to wearing dentures and are able to speak, eat and enjoy a wide variety of foods with confidence.

Adjusting to new dentures takes time, and each person's experience is different. Some patients adapt quickly, while others may require a little more time and support. With patience, perseverance and ongoing communication, most concerns can be addressed to achieve a comfortable and successful outcome.

We are here to support you every step of the way

Full Dentures & Partial Dentures

Losing teeth can impact both your oral health and confidence. Our high-quality dentures and partials are custom-made to restore your smile, improve speech, and enhance chewing ability.

Full Dentures: Designed for patients missing all their teeth, full dentures provide a complete restoration of function and aesthetics.



Partial Dentures: Ideal for patients missing various teeth, partials are designed to fit comfortably around existing teeth, restoring function and appearance.

Acrylic resin (plastic) dentures:

Made from pink and rigid plastic encasing and surrounding the false teeth which are used to replace your missing natural teeth. Wire clasps (hooks, clips) are used to clamp around your own teeth to hold the partial denture in place. The clasps are made from thin wire and are bent by hand around some of your real teeth.

Advantages:

• More economical and easier to obtain (cheaper)
• Easier repaired if broken
• Can be relined (new fitting surface) on most occasions 
• Quicker process to provide tooth addition upon tooth loss. 
• Useful for large partial dentures when only 2-4 natural teeth are remaining
• After extraction(s) it can be used as a temporary partial denture whilst gum resorption takes place. 

Disadvantages:

• Stain, tartar and plaque build up to pink plastic surfaces and around teeth is possible
• Thicker palate coverage and less room for tongue 
• Usually larger coverage on palate to aid in suction
• Brittle, easy to break or bend a clasp
• Poor aesthetics as clasps and plastic borders can be seen
• Clasps and plastic borders around natural teeth can act as food traps
• With poor oral hygiene, gum inflammation can cause tooth and bone loss 

Chrome Cobalt (metal) denture:

This type of Partial Denture is also a removal appliance, replacing several missing teeth. The frame work is made of cobalt chrome metal alloy (CoCr) and the surrounding pink resin is the gum part holding the teeth. Chrome dentures have custom fitted wire clasps to fit around your natural teeth accurately allowing for good retention.

Advantages:

• Stronger than acrylic and less likely to break
• thinner
• good longevity (no wear)
• greater dimensional stability
• less coverage across palate and soft tissue
• better heat and taste transfer
• does not rely on suction
• material is less porous and less accumulation of food

Disadvantages:

• Stiff and hard
• Poor look as metal clasps are visible
• Metal clasps touch natural teeth
• Food traps around clasps and acrylic (gum) junction
• Difficult and more expensive to repair
• Additions of extra teeth are unreliable
• Difficult or impossible to reline 
• With poor oral hygiene, gum inflammation can cause tooth and bone loss 

Chrome and Flexible Combo denture

• Combination of rigid and pliable materials used where needed
• No metal clasps showing
• Ability to use rests on teeth to avoid movement into gums
