Dentures are a well-established way to replace missing teeth and restore comfort, function and confidence in everyday life. At Buttercross Dental Practice, we provide carefully planned denture treatment designed around your individual needs, whether you are missing several teeth or require a full replacement for an upper or lower arch.
Missing teeth can affect more than appearance alone. They may also influence the way you eat, speak and feel about your smile. Well-made dentures can help support the cheeks and lips, improve your ability to chew and allow you to speak more clearly. Just as importantly, they can help you feel more comfortable in social situations and more at ease with your overall appearance.
Dentures are removable appliances used to replace missing teeth and the surrounding tissues. They are custom-made to fit your mouth and are designed to look as natural as possible while restoring everyday function.
There are different types of dentures, including:
Your dentist will assess your oral health carefully and explain which options may be appropriate for you. The best choice will depend on the number of teeth missing, the health of your gums, the condition of any remaining teeth and your personal preferences.
Treatment begins with a detailed consultation so we can understand your concerns, examine your mouth and discuss what you would like to achieve. If you already wear dentures, we will also assess their fit, condition and function.
Where dentures are suitable, we will carefully plan the shape, fit and appearance of your new restoration. At Buttercross Dental Practice, we use digital technology as part of our modern workflow to help gather accurate information about your mouth and bite. This helps us create dentures that are designed with comfort, function and appearance in mind.
During the process, we may need a series of appointments to assess the fit, bite and appearance before the final denture is completed. We will explain each stage clearly, so you know what to expect throughout treatment.
It is important to understand that adjusting to new dentures can take time. Even well-made dentures may feel unfamiliar at first. Your speech may need a short period of adjustment, and eating may feel different in the early days. Our team will guide you through this process and make any necessary adjustments to help improve comfort.

While dentures can provide significant benefits, they do require ongoing care and may need adjustment over time as your mouth naturally changes.
Caring for your dentures: Good denture care is important for both comfort and oral health. Dentures should be cleaned regularly using suitable products and handled carefully to avoid damage. Your gums, tongue and any remaining natural teeth should also be cleaned every day.
