Maybe the gaps are out of sight and you’ve learned to chew around them. Before you decide they don’t matter, find out at our McPhillips Street clinic what replacing them could involve.
Let's find a time
People adapt surprisingly well to missing teeth. You chew on your better side, skip a few favourite foods and keep your smile a bit smaller, until the arrangement feels normal. There’s no deadline on this page, but it’s still fair to ask whether your workaround is your only option.
Dentures can replace several or all missing teeth, with a view to improving chewing, speech and support for the lips and cheeks. They’re not the same as natural teeth, and adjusting takes effort, so it’s reasonable to weigh it up. An examination can give you real information to weigh.
Explore dentures
Foods you avoid and habits you’ve formed can reveal how much those gaps affect your day.
A denture may help with chewing and speech, but it’s removable and takes time to get used to.
A consultation can give you information to think about, and you can consider it in your own time.
The two conventional designs depend on how many teeth remain. In either case, planning balances appearance, speech, chewing, comfort and support for your face.
A partial denture is made to replace chosen teeth and use the natural ones that remain, along with the oral tissues, for support and retention.
With a complete denture, the replacement covers the whole arch, drawing its support from the tissues and jaw shape rather than from natural teeth.
Removable dentures are one choice among others. Your examination determines what would be suitable.
You can stop after the first conversation if you’d like to think it over. Should you continue, a denture develops over a series of visits.
Request your visitThe dentist looks at your tissues, remaining teeth and jaw relationship. Say what you’ve been avoiding, and ask what the gaps mean for your mouth.
Impressions or scans document your mouth and teeth, and jaw records show how your bite comes together.
A try-in comes before processing, so you can judge the look of the teeth, how you speak and how the bite feels.
On receiving your denture, pressure areas, retention and function are checked. Follow-up then supports you as your mouth gets used to it.
Spend a couple of days noticing what you do differently because of the missing teeth. Do you cut your food smaller, cover your mouth or avoid certain meals? That’s useful to mention.
Also jot down what you’d hope a replacement could do for you, and which part of having one makes you hesitate.
A consultation room and a treatment room.
Some people dread the idea of a removable appliance, while others are simply tired of the gaps. Whichever you feel, it’s helpful to tell the dentist, because your priorities should guide the conversation.
Worries about taking teeth out at night, or being seen without them, are perfectly fair things to raise.
It’s good to hear what a denture can improve as well as what will stay different from natural teeth.
Food, conversation and saliva can all feel different at first, before a new appliance starts to become routine.
If you choose to go ahead, or not
Choosing a denture adds some daily care and ongoing checks. Deciding against one doesn’t remove the need for dental care for your remaining teeth and gums.
Expect adjustments as your mouth adapts, and a daily routine of brushing it outside the mouth with a suitable cleanser.
Your remaining teeth and gums still deserve regular reviews, and it’s fine to reopen the discussion if things change.
Losing another tooth, or finding it harder to eat, could be a natural moment to look at your options again.

Helpful details about dentures in Northwood.
Ask our teamThat’s a personal decision made with dental advice. Ask the dentist how those particular gaps relate to your chewing and bite, and what your options are.
There’s no fixed number. A partial is designed to replace selected teeth, and whether it’s right for you is something an assessment can help you determine.
They can improve chewing, though they don’t exactly match natural teeth. Share the foods you miss, so you can hear a realistic view of what practice might achieve.
Bridges and implants are other tooth-replacement options that could come up. Your dentist can explain which of them, if any, could work in your mouth.
Planning takes support for the lips and cheeks into account, along with speech and appearance. Ask what change you might expect in your own case.
