Cosmetic Dentures at Seaham Smiles Dental Surgery

Cosmetic Dentures Seaham

Your Smile but Better

Bespoke-made by a highly skilled technician, our cosmetic dentures are designed to fit your mouth precisely, so they move less, reducing the need for denture adhesive. They may also allow you to eat a greater range of foods than you thought possible with dentures.

When creating cosmetic dentures, we always select a tooth shape and size that suits your personality, with a natural look that means people won’t know you’re wearing dentures at all.

Durable and long-lasting, our dentures are made from lifelike acrylic and can feature a metal frame that is supported by your own teeth for a secure fit and improved comfort.

What Are the Benefits of Cosmetic Dentures?

  • Restored function Enjoy eating, speaking, and smiling with ease thanks to dentures designed for comfort and stability.
  • Comfort and fit Made with high-quality materials for durability and a secure, comfortable fit.
  • Enhanced quality of life Cosmetic dentures improve both function and aesthetics, helping you feel your best.

What can I expect during my cosmetic dentures treatment?

Consultation & Personalised Assessment

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where we:

  • Assess the condition of your remaining teeth, gums, and bite
  • Discuss your aesthetic goals and preferences for your new smile
  • Take conventional impressions and X-rays to create a detailed and accurate treatment plan

(Please note: for denture work, we typically use traditional impressions rather than intra-oral scanners, as they offer greater accuracy for this type of treatment.)

Custom Design & Fitting

With all the necessary information gathered, we move on to the design stage:

  • Your dentures are custom-crafted to match the natural shape, size, and shade of your teeth, and to complement your facial features
  • We use high-quality materials that mimic the look and feel of natural teeth
  • Adjustments are made throughout the process to ensure a precise, comfortable fit

Final Fitting & Aftercare

Once your dentures are ready, we’ll invite you back for a fitting appointment to:

  • Ensure they fit securely and feel comfortable
  • Make any necessary refinements for appearance and bite
  • Provide guidance on care, cleaning, and storage so you can maintain your new smile with confidence

Am I a candidate for cosmetic dentures?

You may be a candidate for cosmetic dentures if you:

  • Are missing some or all of your natural teeth
  • Want a solution that restores both function and aesthetics
  • Are looking for a non-invasive option to replace missing teeth
  • Have healthy gums and jawbone to support the dentures

During your consultation, we’ll assess your dental health and recommend the best course of action based on your individual needs.

What are the risks of cosmetic dentures?

While cosmetic dentures are a safe and effective solution, there are a few potential risks to be aware of:

  • Initial discomfort You may experience mild discomfort or soreness during the first few days as your gums adjust to the dentures.
  • Adjustment period It may take time to get used to speaking and eating with your new dentures, but this typically improves with practice.
  • Denture maintenance Over time, dentures may need to be relined or replaced as your mouth changes, requiring regular check-ups to ensure optimal fit.

At Seaham Smiles, we ensure that your cosmetic dentures provide the highest level of comfort, function, and aesthetics, with ongoing support to make adjustments as needed.

Do cosmetic dentures feel uncomfortable?

While there may be an initial adjustment period, our high-quality dentures are designed for comfort and fit. Any discomfort typically subsides as you get used to wearing them.

Will my dentures look natural?

Yes! Our cosmetic dentures are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, creating a realistic and aesthetically pleasing smile.

Can I eat with my dentures?

Yes, once your dentures are fitted and adjusted, you’ll be able to enjoy most foods comfortably. However, we recommend avoiding very hard or sticky foods at first.

Are cosmetic dentures removable?

Yes, cosmetic dentures are removable for easy cleaning and maintenance. We’ll show you how to care for them to ensure their longevity.

How long do cosmetic dentures last?

With proper care, cosmetic dentures can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years. Regular dental check-ups will help ensure they continue to fit properly and function effectively.
