NATURAL-LOOKING DENTURES IN SURBITON: RESTORE YOUR SMILE & CONFIDENCE
Are you struggling with missing teeth or loose, uncomfortable dentures? At Surbiton Dental, we understand how tooth loss can affect your confidence, speech, and ability to enjoy your favourite foods. Our clinical team, including Dr Jack Connan, specialises in crafting modern, bespoke dentures that look completely natural and provide a secure, comfortable fit. Whether you need to replace a few teeth or a full arch, we are here to help you rediscover your smile in a non-judgmental environment.
WHY CHOOSE MODERN DENTURES AT SURBITON DENTAL?
Gone are the days of “one-size-fits-all” restorations. We use high-quality materials and precise digital planning to ensure your new smile is as unique as you are.
- Enhanced Aesthetics: Our dentures are custom-shaded and hand-finished to mimic the subtle translucency of natural teeth and healthy gum tissue.
- Improved Function: Reclaim the ability to eat a varied diet and speak clearly with a stable, well-fitted appliance.
- Facial Support: Replacing missing teeth helps support your facial muscles, preventing the “sunken” appearance often associated with tooth loss.
- Affordable Investment: Dentures offer a cost-effective way to restore multiple missing teeth, with 0% finance options available to help spread the cost.
DIGITAL PRECISION FOR MODERN DENTURES
We combine traditional clinical expertise with high-tech digital planning to ensure your dentures are stable, comfortable and indistinguishable from natural teeth:
iTero 5D Digital Impressions: Forget the discomfort of traditional putty moulds. We use high-speed 3D laser scanning to map the contours of your gums and remaining teeth. This digital precision ensures a “suction-fit” that significantly reduces movement and sore spots.
CAD/CAM Prosthetic Design: Your dentures are digitally engineered using Computer-Aided Design. This allows us to precisely calculate the “vertical dimension” of your face, restoring your natural facial height and preventing the “sunken” look associated with tooth loss.
Medical-Grade Cobalt-Chrome Alloys: For our partial dentures, we use ultra-thin, biocompatible Cobalt-Chrome frameworks. These are digitally milled for a “snap-fit” over your existing teeth, providing far superior stability and strength compared to standard bulky plastic.
High-Impact Acrylics & Bio-Functional Teeth: We utilise the latest generation of high-impact resins and multi-layered porcelain teeth. These materials mimic the light-reflecting “translucency” of natural enamel, ensuring your smile looks authentic even in close-up photos.
IS A DENTURE RIGHT FOR YOU? (SUITABILITY)
Dentures are a versatile missing tooth replacement option suitable for many patients. We typically recommend them if:
- You are missing several teeth (Partial Denture) or all your teeth in one or both jaws (Full Denture).
- You are looking for a non-surgical solution to tooth loss.
- Your remaining teeth or jawbone may not be suitable for bridges or dental implants alone.
- You want an immediate improvement in your appearance and oral function.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF DENTURES?
- Complete: Recommended if you have lost all your teeth. These are typically made of a durable acrylic material which fit comfortably over gum tissue.
- Partial: Recommended if you are missing one or more of your teeth. Partial dentures can be made of acrylic or cobalt chrome. Cobalt chrome dentures can be thinner and utilise clasps on your teeth, making them more stable.
- Immediate Dentures: Recommended if you want a tooth replacement option immediately after having a tooth extraction.
- Implant Retained: Recommended if you are looking to firmly stabilise your dentures.
YOUR JOURNEY TO A NEW SMILE: STEP-BY-STEP
We ensure the process is clear and stress-free:
- Clinical Assessment: We thoroughly check your oral health and discuss your goals, ensuring you understand every step of the “roadmap.”
- Impressions & Scans: We take precise moulds or digital scans to ensure your dentures are tailored specifically to your mouth.
- The “Try-In” Phase: You’ll have the chance to see and feel a wax version of your new teeth, allowing us to adjust the fit and look before the final finish.
- Final Fitting & Aftercare: We fit your bespoke dentures and provide a simple guide on how to care for them and maintain your oral health at home.
What our Patients say
FAQ
Dentures are typically made from acrylic resin, which is lightweight and durable, or a combination of acrylic and metal (such as cobalt chrome) for added strength. Modern materials offer a natural appearance and a comfortable fit, making dentures both durable and visually appealing.
It usually takes 4 to 6 weeks to make dentures. The process involves several appointments for impressions, fittings, and adjustments to ensure your dentures fit comfortably and function properly.
Full dentures replace all teeth in either your upper or lower arch, while partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth and are held in place with clasps that attach to your remaining natural teeth. The choice depends on how many teeth you need to replace.
Yes, after an initial adjustment period, you can eat most foods with dentures. It’s best to begin with soft foods and gradually reintroduce harder or chewier foods as you become more comfortable wearing your dentures.
Clean dentures daily with a soft-bristle brush and a denture cleaner. Rinse them after meals, soak them overnight in a denture solution, and avoid using regular toothpaste, as it can scratch the denture surface.
Dentures typically last 5 to 10 years with proper care. Over time, they may need adjustments or replacements due to changes in your gums and jaw shape, so regular dental check-ups are important.
Implant-supported dentures are attached to dental implants placed in the jawbone, providing more stability and comfort than traditional dentures. They are especially beneficial for those who want to prevent slippage or require extra support, and are suitable for patients with sufficient bone density.
Yes, broken dentures can often be repaired by your dentist. Depending on the type and extent of damage, repairs may be completed quickly or require adjustments in a dental lab. Avoid DIY repair kits as they may worsen the problem.
Immediate dentures are placed straight after tooth extraction, so you’re never without teeth. They act as a temporary solution while your gums heal and you wait for your permanent dentures.
Modern dentures are designed for comfort and natural appearance, so many patients find them comfortable to wear throughout the day. Any initial discomfort usually resolves as you adjust. Your dentist will work closely with you to ensure the best possible fit.
After getting new dentures, start with soft foods and cut food into small pieces. As you adjust, you can gradually add firmer foods. Give yourself a few weeks to adapt and consult your dentist if you have concerns about chewing.
Immediate dentures start from £600, acrylic dentures cost about £1000 upwards, and chrome dentures start from £1500.
While dentures cannot be whitened like natural teeth, they can be professionally cleaned and polished by your dentist to remove stains and restore their appearance. Daily proper cleaning also helps keep them looking their best.
If you have missing teeth, your dentist will assess your oral health, bone density, and personal preferences to determine if dentures, implant-supported dentures, or dental implants are the best solution. A professional evaluation is essential for tailored advice.
