Dentures In Inverness

Expert Denture Care In Inverness

Missing teeth can affect how you eat, speak and feel about your smile. At Inverness Dental & Implant Centre, we provide dentures as a removable way to replace missing teeth while supporting the lips and cheeks. Depending on the number of teeth missing and the condition of your remaining teeth, dentures can be used as a full or partial tooth replacement.

Our denture treatment is planned around your individual needs, with attention to fit, comfort, appearance and function. An assessment with our denture dentist in Inverness can determine which type of denture is appropriate for your smile and oral health.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable appliances used to replace missing teeth and surrounding oral tissues. Full dentures replace all the teeth in an upper or lower arch, while partial dentures replace several missing teeth and fit around the remaining natural teeth.

Dentures are made to fit the shape of your mouth and are designed to provide a stable and natural-looking replacement. They can help restore everyday functions such as chewing and speaking while maintaining the appearance of your smile.

How Is Denture Fitting Done?

The dentist will examine your teeth and gums before taking accurate impressions or digital scans of your mouth. Your dentures are then designed to match your mouth, with a trial stage where needed to check the fit, appearance and bite.

During your denture fitting in Inverness, your dentist will check how the dentures sit and make any necessary adjustments for comfort and function. If teeth need to be removed before fitting full dentures, appropriate healing time will be allowed.

Benefits of Dentures

Dentures can help you:

  • Replace several or all missing teeth.
  • Improve your ability to chew and eat comfortably.
  • Support clearer speech.
  • Support the lips and cheeks for a natural facial appearance.
  • Restore the appearance of your smile.
  • Improve confidence when eating and speaking.
  • Choose a removable solution tailored to your individual needs.

Who Can Have Dentures?

Dentures are suitable for people who have lost several or all of their natural teeth. Your dentist will assess your gums, remaining teeth and overall oral health before recommending treatment.

Any existing dental problems may need to be treated before your dentures are fitted.

    • Aftercare For Your Dentures

    Clean your dentures daily using a soft denture brush and suitable denture cleaner. Rinse them after eating and follow your dentist’s advice on soaking and overnight wear.

    Regular dental appointments are also important to check your dentures, gums and remaining natural teeth.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Dentures can be repaired if broken. Do not attempt to repair them yourself. Call your dentist immediately. They will assess the damage and should be able to repair your denture professionally.
    Dentures typically last for 5 to 7 years if you take good care of them. Over time, as the shape of your mouth changes or they wear out, they will likely need to be either adjusted or replaced. Regular dental check-ups ensure the proper fit and function of the dentures.
    First of all, dentures may be a little bit unfamiliar and slightly uncomfortable. Most people learn to wear them without trouble. Proper professional fitting with regular adjustments will make it easier for you to have a more comfortable fit.
    Visit your dentist for a check-up and professional cleaning every year. Regular visits will assist in ensuring the proper working of dentures and enable adjustments to let dentures remain comfortable in the mouth when changes do occur.
    Your dentures will require occasional relining. The shape of your mouth can change very subtly and without you being aware of it. Relining is needed when refitting dentures is no longer practical. Your dentist will advise on the proper time to reline.
    It’s usually recommended to remove dentures at night in order to give the gums a rest and to prevent the development of bacteria. Soaking them in a denture solution overnight will maintain their cleanliness and shape. You can consult your dentist for personal advice.
    Adjusting to dentures takes some time. It is best to eat soft foods and chew very slowly. Follow the guidelines provided by your dentist. However, if ease doesn’t come to your satisfaction, visit your dentist for further checkups and adjustments.
