Dentures

Dentures in Camden, London

Dentures are removable false teeth that fit over the gums to replace the missing teeth and avoid any problem due to gaps in teeth. They are made to closely resemble your natural teeth and may even enhance your smile.

Dentures are very durable appliances and will last many years, but may have to be remade, repaired, or readjusted due to normal wear and changes in the soft tissues and gums that they are supported by. They help you to perform all functions efficiently. You can chew, smile, speak and smile confidently again.

Different types of dentures

Complete Dentures ( Full set) : These are used are used when all of the teeth in upper and lower arch are missing and need to be replaced. These fit snugly over your gums and jawbone. The denture will require all teeth to be removed. A Complete denture may be either “conventional” or “immediate.” A conventional type is made after the teeth have been removed and the gum tissue has healed, usually taking 4 to 6 weeks. During this time the patient will go without teeth or use an older denture they already have. Immediate dentures are made in advance and immediately placed after the teeth are removed, thus preventing the patient from having to be without teeth during the healing process. Once the tissues shrink and heal, adjustments will have to be made.

Partial Dentures : These are used when some of natural teeth remain and you need dentures which just replace one or few missing teeth. A Partial denture not only fills in the spaces created by missing teeth, it prevents other teeth from shifting. These normally clip onto some of the natural teeth which securely hold it in place. These are removable and can easily be unclipped. These removable dentures usually consists of replacement teeth attached to a pink or gum-coloured acrylic base, which is connected by metal or plastic framework that holds the denture in place in the mouth.

Implant retained Dentures : More cost effective way of replacing multiple or all missing teeth. Implant retained dentures could be used where dentures are held securely in place with the help of implants. It not only is more comfortable but also eliminates the movement problem commonly experienced by few patients in traditional dentures, thus providing a secure method of holding your denture in place so you can eat and talk without fear of your denture slipping. The implants help in maintaining your facial structure by preserving the remaining bone in the jaws

Dental implants can be used to replace single, few or all your teeth and are most effective solution for teeth restoration. However, they do cost more than dentures.

FAQs

Dentures last for a long time if proper care is taken. However, your gums and jawbone will shrink eventually as a result of ageing which means that the dentures may not fit well and with time they will become loose. Whenever this happens you will need to get it relined or adjusted else it can cause sores and infections.

The patient will require initial consultation with the dentist to examine his or her case to check if they are suitable for a denture.

If the patients requires teeth removed then extraction would be carried out before the denture fitting. After this or if there are no teeth to be extracted then the dentist will examine the condition of your gums to check if they are healthy.

An impression of the teeth is prepared using moulds which the patients bite into. This gives the guidance for making the dentures. They are sent to the laborotory and start the procedure for making dentures. If you opted for immediate denture then these will be fitted right away as it would have been fabricated in the first visit before teeth are removed.

You might have to visit the clinic few times during the healing process so that the dentist can examine your case and ensure you are happy with the denture.

We recommend patients who have dentures to visit dentist regularly as dentures normally wear and become loose with time. You should visit the clinic asap if dentures

Don’t fit properly and tend to slip
Look visibly worn
Feel uncomfortable or click while talking
You have symptoms of gum disease or tooth decay

If dentures are not cleaned for plaque and food deposit it can lead to issues like gum disease, tooth decay and other dental problems. They should be cleaned as often as the normal teeth. Dentures should be;

Brushed with toothpaste or soap and water and then soaked overnight to remove food particles
Soaked in fizzy solution of denture cleaning tablets to get rid of stains and bacteria
Brushed again just like the normal teeth

Testimonials

Had an absolutely amazing experience at NW1 Dental care, I hadn’t had a professional clean in years and had let my teeth get into quite a state. I had been very anxious about seeing a dentist after having bad experiences in the past but I bit the bullet after seeing an ad for NW1 on instagram then reading some positive reviews. My dentist Ioanna was lovely and chatty and talked me through everything, gave me an immaculate clean and offered some advice on products and methods for keeping better care of my teeth all without condescension. It was more like being at a spa than being at the dentist, I had never had such a positive experience with a dentist before. 100% would recommend.

I was very pleased with the work done on my teeth that actually left me with a Hollywood Smile! Thank you Anima, Lydia and all those working at NW1 Dental Care

After moving to London, I was on the hunt for a new dental practice. I read some reviews of various places and settled on NW1 Dental Care and I am so glad I did! It’s one of the best dental experiences that I have had. From start to finish, from receptionist to dentist, the whole thing was and is painless and easy. The staff are friendly and informed and the premises are conveniently located near transport links and very welcoming.

I’ve had a few appointments in the past from check ups to hygiene and have never been disappointed. Most recently I had the Zoom Whitening treatment. I’ve never had any whitening treatment before so wasn’t sure what to expect, but the staff talked me through it and made me feel very comfortable. It was easy and actually quite relaxing!

Even after moving half way across London, I still consider NW1 Dental as my practice!

Big thank you to all the staff, especially Dr Anima Bodane.

I came here after my friend who visits this practice regularly recommended me to come. She had said that the atmosphere was super friendly and the work would be really professional. She was not wrong. My implant journey experience has been flawless. I am so happy with the result and how the team worked together to get me back the smile I thought could never have. Thank you again for giving me back the confidence that I had lost over the years and I hope this helps recommend more people to come in and get the smile they deserve.

All measures have been taken to make attending appointments as safe as possible, which has allowed me to get issues fixed before they get worse. All the staff are friendly and I love my dentist (Dr Hudda). I am also impressed because a few years ago, my mother was visiting and she broke a tooth and within an hour of it breaking, they fit her in and fixed it.
