Dentures In SHEFFIELD

Our team at Space Dental are passionate about ensuring that all our patients have access to affordable and reliable tooth replacement solutions. As an award-winning dental practice, we offer treatments for dentures in Sheffield to help patients find confidence in their smile again, whilst also solving the issues which can come from having missing teeth.

What Are Dentures?

Many patients will have heard of dentures, but many will associate them with ineffective, messy and unpleasant denture adhesive solutions, may have heard bad things about the treatment from friends or previously experienced uncomfortable and poor-fitting dentures. At Space Dental, we’re here to change all of that with our treatment for dentures in Sheffield and patients have the option between full and partial dentures to ensure they are getting the right treatment for them.

Dentures are artificial, removable sets of teeth which are made uniquely for each patient and have the aim of replacing gaps or full rows of missing teeth. Our team of dentists tailor treatment for dentures in Sheffield to each patient, so that you have a fully customised and unique set of dentures. This then helps to ensure that they are comfortable and well-fitting, getting rid of some of the common complaints that are typical of dentures.

Both full and partial dentures are moulded and created using materials which can be easily crafted to fit the uniqueness of your teeth, all whilst being designed to support the shape and structure of your mouth.

Why Is It Important To Replace Missing Teeth?

Teeth dentures are a common treatment to replace missing teeth, especially when full sets of teeth are missing or are becoming weak due to ageing, damage or decay. Having missing teeth, even just one, can have effects on the rest of your natural teeth and can cause shifting or stress on those surrounding them. Gaps or exposed gum can contribute to gum disease and potential bone density loss or tooth weakness.

Most adults will experience tooth loss during their lifetime and we understand the implications that tooth loss can have on your confidence and day to day functionality. This is why our dentists are so passionate about giving you the right treatment for dentures in Sheffield.

Treatments For Dentures in Sheffield

We offer two types of treatments for dentures in Sheffield, full and partial dentures.

Full Dentures

Full dentures, often referred to as “false teeth”, are removable dental bridges that are typically made using acrylic/plastic, nylon and metal. Our full dentures are tailor-made by our dentists to fit comfortably over the gums to replace missing teeth. In most cases, full dentures are used to replace rows of teeth, making it a preferred option for patients suffering from extreme tooth loss. Our dentures are typically fitted into place using a specialist fixing paste, which allows patients to use dentures just as they would natural teeth. Many patients opt for full dentures in Sheffield if they have numerous or extreme tooth loss, as it can work out to be more cost-effective and is minimally invasive.

Partial Dentures

We also offer partial dentures in Sheffield. Partial dentures are similar to full dentures, but they are typically recommended to patients who still have some natural teeth left in order to support the dentures. Partial dentures use a metal frame which is attached to the remaining natural teeth, with implants fitted to fill in missing gaps. This helps the denture to stay in place, allowing for a more comfortable fit and providing support for the rest of the remaining teeth.

Choosing The Right Treatment

Deciding which treatment for dentures is right for you might seem overwhelming but our team of dentists are on hand to provide you with the help and advice you need to make the right decision. If you are interested in treatment for dentures in Sheffield, then we will invite you in for a denture consultation with our dentists to ensure that you are left feeling confident and satisfied with your treatment decision.

Depending on how they are cared for, dentures can last for up to 15 years, when you will start to see signs of wear and may consider getting them replaced. Like natural teeth, dentures can stain, so you will eventually need to refresh your smile with another set. Also, the shape of your teeth, mouth and gums can change over time, so you may find that your dentures start to feel uncomfortable or not fitting as well as they used to. As soon as you have a feeling that you may need new dentures in Wakefield, let your dentist know, although it is likely it will be flagged during one of your regular dental check ups.
At the end of the day, take out your dentures and brush them with toothpaste and a soft bristled toothbrush, to remove any buildup. Rinse well and then place into your denture box with a denture tablet, to keep them clean, reduce odours and help them to retain their shape. You then need to brush your teeth and gums to remove any bacteria or food left in the mouth. In the morning, you can then rinse your dentures and adhere them to the top of your mouth to complete your full smile for the day!
When you have dentures that fit your mouth well and are adhered properly, you should be able to eat almost anything with them in. It’s advised that you avoid any foods that are very hard, chewy or sticky, as this could cause the adhesive to become loose, however aside from this, you can eat normally after having your dentures in Wakefield. As dentures can stain, avoiding darker foods and drinks like red wine can help to keep your dentures looking newer for longer.
Yes, there are alternative treatment options if you have missing teeth and are looking to achieve a natural looking, fully functioning smile. Dentures are one of the more affordable tooth replacement treatments, however, we also offer overdentures. These are similar to dentures in that you have a set of false teeth that can be removed from the mouth, however rather than needing to adhere them to the top of your mouth every day, as they snap onto dental implants. This is a good alternative to dentures if you’re looking for less day-to-day maintenance.

An even more permanent solution is to have full dental implants, where dental implants are inserted into the jaw and then permanent crowns are attached, giving you a completely natural looking smile that functions as your teeth would normally. During your consultation, your dentist will talk you through all of the different options, including having dentures in Wakefield, so you can make the right decision based on your lifestyle and budget.
