Dentures

Book Appointment

Dentures are a removable solution used to replace missing teeth and restore everyday function. At Dental Atelier, we provide custom-made dentures designed to help improve comfort, appearance, and the ability to eat and speak more easily.

For patients considering dentures in Wapping, this treatment can be used to replace a few missing teeth (partial dentures) or a full set of teeth (full dentures). Missing teeth can affect your bite and facial support, and dentures offer a practical way to restore these functions.

Types of dentures available

Dentures are designed to suit different clinical needs and preferences.

Full dentures are used when all teeth in the upper or lower jaw need to be replaced
Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain, helping to fill gaps
Implant-supported dentures may also be considered for additional stability, depending on suitability

Each denture is custom-made to fit your mouth and match the appearance of natural teeth as closely as possible.

Adapting to dentures

It can take a short period to get used to wearing dentures, particularly when eating or speaking. Most patients adapt over time as they become familiar with the fit and feel.

Regular dental visits are important to ensure your dentures continue to fit well and to maintain your overall oral health. Your dentist will also provide advice on how to care for your dentures at home.

Procedure

Step 1

Examination

Your journey begins with a detailed consultation. The dentist will examine your oral health, discuss your concerns, and determine the most suitable type of dentures for your needs, whether full or partial.

Step 2

Treatment Planning

Precise impressions of your mouth are taken to create dentures that fit accurately. Measurements are also recorded to ensure proper bite alignment and facial support.

Step 3

Extractions (if required)

If necessary, any remaining teeth may be prepared or removed before fitting the dentures. Time may be allowed for healing before proceeding to the next stage.

Step 4

Trial Denture Fitting

A trial denture may be created to check the fit, shape, and appearance. Adjustments can be made at this stage to improve comfort, function, and aesthetics.

Step 5

Final Denture Placement

Once the final denture is ready, it is fitted and adjusted to ensure a secure and comfortable fit. The dentist will check your bite and make any necessary refinements.

Step 6

Aftercare

Follow-up appointments may be required to make minor adjustments as your mouth adapts. Guidance will also be provided on cleaning, maintenance, and wearing your dentures comfortably.

Everyone at Dental Atelier London was friendly and helpful and I was happy with my treatments. I was quite anxious about my treatments (implant and veneer) but the dentists made me feel at ease. They made sure I understood everything and made sure I was happy with everything. The receptionist was also really friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend

I came at Dental Atelier London for just one implant after checking 3 different clinics.. I had an absolutely great experience. I have chosen Dental Atelier London because the specialist goes straight to the point, no one in the clinic is wasting their time about trying to sell you treatment you didn't come for. Even when I had an emergency 2 days before Christmas the specialist did everything to see me at the clinic despite he was on holidays. I live now on the other side of the city but I will keep them for my regular hygiene check. Thank you so much for everything, I can finally now eat normally !
