Dentures in London

Complete and Partial Dentures

Dentures in London are a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. Two types of dentures are available at our dentist in London – complete and partial dentures. Complete dentures are used when all the teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. With modern techniques, Smile Cliniq is able to make well-fitting cosmetic dentures London.

Our false teeth dentures in the UK are fabricated with high-quality, award-winning, life-like, natural and strong Engima teeth from Schottlander, which we believe are the best denture teeth in the UK on the market. In 2004, Schottlander was honoured to receive the Queen’s Award for their Enigma Teeth and Denture System. To quote the Queen’s Award Office, “A Queen’s Award is the highest honour that can be bestowed on a UK business. To have a Queen’s Award is to be acknowledged as the best in your field”. Engima denture teeth have 27 different shapes of teeth available, with 17 different shades, so with a plethora of false teeth options you really get the exact smile you wanted with complete or partial dentures.

When it comes to your false teeth options, complete dentures can be either “conventional” or “immediate.” Made after the teeth have been removed and the gum tissue has begun to heal, conventional dentures are ready for placement in the mouth about 8 to 12 weeks after the teeth have been removed. Unlike conventional dentures, immediate dentures are made in advance and can be fitted as soon as the teeth are removed. As a result, the wearer does not have to be without teeth during the healing period.

However, bones and gums shrink over time, especially during the first weeks following tooth removal. Therefore, a disadvantage of immediate dentures compared with conventional dentures in London is that they require more adjustments (relines) to fit properly during the healing process and generally should only be considered a temporary solution until conventional dentures can be made.

Partial Dentures In The UK

Removable partial dentures in the UK usually consist of replacement teeth attached to a pink or gum-coloured acrylic base, which is connected by a metal framework that holds the dentures in place in the mouth. Partial dentures are used when one or more natural teeth remain in the upper or lower jaw.

Benefits of Dentures in London

The presence of teeth helps to provide a natural facial appearance and can potentially help to increase one’s self-confidence. Furthermore, the denture fittings themselves can provide support for the lips and cheeks that can often take on a ‘collapsed’ appearance in patients with missing teeth. The ability to chew food correctly suffers if teeth are lost and can be improved by wearing dentures. This in turn means that food can be digested more easily as it moves through the body, helping people to take the maximum possible nutritional benefit from the meals they consume. Consequently, both complete and partial dentures can not only boost the health and appearance of the mouth and face but also the body as a whole.

If teeth are lost, people can often find their ability to speak clearly is impaired, particularly in the case of the anterior teeth. Those who opt for our dentures London treatments should therefore find that their pronunciation improves. All dentures of this nature are finished in natural-looking acrylic teeth, meaning they can stand up to the wear and tear that affects teeth daily.

False Teeth Options: Are There Alternatives to Dentures In The UK?

Yes, there are other false teeth options. Dental implants can be used to support permanently cemented bridges, eliminating the need for a complete or partial dentures. The cost is usually greater, but implants and bridges more closely resemble the feel of natural teeth and are fixed in place. Dental implants are becoming the preferred alternative to dentures but not everyone is a candidate for implants.

How Are Dentures in the UK Made?

A series of impressions/scans of your jaw and measurements of how your jaws relate to one another and how much space is between them will be taken.
In certain cases, we will make a laboratory-made special tray to obtain a more accurate impression of your teeth.
We will create models, wax forms, and/or plastic patterns in the exact shape and position of the denture to be made. You will “try in” this model several times and the denture will be assessed for colour, shape and fit before the final denture is cast.
A final denture will be tried and fitted to ensure they’re the best dentures in the UK on the market.
Adjustments will be made as necessary.

The Enigma Cosmetic Denture System can provide natural-looking teeth and gums. Natural teeth are not uniformly white and everyone will have slight variations in colour and little marks or features that make the teeth look individual. It took more than five years to develop the teeth in the Enigma System – a range of teeth that means that denture-wearing can be a secret shared only between clinician and patient, so they’re one of the best false teeth options anywhere. Enigma teeth not only reproduce the wide range of shades, translucencies and vitality of natural teeth but also assure exceptional strength and durability in the mouth.

The picture shows some of how Enigma teeth mimic nature and so enable your clinician to provide the most cosmetic denture possible.

Natural teeth consist of dentine covered with a translucent enamel layer that gives depth to the tooth colour. Enigma teeth have a similar structure with a darker core (dentine layer) covered with an enamel layer that is especially visible at the tip. The blue-white opalescence reproduces the effect of that different structure. Natural teeth brighten in strong sunshine and are still white under disco lighting. Many artificial teeth only do this weakly but the Enigma enamel fluoresces to mimic nature. The teeth next to the front teeth are smaller, lighter and have greater opalescence, whereas the eye or canine teeth are darker. Using these Enigma Teeth will add vitality and make the mouth look three-dimensional – just like your natural teeth – making these the best dentures on the market in the UK.

Depending on how many teeth you have missing, you may have a full or partial denture. You may also have a temporary partial denture while you’re waiting to have a bridge fitted. A full denture is for all teeth, while a partial denture maybe for a couple of teeth.

Dentures are a removable solution, not a permanent one. Getting used to them will take time and they may feel a bit uncomfortable to start with. Also, some words may be difficult to pronounce at first, but this usually improves with time. Looseness can be a problem over time as you loose bone.
