Dentures
A removable denture can replace some or all teeth in one jaw.

Before
Bring your current denture if you have one. Explain where it feels loose, rubs or affects eating or speech.
During
Ask what will be checked at this visit and whether fitting or adjustment will take more appointments.
After
Ask about cleaning, storage and who to contact if the denture rubs, slips or breaks.
Technology

Intraoral scanner
Records the shape of your teeth and gums to help plan treatment.

CAD/CAM digital dentistry
For the digital option, the team uses records of your mouth and computer design to plan the denture. Other types may use conventional impressions.
FAQs
Can I have a denture if I still have some teeth?
A partial denture is made around remaining teeth. Your dentist checks whether those teeth and the surrounding gums can support the design.
What if my denture feels loose?
Ask the practice to assess the fit. Your dentist can discuss adjustment, replacement or whether implant support may be suitable.

Choosing a denture
Partial dentures fit around remaining teeth. Full dentures replace every tooth in a jaw. Your dentist can discuss the materials, how the denture will be supported and whether other replacement options are suitable.
The team can explain who will make, fit and review your denture.
