Understanding your denture options
Dentures replace missing teeth and the supporting tissues that help your mouth function. The right option depends on the number of missing teeth, the condition of your mouth, any remaining teeth, your priorities and a clinical assessment by our team.
Complete dentures
Complete dentures are used when all natural teeth are missing in the upper jaw, lower jaw or both. They restore appearance, help with speech and chewing, and support the lips and facial muscles.
Partial, flexible and chrome dentures
If you have some natural teeth remaining, a partial denture can replace the missing teeth and help maintain balance and function. Flexible dentures offer a metal-free option, while cobalt chrome dentures use a strong, lightweight metal framework. The most suitable choice depends on your individual case.
Immediate and same-day denture pathways
Same-day dentures can refer to different situations. This may include immediate dentures placed around the time of extractions, or an accelerated laboratory pathway in selected cases.
Not every case is suitable for immediate or same-day treatment. A consultation is needed to confirm what is possible and to plan the best approach.

Dentures
London Denture Care
Denture Options London are removable replacements for missing teeth and surrounding tissues, available in two main types: complete and partial. Complete dentures are used when all teeth are missing, while partial dentures are for patients with some remaining natural teeth. At London Denture Care, high-quality teeth are used, known for their life-like appearance and strength.
Types of Dentures
- Complete Dentures: These can be conventional or immediate. Conventional dentures are made after teeth removal and gum healing (8-12 weeks), while immediate dentures are pre-made and fitted right after teeth removal but require more adjustments as gums heal.
- Partial Dentures: These consist of replacement teeth attached to a pink or gum-colored acrylic base, held in place by a metal framework. Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain.
Benefits of Dentures
Dentures help restore a natural facial appearance, boost self-confidence, and improve the ability to chew food properly, aiding in better digestion and nutrition. They also enhance speech clarity, especially when anterior teeth are replaced. High-quality dentures, like those offered at London Denture Care, use natural-looking acrylic teeth that withstand daily wear and tear.
- Initial Consultation: A thorough dental examination to discuss options, requirements, and budget.
- Impressions and Measurements: Accurate impressions and jaw measurements are taken.
- Trial Dentures: Models, wax forms, and plastic patterns are created for fitting trials.
- Final Denture: After satisfactory trials, the final denture is cast and fitted, with necessary adjustments made for comfort and appearance.
The cost of dentures varies widely:
- NHS Dentures: Approximately £250-£300.
- Private Dentures: Ranges from £500 to £2,500 depending on materials and complexity.
- Dentist Fees: Fees vary based on the dentist’s experience and location.
- Location: Urban dental practices generally charge more than rural ones due to higher overheads.
- Additional Procedures: Pre-existing conditions like gum disease may require additional treatments before denture fitting, increasing the overall cost.
Private dentures cost more but offer better materials, craftsmanship, and customization compared to NHS dentures. Costs range from £500 to £2,500, with higher quality materials like porcelain or zirconia being more expensive.
- Insurance and Financing: Dental insurance may cover part of the cost, and financing options like payment plans can spread out expenses.
- Maintenance and Repair: Regular maintenance and occasional repairs are necessary. Proper care can extend the lifespan of dentures, reducing long-term costs.
