Advanced Dentures in Finchley for a Confident Smile

Dentures are a solid option if you have several missing teeth and want a non surgical way to restore your smile. You may be a good candidate if you have a row of missing teeth or a full arch missing. They can also suit patients who cannot have implants due to jawbone density or other health factors. Many of our Finchley patients replace old bridgework or close long standing gaps that make chewing hard. A well made denture not only improves your diet but also supports facial muscles, helping prevent the sunken look after tooth loss.

Creating your custom dentures is a precise process that usually takes several appointments over four to six weeks. It starts with a 60 minute initial consultation to assess your oral health and goals. We then take highly accurate digital impressions of your gums and any remaining teeth. The next stage is a try in appointment, about 30 minutes, where a wax model sits in your mouth. This lets us check the fit, bite, and appearance and make adjustments so the final result looks natural. For example, a North Finchley patient with several missing upper teeth chose a flexible partial denture. The try in was essential to match the new teeth to his existing ones. Once you are happy with the model, our lab makes the final denture. At your final 30 minute fitting, we will make any minor adjustments for a perfect comfortable fit.

Adjusting to new dentures takes time. In the first days you may notice more saliva and a feeling of fullness. Start with soft foods cut into small pieces. As you adjust, you can slowly return to your normal diet, but avoid very hard or sticky foods. You may have slight sore spots as your gums adapt; this is common. A East Finchley patient found rinsing with warm salt water helped in the first week. Remove your dentures at night to rest your gums and clean them daily with a soft brush and a special cleaner. If you have persistent sore spots, looseness, or sharp pain, call us during office hours. For after hours emergencies visit A&E or call 111.

While dentures are a strong solution, you should know your options. Dental implants are a permanent fixed option that places titanium posts in the jawbone. They offer the best stability but are more invasive and cost more upfront. A fixed bridge is another option where a false tooth is supported by crowns on the adjacent teeth. This is faster than implants but requires altering healthy teeth, which we usually try to avoid. Removable partial dentures are often the most affordable option for replacing multiple teeth without surgery. At your Finchley consultation we will explain the pros and cons of each choice based on your dental health, lifestyle, and budget.

To decide what suits you best, ask questions whether you come to us or another practice in North London. Here are a few to start: What materials do you recommend for dentures such as acrylic, flexible, or chromium cobalt and why? What is the total cost and does it cover all adjustments? How long can you expect your dentures to last with proper care? What aftercare do you offer if sore spots occur? Do you accept private plans like Denplan or Cigna?

As a private practice, we focus on high quality materials and dedicated lab time to create dentures that fit well. The cost reflects the level of customization. Prices for partial dentures start around £700, while complete dentures start around £1,200. The final fee depends on case complexity and materials.
