Dentures
Solutions for Missing Teeth
Missing teeth can make everyday activities like eating, speaking and smiling feel challenging. At Cherwell Heights Dental Care in Banbury, we understand the importance of your smile for how you look and feel. We provide high-quality, custom-made dentures that fit comfortably and look natural.
Types of Dentures
Dentures are custom-made, removable restorations designed to replace missing teeth, helping to restore both the appearance and function of your smile. They are specifically crafted to fit your mouth and allow you to eat with more ease.
- Full (Complete) Dentures – These are used when all teeth are missing in the upper or lower jaw. These dentures sit over the gums and are held in place using natural suction or denture adhesive.
- Partial Dentures – Suitable when some natural teeth remain, partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of replacement teeth set into an acrylic or metal framework, with discreet clasps that attach securely to your existing teeth.
- Implant-Retained Dentures – These dentures are secured to dental implants which are surgically placed in the jawbone. They provide enhanced stability and are even more secure, offering a more natural feel when eating, speaking, and smiling.
Denture Materials
- Acrylic Dentures – Acrylic dentures are the most common and cost-effective option for dentures. These dentures are made from durable acrylic resin and are customised to match your natural teeth. They are:
- Suitable for complete or partial dentures.
- Lightweight, affordable, and easy to adjust and repair.
- Chrome Dentures – Chrome dentures feature a metal framework which provides enhanced strength and durability. These dentures are lightweight and their design allows for a more secure fit, making them suitable for patients seeking a robust and discreet denture. They are:
- Smaller and thinner meaning they are much easier to get used to.
- Long-lasting and resistant to wear, offering excellent retention and stability.
