Dentures
If you have missing teeth and are looking for a comfortable, natural-looking replacement option, dentures in Weston could be the ideal solution. At Manor Dental Practice, we provide custom-made dentures designed to restore your smile, improve confidence, and support everyday activities such as eating and speaking comfortably.
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and the surrounding tissues. They are typically made from acrylic or a combination of acrylic and metal, offering both strength and a natural appearance. Depending on your needs, you can have full dentures (replacing all teeth in one arch) or partial dentures (replacing one or more missing teeth while preserving remaining natural teeth).
Modern dentures are far more comfortable and lifelike than those of the past, fitting securely while enhancing your smile’s appearance and function.
Benefits and Suitability
Dentures are suitable for adults who have lost teeth due to decay, gum disease, or injury. They can help:
- Restore your ability to chew and speak clearly.
- Maintain the shape of your face by supporting your lips and cheeks.
- Improve your overall confidence and wellbeing.
At Manor Dental Practice in Weston, we carefully assess each patient’s oral health and lifestyle needs to create dentures that look and feel natural. Whether you need complete or partial dentures, we’ll ensure the design fits comfortably and securely.
The Denture Treatment Process
- Initial Consultation: During your first visit, your dentist will assess your mouth, discuss your goals, and explain the available denture options.
- Impressions and Measurements: We take precise moulds (impressions) of your mouth to ensure your dentures fit accurately.
- Try-in Stage: A trial denture is made so you can preview the fit and appearance before final production.
- Final Fitting: Once you’re satisfied, your final dentures are crafted and fitted securely.
- Adjustments and Support: We’ll invite you for follow-up visits to make any small adjustments and ensure lasting comfort.
Aftercare and Next Steps
It may take a short time to adjust to wearing dentures, but most patients quickly adapt. We’ll show you how to care for your dentures and keep your gums healthy. Cleaning them daily and removing them at night helps prolong their lifespan.
Regular dental check-ups at Manor Dental Practice ensure your dentures continue to fit well as your mouth changes over time.
