Cosmetic Dentures in London

A denture provides functional and aesthetic support for individuals with multiple missing teeth. They are the optimal solution for tooth loss, particularly in cases of resorbed bone.
In the Dental Care Centre, our denture specialists advise using different types of dentures to meet your needs and oral health conditions to offer durable and stable teeth replacement.

Different Cosmetic Denture Solutions

Cosmetic denture options include complete dentures, partial dentures, and implant supported dentures.

Complete Denture

Complete dentures replace an entire set of teeth. They consist of an acrylic base that supports the artificial teeth. Acrylic is a biocompatible, comfortable, and lightweight material. The acrylic base also compensates for bone or soft tissue defects, enhancing overall aesthetics.
Complete dentures do not have adjacent natural teeth for support. Instead, their stability relies on the underlying bone and soft tissue. Our denture specialists in London expertly fabricate complete dentures that fit securely against the underlying bone.
Additional stability can be achieved through suctions and adhesive gel.
Recently, innovative flexible dentures have been introduced to enhance denture stability.
These flexible dentures are more resilient, offering a superior fit over the underlying bone.

Partial Denture

Partial dentures are designed to replace multiple missing teeth. They consist of a cobaltchromium metal framework covered with an acrylic base supporting artificial teeth. Stability in partial dentures is achieved through attachments or metal clasps that connect to the adjacent natural teeth. The metal clasps secure the denture in place, providing stability during chewing.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures are the most stable and durable type of dentures. They derive their support from implant fixtures surgically placed in the jawbone. After complete healing and fusion of the implants with the jawbone, the dentures are attached using specialised attachments inserted into the fitting surface of the dentures.

Dental Care Centre: The Denture Fabrication Process

Our cosmetic denture experts in the Dental Care Center are renowned for their meticulous and flawless work. Our prosthodontics specialist carefully examines and evaluates the factors that affect the selection of the most suitable denture, including the extent of tooth loss, bone density, gum health, aesthetic preferences, and oral hygiene.
Dental experts develop comprehensive treatment plans considering the various patient factors to create the most comfortable, durable, and stable dentures. This approach enhances functional support during chewing and helps restore a natural appearance.
The process of fabricating cosmetic dentures involves the following steps.

Initial Assessment:
The first step in denture fabrication begins with a thorough oral health assessment. Our periodontists conduct a comprehensive examination of the structures that support the denture, including the bone, the health of adjacent teeth, and the gums. These factors are essential for ensuring optimal denture stability and durability. Additionally, radiographs, such as OPG may help in evaluating bone health.
Dental Consultation:
During your consultation, our expert dentist will discuss your expectations and needs. We will explain the various denture options available, along with their advantages and limitations. Finally, our specialists will guide you in selecting the most suitable denture based on your needs, comfort, and maintenance requirements.

Treatment Plan:
After a thorough evaluation of the bone, gums, and adjacent teeth, a treatment plan is developed based on the condition of the remaining teeth and supporting structures. If adjacent teeth do not provide sufficient support due to decay or mobility, a comprehensive treatment approach to address these issues through restoration, periodontal treatment, or extraction.

Impression:
The dentist recorded all the details of the gums, adjacent teeth, and jawbone using impression material. An accurate impression is essential for achieving a better and more precise fit for the denture. This impression should be sent to the laboratory for denture fabrication according to the dentist’s instructions.

Delivery:
Our prosthodontists assess the denture stability, bite alignment, comfort, and aesthetics to ensure optimal functionality. All necessary adjustments are performed, and instructions for the proper care and maintenance of the dentures are provided.

Denture maintenance:
Proper denture cleaning is crucial for their longevity. Clean your dentures after every meal and store them properly. Use a soft brush to clean the fitting surface of the dentures. When you are not wearing your dentures, store them in water to prevent drying, which can lead to cracks.
Consult our experts if you experience any discomfort in your gums or jawbone. It is essential to maintain regular dental visits to diagnose any developing soft tissue inflammations or ulcers.
In case of an ulcer or infection near a denture, our dentist may recommend applying an antibacterial ointment and refraining from wearing the denture until complete recovery.

Common Challenges When Wearing New Dentures

The new dentures require time for adjustment. Our prosthodontists will provide detailed post-insertion instructions to help manage the challenges associated with new dentures. Common issues related to wearing dentures include:
Difficulty in speaking and eating: The lack of adaptation of the tongue and masticatory muscles when you first wear dentures can lead to slippage. It is essential to wear your dentures regularly while engaging in daily activities such as speaking and chewing, allowing your tongue and mouth muscles to adapt to the new dentures.
Denture sores and gum irritations: In case of pain, infections, or soreness, consult our dentists immediately. They can advise appropriate gels and advise how to maintain denture hygiene.
Bad Breath: Halitosis, commonly known as bad breath, often results from inadequate denture hygiene and plaque accumulation, which causes a foul smell. Our experts recommend thoroughly cleaning the fitting surfaces of your dentures with gentle brushing after meals, storing your dentures in water, and using mouthwash to maintain freshness.
Denture Breakage: Improper handling and normal wear and tear can lead to chips, cracks, and breakage of dentures. Visit our dental professionals to repair minor defects, such as cracks and chips, on the same day. If the damage is excessive, we can replace your dentures with a new set.

FAQs

No, partial dentures are designed to restore multiple missing teeth, and they achieve retention through clasps that are fabricated around the adjacent natural teeth.

Both solutions are used to restore multiple missing teeth. Partial dentures can be removed for cleaning, while bridges are permanently fixed to the teeth and can only be removed by a dental professional.

Both complete dentures and implant-supported dentures are utilised for full arch restoration. Complete dentures are removable and gain support from a snug fit against the underlying soft tissue and bone. In contrast, implant-supported dentures can be either removable or fixed, gaining their support from dental implants inserted into the jawbone, which enhances the retention of the dentures.

Handle dentures with care to prevent fractures. Brush them after meals using a soft toothbrush, and store them in water when not in your mouth.

It is advisable to remove your dentures before sleeping to allow your gums to relax from the pressure exerted by the dentures throughout the day.

You can wear your dentures while eating, but you may need time to become comfortable using them.

You may experience slight discomfort after wearing your dentures for the first time; however, this will disappear within a few days as you get used to them. If the pain persists, please consult our dental experts to identify any pressure points that may require relief. Additionally, your dentures become loose with time. This movement may lead to soft tissue lacerations.

Conventional dentures derive their support from the underlying soft tissue and bone. The daily stresses placed on the dentures are transmitted to the supporting soft tissue and bone, which can cause the dentures to become loose over time.

With proper care and maintenance, dentures can last for many years. However, over time, even with proper care and maintenance, they require replacement because of material tear and wear.

Dentures can become loose over time due to bone resorption. If you notice that your dentures become loose, consult our dental experts to determine if you require denture relining.

I have been registered at this dental practice now, for just over 15 years. Throughout that whole period, I have been lucky enough to have been looked after by the wonderful, and patient, Dr Prasad. He has covered many procedures in my mouth, from extraction, and root canal, right up to the most recent procedure, Composite bonding of my broken two front teeth. Do not hesitate to register at this practise, as you will be looked after with care and consideration.

Thank you Dr Prasao

Very friendly

During the lockdown period I was able to see Dr Irfan for a dental emergency I had. I’m so grateful that they have been available throughout this. Gillian the practice manager contacted me and offered me an appointment the same day. I am a long standing patient at this practice and cannot thank them enough for great service they have provided to me throughout the years. Great dentist, staff and management. Thank you all so much.

Susan L.

The Dental Care Center has been an excellent dentist surgery that I have been attending as a patient for many years. When I was young I didn’t have a pleasant experience with my local dentist on more than one occasion. I found the dentist at new cross dental care center very reassuring and comforting. The management and reception were also very welcoming.

Stewart S.

Really efficient service and friendly helpful staff, clean and fresh environment

Stephanie P.

Great desk staff and Dentists. Excellent with young children.

Spencer M.

Brilliant service from Dr Mansi Patel – she ensured I was well informed regarding my dental issues and spent a whole consultation discussing my dental history and reviewing my previous scans. She provided the means to communicate out of hours, if I had any further queries. She demonstrated empathy and encouraged collaborative decision making throughout. This is a refreshing approach, speaking from someone who’s a healthcare professional. Would recommend!

Sonia M.

I had a wonderful experience at Dental Care Centre. Dr Mani Nasir is fantastic, he listened to me, had my best interests at heart and delivered excellent and professional care. Dr Mani & his nurse Kawtar are an amazing team! I also felt very safe with the measures the practice has put in place in light of covid-19. Thank you!
