Dentures are removable replacement teeth designed to replace teeth that have been lost due to decay, disease, or injury. Dentures sit on top of your gums and are held in place using natural suction and special adhesives. Patients across Sevenoaks and surrounding areas are choosing dentures as an affordable solution to restore their smile and ability to eat and speak normally. Dentures can be full dentures (replacing all your teeth) or partial dentures (replacing some of your teeth)
Implant-supported dentures give your denture a stable, secure fit by anchoring it to dental implants, so you don't have to worry about it slipping when eating or speaking.
If you have several missing teeth, this option uses two or more implants to support a bridge, replacing multiple teeth without touching healthy neighbouring teeth.
There are several different types of dentures available at Smileology in Sevenoaks. Your dentist will discuss which type is most suitable for your needs.
Full Dentures
Full dentures are used when all your natural teeth need to be replaced. A complete upper denture replaces all the upper teeth, and a complete lower denture replaces all the lower teeth. Full dentures are custom-made to fit the shape of your mouth precisely. Many patients choose full dentures because they provide a natural-looking smile and restore the ability to eat and speak normally.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are designed to replace one or more missing teeth while keeping your natural teeth intact. A partial denture has a metal or plastic base that supports the replacement teeth and clasps that attach to your remaining natural teeth. Partial dentures are an excellent choice if you want to preserve your remaining teeth while filling in the gaps. They are also more affordable than full dentures.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures are anchored to dental implants that have been placed in your jawbone. Unlike traditional dentures that rest on your gums, implant-supported dentures are held securely in place by implants. This provides superior stability and prevents the dentures from slipping or moving when you eat or speak. Implant-supported dentures feel more like natural teeth and provide excellent comfort and function. The disadvantage is that they are more expensive and require surgical placement of implants.
Chrome Dentures
Chrome dentures (also called metal dentures) have a metal base instead of plastic. The metal base is stronger, thinner, and more durable than traditional plastic dentures. Chrome dentures are more expensive than acrylic dentures but offer several advantages including better heat conductivity which allows you to feel the temperature of your food, improved comfort, and a more natural appearance. Chrome dentures are an excellent choice for patients who want premium quality and long-lasting durability.
Flexible Dentures
Flexible dentures are made from a flexible plastic material that is more comfortable and flexible than traditional rigid acrylic dentures. Flexible dentures are lighter, more durable, and less likely to break if dropped. They adapt better to changes in your mouth shape and provide superior comfort. Flexible dentures have a more natural appearance with better colour matching to your gums. Many patients prefer flexible dentures because they offer the best combination of comfort, durability, and aesthetics at a reasonable price.

Outstanding emergency and now ongoing treatment for one of my students! We absolutely could not ask for better service, and Dr Chaudhary is probably the best in the business for paediatric dental care. Thank you a million times.

Always an excellent service, friendly and professional.
Gail Walker
I had become very disheartened with another dental practice I'd been a patient with, so I decided to try another practice. I was given an appointment initially for an assessment with Luisa. I couldn't have been made to feel more welcome as soon as I walked into the practice. Alice the practice manager was so friendly & professional. Luisa & her assistant Holly made me feel very comfortable & explained what was actually going on with my teeth & suggested the treatment I needed going forward. The practice was spotlessly clean & a pleasant atmosphere with a bit of music in the background to calm any anxious patient! Even after my first visit I felt this was the practice for me!
Stuart Allen
Charming, funny, kind and professional.
Very happy with my cleaned teeth.
Sandra Robertson
A great, friendly and professional service. Time is taken to explain the check ups and any suggested treatment. I feel more assured and confident that my teeth are well looked after.

Michelle Hughes
I can highly recommend this dental practice! My 11 year old daughter has just had some complex work done on her tooth which she was extremely anxious about. Dr Shah and his dental nurses were so good at reassuring her and they did an amazing job. I always find the team there very friendly and approachable!
We are happy we chose Smileology Sevenoaks.
Great atmosphere, friendly and professional staff who understands the needs of their clients.
Can't wait to visit again soon.
Dentures are removable appliances used to replace missing teeth. Complete dentures replace all teeth in an arch, while partial dentures replace one or more teeth and may be supported by remaining teeth.
Who may be suitable?
Assessment considers the remaining teeth, gums, jaw shape, oral health, dexterity and expectations. Alternatives may include bridges, implants or no replacement where clinically appropriate.
What are the risks and limitations?
Dentures can feel unfamiliar and may initially affect eating or speech. They can loosen as the mouth changes and may require adjustment, relining, repair or replacement. Poor fit or hygiene can contribute to soreness and infection.
What should I know about aftercare and maintenance?
Clean dentures and the mouth daily, remove dentures at night unless your dentist advises otherwise, and attend regular reviews. Contact the practice if a denture causes pain, slips, clicks, breaks or no longer fits.
