Cosmetic Dentures
Dentures in Surrey
Dentures are made up of a plastic plate and artificial teeth and gums which are attached. The plate is then worn in your mouth to conceal the gap from missing teeth.
Dentures have moved on in recent years. Cosmetic dentures are now made from acrylic resin or composites to give a more natural looking appearance rather than the traditional materials of metal, porcelain and acrylic.
Dentures are custom made to fit your gums and they should do so comfortably. In time, the jawbone where you are missing teeth will naturally begin to shrink and this may cause your dentures to become loose or start to slip. If this happens, book an appointment with your dentist who can restore or replace your dentures.
On average, dentures should last between 5 and 7 years.
Types of dentures
You can have a cosmetic denture for one missing tooth, partial dentures to replace several missing teeth or a full set of dentures if you have no teeth at all. We also offer dental implant supported dentures.
Cleaning dentures
You need clean your dentures twice a day and clean any remaining teeth and your gums thoroughly to prevent the risk of gum disease. You should take your dentures out at night to allow your gums to rest.
We have treated thousands of patients for cosmetic dentures from Upper Halliford, Lower Halliford, Walton-on-Thames, Littleton, Chertsey, Shepperton and throughout Surrey.

Dental implants with dentures in Surrey
You may choose to combine dentures with dental implants which we can help you with at Shepperton Dental.
Mini dental implants are used to hold your dentures firmly in place meaning your dentures won’t become loose or slip and you won’t need to apply lots of adhesive either.
Mini dental implants by their nature are smaller and less invasive than usual dental implants. They not only hold your dentures firm, but they will also preserve the bone around your dental implant.
