Complete Dentures

If you require new complete dentures and you don't have any teeth or roots left we can construct you new dentures without needing a referral from a dentist.

After your initial consultation the process of providing you with a new denture is typically:
The first appointment: Intra oral and extra oral examination and the recording of facial measurements are conducted and impressions of your mouth and possibly your existing dentures are taken. These impressions are used to create models of your mouth for us to work with.

Second appointment: We use custom made impression trays to capture the most accurate copy of your mouth possible, these impressions are used to make the final models the dentures are made on.

Third appointment: A denture base is made from acrylic resin or other materials with wax blocks in place of the teeth. This base will fit over the gums and allows for the determination of the ideal tooth position and jaw relationship. We will work together to select the appropriate size, shape, and colour of artificial teeth for your denture. These teeth are then arranged on the denture base in a way that looks natural ready for the next appointment.
Fourth appointment is a try-in: A wax model of the denture is created and placed in the mouth. This allows us to evaluate the fit, appearance, and bite of the denture. Adjustments can be made to the denture and tooth position as needed. Once we are satisfied we can progress to the final stage.
Fifth appointment is fitting of the denture: The finalised fully acrylic denture is inserted and any minor adjustments are made to ensure a comfortable and proper fit.

The appointments typically take around 30 to 45 minutes.
The entire process of making complete dentures can take several weeks, as it will require multiple appointments.
