What are dentures?
Dentures are custom-made replacements for missing teeth. They can be full (replacing all the teeth on the upper or lower arch) or partial (filling gaps when some natural teeth remain).
They rest on the gums and are made to fit comfortably, helping you eat, speak and smile with more confidence.
Finding the right fit for you
There’s more than one type of denture — and what works for one person may not suit the next. That’s why we’ll talk you through your options clearly, including:
Traditional full and partial dentures
Flexible or lightweight materials
Implant-retained dentures for added grip and stability
Your comfort matters just as much as your smile. We’ll work closely with you to get both right.
No lectures. No pressure. Just honest care.
We know people put off the dentist for all sorts of reasons — and that’s okay. Whether it’s been six months or six years, we’ll welcome you without judgement and help you feel comfortable from the start.
What to expect - 3 simple steps
1. consultation and planning
We examine your mouth, talk through your goals, and help you decide which type of denture is right for you.
2. impressions and design
We take detailed impressions and measurements to design a denture that fits your gums and bite accurately.
3. fitting and adjustments
Once your denture is ready, we check the fit, comfort and appearance. Small adjustments are made if needed — and we’re always here to help as you get used to it.
Questions about dentures in Leicester?
What’s the difference between full and partial dentures?
Full dentures replace all teeth in one arch (upper or lower). Partial dentures fill the gaps between remaining natural teeth.
How do I care for dentures?
They should be removed and cleaned daily with a soft brush and denture cleaner. We’ll give you full care instructions.
Will dentures affect how I speak?
It may feel different at first, but most people adjust quickly. Any lisp or changes in speech tend to settle with practice.
Are dentures painful?
They shouldn’t be. You might feel some pressure at first, but we’ll help make sure the fit is right and irritation is minimal.
What if I’ve had dentures before but didn’t get on with them?
Let us know. We’ll take the time to understand what didn’t work last time and look at what might suit you better now. That could mean a different type of denture or considering dental implants for extra support and comfort — we’ll talk it through with you.
