Dentures

we understand how much missing teeth can affect your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Our custom-made dentures are designed to restore function and aesthetics, giving you a smile that feels natural and comfortable. Whether you need a few teeth replaced or a full set of dentures, our team is here to provide solutions tailored to your needs.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable dental appliances used to replace missing teeth and surrounding gum tissue. They are crafted from high-quality acrylic, resin, or metal frameworks to create a secure and comfortable fit.

Dentures help you regain your smile’s appearance and restore chewing and speaking ability. Patients often search for “full dentures Durham”, “partial dentures near me”, and “implant-supported dentures Durham” — we proudly offer all these options at Castle View Dental Surgery.

Types of Dentures We Provide

Full (Complete) Dentures

Designed to replace all the teeth in the upper or lower arch, full dentures rest comfortably on the gums and are ideal for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth.

Partial Dentures

If you still have some healthy natural teeth, partial dentures fill the gaps left by missing teeth, preventing neighbouring teeth from shifting out of place.

Flexible Dentures

Made from lightweight, flexible materials that adapt to the natural contours of your mouth for improved comfort and aesthetics.

Implant-Retained Dentures

For added stability, dentures can be secured to dental implants. This option helps prevent movement or slipping, especially in the lower jaw, offering greater confidence and comfort.

FAQs

How long do dentures last?

Most dentures last 5–8 years before they need relining, adjustment, or replacement due to changes in your gums and jawbone.

Will dentures feel uncomfortable at first?

A brief adjustment period is normal, but we’ll work closely with you to ensure the best possible fit and comfort.

Can I eat normally with dentures?

Yes. Start with softer foods and gradually move to firmer options as you adjust. Implant-retained dentures offer the most stability.

Do dentures look natural?

Absolutely. Our custom-made dentures are carefully crafted to match your natural gum and tooth shade for a lifelike appearance.

How do I know if I need full or partial dentures?

Our dentist will assess your oral health and recommend the best type of denture based on how many teeth need replacing.

Can I sleep with my dentures in?

It’s recommended to remove them at night to give your gums a rest and maintain good oral hygiene.
