MISSING TEETH OPTIONS
What is a Denture?
Dentures are removable, custom-made teeth used to replace missing teeth and help restore your smile, chewing and speech.
They can replace several missing teeth with a partial denture or all teeth in the upper or lower arch with a full denture.
Dentures are one of several options for replacing missing teeth. Depending on your needs, you may also be suitable for a dental implant or dental bridge. Your dentist can explain the differences in comfort, longevity, maintenance and cost so you can choose the option that suits you.
WHICH OPTION IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
Denture, Bridge or Implant?
There are several ways to replace missing teeth, and the right option depends on your teeth, gums, bone and preferences.
- Denture – a removable option that can replace one, several or all missing teeth and may be suitable when a fixed bridge or implant is not preferred.
- Dental bridge – a fixed replacement supported by the teeth beside the gap. It may suit patients missing one or a few teeth, particularly when neighbouring teeth already need crowns.
- Dental implant – replaces the missing tooth independently with an implant placed in the jawbone, without relying on neighbouring teeth.
Our dentists can assess your smile and explain which option may be most suitable for you.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Are dentures suitable for everyone?
Dentures can be a good option for many people with missing teeth, but the best choice depends on your remaining teeth, gums, bite and overall oral health.
What is the difference between partial and full dentures?
A partial denture replaces some missing teeth, while a full denture replaces all teeth in the upper or lower arch.
How long do dentures last?
Dentures can last for several years, but your gums and jaw can change over time. Regular dental reviews help ensure they continue to fit comfortably.
Will dentures feel comfortable?
New dentures can take some time to get used to. Your dentist will check the fit and make adjustments where needed to improve comfort.
Can I eat normally with dentures?
Most patients can return to a wide range of foods once they become accustomed to their dentures, although very hard or sticky foods may be more difficult.
Are dentures my only option for missing teeth?
No. Depending on your situation, you may also be suitable for a dental bridge or dental implant. Your dentist can explain the differences and help you choose the most suitable option.
