Dentures in Tonbridge, Kent

Restoring Smiles and Confidence

The options available now for replacing missing teeth have expanded, offering patients more choices than ever before. Among these choices, dentures remain a tried-and-true solution that has helped countless individuals regain their smiles, oral function, and self-esteem. At Tonbridge Gentle Dental in Tonbridge, Kent, we understand the importance of providing comprehensive dental care, and our range of denture options reflects our commitment to improving your quality of life through better oral health.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and the surrounding tissues. They are custom-made to fit comfortably and securely in your mouth, providing the appearance of natural teeth while restoring your ability to chew and speak effectively.

Candidates of DenturesWho Are the Candidates of Dentures?

Dentures are a versatile dental solution suitable for a range of candidates who have experienced tooth loss. Potential candidates for dentures include:

  1. Complete Tooth Loss: Individuals who have lost all of their natural teeth in either the upper or lower arch are ideal candidates for complete dentures. These dentures replace the entire set of missing teeth, restoring both function and appearance.
  2. Partial Tooth Loss: For those with some remaining natural teeth, partial dentures are a suitable option. Partial dentures can fill in the gaps left by missing teeth, preventing further dental issues and improving oral function.
  3. Edentulous Patients: Edentulous patients, meaning those without any natural teeth, can benefit significantly from dentures. Dentures provide essential support for facial structures and help individuals speak and eat comfortably.
  4. Patients Seeking an Affordable Solution: Dentures are a cost-effective tooth replacement option compared to alternatives like dental implants. They offer an affordable way to restore a natural-looking smile.
  5. Patients Not Suitable for Implants: Some individuals may not be suitable candidates for dental implants due to underlying health conditions or insufficient bone density. Dentures provide an alternative in such cases.
  6. Those Looking for Non-Invasive Treatment: Dentures are removable and non-invasive, making them an attractive choice for individuals who prefer not to undergo surgical procedures.
  7. Patients Seeking Quick Solutions: Dentures can typically be fabricated and fitted relatively quickly, providing patients with a prompt solution for tooth replacement.

Book an appointment with us to determine the most suitable denture type and treatment plan based on individual needs and oral health conditions.

Dentures in Tonbridge, Kent - Gentle Dental

Types of Dentures

Complete Dentures

Complete dentures are used when all natural teeth are missing, providing a full set of upper or lower teeth. They rest directly on the gums and are typically held in place by natural suction.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are suitable when some natural teeth remain. They consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum-coloured base, often secured with metal clasps.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures offer enhanced stability by attaching to dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone. This option provides a more secure fit and improved chewing function.

The Advantages of Dentures

Dentures offer several advantages, including affordability, improved appearance, restored oral function, and increased self-confidence. They are a reliable solution for those seeking an effective and non-invasive way to replace missing teeth.

The Denture Fitting Process

Initial Consultation

The denture process begins with a thorough examination and consultation. Your dentist will discuss your needs, assess your oral health, and determine the best denture option for you.

Custom Impressions

Precise impressions of your mouth are taken to create dentures that fit comfortably and securely. These impressions guide the fabrication process.

Denture Fabrication

The dentures are meticulously crafted in a dental laboratory using high-quality materials to ensure durability and a natural appearance.

Final Fitting and Adjustments

Once your dentures are ready, they are fitted in your mouth. Your dentist will make any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit and optimal comfort.

Caring for Your Dentures

Proper denture care is essential for maintaining their longevity. Regular cleaning, gentle handling, and professional check-ups are crucial to ensure your dentures stay in excellent condition.

I have to admit, I'm usually not the biggest fan of dentist visits, but my recent experience at Gentle Dental changed my perspective. Ruth and her remarkable dental team provided an incredible level of care that exceeded all my expectations. Ruth, in particular, led the way with her expertise, patience and gentle approach. As someone who has always felt anxious in dental environments, Ruth's calming demeanour instantly put me at ease, and she consistently checked in to ensure I was comfortable and adjusted her approach accordingly. Gentle Dental truly lives up to its name, and I cannot recommend them enough. If anyone like me have had negative experiences with dentists in the past, this practice will hopefully be a stepping stone to change your perception. Ruth and her team have mastered the art of providing dental care that is not only exceptional but also empathetic.

I had been going to a different local private dentist and I was becoming more and more upset, frustrated and disappointed with their service, prices and their dismissive attitude towards my medical and dental needs. I was recommended Gentle Dental by a neighbour and I thank the stars that I decided to go with them. I have various medical conditions which have had a major negative impact on my teeth, my teeth were snapping off at the gums or just splintering and breaking off in chuncks. I had asked my previous dentist about removing my teeth and having dentures, however they refused and wanted to just keep doing fillings again and again on the same teeth!! I saw Dr Shahnaz Nowroozi and her amazing assistant Man (Manrupa) every single tiny thing was explained to me in detail they listened to my fears and concerns regarding my constantly breaking teeth, my really sensitive gums and my medical conditions and medications. We discussed what I ideally wanted to happen and I was actually listened to... It was explained what would be feasible and the reasons why some things wouldn't be ideal. My treatment plan was constructed while I was in the appointment and I was included at every step. For the most part it was agreed that it was a fools errand to keep trying to repair the same teeth again and again, we also discussed the full pro's and cons of having dentures etc etc. I was offered a repayment loan for my treatment however I never felt that I was being forced into taking it. My treatment was amazing, seriously, I never knew teeth could be removed without pain!! Literally my extractions were painless even the injections to numb my mouth were relatively painless. Dr Shahnaz and Man treated me like I was their most important client, I was constantly asked if I was OK and comfortable (I am riddled with quite acute arthritis in my neck and back and every effort was made to completely accommodate me) I really cannot praise the above staff enough, my completed dentures are amazing and I am like a new person, I have my confidence back, I can talk to people without having to hover my hand in front of my mouth, people have said that they would never have guessed that I had dentures because they fit so well and look so good. Overall every staff member I met at Tonbridge Gentle Dental was friendly and helpful but Dr Shahnaz and Man her assistant are both absolutely amazing and I don't think I would ever be comfortable seeing another dentist again.

I have been absolutely terrified of dentists since I was 14 years old and had to go to the school dentist. I cannot praise gentle dental enough they are so kind, knowledgeable and brilliant, they restored my faith in dental care, I will never worry again. Outstanding.

I have nothing but praise and appreciation for the receptionists, dentist and nurse who dealt with me. I could not be more pleased with my new dentures and a big thank you to Dr Neethu Joy for all the time and detail she went to making sure they fitted well. A ten out of ten from me. Sandra
