Dentures at Family Dental Practice in Brighton-Le-Sands
Restore Your Smile with Custom Dentures
Dentures, also known as false teeth, are custom-made dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth. They have a gum-coloured base and artificial teeth that match your natural teeth, providing a functional and aesthetic solution. Dentures are removable for cleaning and sleeping.
Who Needs Dentures?
Dentures are suitable for individuals who have lost some or all of their natural teeth due to decay, injury, or other factors. They are also an option for those who cannot undergo dental implants or bridges due to medical conditions or financial constraints. However, individuals with severe gum disease may need treatment before getting dentures.
Benefits of Dentures

Types of Dentures
Full Dentures
Full dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw and are made of acrylic or other materials. They are custom-made to fit your mouth perfectly.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth and are attached to the remaining natural teeth with a metal framework or other materials.
Flexible Dentures
These are a type of partial denture made from a flexible material that clings to the gums without metal clasps, offering increased comfort and confidence.
Implant-Retained Dentures
Supported by dental implants, these dentures provide a more secure and stable fit. Ideal for those who struggle with traditional dentures.
