What type is right for you?
Not every patient needs the same denture solution. The right option depends on how many teeth are missing, the condition of your remaining teeth and gums, and what matters most to you in comfort, stability, and appearance.
Full dentures
Best suited for patients who have lost all teeth in the upper arch, lower arch, or both. Designed to restore a complete smile, support facial structure, and improve eating and speaking.
Partial dentures
Ideal when you still have some healthy natural teeth remaining. Partial dentures fill the gaps while working around your existing teeth to improve function and appearance.
Custom design
Every denture is designed around your mouth, smile, bite, and facial support needs so the result feels more comfortable and looks more natural.
Different denture types, explained simply.
For most patients, the most helpful starting point is understanding whether you need a full denture or a partial denture. From there, we guide you through the best design, fit, and material choices based on your needs.
Immediate dentures
These may be placed soon after extractions so you are not left without teeth during healing. They can be a good short-term solution while your mouth changes shape.
Conventional dentures
These are typically made once healing has progressed and the tissues have stabilised more, often allowing for a more refined long-term fit.
Partial options
Partial dentures can vary in design depending on the number and position of missing teeth, as well as how they connect to and work with your remaining natural teeth.
What happens if missing teeth aren’t replaced?
Bone loss
Jawbone shrinks over time.
Shifting teeth
Teeth move and bite changes.
Facial collapse
Face loses support and shape.
Simple process. Life-changing outcome.
Dentures are about more than replacing missing teeth. They help restore function, appearance, facial support, and everyday confidence.
