Losing several or all of your teeth can change the way you eat, speak and feel about your smile. Dentures offer a practical way to replace what’s missing without the need for fixed treatment.
At Broad Street Dental Practice, we plan dentures around your mouth, your appearance and how you need your new teeth to function, with options for both partial and complete tooth loss. And if you’ve already got dentures that have become loose or difficult to live with, we’ll look at why and what could make them work better for you.
A partial denture replaces one or more missing teeth while working alongside the natural teeth you still have. A complete denture replaces all of the teeth in your upper or lower jaw.
Whichever you need, the aim is to create replacement teeth that sit comfortably in your mouth, support your bite and look natural alongside your features.

Back to general dentistry
Replacing teeth isn’t simply about filling the gaps.
The size, shape, shade and position of the teeth all contribute to the finished result, particularly when we’re replacing a larger number of teeth. Your dentures also need to work with your bite and provide the right support for your lips and face.
We’ll take all of this into consideration when planning them, so your new teeth are made for you rather than simply made to fit a space.
A denture that once fitted well can become less secure over time.
After teeth are lost, the shape of the gums and underlying bone can gradually change. As the mouth changes, an older denture may begin to move, rub or make certain foods more difficult to eat.
Sometimes an adjustment, reline or replacement denture may be appropriate. For patients who want considerably more stability, dental implants can also be used to help secure a removable denture in place.
Dentures aren’t the only way to replace missing teeth, and we’ll make sure you understand the alternatives before deciding.
If you want to avoid surgery or prefer a removable solution, conventional dentures may suit you well. If you’re struggling with movement or want replacement teeth that feel more secure, implant-retained dentures or fixed implant teeth may be worth exploring.
You don’t need to know which option you want before you come in. We’ll assess your mouth and explain what is realistically possible.

New dentures can take a little time to become accustomed to, particularly if you’ve never worn them before.
Eating and speaking can initially feel different while your mouth adapts. We’ll make sure you know how to wear and care for your dentures, and if something doesn’t feel right, we can check whether an adjustment is needed.
Looking after any remaining natural teeth and your gums is just as important, so we’ll also give you practical advice on keeping your mouth healthy around your dentures.
Whether you’re replacing your first few missing teeth or have worn dentures for years, the goal is the same: replacement teeth that are comfortable, functional and straightforward to live with.
We’ll help you understand the different ways of achieving that, including when a conventional denture is the simplest solution and when dental implants could offer something more.
