What are complete dentures?
Complete dentures, also called full dentures, replace all natural teeth in the upper jaw, lower jaw or both. They are individually made to work with the shape of the mouth and the relationship between the jaws.
When might complete dentures be discussed?
They may be discussed when a person has no natural teeth remaining in an arch, when an existing full denture needs replacement, or when teeth are planned for removal. Whether a complete denture is appropriate and whether another option should also be considered depends on clinical assessment for Complete Dentures London.
Planning appearance, fit and function
A consultation provides time to discuss what you like or dislike about an existing denture, photographs or previous tooth appearance where relevant, and priorities such as support, speech, comfort and chewing. No website can guarantee a particular result, but careful planning and trial stages allow the clinical team and patient to review the proposed denture before completion for Complete Dentures London.
Typical stages
The exact sequence varies, but treatment may include assessment, records or impressions, jaw measurements, trial stages, fitting and review. If extractions or healing are involved, the pathway may be different and adjustments or later changes may be needed.
When an existing full denture becomes loose
The mouth can change over time, and the fit of a denture may change with it. A loose, worn or uncomfortable denture should be assessed. Depending on its age, condition and fit, relining, adjustment or replacement may be discussed; the appropriate option is case-specific for Complete Dentures London.

What is a denture?
People wear dentures to replace lost or missing teeth so they can enjoy a healthy diet and smile with confidence. Dentures are made of either acrylic (plastic) or metal. A ‘complete’ or ‘full’ denture is one which replaces all the natural teeth in either the upper or lower jaws. Full dentures, to replace all your own teeth, fit snugly over your gums. They will help you to eat comfortably and speak clearly, and will improve your confidence, as complete denture starts from £700 to £975 per arch for Complete Dentures London.
How long will my dentures last?
So long as you treat your dentures well, they should last for years. However, your dentures may need to be relined or re-made due to normal wear or a change in the shape of your mouth. Bone and gum ridges can shrink, causing your jaws to meet differently. Loose dentures can cause health problems, including sores, not to mention discomfort. A loose or ill-fitting denture can also make eating and talking more difficult. It is important to replace worn or poorly fitting dentures before they cause problems with Complete Dentures London.
