Treatment Inner Thumb : Burgate Dental Practice & Implant Centre

At Burgate Dental Practice in Canterbury, we provide dentures to help patients regain both function and appearance when teeth are missing. Dentures can improve speech, chewing, and overall facial aesthetics, helping you feel more confident. Our team offers personalised care, ensuring your dentures are comfortable, natural-looking, and suited to your individual needs.

Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They can be full dentures, replacing all teeth in the upper or lower jaw, or partial dentures, filling gaps when some natural teeth remain. Dentures are custom-made to fit your mouth comfortably and restore normal function, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile more naturally. At Burgate Dental Practice in Canterbury, we focus on creating dentures that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Dentures are suitable for adults who have lost one, several, or all teeth due to decay, injury, or other dental conditions. They help restore chewing ability, support facial structure, and improve speech. Patients at Burgate Dental Practice in Canterbury benefit from dentures that are carefully fitted, comfortable, and designed to look natural. Modern dentures are lightweight, durable, and can significantly enhance confidence while being easy to maintain with proper care.

The Treatment Process

  • Consultation: Your dentist assesses your oral health, discusses options, and determines the most suitable type of dentures.
  • Impressions and Measurements: Moulds of your mouth are taken to create a precise fit.
  • Trial and Adjustment: A trial denture may be provided to check fit, comfort, and appearance.
  • Final Denture Fitting: The completed denture is fitted, adjusted, and polished for optimal comfort and function.
  • Follow-up Care: Your dentist ensures the dentures fit properly and provides guidance on care and maintenance.

What Do We Offer?

At Burgate Dental Practice, our dentures treatments include:

  • Full and partial dentures for upper and lower jaws
  • Customised dentures designed for comfort and appearance
  • Relining, repairs, and adjustments for existing dentures
  • Guidance on cleaning and maintaining dentures at home
  • Support and advice for new denture wearers

These treatments are designed to help patients in Canterbury regain a functional, natural-looking smile safely and comfortably.

After receiving dentures, allow time for adjustment as your mouth adapts. Regular cleaning and proper storage will prolong their lifespan. Routine check-ups at Burgate Dental Practice in Canterbury help maintain fit and oral health.

Dentures at Burgate Dental Practice in Canterbury offer a safe, effective solution for replacing missing teeth. With customised design and careful fitting, dentures restore function, appearance, and confidence.

FAQs

How long do dentures last?

With proper care, dentures typically last 5–10 years. Adjustments may be needed as the mouth changes over time.

Are dentures comfortable to wear?

New dentures may require an adjustment period, but our team ensures a comfortable, personalised fit.

Can dentures help with speech?

Yes. Properly fitted dentures support natural speech, helping with pronunciation and clarity.

How do I clean my dentures?

Clean dentures daily with a soft brush and mild denture cleaner. Avoid using regular toothpaste, which can be abrasive.

Can partial dentures prevent teeth from shifting?

Yes. Partial dentures fill gaps and help maintain the position of remaining natural teeth.
