Dentures
Full and partial dentures, fitted properly so they actually feel comfortable.
Full vs partial
Full dentures replace all the teeth in an upper or lower arch. Partial dentures fill in gaps where you still have some natural teeth remaining, and usually clip onto them for extra stability.
Getting used to them
- A little extra saliva and some awkwardness speaking is normal for the first week or two
- Start with softer foods and work back up to a normal diet
- Come back in for adjustments if they're rubbing anywhere — don't just push through it
How long do dentures last?
Typically 5–8 years before they need relining or replacing, as your gums and jawbone change shape over time.
Are implants a better option?
For some people, yes — implant-supported dentures or full-arch implants are far more stable. We'll talk through what suits your situation and budget.
