Dentures Maidstone
Replace missing teeth with comfortable, custom-fitted dentures at Smileology in Maidstone.
What are dentures?
Dentures are removable replacement teeth designed to replace teeth that have been lost due to decay, disease, or injury. Dentures sit on top of your gums and are held in place using natural suction and special adhesives. Patients across Maidstone and surrounding areas are choosing dentures as an affordable solution to restore their smile and ability to eat and speak normally. Dentures can be full dentures (replacing all your teeth) or partial dentures (replacing some of your teeth)
Types Of Dental Implants
Single Dental Implant
This is a good solution if you have one or two missing teeth or are looking to replace one or two teeth that are in very poor condition.
All-on-4 / Full Arch Implants
Worth considering if you have many missing teeth or no teeth at all, this treatment replaces a full arch of teeth using just 4 dental implants.
Dentures
Implant-supported dentures give your denture a stable, secure fit by anchoring it to dental implants, so you don't have to worry about it slipping when eating or speaking.
Multiple Implants
If you have several missing teeth, this option uses two or more implants to support a bridge, replacing multiple teeth without touching healthy neighbouring teeth.
Failing Implants
If you have several missing teeth, this option uses two or more implants to support a bridge, replacing multiple teeth without touching healthy neighbouring teeth.
Types of Dentures
There are several different types of dentures available at Smileology in Maidstone. Your dentist will discuss which type is most suitable for your needs.
Full Dentures
Full dentures are used when all your natural teeth need to be replaced. A complete upper denture replaces all the upper teeth, and a complete lower denture replaces all the lower teeth. Full dentures are custom-made to fit the shape of your mouth precisely. Many patients choose full dentures because they provide a natural-looking smile and restore the ability to eat and speak normally.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are designed to replace one or more missing teeth while keeping your natural teeth intact. A partial denture has a metal or plastic base that supports the replacement teeth and clasps that attach to your remaining natural teeth. Partial dentures are an excellent choice if you want to preserve your remaining teeth while filling in the gaps. They are also more affordable than full dentures.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures are anchored to dental implants that have been placed in your jawbone. Unlike traditional dentures that rest on your gums, implant-supported dentures are held securely in place by implants. This provides superior stability and prevents the dentures from slipping or moving when you eat or speak. Implant-supported dentures feel more like natural teeth and provide excellent comfort and function. The disadvantage is that they are more expensive and require surgical placement of implants.
Chrome Dentures
Chrome dentures (also called metal dentures) have a metal base instead of plastic. The metal base is stronger, thinner, and more durable than traditional plastic dentures. Chrome dentures are more expensive than acrylic dentures but offer several advantages including better heat conductivity which allows you to feel the temperature of your food, improved comfort, and a more natural appearance. Chrome dentures are an excellent choice for patients who want premium quality and long-lasting durability.
Flexible Dentures
Flexible dentures are made from a flexible plastic material that is more comfortable and flexible than traditional rigid acrylic dentures. Flexible dentures are lighter, more durable, and less likely to break if dropped. They adapt better to changes in your mouth shape and provide superior comfort. Flexible dentures have a more natural appearance with better colour matching to your gums. Many patients prefer flexible dentures because they offer the best combination of comfort, durability, and aesthetics at a reasonable price.
