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.

The denture process in Norwich
4 steps to a secure and natural fit

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

Dentures FAQs in Norwich
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?
Yes. Over time gums and jawbones shrink, so dentures may need adjusting or relining. Yearly reviews are recommended for patients in Norwich, Thorpe St Andrew, Old Catton and Sprowston.
