What are dentures in Norwich?

A removable solution for missing teeth

A denture is a removable prosthesis used to replace missing teeth. Commonly referred to as ‘false teeth’, a denture is usually made of acrylic or a combination of acrylic and metal.

A partial denture is fitted to replace some missing teeth whilst a complete denture is indicated when all natural teeth are missing.

A good set of dentures helps you to eat, speak, function, and often improves a person’s appearance.

Who are dentures suitable for in NR7?

A practical option for partial or full tooth loss

Dentures can be suitable for patients across Norwich, Thorpe St Andrew, Old Catton and Sprowston who have missing teeth and want a removable solution to restore eating, speaking and everyday confidence.

They can also be a good option if you are not ready for, or not suitable for, treatments such as dental implants. Your dentist will talk you through what is best for your mouth and your goals.

1. Examination and diagnosis

After the initial visit of examination and diagnosis, your dentist will assess your oral health and discuss the best denture option.

2. Impressions and bite registration

Subsequent visits will include taking impressions of the mouth and recording your bite for accurate fit.

3. Try-in and adjustments

A try-in appointment allows us to check comfort, appearance and function before the final denture is completed.

4. Fitting and review

Your denture is fitted, and follow-up visits ensure you adapt comfortably.

New dentures always feel strange at first. Several days or weeks are required before you get accustomed to them.

Adjusting to new dentures in NR7

What to expect in the first few weeks

  • Increased salivary flow – You may experience an increase in salivary flow when the dentures are first inserted. This is a natural response that returns to normal after a few weeks.
  • Speech – New dentures may alter your speech initially. Reading out loud and practising certain words will speed up the adaptation process.
  • Sore spots – Minor irritation or pressure spots are common. Your dentist can adjust the denture surface to relieve discomfort.

Stop wearing the denture if irritation is very painful and consult your dentist immediately.

Caring for your dentures in Norwich

Keeping your smile fresh and healthy

Care of your dentures – Like natural teeth, dentures can accumulate plaque and food debris.

If possible, dentures should be removed and cleaned after every meal.

Remember:

  • Use a soft hand brush or denture brush
  • Avoid very hot water as it may distort the denture
  • Use mild detergent, not abrasive cleaners
  • Do not use bleach on pink acrylic
  • Clean over a basin of water to avoid breakage
  • Soak in denture cleanser weekly

I am very satisfied with my doctor. Although I usually find it difficult to feel comfortable with doctors I don’t know, he managed the situation very well — professional, polite, and with a good sense of humor. The whole team is polite and welcoming. However, I would suggest reviewing the current policy regarding appointment cancellations or rescheduling, as unexpected situations can happen to anyone.

Common questions answered

How long does it take to get used to dentures?

Most patients in Norwich NR7 adjust within a few days or weeks, although adaptation varies from person to person - especially if you are travelling in from Thorpe St Andrew, Old Catton or Sprowston for your first fitting.

Will dentures affect my speech?

Speech changes are common initially. Reading aloud and practising words helps most Norwich patients adapt quickly, including those from NR7, Thorpe St Andrew, Old Catton and Sprowston.

How should I clean my dentures?

Dentures should be cleaned daily with a soft brush and soaked weekly in cleanser. Good hygiene helps prevent stains and odour for denture wearers across Norwich and NR7.

Do dentures need regular review?
