When are dentures recommended

Dentures may be recommended when:

  • Multiple teeth are missing
  • Remaining teeth are not suitable to support fixed restorations
  • A removable solution is preferred
  • A more immediate or accessible option is required

They can also serve as a transitional solution while planning longer-term treatments such as dental implants.

Types of dentures

Full dentures
Used when all teeth in the upper or lower jaw are missing. These rest on the gums and are designed to restore overall function and appearance.

Partial dentures
Used when some natural teeth remain. These dentures attach to existing teeth using clasps or precision attachments.

Acrylic or metal-based dentures
Dentures can be made from acrylic materials or reinforced with metal frameworks, depending on strength requirements and design considerations.

Benefits of dentures

Restores your smile
Dentures help fill gaps and improve facial appearance.

Improves chewing and speech
Replacing missing teeth can make eating and speaking more manageable.

Custom-made for your mouth
Each denture is individually designed to suit your anatomy and bite.

Removable for cleaning
Dentures can be taken out, allowing for easy hygiene and maintenance.

A more accessible option
Dentures are often a more immediate or cost-effective way to replace missing teeth.

What others are saying about us
  • I recently had major dental surgery at Altura Cleveland and can't praise, and thank, them enough for their amazing work, care and professionalism. Dr Shaiel, from the first meeting to the final fitting (about 8 visits over a few months) explained everything in layman's terms as to what each treatment would entail, the costs associated with each option and the best options for my final outcome, and the care and time taken to reach that goal was exceptional. I would highly recommend Dr Shaiel and his team.

  • I travel 45 minutes to see these ladies, the surgery practice is absolutely beautiful, clean and cozy. Staff are so kind and welcoming. The fact I had a blanket and headphones to watch whatever I wanted on Netflix was a big bonus too. Last appointment I fell asleep, they are so gentle and caring I will never go anywhere else. Best dentist I’ve ever had and I had a few as a kid with braces

  • This experience has been truly transformative. My dentist was exceptionally supportive, always available to address concerns, answer questions, make necessary adjustments, and provide reassurance that everything was progressing as expected. He ensured that my new teeth were perfectly suited for me.

  • Altura is worth checking out for your dental needs. I came across their well-reviewed and recommended ad and decided to investigate. Dr Bryan is lovely and will work with you individually on achieving the results you’re after and genuinely wants success for you and your smile. Receptionists are friendly and make you feel very welcome too. At the start of my journey but I have been so happy with their service so far.
