Dentures

Dentures can be enhanced in many ways. These are some of the options you may wish to consider when considering new dentures:

• High impact resistance dentures, higher strength acrylics reducing risk of breakage
• Gum contouring and stippling to mimic your natural teeth
• Gum staining if natural gums are pigmented
• High aesthetic natural looking teeth, which may resemble your natural teeth or aid in enhancing the aesthetic of your natural teeth
• Cobalt/ Chrome dentures, these can be provided to increase strength and in the case of partial dentures can also increase the perceived tightness of the denture in the mouth. This type of denture when used as a partial denture can often use clips to hold it in allowing people to eat and speak with increased confidence. Due to the increased strength a partial denture for the upper arch may be provided so that it doesn’t cover the whole of the roof of your mouth, thus not feeling as intrusive and is often better tolerated.
•  Complete denture may be enhanced if they are retained by dental implants. Dependent upon suitability this option can enable individuals to eat and speak with full confidence.
