What Are Dentures?
Dentures are custom-made, removable appliances designed to replace missing teeth and fit comfortably over your gums. Each set is individually crafted to ensure a natural look and feel, tailored specifically to your mouth.
Tooth loss can affect more than just your ability to eat and speak—it can also impact your appearance and facial structure. Dentures help restore function, enhance your smile, and support facial contours, particularly around the lips and cheeks.
Benefits include improved speech and chewing, increased confidence, and reduced strain on remaining teeth. At Dental Icon our dental team will ensure your dentures look so natural that most people won’t even know you’re wearing them.

Dentures : The Process
Initial Consultation and Examination
Your dentist will evaluate your oral health, take x-rays if required and discuss the dentures treatment, fit and process.
Impressions and Measurements
Precise molds and measurements of your mouth are taken to create dentures that fit comfortably and function well.
Placement & Adjustments
At this appointment your dentist will place the dentures and ensure they fit comfortably and securely. If any adjustments are required then your dentist will complete them at this stage.
Aftercare
After your dentures are fitted, your dentist will provide full guidance on care and adjustments to ensure comfort, proper fit, and long-term oral health and schedule any follow-up appointments if required.
Why Do I Need Dentures?
Dentures may be necessary when teeth are lost due to decay, gum disease, trauma, or age-related changes. Missing teeth can impact your ability to chew and speak, and may also alter your facial appearance. Cosmetic dentures are designed to restore function and aesthetics, helping you eat and speak more comfortably while supporting facial muscles to prevent sagging and maintain a natural look.
They also promote oral health by preventing remaining teeth from shifting out of place. Whether you require partial or full dentures, they can restore your smile, enhance your quality of life, and support long-term dental well-being. Modern dentures are crafted to look and feel just like natural teeth, offering a reliable and attractive tooth replacement solution.
Types Of Cosmetic Dentures At Dental Icon
Full (Complete) Dentures
Full dentures are removable appliances used to replace all missing teeth in the upper or lower jaw. Custom-made for comfort and a natural appearance, they restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently. Full dentures also support facial structure, helping maintain a youthful look and overall oral health.
Immediate Full Dentures
Immediate full dentures are placed immediately after tooth extraction, allowing you to leave the practice with a complete smile the same day. They help protect gums during healing and maintain appearance.
Partial Dentures
These are used when you still have some natural teeth remaining. They are held in place by clasps that attach to your natural teeth.
Overdentures - Implant Supported
Overdentures are removable dentures that fit over remaining natural teeth or dental implants for added stability and comfort. They offer improved retention compared to traditional dentures, enhancing chewing ability, speech, and overall confidence. Overdentures also help preserve jawbone structure and reduce long-term changes to facial appearance and oral health.
Flexible Dentures
At Dental Icon we also offer flexible dentures by Valplast and Sunflex as an alternative to traditional dentures. This type of denture is particularly suited to patients with irregular-shaped mouths and who are not suitable for traditional dentures.

Looking After Your Dentures
On the whole, dentures are strong and hard-wearing and should last for many years.
- It is important to ensure you visit your dentist at Dental Icon for regular check-ups once a year (even when you have a full/complete denture) so that we can check the health of your gums.
- Dentures should be removed at night (unless otherwise directed) to give your gums a chance to rest.
- Always clean your dentures with a toothbrush or a special denture brush and only use denture cream.
- Store them in water or a specific denture-friendly solution. Never let them dry out as they may go hard and lose their shape. You should aim to clean your dentures after every meal if possible.
- Rinse your dentures thoroughly before you put them back in.
- Remember to also brush your gums, tongue and any remaining teeth when you remove your dentures at night to ensure they stay healthy too.
