Natural Dentures

Dentures, commonly referred to as ‘false teeth’ are used to replace individual or multiple missing teeth, after natural loss or extraction. They are designed to restore a smile to its former full look.

More about Natural Dentures

A commonly used form of false teeth, Dentures are removable and designed to replace individual or groups of missing teeth, known as partial Dentures, or full arches of teeth, known as complete Dentures.

Where a Denture is used, the natural tooth no longer exists. This may have fallen out naturally or have been extracted in preparation for the Denture to be fitted. For partial Dentures, the false teeth coexist alongside remaining natural teeth but in the case of full Dentures, the entire arch is made up of the false teeth.

The ‘tooth’ part of a Denture is usually made of acrylic or porcelain and is mounted to a plate made of metal alloy, acrylic or nylon.

The Process of Getting Dentures

If your wish for a brighter smile can be made true with the use of Dentures, it is important to understand the process of having these fitted. After extraction, the mouth and gums continue to shrink and change shape for up to 6 months and therefore an initial temporary set of Dentures is provided for this time frame.

These temporary teeth are often a lot bulkier than the final Denture will be and the fit is less secure, due to the ever-changing size and shape of the mouth during this time.

The Benefits of Natural Dentures

When it comes to choosing the false tooth option that you wish to proceed with, it’s important to understand the benefits. For Dentures, some of the benefits include:

  • Less invasive treatment than fixed options such as Dental Implants
  • Suitable for all patients due to no bone tissue bonding
  • More affordable and time-effective option than fixed false teeth
  • Improve ability to eat and instantly improve confidence

Dentures aren’t the right option for everyone, but they are a versatile and widely suitable option for false teeth, due to the fact they are a less invasive procedure than fixed options such as dental implants.

Are Dentures Right for You?

If you’re wondering whether Dentures are the right false teeth option for you, there are a few things to consider.

Firstly, Dentures are a removable form of false teeth. This brings with it pros and cons. The removable aspect of Dentures allows for a quicker and more cost-effective ‘fix’ in terms of improving your smile, whilst also allowing you to maintain good oral hygiene by removing them for easy cleaning.

On the other hand, some patients will find the removability of Dentures uncomfortable and may find they don’t fit as securely as other options and feel ‘foreign’ in the mouth, making them feel insecure when eating and talking.

Dentures can be a temporary option, later followed by fixed false teeth such as Dental Implants. However, they are also a perfectly suitable permanent option and can last many years when looked after.

After suffering with a very painful tooth I needed an extraction which was completed by Tom who put me at ease and explained everything all the way through, with advice for after care. Would definitely recommend Wish.

Anne Bostock

I required a filling, and a tooth extraction this morning. Sion is an outstanding dentist. Very informative throughout the appointment. Chatty as well, which puts me at ease. He went through some aftercare as well. No pain suffered. Thank you Sion.

Russell Bingham

I have always been very pleased with every aspect of customer care service and experience at Wish Dental. It is the only dental surgery I have ever been to of which I can honestly say I have never experienced any pain or discomfort. I would not hesitate to recommend Wish Dental and in fact I have done so to several of my friends.

Paul Curran

I have only wonderful things to say about Wish. My teeth have never been less troublesome, I am no longer petrified, they are always friendly and accommodating and the practice itself is spotless, modern and calming. I have always hated the dentist and Wish has completely changed my mind.

Anna Davies

Great service. Always quick to answer the phones, appointment times to fit you. Appointments run on time. Staff are always professional, friendly and helpful. Staff are knowledgeable and answer any questions. Would certainly recommend.

Julie Ford

Amazing and friendly staff who really do go over and above. Whether a routine checkup or a procedure they always put the patient first, informing, educating and making you feel at ease. Reasonably priced too for a private dentist. I would highly recommend Wish to anyone and everyone!

David Evans

We’re lucky to have Wish as our dental specialist. The 6 monthly check ups with Sion ensure any possible issues are highlighted and dealt with before they’re a bigger problem. Sion is thorough, friendly and re-assuring. I enjoy the hygenist visits with Hayley, who details my teeth with great care and precision. Thanks, Mark

Mark White

Being a nervous patient I can’t recommend ‘Wish’ enough. All the staff are fantastic, so friendly and caring. Lucinda and Emilie are incredible. I have never felt so at ease with a dentist and their nurse. They genuinely care and take their time. I honestly can’t thank them enough for looking after me each time. Thank you, you have no idea the difference you make, with your big smiles and caring manner.

Alison Hall

Tom has been my dentist for some years. I have had a number of different implants prior to being a patient at Wish Dental. Due to the differing implants it has made creating implant bridges a challenge. On every occasion, Tom has come up with innovative solutions working with the dental lab to create implant bridges that look and function superbly. Thank you Tom and the team.

Karen Williams

My family have been with Wish Dental since it opened in Poynton. The staff are friendly and efficient and the hygienist is very thorough. Our dentist, Sion, is excellent and we have confidence in his care of our teeth. On the rare occasion we have needed treatment we have no problem in getting an early appointment. Overall, I have no hesitation in recommending this practice.

Diana Lines

I could not recommend Tom and his team more highly. My daughter has had ongoing issues with a tooth needing a Root Canal. Everyone went above and beyond - than you soo much we couldn't have got through it without you.

Zoe & Alice

Excellent first appointment with Wish. The staff were very polite professional and friendly. Good quality service and reasonably priced. Lucy didn’t try to sell me more services than needed and provided me with more focussed relevant information than I’ve ever had previously.

Joanna Larkin

I’m always happy to visit Hayley and her assistant for a thorough clean with such expertise in a warm and friendly environment. Over the weekend I lost a filling and dropped Wish Dental an email for an appointment. I was very grateful to be contacted first thing Monday and by the same afternoon, Hayley had sorted my tooth swiftly and perfectly; most impressed, thank you.

Elizabeth White

My first visit today and what a wonderful, friendly and helpful team at Wish Dental. I received excellent treatment and help. I have come away with a treatment plan that was explained to me and that I am delighted with. I have every confidence that I am going to receive excellent treatment and highly recommend Wish Dental.

Lesley Dawes

After not visiting the dentist for almost 2 years, I was very nervous about having 2 fillings! But all the team were very caring and Tom made sure I was comfortable and reassured me all the way through my treatments, explaining each stage! I felt so happy when I left knowing that it's done and it really wasn't that bad. I won't be leaving it 2 years again, thanks to the Wish Team!

Olivia Livissa

I can’t thank this dentist practice enough for what they are doing for me. I was involved in a car accident that knocked my front tooth out and damaged my others. Tom is restoring my teeth and giving me my confidence back. I couldn’t recommend the practice and all the staff enough.

Lauren Ellis

Wish was able to accommodate me within 24 hours of my crown cracking. Sean resolved my issue with a temporary procedure and the team was able to organise follow-on appointments for a permanent crown replacement before my upcoming holidays. Well done the Wish Team.

Danny Lee

The Wish Dental team are fabulous. I have had implants and extensive dental treatment due to an accident I had as a child. I am thrilled with the results and thanks to Tom have a confident smile. The whole team are always welcoming and make the experience a comfortable one. I would not hesitate to recommend Wish dental especially if you are considering implants.

Allyson Pilkington

Perfect service from Wish Dental. Tom and his team were amazing. Could not be more pleased with the results of extensive dental work including implants and veneers. Wish Dental are without doubt the best dentist I have ever been to, their work is second to none. There was no pain or discomfort in the entire process. I would not hesitate to recommend Wish Dental to anyone.
