Get your smile back with mydentist dentures

Our experienced dental team will guide you through the process of the fabrication of your custom-made dentures, which typically involves the following steps:

• Assessment: we will assess your teeth to determine if you're suitable for dentures. We will also advise as to whether dentures are your best solution and discuss all options with you.
• Impression: we will make an impression or scan of your remaining teeth and/or gums and send it to one of our laboratories.
• Bite Record: we will record how your teeth and jaws relate to each other so that your dentures will function properly.
• Try-in: an almost finished version of your denture will be placed in your mouth to check the fit and appearance. You can check the look of your denture and any major adjustments or corrections can be made at this stage.
• Final fitting: once your finished denture returns from the laboratory, you will attend a fitting session. Small adjustments are often needed to ensure the fit of your custom-made denture is just right.
• Further appointments: If necessary, we will make further appointments until you're completely happy with your new denture and the denture teeth.

Making dentures is not painful, however some people find the impression technique uncomfortable. Your dentist will use their skill to make this stage of the procedure as comfortable as possible.

Occasionally, after wearing the denture for a few days an area of pressure may come to light causing an ulcer. If this should happen, contact the practice so your dentist can make appropriate adjustments to the denture.

Dentures are considered perfectly safe and should have no effect on your health or well-being. In fact, it’s thought that humans have been using dentures since 2500 BC[1], although they’ve come a long way since then. Our trained clinicians have years of experience in fitting dentures and the procedure is very straightforward. If your denture ever needs repairing, our team can help with that too.
