New and replacement dentures in Cheadle.
Private denture care planned around fit, function, speech and the appearance you would like. Your consultation is the starting point for understanding what is suitable and which stages may be needed.
When to discuss a new denture
Your first denture
You have been advised that teeth may need replacing and want to understand denture options. Treatment involving natural teeth must be planned with a dentist.
A replacement denture
Your current denture is worn, repeatedly repaired, difficult to use or no longer supports your bite and appearance as it once did.
A changed fit or appearance
Your mouth, smile or priorities have changed. We can first check whether an adjustment or reline may be appropriate instead.
How a new denture is usually planned
The exact sequence varies. We confirm the appointments and records needed after assessing your circumstances.
1. Consultation
We discuss your current denture, any concerns and what matters to you about comfort, function and appearance. Bring existing dentures, even if you no longer wear them.
2. Records and planning
Where suitable, records are taken to plan fit and bite. A try-in stage may be used to review tooth position, speech and appearance before the denture is finished.
3. Fitting and aftercare
At fitting, we explain insertion, removal, eating, speaking and cleaning. Follow-up adjustments may be needed as you learn to use the denture.
What new dentures can—and cannot—do
Designed for your mouth
Tooth position, shade, bite and the supporting shape are planned for the individual rather than selected as a one-size-fits-all product.
They take practice
New dentures can feel unfamiliar. Eating and speech may take time to adapt, and even a carefully planned denture may need adjustments after fitting.
Your mouth still needs reviews
Dentures and supporting tissues change over time. Regular dental checks remain important, including when you have no natural teeth.
Looking after new dentures
- Clean dentures every day using the method recommended for their material.
- Handle them over a folded towel or basin of water so they are less likely to break if dropped.
- Unless your dental professional advises otherwise, remove dentures at night to let the mouth rest.
- Arrange help if they create persistent soreness, become loose, crack or change how your teeth meet.
The NHS also provides general guidance on wearing and caring for dentures.
When a dentist needs to be involved
A dentist should assess unexplained pain, swelling, bleeding, persistent ulcers or lumps, problems with natural teeth, and any proposed extraction or implant treatment. We will explain when coordination with a dentist or other clinician is needed.
