Missing teeth can affect much more than how you look—they can impact your ability to eat, speak clearly, and smile with confidence. At Airedale Dental Practice, our team provide bespoke denture solutions designed to restore function, enhance appearance, and improve your quality of life.

Whether you’ve lost some or all of your teeth, modern dentures offer a reliable and natural-looking replacement that helps you get back to living life fully.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are custom-made prosthetic teeth used to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They come in two main types:

• Complete Dentures – Used when all teeth are missing in the upper or lower jaw.
• Partial Dentures – Used when some natural teeth remain and help to fill the gaps.

Made from high-quality materials such as acrylic or metal, today’s dentures are more comfortable, secure, and lifelike than ever before.

Types of Dentures We Offer

At Airedale Dental Practice, we provide a range of modern denture options tailored to your needs, comfort, and lifestyle. Each type has unique benefits, and our team will help you choose the most suitable option:

• Acrylic Dentures: Lightweight, cost-effective, and widely used, acrylic dentures are easy to adjust and a popular choice for many patients.
• Chrome/Metal Dentures: Made with a strong metal base for durability and stability, these dentures are slimmer and often more comfortable to wear.
• Valplast (Flexible) Dentures: A flexible, metal-free option that adapts to the natural shape of your mouth, offering a discreet and comfortable fit without visible clasps.

Whether you prefer the durability of chrome, the affordability of acrylic, or the flexibility of Valplast dentures, we can create a solution that restores your smile with comfort and confidence.

Who Might Need Dentures?

Dentures may be suitable if you:

• Have lost multiple or all of your teeth due to decay, gum disease, or injury
• Are looking for an affordable, non-surgical solution for tooth replacement
• Want to restore your ability to chew, speak, and smile
• Need a temporary solution before considering implants or bridges
• Experience sagging facial muscles due to tooth loss

Our team will carefully assess your oral health, bone structure, and personal goals to recommend the most suitable denture option.

The Denture Fitting Process

Creating a well-fitting denture involves several carefully managed steps.

1. Initial Consultation: Dr Avneet Virk will carry out a full dental examination and discuss your options. This may include X-rays or impressions of your mouth.

2. Impressions and Bite Registration: Precise moulds of your mouth are taken, and we record how your jaws align to ensure a comfortable fit and proper bite.

3. Try-In Stage: A wax model of your denture is created for a trial fitting. This allows you to see how your new smile will look and feel, with adjustments made as needed.

4. Final Denture Placement: Once approved, your final denture is crafted and fitted securely. We’ll ensure the comfort, appearance, and bite are all just right.

5. Follow-Up Care: It’s normal to need some adjustments as your mouth gets used to the new appliance. We’ll provide support and guidance throughout the settling-in period.
