What types of dentures does MyoDental offer?

MyoDental provides several types of dentures, including partial acrylic dentures for a few missing teeth, complete acrylic dentures when all teeth in the upper or lower jaw are missing, cobalt chrome dentures that use a lightweight metal framework and clasps for extra stability, and implant-supported dentures that clip onto implants placed in the jaw for a more fixed, secure option.

How much do dentures cost privately at MyoDental?

The dentures page explains that partial acrylic dentures start from £850, complete acrylic dentures from £1,200 per arch, partial cobalt chrome dentures from £1,500 and implant-supported dentures from around £4,500 for a full arch. The exact fee depends on how many teeth need replacing, the denture material and the complexity of your case.

What is the difference between acrylic, chrome and implant dentures?

Acrylic dentures are made from high-quality plastic and are often the most affordable and versatile option, suitable for partial or full dentures and relatively easy to adjust. Chrome dentures use a slim metal framework with clasps that can offer a more precise fit and better stability over a longer period. Implant dentures are secured to dental implants placed in the jawbone, giving a fixed-feeling solution that does not rely on suction or adhesive and can provide the closest experience to natural teeth.

Can dentures become loose and what can be done about it?

The dentures page explains that jawbone and gum shrinkage after tooth loss means that conventional dentures will gradually become looser over time, regardless of how much they initially cost. Regular adjustments and relining can improve the fit, but the only way to prevent ongoing loosening is to use dental implants. Implant-supported dentures clip onto implants, helping them feel more secure and reducing the need for frequent relining or adhesive.

Are implant-supported dentures a better option than traditional dentures?

Implant-supported dentures are described as the only way to truly fix denture prostheses in place for good. Because they connect to implants in the jawbone, they provide better stability, comfort and chewing power, and they help reduce bone loss by stimulating the jaw. They also avoid the bulk of a traditional palate and usually require far less or no adhesive, making them a more permanent and convenient long-term solution for many patients.

What finance options are available for dentures?

All denture treatments at MyoDental can be purchased using 0% APR dental finance over 12 months, allowing you to spread the cost into monthly instalments. For larger treatment plans, interest-bearing finance is also available over terms of up to 60 months at 11.9% APR. Example calculations on the site show guide payments from around £18.43 per month over 60 months for some denture options, subject to status and the final treatment cost.

Am I suitable for dentures at MyoDental?

Most patients with multiple missing teeth or complete tooth loss in one or both jaws are suitable for some form of denture. At your consultation, the dentist will assess how many teeth are missing, the health of your gums and any remaining teeth, your medical history and your goals and budget. They will then recommend the most appropriate option, whether that is partial or complete acrylic dentures, cobalt chrome dentures or implant-supported dentures.

How do I book a denture consultation at MyoDental?

You can arrange a free initial denture consultation by using the “Book appointment” or “Book a free consultation” links on the dentures page, calling 01932 989785 or contacting the practice via the online forms.

Q: How long do dentures last?

Modern dentures are described as lasting between about 5 and 15 years, depending on the type. Complete dentures typically last around 5 years, acrylic dentures are usually quoted as lasting 5–8 years and cobalt chrome and implant-supported dentures can last longer when well maintained. Over time, natural changes in your gums and jawbone mean that all dentures will eventually need adjusting, relining or replacing.

Q: Can I eat normally with dentures?

Yes. Dentures are designed to restore your ability to chew and eat more normally, although it can take a short period to get used to them. MyoDental advises starting with softer foods and gradually moving on to harder, chewier foods as your confidence and control with the new dentures improve.

Q: Will my dentures affect my speech?

The site notes that it is common for new dentures to affect speech slightly at first. Most patients find that any lisp or change in pronunciation settles as they adapt to wearing the dentures. Practising speaking at home, reading aloud and wearing your dentures regularly will help your speech become clearer again over time.

Q: Can I wear dentures while sleeping?

No. MyoDental specifically advises against wearing dentures while you sleep. Removing your dentures at night allows your gums to rest, helps reduce the risk of irritation and infection and makes it easier to clean the denture and your mouth properly before bed and in the morning.

Modern denture solutions

Dentures are a traditional, noninvasive solution for replacing missing teeth quickly (often within a few weeks).

Even with the emergence of dental implants for missing teeth, we understand that some patients still want to opt for removable dentures, whether it be for budgetary needs or because the procedure is not as scary, as it requires no surgical treatment or injections—just a few impressions.

Over the years, dentures have advanced slightly, providing more precise fits with solutions like Cobalt Chrome dentures, which use metal clasps to keep the dentures from slipping out of place.

However, dentures cannot help the effects of tooth loss over time, which causes the gums and bone in your jaw to shrink.

This shrinkage causes the dentures to become loose-fitting, which means you’ll frequently need to replace them throughout your lifetime.

What about dentures you can wear all the time?

Patients only have three options when replacing missing teeth: dentures, bridges or dental implants. The dream tooth replacement method for patients is a prosthetic they can always wear that you don’t have to take out or worry about accidents like it slipping out of place (and still feeling comfortable).

The only way we can fix a denture prosthesis is with dental implants – and several types are offered to provide patients with a palateless denture option, like All-on-4 and implant-retained dentures.

The advantage of implant-supported dentures is that they provide a more permanent solution to tooth loss that doesn’t require any relining over time, so you can avoid the constant fuss of adjusting your dentures.

Solving the problem of loose dentures – is it possible?

Unfortunately, choosing dentures as your tooth replacement solution for life means you’ll require frequent adjustments because they will become loose, causing you discomfort from time to time.

It doesn’t matter how much you pay for your dentures or how advanced they’re made – even the most well-fitting, advanced dentures on the market will become loose over time.

When you have missing teeth, there’s no longer a tooth root that stimulates the bone in your jaw, causing it to deplete more and more over time.

The only way around this is with dental implants, which act like an artificial tooth root to stop the bone from depleting.

With implant-supported dentures, we can clip dentures onto the implants so they look, feel, and function just like normal teeth would.

With these fixed dentures, you won’t require any additional fixatives and can enjoy thinner, less bulkier teeth.

How much do we charge for dentures? Costs to expect

The cost of your dentures depends on the type of tooth loss and the number of teeth to be replaced.

The cost will also vary depending on the type of denture we provide, such as an acrylic, cobalt chrome, or implant-supported denture.

Here’s an overview of costs:

Immediate partial acrylic dentures from £850
Complete acrylic dentures (upper or lower jaw) from £1,200
Partial Cobalt Chrome Dentures from £1,500

All of our denture treatments are available to purchase with 0% APR dental finance over 12 months, allowing you to split the cost into instalments. Interest-bearing terms are available up to 60 months.

After a few weeks, MyoDental can easily make adjustments to your dentures to improve the fit if required.
