Dentures

At The Corner House Dental, we’re keen to emphasise the need to replace missing or extracted teeth wherever suitable and as soon as possible. Missing teeth can have a detrimental effect not only on the overall oral health of the patient but also on their self-confidence. It can also lead to difficulties speaking and, chewing and eating.

As mentioned, traditional dentures are a very popular way of replacing missing teeth. They are cost-effective, long lasting, and easy to take care of. They can also be used to replace multiple teeth at once, which is highly beneficial in some situations.

Receiving dentures usually takes place over a few appointments and can take a month or two from start to finish. After an initial consultation, where we’ll help you determine whether this is the right route for you and whether you’re a suitable candidate, you’ll come back into the practice, and we’ll take measurements and impressions of the mouth. These will then be used to create your personal dentures for you.

Once they’re ready, you can come back in to have them fitted, and we can check that everything sits and fits as it should. We’ll also be able to go through how to take care of your dentures at home, as keeping them clean is important in helping to prevent infections from occurring in the mouth.
