Dentures
Smile with confidence again
Missing teeth can affect how you eat, how you speak, and how you feel about yourself. At Woodberry Down Dental Practice, we understand just how personal this journey can be. That’s why we provide carefully crafted dentures that don’t just replace missing teeth—they help restore your confidence and your quality of life.
Whether you’re missing one tooth or many, we’ll help you find a solution that feels secure, looks natural, and fits comfortably.

What Are Dentures?
Dentures are removable prosthetic teeth designed to replace one or more missing teeth. They’re custom-made to fit your mouth, helping to restore function and appearance. Dentures allow you to eat, speak, and smile more comfortably again, while also supporting your facial muscles and preventing the sunken look that can come with tooth loss.
Types of Dentures
There are two main types of dentures, and Dr Shah and his team will recommend the right option based on your needs:
Complete dentures
are used when all of the natural teeth are missing. They can be made for the upper or lower arch, or both.
Partial dentures
are suitable when only a few teeth are missing. They are supported by the surrounding natural teeth and help maintain alignment and bite balance.
Both types of dentures are fully removable and made from high-quality, durable dental materials designed to mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth.
How Will I Know Which Type I Need?
This depends on how many teeth are missing, the condition of your gums and surrounding teeth, and whether dental implants might be part of your treatment plan. Dr Shah and his team will take the time to assess your situation, explain all the options, and help you make a confident decision.
Benefits of Dentures
Dentures can do more than restore your smile. They can help you chew your favourite foods again, improve speech, and support your facial structure. With the right fit, they can enhance your appearance and help you feel more like yourself again.
Many patients also find that dentures ease discomfort caused by shifting teeth or bite imbalances, improving everyday comfort and wellbeing.
What to Expect From the Process
The process starts with a detailed consultation and impressions of your mouth to ensure an accurate, comfortable fit. These are sent to a dental laboratory, where your bespoke dentures are created.
We’ll work with you to choose the right tooth shape, size, and colour so that your new smile feels natural. Once your dentures are ready, we’ll check the fit and make any necessary adjustments.
Our goal is to ensure they feel secure and function smoothly from the start.
