Full dentures treatment at Smile Dentist London

Understanding the Treatment

What Are Full Dentures?

Full dentures (also known as complete dentures) are custom-made removable prosthetics used when all of the natural teeth in the upper or lower jaw are missing. Each denture consists of artificial teeth set into a gum-coloured acrylic base, designed to rest comfortably on the gums and supporting bone. Full dentures form part of our wider range of denture treatments available at the practice.

Custom-Made

Each full denture is individually designed using detailed impressions, bite records, and tooth selection, so the result is tailored to the shape of your mouth and facial features.

Restores Appearance

Full dentures can help restore the appearance of a complete smile and support the lips and cheeks, which may improve facial profile following long-term tooth loss.

Supports Function

Well-fitted full dentures may help support chewing and speech. Outcomes vary between individuals and can improve further as you adjust to wearing them.

Is This Treatment for You?

Who Are Full Dentures Suitable For?

Full dentures may be considered in a range of clinical situations. A thorough assessment is always carried out to confirm whether dentures, or an alternative such as implant-supported dentures, may be more appropriate for you.

Loss of All Teeth in One or Both Jaws

Full dentures are designed for patients who have lost, or will soon lose, all of the natural teeth in the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both.

Replacing Older Dentures

Existing dentures that have become loose, worn, or uncomfortable can sometimes be replaced with a new set that is better fitted to the current shape of your mouth.

Patients Not Suitable for Implants

For patients where dental implants are not a suitable option due to bone quality, general health, or personal preference, conventional full dentures remain a well-established alternative.

Following Multiple Extractions

Where remaining teeth have a poor long-term outlook and require removal, full dentures — or an immediate denture approach — can form part of the planned treatment.

Important: Suitability for full dentures depends on a clinical assessment of your gums, bone, oral tissues, and general health. Your dentist will discuss all suitable options during your consultation.

Options Available

Types of Full Dentures

Full dentures are available in different forms depending on your clinical needs, timing preferences, and the approach your dentist recommends after assessment.

Conventional Full Dentures

Made and fitted after any remaining teeth have been removed and the gums have healed. This allows for accurate impressions and careful fitting based on the final shape of the ridge.

Immediate Full Dentures

Prepared in advance and fitted on the same day any remaining teeth are removed, so you are not without a denture during healing. Relining or replacement may be needed as the gums settle.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Where clinically appropriate, implant-supported dentures use dental implants to help stabilise the denture. Suitability depends on bone quality, general health, and clinical assessment.

Why Consider Full Dentures

Benefits of Full Dentures

Full dentures are a long-established treatment option for complete tooth loss. The outcome depends on your individual clinical situation and personal goals.

Restored Smile Appearance

Full dentures can help restore the appearance of a complete smile and provide support to the lips and cheeks, which may positively influence facial appearance.

Non-Surgical Option

Full dentures are a removable, non-surgical option for replacing missing teeth, which can be an important consideration for patients who are not suitable for, or do not wish to undergo, implant surgery.

Customisable Aesthetics

Tooth shade, shape, and positioning can be selected during the try-in stage, allowing the denture to be adjusted to suit your preferences before the final fit.

Adjustable and Repairable

Full dentures can usually be adjusted, relined, or repaired over time as the mouth changes, which can help extend their comfort and useful life.

What to Expect

The Full Dentures Process

Making well-fitting full dentures typically involves several carefully planned appointments. Each stage helps ensure a result that supports comfort, function, and appearance.

Step 1

Consultation & Assessment

Your dentist will review your dental and medical history, examine your mouth, and discuss your goals and expectations.

Step 2

Impressions & Records

Detailed impressions of your gums are taken, along with bite records, to capture how your upper and lower jaws meet.

Step 3

Try-In Stage

A wax version of the denture is tried in so that fit, tooth position, shade, and overall appearance can be reviewed and adjusted.

Step 4

Fitting Appointment

The finished denture is carefully fitted, and your bite and comfort are checked. Minor adjustments may be made at this stage.

Step 5

Review & Adjustments

Follow-up visits allow your dentist to fine-tune the fit and address any sore spots as your mouth adjusts to the new denture.

Living With Full Dentures

Adjustment, Care & Longevity

Adapting to new full dentures takes time. Most patients notice gradual improvement in comfort, speech, and eating as the tissues and muscles adjust.

Initial Adjustment

Speech, eating, and comfort may feel different at first. This is normal and typically improves over the following weeks with practice and any minor adjustments.

Daily Care

Dentures should be cleaned daily using a denture brush and non-abrasive cleaner, and removed at night to allow the gums to rest.

Longevity & Review

Gums and bone gradually change shape over the years. Regular review appointments help monitor fit and oral health, and relining or replacement may be needed over time.

Please note: Longevity and comfort vary between individuals and cannot be guaranteed. Your dentist will discuss expected outcomes and care guidance during your consultation.
