Upper and Lower Dentures

Full upper and lower dentures, also known as complete dentures, are removable prosthetic devices designed to replace all missing teeth in the upper and lower jaws. At SE Dental, we offer full denture solutions tailored to meet the unique needs and preferences of our patients. Our experienced dentists ensure a precise fit, natural appearance, and improved oral function, allowing you to regain your smile and confidence. Full upper and lower dentures are custom-made oral appliances that replace all of the missing teeth in the upper and lower jaws. They consist of artificial teeth set in a flesh-coloured acrylic base that rests on the gums. The upper denture covers the roof of the mouth (palate), while the lower denture is shaped like a horseshoe to accommodate the tongue.

What Does Full Upper and Lower Denture Treatment Include?

• Initial Consultation and Assessment: During your first visit, your dentist will assess your oral health, discuss your tooth replacement options, and evaluate your suitability for full dentures. We will take into consideration factors such as jawbone condition, gum health, and aesthetic goals.
• Impression and Bite Registration: Precise impressions of your mouth will be taken to create a customised set of full dentures. Bite registration records will also be made to ensure proper alignment and occlusion between the upper and lower dentures.
• Wax Try-In and Final Denture Fabrication: You will have a wax try-in appointment where you can preview the shape, fit, and appearance of your dentures before they are finalised. Any necessary adjustments will be made to ensure optimal comfort and aesthetics. Once approved, the final dentures will be fabricated.
• Insertion and Ongoing Adjustments: Your dentist will fit and adjust the full dentures to ensure a proper and comfortable fit. They will provide instructions on how to care for and maintain your dentures, as well as schedule follow-up appointments to address any adjustments or concerns that may arise.

Why are Full Upper and Lower Dentures Important for Patients?

• Restoring Oral Function: Full upper and lower dentures restore the ability to bite, chew, and speak properly. They provide support to the facial muscles, helping to maintain proper facial structure and preventing the sunken appearance often associated with missing teeth.
• Enhancing Aesthetics and Confidence: Full dentures are designed to closely resemble natural teeth, improving the appearance of your smile and facial features. They can be customised to match your desired tooth shape, size, and color, enhancing your overall confidence and self-esteem.
• Improving Quality of Life: Full dentures significantly enhance the quality of life for individuals who have lost all of their natural teeth. They allow you to enjoy a varied diet, speak clearly, and socialise without self-consciousness, leading to improved overall well-being.
