Dentures

The Dental Team in South Kensington offers a wide range of effective, comfortable denture options for patients who have lost one or more teeth. Missing teeth can cause difficulty with eating and talking, particularly if there are several teeth missing. The shape of the face can also be affected, causing a loss of volume in the areas where the teeth are missing.

Dentures can help overcome these issues and our wide-range of options ensure patients can replace their teeth effectively, restoring their smile to look and feel healthy again.

You may need partial dentures if you have lost one tooth or more teeth through injury or dental disease. These types of dentures must be made precisely and accurately to ensure they are supported by the surrounding teeth and soft tissues comfortably. Often patients may feel they do not need one missing tooth replacing unless it is one of the ‘social six’ front teeth. However, just one gap in the teeth can cause the adjacent teeth to move into its place, and eventually cause issues with speech and eating.

Complete dentures are used when all of the teeth on both arches have been lost. In some cases, this may be combined with partial dentures if that is considered to be the best dental option. At The Dental Team, our modern dentures are extremely high quality and designed to look and feel as natural as possible. Denture care is also a lot more advanced than it used to be and considerable care and attention goes into ensuring your new dentures are as comfortable and hygienic as possible. There is no need to accept sore and badly fitted dentures any more in modern dentistry, so please get in touch to see how we can help!

Dental implants are the most modern tooth replacement option, but they are also excellent for helping to stabilise dentures. If you prefer wearing a denture to an implant or full fixed-arch of replacement teeth, please ask us to discuss implant stabilisation to make your denture wearing experience as comfortable and confident as possible.

If you have injured your teeth and require emergency tooth extraction, it may be that you require an emergency denture or tooth replacement. Every patient is individual and we can talk you through your options at the time of treatment.

Dentures can be made from acrylic resin, flexible resin or cobalt chromium. Every patient is unique and during your thorough consultation we will discuss all of your options with you, to ensure you get the tooth replacement option best suited to your needs.
