Tooth loss can significantly impact your daily life, affecting your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. At O’Hagan & Murray Dental Practice, we understand how important it is to restore both function and aesthetics when replacing missing teeth. That’s why we offer a range of modern denture solutions designed to provide comfort, durability, and a natural appearance. Whether you need a full set of dentures or a partial replacement, our high-quality options ensure the best possible fit for your needs. Let’s explore the three main types of dentures available at our practice: Full Upper and Lower Acrylic Dentures, Partial Acrylic Dentures, and Chrome Dentures. We’ll cover their benefits, differences, and how to choose the right option for you.
Full Upper and Lower Acrylic Dentures (From £682)
Full acrylic dentures are designed for patients who have lost all their teeth in either the upper or lower arch, or both. These dentures consist of a gum-coloured acrylic base that holds artificial teeth, providing a functional and aesthetic solution for complete tooth loss.
Benefits
- Natural Appearance – The acrylic base is tinted to match your gum colour, and the artificial teeth are carefully shaped and shaded to resemble natural teeth.
- Restores Oral Function – They help restore your ability to chew food properly and speak clearly.
- Supports Facial Structure – Full dentures prevent the sunken facial appearance that often accompanies tooth loss.
- Custom Fit – At O’Hagan & Murray, we ensure that our dentures are tailored to fit comfortably, minimising movement and irritation.
Partial Acrylic Dentures (From £258)
Partial acrylic dentures are ideal for patients who have lost multiple teeth but still have some remaining natural teeth. These dentures consist of an acrylic base that holds artificial teeth, filling the gaps while preserving the alignment of the existing teeth. Small metal clasps help secure the denture to adjacent natural teeth for stability.
Benefits
- Prevents Teeth from Shifting – Partial dentures help maintain the proper spacing and alignment of your remaining teeth.
- Cost-Effective – Compared to dental implants and bridges, partial dentures are an affordable tooth replacement option.
- Non-Invasive – Unlike fixed restorations, partial dentures do not require alterations to adjacent teeth.
- Easy Adjustments – If additional teeth are lost in the future, they can often be added to an existing partial denture.
Chrome Dentures (From £600)
Chrome dentures, also known as cobalt-chrome dentures, are a more advanced alternative to acrylic partial dentures. They have a lightweight yet strong metal framework, providing greater durability and comfort. Unlike acrylic dentures, which cover a larger portion of the gums, chrome dentures use a thinner base while securely attaching to the natural teeth.
Benefits
- Enhanced Strength & Durability – Chrome dentures are resistant to breakage and long-lasting compared to acrylic alternatives.
- Improved Comfort – The metal framework allows for a more precise and secure fit, reducing movement and discomfort.
- Less Bulk – Since chrome dentures cover less gum tissue, they provide a more natural feel when eating and speaking.
- Better Stability – They offer greater retention and function, especially for patients with multiple missing teeth.
