For a Functional & Natural-Looking Smile
Dentures provide a practical solution for replacing missing teeth, helping to restore the ability to chew, speak and smile comfortably. Designed to fit securely, they are available in full and partial options to suit individual needs. Whether replacing a few teeth or a complete set, well-fitted dentures help support facial structure and maintain oral function.
At Graham Johnson Dental Surgery, dentures are custom-made to provide a secure and comfortable fit. The process includes an assessment, impressions and adjustments to ensure the best possible outcome. With clinics in Newcastle, Beresfield and Jesmond, professional care is available to guide patients through every stage of the process.
We also provide dental check-ups, white fillings, cosmetic dentistry, root canal treatment, wisdom teeth removal, gum disease treatment and TMJ treatment. To learn more or book an appointment, call 0408 665 161.
Types of Dentures & Their Benefits
Dentures come in different types, each designed to suit specific needs and levels of tooth loss. Choosing the right option depends on factors such as remaining teeth, comfort and lifestyle preferences.
- Full dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw, offering a complete solution for those with significant tooth loss.
- Partial dentures fill gaps left by missing teeth, preventing shifting and helping maintain alignment.
- Implant-supported dentures are secured with dental implants, providing added stability compared to traditional options.
- Flexible dentures offer a lightweight alternative with a more natural feel and improved comfort.
Each type of denture is custom-made to fit securely, ensuring a balance of function and aesthetics. Proper care, including cleaning and regular adjustments, helps maintain their condition over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have my mouth checked when using dentures?
We usually advise every 6 months, but provide customised advice according to circumstances. Patients with complete dentures should have a check up at least every 3 years to check the health of their gums as well as the fit of their dentures.
What are the different types of dentures?
There are several types of dentures, each suited to different needs:
- Full dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw and rest directly on the gums.
- Partial dentures fill gaps left by missing teeth and attach to natural teeth using clasps.
- Implant-supported dentures are secured by dental implants, offering greater stability.
- Flexible dentures are lightweight and provide a more natural feel without metal clasps.
- A dentist will assess which option is most suitable based on oral health and lifestyle needs.
Are dentures uncomfortable to wear?
New dentures may feel unusual or slightly uncomfortable at first, but most people adjust within a few weeks as their mouth adapts. It is common to experience minor soreness, irritation or an increase in saliva production during the initial adjustment period. These symptoms typically subside as the muscles, gums and oral tissues become accustomed to the dentures. Eating soft foods, chewing slowly and practising speaking aloud can help improve comfort and confidence while adjusting. Keeping dentures clean and following proper care instructions can also aid the process. If discomfort persists or dentures feel loose, adjustments may be needed for a more secure and comfortable fit.
