Cosmetic Dentures

Carefully crafted by experts.

We’re pleased to be working in association with Bay One denture clinic who are experts in their field. Bay One’s Clinical Denture Technician Andrew Lindley has 25 years of experience handcrafting bespoke and precision dentures. He will create dentures designed to suit your skin and gum tones as well as your natural tooth arrangement, to deliver a highly aesthetic result. This service is still very new in the UK; we’re proud to be one of the few practices offering this to our patients.

Denture designs have come a long way since the designs of the past. It’s now possible to have better-fitting, aesthetic and durable dentures made in the image of your smile.

Many patients approach us to replace their current dentures with ones that offer a better aesthetic finish and fit and that stand the test of time. Cosmetic dentures have the ability to change the way you feel about your teeth and can restore your confidence and, in turn, your happiness. Transform your entire facial aesthetic and structure with cosmetic dentures.

Why replace missing teeth?

Missing teeth can cause a myriad of issues if left unaddressed for too long. As well as being the reason for unsightly gaps in your smile, impacting self-esteem and your ability to break down foods and ability to speak clearly, tooth loss affects your facial structure, making your skin appear sunken and unhealthy. The absence of teeth leaves your jawbone with no support, resulting in jawbone shrinkage, otherwise known as resorption. Dentures can help to decelerate this process, changing your overall facial appearance.

We can offer both partial dentures, which replace large and continuous gaps in your smile, and full dentures, addressing a whole arch of upper or lower teeth.

What can I expect from treatment with cosmetic dentures?

During your initial consultation with one of our talented consultants Ben or James, you’ll be asked about your medical history, so we can establish your suitability. We also like to get to know what your expectations and motivation for treatment are, so we can best meet your needs. Your cosmetic dentures will be created by taking moulds (also known as impressions) of your teeth, so they can be made to measure for you. Your tooth shade will also be taken into account so that your dentures are a perfect fit in the context of your existing teeth. Once we receive your custom dentures back from the lab, we will invite you in for a fitting and you will leave the practice with a beautiful smile and rejuvenated confidence.

Why choose cosmetic dentures?

Made with you in mind: our aim is to create a set of dentures that suits you, which means looking closely at the shade of your existing teeth and crafting a result that blends in with your smile and gum tones. A natural-looking and authentic result is at the heart of everything we create for patients here at Hunts Cross Dental Centre. Cosmetic dentures yield a straight and healthy-looking smile you can feel great about showing off every minute of every day.

Going beyond your smile: as mentioned above, cosmetic dentures rejuvenate your whole face, addressing and preventing your face from appearing sunken and without structural support.

Replace ill-fitting dentures: whilst cosmetic dentures can address new tooth loss, they can also replace older, less effective dentures that aren’t as sophisticated, cosmetically-appealing and functional as those available today. Dentures that have an optimum fit can also restore your ability to kiss with confidence. Many patients often tell us about how challenging this can be, as older models are prone to slipping and sliding at inopportune moments!

Improve speech and taste: cosmetic dentures have less denture base than the designs of the past, allowing patients to taste and eat a wider variety of foods. Missing teeth can also change the way you speak over time – replacing them will help you enunciate more effectively.

Long-lasting: if properly cared for, dentures can last up to 7 years. Our team will inform you of how best to do this.
