Book Your ConsultationWhat Are Dentures?
Dentures are removable appliances which replace one or more missing teeth, and the gum tissue around them.
Modern dentures are often far more natural-looking and comfortable than most people expect. With careful planning and high-quality materials, we can provide accurate fitting dentures which help restore your natural smile.
Dentures might be a good option if you:
- Have one or more missing teeth
- Have loose or uncomfortable existing dentures
- Are finding it hard to eat comfortably
- Feel worried about gaps in your smile because of missing teeth
- Want a removable tooth or teeth replacement option
- If you are not suitable for dental bridges or dental implants
- Looking for a cost-effective way to replace missing teeth
Digitally Designed Dentures with Advanced 3D Scanning
At Art of Dental Care in Chester, we use advanced 3D scanning technology, to help create dentures that sit just right.
The usual denture process can mean taking physical impressions first, which some patients find a bit uncomfortable.
With modern digital scanners, we can capture very detailed information about your mouth, gums, bite and remaining teeth in a way that feels gentler, and tends to be more precise.
From that digital data, we then design dentures with better accuracy, comfort, fit, and overall appearance.
Our digitally designed dentures are planned while considering:
- Patient comfort
- Fit and stability of the denture
- Accuracy of bite
- Smile design, for a natural appearance
- Function while eating and speaking
Using advanced digital technology lets us map the dentures around your individual mouth form, which really helps improve the final fit, plus the overall patient experience.
It’s a more modern, and slightly more exact approach to denture treatment, which can also lower the number of repeated traditional impressions needed in some situations, though not always.
Types of Dentures Available in Chester
1. Full Dentures
Full dentures are used when all teeth are missing in the upper, the lower jaw, or both.
They replace a full arch of teeth and help restore your smile, support your face, and improve chewing.
They may be a good option if you’ve already lost your natural teeth, or if remaining teeth have a poor prognosis, meaning extractions are likely and then replacement is needed.
2. Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are used when one or more natural teeth are still present.
They fill the spaces caused by missing teeth and can help reduce the chance of nearby teeth drifting into those gaps.
3. Implant-Retained Dentures
These implant-retained dentures are kept in place by dental implants. They give way more stability than the usual removable kind, especially if a patient has that issue with loose lower dentures.
Implant-retained dentures may help to:
- Reduce denture movement and improve stability
- Improve confidence when eating
- Improve speech
- Reduce rubbing, and loosenes of dentures
- Provide a more secure feel
- improve chewing ability
This option can be very helpful for patients who are finding traditional dentures uncomfortable or a bit unstable day to day.
4. Immediate Denture
An immediate denture is fitted as soon as your teeth are extracted so you won’t be left without a smile.
You may need some adjustment or a reline while you heal.
5. Over-Denture
An over-denture is worn over your natural teeth or over dental implants, it’s basically extra support, and more chewing power too.
Denture Materials Explained:
The material used for your denture can affect comfort, appearance stability, strength, thickness, and cost.
During your consultation at Art of Dental Care in Chester, we assess your mouth thoroughly and explain which denture material is most suitable for your needs.
1. Acrylic Dentures
Acrylic dentures are one of the common types. They are made with a pink gum coloured acrylic base, then artificial teeth are attached.
Acrylic dentures are:
- Cost-effective
- Suitable for full or partial dentures
- Used for immediate dentures after tooth removal
- Relatively easy to adjust or repair
- Often suitable when small changes might be needed later
- Natural looking when carefully designed
On the other hand, acrylic dentures can sometimes feel slightly bulkier than other types of material.
2. Chrome Cobalt Dentures
Chrome cobalt dentures, are made with a thin metal framework from a strong cobalt-chromium alloy. Most of the time they are used for partial dentures, when some natural teeth are still staying in place.
How are Chrome cobalt dentures better?
- They are strong and more durable
- Thinner than many acrylic dentures
- More stable, and less bulky in the mouth
In other words, a good long-term choice for partial dentures, for patients who want something firmer, slimmer and more comfortable to wear, removable too.
3. Flexible Dentures
Flexible dentures are created from a softer, more bendy material, that sort of follows and adapts around the gums and teeth.
They often include gum-coloured clasps, so they can look more subtle and natural than traditional metal clasps.
Flexible dentures are:
- Lightweight
- Comfortable for many patients
- More discreet in appearance
- Metal free in many cases
- Gentle around the gums
- But they are only suitable for select denture cases
Flexible dentures are not ideal for every situation, especially when you need very strong support or top-level stability.
Which Denture Material is the Best?
There isn’t one single best denture material for everyone.
The right option really depends on your mouth, your remaining teeth, your bite, the look you are aiming for and how much steadiness the denture can realistically provide.
At Art of Dental Care, we will explain the advantages and limits of each option clearly, so you can choose with more confidence.
We will also consider:
- How many teeth are missing
- Whether you need a full or partial denture
- The health of your gums
- The condition of your remaining teeth and bone
- Your bite, and chewing forces
- Comfort and appearance
- Denture stability and long-term durability
- Cost effectiveness

Replacing Broken, Loose or Old Dentures
Dentures do not last forever.
Over time, your gums and jawbone can change shape or recede, which may cause dentures to become loose, or just feel awkward.
Sometimes they just start rubbing, and you notice it more than before.
You may need your dentures reviewed if:
- Your dentures feel loose
- They shift while eating or speaking
- You often have sore areas or ulcers
- Food keeps getting trapped underneath
- Your bite feels uneven
- Your face looks more sunken
- Your dentures look worn out or unnatural
- You need to avoid certain foods due to an ill-fitting denture
- You feel embarrassed when smiling or talking
In some cases, dentures can be adjusted or relined. In other cases, a completely new denture may be the best choice.

See what our patients say about our dentures
“My elderly mother visited Divya after not being been to the dentist for a very long time. Being a little nervous, Divya and her team took excellent care of her, addressing all of my mother's concerns and plan for new dentures and as well fillings for some chipped teeth. They were so gentle and patient, and the dentures look fantastic and so natural. I would definitely recommend Divya and her team for elderly and nervous patients who need a little reassurance”

Denture FAQs
What exactly are dentures?
Dentures are appliances designed to be removed easily. They are fitted to replace one or more teeth, along with any soft tissue surrounding the roots of your lost teeth. Modern dentures have been developed to look like natural teeth, provide an excellent fit, and help restore your smile, along with a normal bite, and a sense of well-being.
Are modern dentures likely to be comfortable?
Yes. Innovative materials and modern manufacturing techniques have ensured that today’s dentures are designed to be incredibly comfortable, with superb fit and appearance. Of course, there can be a short period of adjustment for most patients, and you may find the adaptation to dentures smooth sailing.
How long will it take me to get used to wearing them?
Generally, it can take several weeks to become accustomed to wearing dentures. Initial increases in salivary flow, mild difficulty with your speech, and slight soreness in your mouth can be normal, but all these effects tend to decrease as your jaw adapts.
Will I still be able to eat my previous diet?
Most patients do enjoy their accustomed diet when wearing dentures. We encourage you to start with soft foods and gradually reintroduce foods that are harder and require more chewing.
Can wearing dentures help improve my looks?
Certainly! Dentures can offer vital support to your lips and cheeks, along with giving you the smile you previously enjoyed. Carefully tailored dentures can create a better facial profile and make you feel so much more confident whether you are smiling, talking or laughing.
How long can I expect my dentures to last?
Your new dentures typically can be worn for five to 10 years before any additional adjustments or replacement may be needed, based upon use, oral health changes, and individual preferences over time.
Can loose dentures be adjusted or refitted ?
Often. If your dentures are feeling too loose, a simple adjustment or reline procedure will likely take care of this. If you are using outdated dentures or if they have begun to show wear, or are just plain loose, you may be a better candidate for complete replacement dentures, or perhaps some implant supported dentures.
Is it better to use digital dentures?
The 3-D Digital Design technology has enabled the creation of highly accurate and customized dentures based on digital scan impressions of a patient's mouth, enhancing the fit and overall aesthetic appeal compared to traditional impressions.
What is a full denture versus a partial denture?
While partial dentures can replace just a handful of lost teeth, full dentures will replace an entire arch of teeth. In the case of full mouth restorations, patients might choose to have a pair of full dentures, one on top and another on bottom.
What about sleeping wearing my new denture?
Generally speaking, denture wearers should always remove them before sleeping at night. Otherwise, the gums, oral tissues, and the denture itself can experience some harmful bacteria.
How should I clean my dentures?
It is imperative to brush them thoroughly every morning, using special dentures cleaner or mild soap. Gently wash over them every morning. Avoid hot water because that can warp and ruin their shape and material; never use toothpaste because it contains harmful abrasion particles.
Do I need to care for my natural gum tissue or existing teeth?
Yes. Whether it is partials that you wear or full, you need to continue caring for any teeth remaining in your mouth as well as clean out the gum tissues. Dental Checkups are still necessary to check you have healthy tissue.
What is an Implant Retained Denture?
Rather than relying on adhesive and a suction technique that’s inherent in conventional removable denture technologies, implant supported dentures offer more natural stability, fit, comfort and functionality by being secured with titanium dental implants in the jaw.
Do I need the dentist even if I wear a denture?
Absolutely. The process does not end with the delivery of the new dentures. You must visit the dentist regularly. To keep the mouth in tip top condition and check that the gum tissue remains free from injury, soreness, and the many infections and cancers that a mouth is susceptible to. Also, to keep a check on whether the appliance is a good fit and the comfort you receive from it is great.
