What Are the Benefits of Getting Dentures Privately? – Private denture procedures will most likely give you more freedom and choice with your dentures. This does not just apply to the range of treatments available (for instance flexible dentures, different types of partial dentures etc) but to the actual dentures themselves.
The materials used may cost more, placing more emphasis on the aesthetics of your dentures. The pink acrylic used will be more naturally shaded to be less noticeable in your mouth and it may be harder, meaning it will last longer. The false teeth may also look more realistic and be of a more durable material which is less susceptible to staining and everyday wear.
Because your money pays for more time spent on making the dentures you may also be able to incorporate any customisation that makes your dentures either more comfortable (sculpting around the gum area) or more realistic (making some teeth twisted slightly or having some space between the teeth).

What are the downsides of having dentures? – It’s important to have realistic expectations of dentures. Dentures are removable, they’re not a permanent, fixed solution to missing teeth. Getting used to them will take time, and they may feel a bit uncomfortable to start with.
Your dentist may schedule a check-up appointment a week after fitting your new dentures to check the fit and make any necessary adjustments. Your dentures should start to feel more secure as you get used to them. Generally, dentists advise against wearing dentures at night. But your dentist may suggest that you wear them night and day for the first week or two, to help you get used to them.
You may find some words difficult to pronounce at first, but this usually improves with time. Try reading out loud to practice. It can take a while to get used to eating with new dentures, so it’s best to start with soft food. Try to use both sides of your mouth at the same time.
Which are better NHS or private dentures?
Dentures Dentures are used to replace anything from one missing tooth to a full set of teeth and in many cases are the best option for certain situations. The bases for the dentures can be made of either metal or acrylic. Generally we need a few strategically placed teeth to provide neat metal dentures.
- These have the benefit that they can be removed easily for daily cleaning.
- They sometimes require a little bit of tooth preparation in order to achieve the best design, but this preparation is minimal and not detrimental to the tooth.
- When there are insufficient teeth left to help retain the metal based dentures we can provide acrylic dentures.
These can give a very natural appearance and if teeth were lost a long time ago, they help support the lips and cheeks properly. We like to see our denture patients who have any teeth for regular inspections which we tailor to the individual. For patients who have no remaining teeth we like to see them annually to ensure their mouth is healthy and that the dentures are still fitting correctly.
If you require new dentures then please our reception to arrange an appointment for a full mouth assessment. We will then happily discuss your options and provide details of costs. We provide NHS and Private dentures. What is the difference between NHS and Private dentures? NHS dentures use a standard construction technique and tooth type.
The extra cost for private dentures reflects the extra time required, both in the surgery and laboratory, to satisfy your requirements for greater detail in the construction and choice of tooth type. Full lower dentures are not as stable as full upper dentures and most patients complain of movement when eating.
This happens because the lower jaw only has a horseshoe shaped ridge to balance the denture on and the tongue and lips exert forces on the denture which can destabilise it. There is now the possibility of significantly improving patients’ quality of life by stabilising lower dentures with 2 implants.
The implant retained over denture has two small inserts fitted to the under surface which clip onto 2 small implant studs. For more information please refer to our pages or to discuss your individual options.
Why are my dentures so expensive?
Denture material We offer dentures in acrylic plastic and chrome metal. While chrome dentures are incredibly strong, the chrome material is more expensive than acrylic which results in a higher-priced denture. As a result, many patients opt for an acrylic denture at a lower cost.

Can you give oral with dentures?
Care for your dentures during sex – Once you know that you are in excellent health conditions and you want to recover your sexual life, we recommend the following points.
- Resume sexual activity once you have gotten used to your new teeth, be patient. It is important that for things to work properly in bed, you feel your dentures as something that is already part of you, not as something foreign and uncomfortable. Your cheek muscles should get used to your new teeth so that they are not a distraction or something that can inhibit you during sex. Besides, that way kissing will be as pleasant as it has always been.
- If you notice that your saliva production has increased or decreased, don’t worry or think that your partner might pull away from you for that reason. Use it to your advantage! Remember that if you have proper oral hygiene, saliva can function as a natural lubricant. Not everything is bad! In addition, the unusual production of saliva will gradually decrease.
- No wild sex! Forget about gags or sex toys that could remove your teeth, damage your teeth, deform them or simply render them useless. You must be very careful with this because you could even cause a jaw dislocation that moves the jaw bone out of position, which can cause, in addition to intense pain, more serious health problems in your mouth.
- Can you perform oral sex ? Of course it is. Many people are afraid to kiss another person or perform oral sex for fear that their partner – if he or she doesn’t know – will notice that they have dentures. We want to tell you that science is advancing day by day and dental appliances are becoming more comfortable and less noticeable. False teeth are no exception. So, no more inhibitions and go on as you normally do.
- If the trust between you and your partner is total, you can even remove your dentures during sex, as many claim to experience new sensations and experiences. Remember to place it in a container with its cleaning agent to avoid damaging it.
Can I pull all my teeth and get dentures?
Can I Have All My Teeth Extracted And Get Dentures? Having a mouth without teeth is a scary thought. If you have lost all your teeth or must get them extracted for reasons like gum disease, excessive decay, or other problems, it helps to discuss your situation with the dentist near you to determine your best course of action.
Getting all your teeth pulled and replaced with dentures is indeed possible. However, advances in dentistry currently make available more options to replace missing teeth, including traditional and implant-supported dentures. Therefore it helps if you start learning about both options as you need a complete mouth restoration.
If you must get all your teeth removed and intend to replace them with dentures, please continue reading to learn more about these prosthetics to make an informed decision.
How long after getting all teeth pulled can you get dentures?
When Is The Appropriate Time To Get A Denture After Tooth Extraction? – Typically, dentures are fixed between 3-6 months after tooth extraction. That allows the gum tissues and teeth bone to heal properly before the dentures come in. The good news is that you don’t need to worry about your dental appearance and gums during the waiting period because your dentist would provide you with temporary or immediate dentures near you while your gums and teeth bone is on their healing process.
Do dentures have to look fake?
Denture Designs That Look Natural – Another problem with cheap dentures is that they’re mass-produced and feature all the same size and shape of teeth. These standardized, even teeth can be picked out easily–they just don’t look like natural teeth. With high quality dentures, your teeth can be designed individually so that they look like natural teeth.
- If you want, you can choose to model your dentures after your natural teeth and turn back the clock to what your smile looked like when you were much younger.
- Or you can get an entirely new smile that is custom-designed for you, with each tooth specifically shaped, turned, and placed to give an attractive, natural appearance.
The denture base needs to be designed properly, too. While many denture bases are just made of flat, uniformly tinted plastic, dentures can also be designed with more distinct coloration and the same translucency and marbling as natural gums.
Can dentures be permanently glued in?
Can dentures be permanently glued in? – No, dentures cannot be permanently glued in. Permanent dentures are attached to dental implants.
Do dentures ever feel normal?
If you want to know if your dentures will feel normal, the answer is yes. You may have recently gotten the teeth, or perhaps you are considering getting them. You might want to know what to expect. The good news is that today’s prosthetics feel more natural than ever, and you can get accustomed to them quickly.
Are dentures cheaper than implants?
Costs – Dental implant treatment requires a complex procedure, meaning it’s usually a more expensive solution than dentures. Implants are also made from high quality materials (the implant itself is made from titanium, and the crown is made from ceramic or porcelain).
- In comparison, dentures are usually made from acrylic.
- Dentures are often a less expensive solution than dental implants, but they will need to be replaced every five to eight years.
- Partial dentures can also be made using metal, which is stronger and lighter than acrylic dentures, but these generally cost more.
You might also be able to get dentures on the NHS, whereas you usually need to pay for implant treatment privately, You might be able to get implants on the NHS in rare circumstances, such as if you’ve suffered from mouth cancer or a bad accident where you’ve lost multiple teeth.
Which denture teeth is best?
Snap-in dentures – In terms of stability, snap-in dentures are the best. These dentures securely snap into place with the aid of anchors on existing teeth or dental implants. These dentures are suitable for a patient without any teeth, but who has enough bone tissue to support an implant.
What are the easiest dentures to wear?
So you and your dentist have looked at all the alternatives for missing teeth, discussed them and decided that a partial denture is the way to go. As we have seen, this leaves you with three basic choices:
The Acrylic denture
The Cobalt chrome denture
The Flexi- denture e.g. Valplast TM
More advanced variations are discussed in the section – ‘ Other denture options’ below. Having examined your mouth the dentist will advise you which they feel would be the best for your situation. There are a number of factors that go into making the decision, which we will now look at:
Finances
The acrylic denture is the most basic, easiest to make and therefore the cheapest option. It will cost a few hundred dollars less than the generally superior valplast or chrome denture. See Denture costs for specific details.
Future mouth changes
Is your mouth likely to change? What is the prognosis of the remaining teeth? Generally it is easier to add teeth and make changes to acrylic dentures than chrome dentures. Valplast dentures cannot be added to, so these should only be made where changes are not expected.
Both acrylic and chrome dentures can be relined if you gums shrink (from bone resorption) to make sure they are sitting down appropriately. Difficulties may come when a tooth, or teeth need to be added to the chrome denture in a place away from the metal framework. If the metal framework of your denture lies near to the tooth to be added, it is generally not a problem.
How much does an immediate denture cost?
If it doesn’t, this is technically more difficult, expensive and depending on the design, may or may not be possible. For example, if you have had a denture made to replace two missing back teeth then a front tooth needs extracting and adding, then the modification to your plate is so extreme that it may be simply better to make a new one.
If the prognosis of your remaining teeth is very poor
If you have severe gum disease and are likely to have to add teeth to your denture on a number of separate occasions, then an acrylic denture will make life easier and more cost effective. It will also help with developing muscle control in preparation for perhaps a full denture down the track.
Appearance
The best appearance is likely to come from the valplast denture since it contains no metal at all and blends very naturally with your existing gums. Cobalt chrome dentures tend to be the next best, as the framework provides more grip to allow the denture to be made thinner than its acrylic rival.
Because it is supported by your teeth and grips better, your mouth is able to move more naturally and confidentally during eating and speaking. Acrylic dentures are often significantly more bulky (unless just replacing one or two teeth), requiring different muscle control- which can lead to a slightly less natural appearance.
They do however have less visible metal than a cobalt chrome denture, with just the metal clasp arms to help with retention. Obviously a balance between grip and looks is important and talking to your dentist about any concerns over visible metal is a must.
Often there is a pay off and a comprise is needed. Some patients want optimum aesthetics and some don’t care how it looks, as long as they can chew- most patients lie somewhere in between and in each case their smile is different. The nearer the front and the more gum you show when you smile, the more that metal tends to be a problem.
In some cases, patients have clasps on their front teeth that are never seen because their smile is so low showing very little teeth. Appearance will of course, not only be effected by the type of denture, but the quality and design of the denture and dentist and technicians ability to get the teeth’s shape, colour, size, and position right.
Support (tooth or mucosal borne)
Acrylic dentures and valplast dentures are both types of ‘ mucosal borne denture ‘- that is they sit on your mucosa. Cobalt chrome dentures are different, in that they are generally supported by teeth; i.e. tooth bourne dentures, Note- if there isn’t a back tooth for support, (a situation known as a free end saddle), then the chrome denture will get some support from the gum and some from the teeth; in which case it is actually a tooth and mucosal borne denture,
Feel
As a general rule chrome dentures are the most comfortable and best tolerated. Followed by valplast and finally acrylic dentures. Because of the strength of the metal framework and the great grip they achieve from teeth, chrome dentures can be made thinner and more streamlined, therefore they cover less of the mouth- especially in the palate where they can be cut away to leave the roof of your mouth exposed.
This is much more comfortable and feels nicer to the tongue; it helps with taste and telling the temperature of your food and doesn’t affect your speech as much. A thinner cobalt chrome lower denture can be kept away from the gums to improve hygiene and is much better tolerated by the curious tongue.
Acrylic dentures need to be made to cover a larger area since this is how they get their support, retention and stability and as such they naturally tend to be bigger and more bulky. Because they need to be larger, it takes a bit more for your tongue, cheeks and lips to get used to them and for you to develop the necessary muscle control to use them.
They are more likely to move around, drop, affect your speech and give problems, than the other two options. That’s not to say they will, just that they are more likely to. The flexi-denture grips the teeth tightly around the margins. Getting it in and out can sometimes be difficult but this comes with the added confidence of knowing it’s not going to fall out.
Where teeth on both sides of your upper jaw are missing, it will need to cover your palate in the same way as an acrylic denture. However if you are missing teeth only on one side, the flexi- denture can be a great small, simple and comfortable solution to fill the space effectively.
Grip and stability
We have mentioned repeatedly that the grip (retention) and stability of an acrylic denture is less than the cobalt chrome denture and the flexi- denture. They are much more prone to movement, dropping and require greater muscle control to be successful.
The grip will depend on many factors See- Retention such as the number and position of the missing teeth but with all things being equal, the best grip probably goes to the cobalt chrome, closely followed by the valplast. The cobalt chrome has the advantage of being able to modify and use the teeth to improve retention, stability and bracing,via clasps, rest seats, guide planes and its path of insertion.
Valplast relys on its slightly flexible gum clasps, (that are an extension of the main base) to grip around the teeth and it’s very tight fit to hold it in place. It is a much more secure option than the acylic denture.
Dexterity and control
Some patients can have difficulty putting in and taking out their dentures if they have for example, arthritic conditions or neuromuscular conditions such as Parkinson’s. It is crucial that dentures can be removed for cleaning or the remaining teeth will suffer.
The denture must be made and designed with this in mind. Acrylic dentures generally have the least grip and so are easiest to get in and out. Cobalt chrome dentures need to have their clasps around the teeth appropriately tightened – not too tight so they cannot be removed and not so loose that the dentures jump around.
Flexi-dentures can have so much grip that even very capable adults can sometimes struggle to remove them. Therefore, if dexterity is an issue, they may be best avoided. Any conditions affecting muscle control, such as paralysis from a stroke, Bell’s palsy, muscular dystrophy, even advanced old age etc.
Health
When it comes to oral health, the most important factor by far is how well you look after and clean your dentures, The design and type of dentures does have some effect on health, but this is secondary to your hygiene. The risks associated with dentures are discussed in the next article.
The most healthy dentures cover the least amount of gum and gingival margin. For this reason, appropriately designed cobalt chrome tooth- borne dentures, tend to trap the least plaque and are most conducive to healthy teeth and gums. Small, single sided flexi-dentures are also very healthy. Acrylic dentures, which require more gum and tooth contact to be effective, are thus the most prone to problems if proper oral hygiene is not being done.
My final thoughts All things being equal and where sufficient good teeth are available, it is best if your denture is supported by your remaining natural teeth- that means having a chrome denture. Acrylic dentures are best if lots of changes to the teeth and mouth are expected.
What is the average age to get dentures?
Conclusion. While many get their first set of false teeth between 40 and 49, the need to replace teeth becomes nearly universal as people age. However old one is or whatever the situation, using dentures to replace missing teeth can mean better speech, easier eating, a healthier face and a great smile.
What is the biggest problem with dentures?
Teeth, no matter how strong they are, are prone to deterioration and injury. People frequently lose their teeth for a wide range of reasons, Dentures, thankfully, provide a solution for missing teeth. It is also a very cost-effective solution. While dentures have been worn for a long time and have been improved to look more natural and feel more comfortable, there are still certain concerns that might arise when wearing fresh dentures.
- It is critical to properly care for your new set of teeth to reduce the likelihood of these issues.
- What Are Common Problems With Dentures? Dentures, while useful, are not without flaws.
- Issues may emerge if they are not properly cared for or altered.
- These are some common concerns that must be addressed right away, ranging from slipping to feeling comfy to generating bad breath: 1.
Bad Breath Dentures can store bacteria that cause foul breath if not carefully cleaned. Food and drink particles, as well as bacteria, can become caught in the crevices of your dentures. If not completely cleaned, they can congregate and multiply, giving off a terrible odour,
Dry mouth, which is frequent among denture wearers, exacerbates the condition. Bacteria thrive in a dry mouth. Bad breath might occur if your mouth produces less saliva to keep it moist. Finally, denture discomfort and inflammation in the gums might lead to the development of halitosis.2. Chewing or Speaking Difficulty It takes practice to eat and converse with dentures.
Dentures are less stable and prone to fall out of position since there isn’t much gum or bone underneath to resist movement. In fact, chewing meals with new dentures can take up to 5 times longer.3. Excessive Saliva Production Excessive salivation is a natural reaction to new dentures. It takes some time to get adjusted to new dentures. It is natural to feel them slipping out of place when you grin, laugh, speak, or cough. Unlike natural teeth, which are securely implanted in your gums and jaw, dentures require your muscles to work overtime to keep them in place.
Biting them down usually works, but you can also use denture adhesive for more support. However, loose denture problems can also be caused by physiological changes in your mouth, as the bone in your jaw shrinks over time. Loose or ill-fitting dentures can cause pain by rubbing against the delicate tissues of your gums.
Upper denture problems can make it difficult to enjoy your food. Because it covers taste buds on the roof of your tongue, a small slip can make it difficult to taste.5. Gum and Mouth Pain It is common to experience discomfort or inflammation in your mouth after installing your dentures.
Again, it takes some getting used to. Over-the-counter creams, lubricants, and pain relievers can help. Request a prescription from your dentist and carefully follow the instructions. If the pain persists, it could be due to the fit of your dentures. The discomfort may be caused by dentures that do not fit properly into your gums, putting additional pressure on a specific area.
Similarly, painful spots can be caused by poor dental hygiene. As a result, bacteria and fungi can build up and inflame your gums.6. Jaw Disorder Your lower denture problems may be causing jaw issues, such as popping or grinding. In the worst-case scenario, you may have a temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ).
- The temporomandibular joints connect your skull to your jaw and allow you to move your jaw up and down and side to side.
- Dentures should ideally be made to provide you with the best possible bite.
- However, some dentists may still use outdated bite measurement techniques.
- As a result, your dentures do not provide you with an optimal bite.
Your jaw joint and muscles will not be able to perform as efficiently as they normally do if they are badly made and fitted. In the long run, your muscles will deteriorate and your jaw joint will become dislocated. Even if dentures are correctly designed, jaw diseases might occur if they are not utilized as suggested by your dentist or are not updated when necessary.7.
- Strange Facial Expressions Your dentures should appear as natural as possible.
- The size and fit of your dentures might have an impact on how your face moves.
- Your mouth will lose support if your dentures are too short, and your nose will move closer to your chin.
- Your wrinkles will deepen, your face will shorten, and you will appear older as a result of this.
Additionally, it can make your face look odd if the size isn’t set appropriately. Teeth that are too large, also known as “Chicklet teeth,” will expose too much gum and require more muscle power to move. If your dentures are too small, they will make your face appear flat. Food and plaque adhere to dentures in the same manner that they adhere to natural teeth. After eating and drinking, dental plaque builds on dentures and teeth, forming a sticky film of germs. Plaque can build up on your dentures if you don’t clean them regularly, putting you at risk for gum disease and bad breath.
- Cleanings should be done regularly to maintain your oral health.
- Brush your dentures at least once every day.
- It’s even better if you brush them twice a day, in the morning and at night.
- Dentures must be cleaned thoroughly each night after removal if they are to last a long time.
- When to Call Your Dentist Dental visits are an important element of maintaining your oral health.
Have regular dental checkups with your dentist every 6 months if you wear dentures. If you have any worries regarding your dentures, you should also contact your dentist. Make an appointment if you have any of the following problems and symptoms of ill-fitting dentures:
Discomfort Slipping Noise or popping when conversing or eating Worn or broken Oral source, bleeding gums, and bad breath
