Dentures in Keighley
Dentures are the oldest and simplest solutions to missing teeth.
With a history dating back thousands of years, replacing missing teeth with dentures has stood the test of time. Modern dentures are far from their old versions—they are custom-made, sleek, and designed to look and feel natural. Today’s natural-looking dentures can help you get back the confidence to smile, eat, and speak comfortably. Stay with us to understand more about the benefits of dentures and how Taylored Dental Care, Keighley, offers dentures that help you live life to the fullest.
What are dentures?
Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth, crafted to fit your mouth and restore your smile. Often called ‘plates,’ these sturdy acrylic and/or metal plates fit snugly in your mouth with realistic-looking teeth attached to them. Are dentures removable? Yes, you can remove dentures and massage your gums. The best dentures can effortlessly replace the function and appearance of missing teeth.
Modern dentures are not clunky, bulky, artificial-looking or easily breakable.
Advanced materials like infused acrylic, cobalt chrome metals, and flexible nylon resin (Valplast) and technology can create dentures that are lightweight, durable, and seamlessly blend with your facial features. Whether you’re missing a few teeth or need a full set, there’s a denture option that’s right for you.
Why choose dentures?
Dentures today are a far cry from what they used to be. Here’s why modern, natural-looking dentures are comfortable and stand out:
Exquisitely natural
Custom-made dentures are designed to suit the facial structures, skin tone and personality of a person. They look just like real teeth, ensuring your smile is as confident as ever.
Custom-fit
Advanced technology and dental materials make dentures tailored to fit your mouth that accurately simulate your biting, chewing and speaking activities. The perfect fit ensures minimal discomfort.
Improved materials
Lightweight, durable, and stain-resistant materials make modern dentures both practical and long-lasting.
Enhanced comfort
Designed for better stability and less irritation, they’re ideal for all-day wear.
Easy maintenance
Modern dentures are simple to care for and designed for everyday use. Dentures for seniors are made to be sturdy and strong, reducing the chances of breakage, dropping and slippage.
Types of dentures
Dentures in Keighley offer a variety of options to meet your specific needs. We design each type of denture with comfort and functionality in mind.
- Conventional dentures: These are custom-made dentures that take support from the gums and are removable. They can be further divided into:
- Full dentures or complete dentures: For those who have lost all their teeth, full dentures replace an entire arch of teeth—either upper, lower, or both. They’re custom-made to fit securely and restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently.
- Partial dentures: If you’re missing only a few teeth, partial dentures are an excellent option. They’re designed to fill the gaps, keeping your remaining teeth in place and restoring full function to your mouth.
- Acrylic dentures: These dentures are lightweight, cost-effective, and made from high-quality acrylic material. They’re perfect for those seeking a natural-looking smile without compromising on durability.
- Metal-framed dentures: Metal-framed dentures, often made with chrome cobalt, are highly durable and provide a more secure fit. Despite the metal frame, they are discreet and designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
- Implant-supported dentures: For those looking for a more permanent solution without the daily hassle of removing and cleaning dentures, we offer implant-supported dentures. These are considered the gold standard for replacing missing teeth and can support eating, speaking and smiling perfectly. Unlike conventional dentures that rely on suction or denture adhesives, implant-supported dentures are fixed in place and are supported by dental implants.
Are conventional dentures right for you?
Dentures are suitable for anyone who’s missing teeth, whether it’s a single tooth, several, or all of them. Here is why the modern, traditional, comfortable dentures could be for you:
- You struggle with eating or speaking with missing teeth.
- You wish to improve your smile and the contours, wrinkles and folds near your lips and cheeks.
- You struggle with eating or speaking with missing teeth.
- Your remaining teeth are in poor condition and need replacement soon.
- You’re looking for a cost-effective alternative to implants.
Not sure if dentures are right for you? Don’t worry—we’ll guide you through all the options during your consultation and recommend the best solution for your needs.
Frequently asked questions
Can you have dentures with gum disease?
Yes! Modern dentures are made with specialised techniques to uniformly distribute the biting forces and prevent pressure on the gums. Thus, they can be worn even if you have gum disease.
How long do dentures last?
With proper care, dentures can last 5–10 years. Regular check-ups will help ensure they remain in excellent condition.
Can I eat normally with dentures?
Yes! While it may take a little time to adjust, you’ll soon be able to enjoy your favourite foods again.
