Dentures
Dentures are a reliable, time-tested solution to replace missing teeth and restore your smile, confidence, and quality of life. Whether you have lost some or all of your natural teeth due to gum disease, decay, injury, or ageing, dentures can give you back the ability to eat comfortably, speak clearly, and smile with pride. Modern dentures are lightweight, natural-looking, and designed to fit your face perfectly. We proudly serve patients from Lichfield, Tamworth, Sutton Coldfield, Rugeley, Cannock, Burton upon Trent, Stafford, Burntwood, Uttoxeter, and Ashby-de-la-Zouch. New NHS and private patients are welcome. We are open late evenings and weekends, and offer same-day emergency appointments.
Complete Dentures
Complete dentures are used when all the natural teeth are missing. They rest securely on your gum and are custom-made to match your facial shape, skin tone, and personal preferences. We take great care to ensure they look as natural as possible — nobody needs to know they are not your own teeth. Complete dentures provide essential support to your lips and cheeks, preventing the sunken appearance that can happen when teeth are lost. They are removable so you can keep them clean, and they can be adjusted or relined over time to maintain a perfect fit.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are ideal when some natural teeth remain. They fill the gaps and stop your existing teeth from shifting out of position. A partial denture typically clips or clasps onto your healthy teeth for stability. We can make them with a strong, lightweight metal framework for durability, or with flexible, tooth-coloured clasps that are almost invisible. Partial dentures protect your remaining teeth while restoring your smile and chewing ability.
Implant-Retained Dentures
For the ultimate in comfort and confidence, dentures can be held securely in place with dental implants. Just two to four implants in the jawbone can lock your dentures firmly so they never slip, never move, and never worry you. You can eat anything you like — apples, steak, corn on the cob — with total confidence. Implant-retained dentures also help preserve your jawbone and facial structure. They are the closest thing to having your own natural teeth back.
How We Make Your Dentures
We take precise measurements, impressions, and colour samples to ensure a perfect match. You will have the chance to see and approve how they look before they are finished. We make sure the fit is comfortable, the bite is correct, and you are completely happy before you leave. It usually takes a few appointments over a few weeks, and we will give you temporary dentures to wear in between so you never have to be without teeth.
Adjusting To Your New Dentures
It is completely normal to take a little time to get used to your new dentures. At first they may feel slightly different — your mouth needs time to adapt. Start with softer foods and chew slowly. Your speech will settle within a few days as your tongue learns where everything is. We are here every step of the way. If anything feels uncomfortable, come in and we will adjust it free of charge. It often takes a few small tweaks to get them absolutely perfect.
Caring For Your Dentures
Clean your dentures every day just like natural teeth — but with a soft brush and denture cleaner, not regular toothpaste which can scratch the surface. Remove them at night to give your gums a rest, and keep them moist in water or a denture solution. Visit us regularly so we can check the fit and the health of your gums. Over time, your jaw changes shape, so dentures may need relining or replacing every few years to keep fitting well and keeping you healthy.
