Dentures in Twickenham
Dentures that fit, and look like teeth.
Modern dentures are lighter, better fitting and far more natural-looking than the ones people remember. Where a denture moves, implants can be used to hold it firmly in place without going to a full fixed bridge.

How treatment works
Step by step, no surprises
Assessment
What is left, what the gums and bone can support, and whether implants would transform the fit.
Try-in
Teeth are set in wax first, so you can see the shape, shade and lip support and change them before anything is finished.
Fit and adjust
Fitting, then short review appointments over the following weeks — a good denture is usually adjusted two or three times.

Common questions
Dentures, answered honestly
How long does it take to get used to a denture?
A few weeks for speech and eating to feel normal, and expect one or two adjustment appointments in that time. That is routine, not a sign anything is wrong.
Can implants hold my denture?
Yes — often two to four implants are enough to lock a lower denture in place, which is the single biggest improvement most denture wearers can make.
Will people be able to tell?
Well-made dentures are not obvious. Tooth shade, shape and gum colour are all chosen to suit your face and age rather than off a chart.
Before you decide
Risks and alternatives
Like any dental treatment, dentures carries risks, and whether it suits you depends on a full examination. Things to weigh up can include sensitivity, the need for maintenance or replacement in future, and whether healthy tooth structure has to be altered.
Alternatives may include a less invasive option, a different treatment, or no treatment at all. Your written plan sets out the risks, alternatives and fees that apply to you before you decide.
