What Are Dentures?
According to the NHS, dentures are custom-made removable appliances designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding gum tissues. Dentures are a common dental prosthesis used to address the functional and aesthetic impacts of missing teeth.
At Allen House Dental Crewe,our dentists will carefully design your dentures to improve your ability to chew, speak, and smile comfortably.
Dentures can be used to replace:
A Few Missing Teeth (Partial Dentures)
At Allen House Dental, we prescribe partial dentures for patients who have a few natural teeth remaining. Partial dentures fit around existing teeth and help prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting out of position. These dentures gain support from the remaining teeth and surrounding tissues.
All Missing Teeth (Complete Dentures)
We recommend complete dentures when all teeth in the upper or lower jaw are missing. These dentures sit on the gums and are designed to support the lips and facial muscles.
Modern denture materials enable us to create natural-looking, durable restorations. While most patients adapt well, an adjustment period is normal and minor refinements may be required to optimise comfort.
Who May Benefit from Dentures?
Our dentists may recommend dentures to patients who:
Have Multiple Missing Teeth
Dentures can replace several missing teeth or an entire arch, helping restore balance and chewing ability.
Are Not Suitable for Dental Implants
Some patients may not be ideal candidates for implants due to insufficient jawbone density, specific medical factors, or personal preference. Such patients can benefit from removable dentures.
Prefer a Removable Tooth Replacement Option
You can easily remove your dentures for cleaning and maintenance. This makes them a convenient option for many patients.
Want to Improve Chewing, Speech, and Smile Appearance
Replacing missing teeth may help improve speech clarity, chewing function, and facial support.
A thorough dental examination helps determine whether dentures are suitable and allows our dentist to create a personalised treatment plan.
Types of Dentures at Allen House Dental Crewe
Acrylic Dentures
Acrylic dentures are a common, cost-effective tooth-replacement option. They are often chosen by patients receiving dentures for the first time or those requiring a temporary solution.
These dentures are made from lightweight acrylic resin and can be designed as full or partial dentures depending on your needs.
Key features:
- Lightweight and comfortable for many patients
- Suitable for replacing some or all missing teeth
- Easier to adjust or repair if needed
- Often used as first-time or transitional dentures.
Acrylic dentures at Allen House Dental Crewe typically start from £850 per arch, with the final cost confirmed after clinical assessment.
Chrome (Cobalt-Chromium) Dentures
Chrome dentures use a strong cobalt-chromium metal framework combined with acrylic and prosthetic teeth. Our dentists recommend these dentures for patients who need a more durable, stable partial denture.
Key features:
- Strong metal framework for improved durability
- Thinner and often more stable than acrylic dentures
- Designed for long-term use
- Suitable for many partial denture cases
At Allen House Dental Crewe, cobalt-chromium dentures typically start from £1,000, with the final cost depending on the design and complexity.
What to Expect During Denture Treatment
Our dentists will carefully plan each denture treatment procedure to achieve the best possible fit and comfort.
Initial Consultation
Our dentist will examine your mouth and discuss suitable treatment options based on your oral health and preferences.
Impressions & Records
We will make impressions of your mouth to create accurate models. We will send these models to our dental laboratory to design your custom-made dentures.
Try-In Stage
At the next appointment, we will prepare a trial denture with teeth set in wax so that our dentist can check the appearance, alignment, and fit before the final denture is made.
Final Fitting
Once your dentures are ready, they will be fitted and adjusted to ensure comfort and proper function.
Aftercare & Reviews
Follow-up appointments allow our dentist to monitor comfort, make adjustments if necessary, and provide ongoing care advice.
Benefits of Well-Fitted Dentures
Well-designed dentures can provide several benefits:
Improved Chewing and Speech
Replacing missing teeth can help you eat and speak more comfortably.
Enhanced Facial Support
Dentures can help support facial muscles and reduce the "sunken" appearance often associated with bone loss following tooth extraction.
Improved Smile Appearance
Modern dentures are designed to look natural and enhance your smile.
Non-Surgical Tooth Replacement Option
Dentures offer a non-invasive dental restoration for patients who prefer to avoid surgery or have insufficient jawbone density for implants.
Important Considerations
Before beginning denture treatment, it is important to understand that results can vary from one individual to another.
Adjustment Period
It may take time to become comfortable speaking and eating with new dentures.
Changes in Jawbone and Gum Tissue
Over time, natural changes in jawbone density and gum tissue shape occur. Therefore, you may require periodic adjustments or relining of your dentures to maintain a secure fit and optimal function.
Risk of Damage
Removable dentures, particularly those made of acrylic, are brittle. Therefore, they tend to break if dropped accidentally or poorly maintained.
Good Oral Hygiene Is Essential
Proper cleaning of both dentures and gums helps reduce the risk of irritation or infection.

How long do dentures last?

Will dentures look natural?
Our dentist carefully selects tooth shape, size, and shade to suit your features and smile. While modern materials look realistic, final appearance varies between individuals.
Can I sleep with my dentures in?
To maintain oral health, our Ipswich dentists generally recommend removing dentures at night to allow the gingival tissues (gums) to rest and reduce the risk of oral candidiasis (thrush) or irritation.Our clinician will provide specific individual advice during your consultation.
Are dentures painful?
Mild soreness is common when adjusting to new dentures. If discomfort continues, our dentist can review the fit and make necessary adjustments.
How do I clean my dentures?
We recommend daily cleaning with a denture brush and non-abrasive cleanser, along with soaking as recommended to maintain hygiene and longevity.
Can dentures be repaired if they break?
Many cracked or damaged dentures can be repaired. Our Ipswich clinical team will assess the damage and determine if a repair or a full replacement is required to maintain your oral function.
