Modern Dentures

The combination of fit, comfort and aesthetics, along with a meticulous eye for detail and uncompromising commitment to quality are just some of the reasons patients have turned to us for dentures for more than 20 years.
Tooth-loss affects millions of us every year. Thankfully, whether you have a single missing tooth or a whole arch, a range of treatments are available to restore bite function and leave you feeling confident about smiling again.
Full and Partial Dentures
There are two types of dentures available:

If you have lost a tooth, it’s essential to seek treatment fast. Teeth can quickly begin moving into the gap, causing loss of bite function and a crooked smile. Tooth-loss can also affect the appearance of your face, reducing vital muscle support and causing the skin to sag. In the very worst cases, it can cause disintegration of the jawbone.
At Aqua Dental Clinic, we know the importance of dentures that not only look great but feel comfortable too. Ill-fitting dentures can cause gum irritation and the inability to eat, as well as affecting self-esteem if they regularly come loose. Our dentures are expertly fitted for stability and aesthetics that won’t let you down.
Combining innovative treatments for stronger solutions
Traditionally, dentures are removable false teeth that are made from plastic. Fitting snugly over the gums, they have been the old, tried, and tested method to replace missing teeth.
However, it’s also possible that dentures might not provide you with the exact result you are hoping for – therefore, it’s always best to discuss with a dentist you trust the best course of action.
And as tooth restoration experts, we know that dental implants provide a more stable, healthier solution that does not hurt your oral health, but instead improves it.

The problem with conventional dentures
The obvious issue with dentures is that they actually do not replace missing teeth in the way that modern implant dentistry has shown us is possible.
Dentures, merely provide an aesthetic replacement to cover gaps in the mouth, which allow patients to speak and chew better than before.
However, being an expert implant dentist in London, we have met many denture-wearers who want a life free from restrictions; they don’t want to eat just soft foods or worry about their dentures slipping out of place, neither do they want the discomfort and sores.
The not so well-known problem with dentures
Among dental professionals, we know that bone loss is a hugely common issue for patients experiencing tooth loss. What often adds to this issue is that patients have likely had multiple missing teeth for a long period of time. This complicates the issue even further – this is because bone does not grow back.
Bone loss often leads to facial sagging, gum disease, tooth wear and future tooth loss.
Denture-wearers in this case, who have had dentures for a big part of their life often have an inadequate amount of bone in the jaw, which means they are not suitable for dental implant treatment without undergoing pre-implant procedures like bone grafts and sinus lifts.
However, there is an innovative solution called All-on-4 which has been famed for being a graftless procedure that can be completed in the same day! Learn more.
How do dentures compare to implant dentistry?
Did you know the cost of dentures throughout our lifetime can cost you from £7,500? This does not include costs to repair or replace them early.
In comparison, implants can cost from £3,000 per tooth, but they are by far a superior treatment and use porcelain crowns that mimic natural teeth perfectly, so you truly walk away with a new, pearly cosmetic smile.
Depending on the number of implants you need, or which implant treatment you choose, you could actually save money in your lifetime by opting for implants.
Combining dentures with implants for more reliable outcomes
We have a procedure that combines implants and dentures for our patients on a budget, who want to experience the wealth of benefits implants have to offer but are unable to afford the white, natural crowns.
Implant-retained dentures or implant-supported dentures use a few implants to anchor dentures. Once the implants are in the jaw, the overdenture can be set in place, which can either be fixed permanently or be removable for cleaning purposes.
The benefits of these snap-in dentures mean that they are more stable and less likely to come loose while speaking. Plus, they improve chewing ability and are more comfortable – don’t forget your jawbone is preserved.
Replacing your dentures – when to see dentist
- Your dentures click when talking
- Your denture slip or do not fit properly
- Dentures feel uncomfortable or are painful
- The dentures are visibly worn
- You are beginning to display signs of gum disease (bleeding gums and bad breath) or tooth decay
When poorly fitting or worn dentures are not replaced, they can cause you great discomfort, which can cause mouth sores, infections, problems speaking and eating.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for my dentures?
Properly caring for your dentures is essential for keeping them looking their best and avoiding serious oral health problems. The first step in denture care is to properly brush the dentures daily with a soft toothbrush or speciality denture brush. Brush thoroughly, but gently, using a non-abrasive soap or denture paste. Make sure to scrub each surface, both inside and out, as food particles and plaque bacteria can get trapped in these areas. Additionally, this cleaning process will help prevent permanent staining of the plastic material that makes up your dentures.
If you are looking to whiten your dentures like you would natural teeth, this unfortunately cannot be done because of the makeup of the plastic material used to make them. However, there are a variety of over-the-counter cleansers available that can effectively remove most stains from your dentures if used according to the manufacturer’s instructions; just be sure not to use any abrasive materials as this could damage the plastic material used on your dentures. Regularly cleaning and maintaining your dentures can help keep them looking good and maintain better health in the long run.

Dentures must be removed every day in order to properly clean all surfaces of the prostheses and use a special denture brush & paste for an even deeper cleanse. Additionally, these removable prosthetics should also be stored safely in water overnight. By following these helpful tips, you can increase your chance of having healthy gums, stable jaw alignment and longer-lasting dentures over time!
