Restore Your Smile with Comfortable, Natural-Looking Dentures
Missing teeth can affect much more than your appearance. They can make eating, speaking and smiling with confidence more difficult.
Dentures are a reliable way to replace missing teeth and restore both function and appearance. Whether you are missing several teeth or all of your teeth, we'll take the time to understand your needs and discuss the treatment options that are right for you.
At Junction Village Dental, we work closely with experienced dental laboratories to create dentures that are comfortable, functional and designed to suit your smile.
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are custom-made removable appliances designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues.
Modern dentures are made using high-quality materials and are carefully designed to restore your ability to eat, speak and smile while supporting your facial appearance.
Every denture is individually made to suit your mouth, ensuring the best possible fit, comfort and function.
Full Dentures
Full dentures replace all of the teeth in either the upper jaw, lower jaw or both.
They are often recommended when all remaining teeth have been lost or require removal due to extensive disease or damage.
A well-made full denture can restore your smile, improve chewing ability and provide support for your lips and facial profile.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth while using your remaining healthy teeth for support.
They can help to:
- Restore your smile
- Improve chewing and speech
- Prevent neighbouring teeth from drifting
- Replace missing teeth without surgery
Your Denture Journey
Every patient is different, so treatment is carefully planned around your individual needs.
Your denture treatment may include:
Consultation
We'll assess your oral health, discuss your goals and determine which type of denture is most suitable for you.
Impressions
Accurate impressions are taken to ensure your denture fits comfortably and functions well.
Try-In Appointment
Before your denture is completed, you'll have the opportunity to see how it looks and feels, allowing any adjustments to be made before the final denture is finished.
Fitting
Once your denture is ready, we'll ensure it fits comfortably and provide advice on wearing, cleaning and caring for it.
Follow-up adjustments may be recommended as your mouth adapts to your new denture.
Caring for Your Dentures
Good denture care is important for both your oral health and the longevity of your dentures.
We recommend:
- Cleaning your dentures every day
- Removing them overnight unless advised otherwise
- Storing them safely when not in use
- Continuing regular dental examinations
Even if you wear full dentures, regular dental visits remain important. During your check-up, we'll assess the fit of your dentures, examine the health of your gums and oral tissues, and professionally clean your dentures.
Are Dentures Right for You?
Dentures may be a suitable option if you:
- Have multiple missing teeth
- Have recently had teeth removed
- Find eating difficult because of missing teeth
- Wear dentures that no longer fit comfortably
- Are looking for a removable tooth replacement option
During your consultation, we'll explain all suitable treatment options, including bridges and dental implants where appropriate, so you can make an informed decision.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do dentures last?
Dentures are durable, but your mouth naturally changes over time. Most dentures will require adjustments, relining or replacement after several years to maintain a comfortable fit.
Will dentures look natural?
Yes. Modern dentures are individually designed to complement your facial features and create a natural-looking smile.
Will I be able to eat normally?
There is usually an adjustment period while you become accustomed to your new dentures. Most patients adapt well over time, and we'll provide advice to help make the transition as comfortable as possible.
Can dentures be repaired?
If your denture becomes damaged or no longer fits comfortably, contact us as soon as possible. Many problems can be repaired or adjusted, but it's important not to attempt repairs yourself.
Do I still need regular dental check-ups?
Yes. Regular examinations allow us to monitor the health of your gums, soft tissues and any remaining natural teeth, as well as assess the fit of your dentures. We can also professionally clean your dentures during your check-up to help remove plaque, calculus and staining.
