Dentures in Crawley
Dentures are removable false teeth that can fit in the mouth to replace teeth that have been lost or extracted. Denture consultations are free.
How can dentures help?
Tooth loss is a natural part of life that many of us have to face. Dentures can have a transformative effect on lives as they improve how you eat and speak, as well as boosting your confidence by restoring your smile. They can also enhance facial shape, especially around the lips and in the cheek area.
You can either have partial dentures for a few missing teeth or full dentures to replace a whole set of teeth on the upper or lower jaw. Dentures are usually made from acrylic, or a combination of acrylic and metal, and modern materials mean that partial dentures will blend in beautifully with existing teeth and complete dentures can pass for the real thing.

Consultation and impressions
Following a comprehensive consultation involving x-rays and a full assessment, we take impressions of your mouth for the lab who will make the dentures.

Fitting
When the dentures are ready, you will be invited in for a fitting.

Complete or partial
Complete dentures consist of a gum coloured arch with a set of prosthetic teeth attached. Partial dentures will be used if you only have one or a few missing teeth and may be held in place with metal hooks attached to existing teeth.

Review
When you have tried out your dentures for a week or so, you will be invited back for a review appointment to check they still fit properly and remain fully functional.
How do I care for my dentures?
Dentures should be removed before you go to bed so your gums can have a rest, but they must be stored in water or denture fluid as they could lose their shape if allowed to dry out. Clean your dentures with a toothbrush or a special denture brush and keep your gums and any remaining teeth clean too. To get used to eating, it’s best to start with softer foods and slowly introduce more challenging items.
