Dentures – full or
partial tooth replacement

Affordable dentures to restore your smile and confidence

At our dental practice, we provide high-quality dentures to help patients replace missing teeth and regain confidence in their smile. Whether you are missing a few teeth or require full dentures, we offer tailored solutions including acrylic dentures, chrome dentures, implant retained dentures and flexible dentures.

Our goal is to create dentures that not only restore your teeth and gums but also provide a natural appearance, excellent comfort, and long-lasting function.

What are dentures?

Dentures are custom-made removable prosthetics designed to replace missing teeth and restore oral function. They are ideal for patients seeking a reliable and cost effective tooth replacement option.

There are different types of dentures, including:

• Full dentures (also known as complete dentures)

• Partial dentures for when some natural teeth remain

• Flexible dentures for added comfort

• Chrome dentures with a strong metal framework

• Implant retained dentures

Dentures can help support your oral health and help maintain the position of your remaining natural teeth. They can restore function and help you chew again.

Full dentures (complete dentures)

Full dentures are used when all natural teeth are missing in the upper or lower jaw, or sometimes in both. These complete dentures sit on the gums and are carefully designed to restore both function and aesthetic appeal.

Benefits of full dentures:

• Restore your full smile and facial structure

• Improve speech clarity and chewing ability

• Support oral tissues

• Protect the skin around the mouth

• Provide a cost effective solution for full tooth replacement

At our dental practice, full dentures are crafted with precision in collaboration with a dental laboratory, ensuring a comfortable precision fit and a natural look using high-quality acrylic teeth.

Partial dentures for missing teeth

If you still have remaining teeth, partial dentures can be an excellent solution. These are designed to fit around your existing teeth, preserving your remaining natural teeth while restoring function.

Benefits of partial dentures:

• Replace several missing teeth without affecting adjacent teeth

• Prevent movement of remaining teeth

• Improve chewing and speech clarity

• Support overall oral health

We offer both acrylic dentures and chrome dentures as partial tooth replacement options.

Acrylic dentures

Acrylic dentures are one of the most affordable dentures solutions.

Features of acrylic dentures:

• Made from durable, medical grade plastic

• Include natural-looking acrylic teeth

• Suitable for full dentures and partial dentures

• Easy to adjust as your gums change over time

Acrylic dentures partial designs are especially useful as a temporary solution while planning further dental care, such as dental implants.

Many patients prefer acrylic dentures due to their lightweight nature and affordability, making them a cost effective way to restore missing teeth.

Chrome dentures (cobalt chrome dentures)

Chrome dentures, also known as cobalt chrome dentures provide a premium, durable option for partial dentures. The strength of the chrome frame means they are much less bulky to wear and patients find them to be comfortable and discreet.

What makes chrome dentures different?

• Built on a strong metal framework using cobalt chrome

• Can be made with ‘skeleton’ designs, which are small

• Feature a thin metal base for comfort

• Secure fit with precision clasps and discreet metal clasps

• Designed to distribute biting forces evenly across the teeth, protecting the gum tissue

Benefits of chrome dentures:

• More durable and a long lasting solution

• Offer a superior fit and natural feel

• Less bulky than traditional dentures

• Improve optimal function when chewing

Because of the strength of cobalt chrome, these chrome dentures are ideal for patients with healthy remaining natural teeth who want a more advanced partial tooth replacement.

Many patients ask if chrome dentures worth the investment — the answer is yes if you want durability, comfort, and a high-quality finish.

Flexible dentures

Flexible dentures are another type of denture, but much less common option for patients seeking comfort and aesthetics. Ask your dentist for further information if you are considering these.

Benefits of flexible dentures:

• Made from flexible materials for a more comfortable fit

• Blend naturally with gum tissue

• Provide excellent aesthetic appeal

• Reduce gum irritation compared to rigid designs

These are an excellent alternative to traditional dentures, especially for those concerned about visibility or comfort.

Our denture process

At our dental practice, we follow a detailed process to ensure your dentures provide the best possible fit and performance. The process can take between 5 and 8 appointments to complete and may need further appointments to adjust the dentures, for an excellent fit.

Life with dentures

Adjusting to wearing dentures can take an adjustment period, typically a few weeks.

During this time:

• Start with softer foods

• Expect some minor gum irritation

• Practice speaking to improve speech clarity

Over time, dentures remain comfortable and functional, restoring confidence in your smile.

Caring for your dentures

Maintaining proper care is essential for long-lasting dentures and good oral health. If you are visiting the for hygiene visits, the dentures can be cleaned professionally with our EMS machines.

Daily care tips:

• Clean your dentures daily using a soft brush

• Use mild detergent, such as fairy liquid, for cleaning

• Keep your dentures clean to avoid food particles buildup

• Remove dentures overnight to allow your gums to recover

• Keep the dentures in water when not wearing

• Attend regular check ups at Eilertsen Dental Care

Proper care ensures your dentures remain comfortable, hygienic, and effective.

Dentures vs dental implants

While dentures are a removable solution, dental implants provide a more fixed solution. Some solutions mean using implants to retain a denture which can improve the retention. Dental Implants are not a solution for every patient. Dentures remain a popular choice due to their affordability and suitability for a wide range of dental needs.
