Missing teeth can affect more than just your bite.
Missing teeth can affect more than just your bite — they can impact how you speak, how you eat, and how you feel about yourself. At Spixworth Dental Practice, we offer a full range of modern, custom-made dentures to help you regain function, aesthetics, and confidence — all delivered with gentle, professional care.
Whether you’ve lost some teeth or need full arch support, our team will guide you through the best denture options tailored to your needs.
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore the natural appearance of your smile. They’re custom-fitted to your mouth for comfort and stability and are available in a variety of materials and styles to suit your preferences and clinical needs.
We provide both NHS and private denture solutions, using the latest techniques and materials for a natural fit and feel.

We'll always provide clear, personalised advice to help you choose the best solution for your health, lifestyle, and budget.
Types of Dentures We Offer
At Spixworth Dental Practice, we offer several types of dentures — each designed to meet different functional and cosmetic goals.
Full Dentures
Full dentures are used when all the natural teeth in the upper or lower jaw are missing. These are typically made of acrylic resin, shaped to sit comfortably over your gums.
- Ideal for complete tooth loss
- Held in place by natural suction or denture adhesive
- Easy to remove and clean
- Designed to restore speech, function, and smile aesthetics
Whether you're replacing an entire arch of teeth or preparing for extractions, full dentures offer a cost-effective and functional solution.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. They are designed to fill in gaps and prevent adjacent teeth from shifting.
- Made from acrylic, metal, or a combination
- Secured using clasps or precision attachments
- Helps maintain alignment of natural teeth
- Customised for long-term comfort and support
Partial dentures can be a brilliant transitional solution or a long-term option for patients not yet ready for implants or bridges.
Flexible Dentures (Private Option)
Flexible dentures are made from a soft, thermoplastic material that adapts naturally to the shape of your mouth.
- Lightweight and comfortable
- No metal parts — discreet and more aesthetic
- Ideal for patients with sensitive gums or irregular ridges
- Less prone to soreness or pressure spots
These are a popular private option for patients looking for added comfort and flexibility in their daily wear.
Chrome Dentures (Private Option)
Chrome dentures feature a slim yet incredibly strong cobalt-chromium framework. They're a premium partial denture solution for those wanting durability and minimal bulk.
- Thinner and more lightweight than acrylic
- Highly stable — securely anchored to existing teeth
- Easier to adapt to and wear long term
- Long-lasting and low maintenance
Ideal for private patients seeking strength, comfort, and longevity with a minimal, elegant design.
What to Expect From the Process
Initial consultation — discuss your goals, oral health, and suitable denture types.
Impressions and measurements — taken to ensure an accurate, comfortable fit.
Trial fitting — try-in with wax models for bite, comfort, and appearance.
Final fitting — custom dentures are fitted, adjusted, and reviewed.
Aftercare — we guide you through cleaning, storage, and adjustments if needed.
Caring for Your Dentures
To keep your dentures clean, comfortable, and long-lasting:
- Clean them daily using a denture brush and mild cleanser
- Soak overnight in a denture solution
- Avoid hot water to prevent warping
- Attend regular dental reviews to check fit and function
Dentures typically last 5–10 years depending on wear, oral changes, and care.
