    Treatment Procedures for Dentures

    The denture treatment procedure involves several carefully planned steps to ensure your new dentures fit perfectly and function naturally. Our experienced dental team at London Dental Specialists will guide you through each stage of the process.

    During your treatment, we begin with taking detailed impressions of your mouth using specialised dental materials. These impressions create precise models of your oral structure, which are essential for crafting dentures that fit comfortably and securely.

    The next phase involves measuring your bite relationship. This crucial step determines how your upper and lower jaws align, ensuring your new dentures will allow for proper chewing and speaking. We use advanced techniques to record the exact positioning needed for optimal function.

    • Wax try-in session: Preview your new smile with a wax version of your dentures
    • Aesthetic assessment: Select the most natural-looking tooth shade and positioning
    • Fit adjustments: Fine-tune the denture fit for maximum comfort
    • Final placement: Deliver your completed dentures with detailed care instructions

    For partial dentures, we take additional care to ensure they blend seamlessly with your existing teeth. The framework is precisely designed to clip onto your natural teeth while maintaining the health of your remaining dentition.

    Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments. These appointments are essential for ensuring long-term comfort and proper function of your new dentures.

    Treatment Stage Duration
    Initial Impressions 30-45 minutes
    Bite Registration 30-45 minutes
    Wax Try-in 45-60 minutes
    Final Fitting 60 minutes

    Post Treatment Care for Dentures

    Post-treatment care for your dentures is essential for maintaining their longevity and your oral health. Proper maintenance ensures your dentures remain comfortable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing for years to come.

    Daily cleaning of your dentures is crucial to prevent staining and maintain oral hygiene. Remove and rinse your dentures after eating to wash away food particles and debris. Use a soft-bristled brush specifically designed for dentures, along with mild soap or a special denture cleanser – avoid using regular toothpaste as it can be too abrasive.

    Handle your dentures with care when cleaning them. Clean them over a folded towel or basin of water to prevent damage if they're dropped. Brush all surfaces gently to avoid damaging the plastic or attachments.

    • Soak dentures overnight in room-temperature water or mild denture-soaking solution
    • Never use hot water, which can warp the denture material
    • Keep dentures moist to maintain their proper shape
    • Clean your mouth thoroughly before reinserting dentures

    Regular dental check-ups are important for ensuring your dentures continue to fit properly. Contact London Dental Specialists immediately if you experience any discomfort, loose fitting, or damage to your dentures. We provide ongoing support and are here to help with any concerns about your dentures.

    Remember that dentures may need periodic adjustments as your mouth naturally changes over time. We offer a 10-year warranty on our dental implants and endodontics, giving you peace of mind about your dental investment.

    If you notice any of these signs, contact us promptly:

    • Difficulty chewing or speaking
    • Loose-fitting dentures
    • Mouth sores or irritation
    • Cracked or damaged dentures
    • Changes in your bite or fit

    Frequently Asked Questions About Our Dentures in London, UK

    Considering Dentures? We understand you may have questions. Our team of dental specialists, including a Periodontist, Endodontist and Orthodontist along with our team of Dental Therapists and Nurses are here to guide you through the process.
    What types of dentures are available and which option would suit me best?

    Dentures are custom-made removable replacements for missing teeth that come in several varieties to suit different needs. The main types include complete dentures (replacing all teeth), partial dentures (replacing some teeth), immediate dentures (fitted right after tooth extraction), and implant-supported dentures (anchored by dental implants).

    The best denture option for you depends on factors like how many teeth you're missing, your oral health condition, and lifestyle preferences. Complete dentures are ideal if you've lost all teeth in your upper or lower jaw, while partial dentures work well when you still have some healthy natural teeth remaining.

    • Complete Dentures: Made from flesh-coloured acrylic, these replace an entire arch of missing teeth and rest directly on the gums
    • Partial Dentures: Use a metal or flexible nylon framework to clip onto remaining natural teeth, filling gaps with artificial teeth
    • Immediate Dentures: Fitted straight after tooth extraction so you're never without teeth during the healing period
    • Implant-Supported Dentures: Secured by dental implants for enhanced stability, covered by our 10-year warranty

    What is the first step to getting fitted for dentures and how long does the process take?

    The first step to getting fitted for dentures is scheduling a comprehensive dental examination where your dentist will assess your oral health, remaining teeth, and gum condition. This initial consultation at London Dental Specialists typically takes about 60-90 minutes and includes X-rays and impressions of your mouth to create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

    The complete denture fitting process usually takes between 3-6 weeks and requires several appointments. This timeline allows for proper healing after any necessary extractions and ensures your custom dentures fit perfectly. For immediate dentures, you can receive temporary teeth the same day as extractions while your permanent dentures are being crafted.

    Typical Denture Fitting Timeline:

    • Initial consultation and examination (1-2 appointments)
    • Preliminary impressions and measurements (1 appointment)
    • Tooth extractions if needed (1 appointment)
    • Final impressions once healing begins (1-2 appointments)
    • Try-in appointment to check fit and appearance (1 appointment)
    • Final denture fitting and adjustments (1-2 appointments)

    Types of Dentures Available:

    • Complete dentures (full set)
    • Partial dentures
    • Immediate dentures
    • Implant-supported dentures

    After receiving your dentures, we provide comprehensive care instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to ensure proper fit and comfort. Our 10-year warranty on dental implants provides peace of mind for implant-supported denture options.
