Denture FAQs
How much do dentures cost in Stevenage?
At Bowling Green Dental Surgery, partial plastic dentures start from £575, chrome partial dentures from £875, full dentures are £800 (upper or lower) and £1,500 for a full upper and lower set. Implant-retained dentures (2 implants + acrylic denture) start from £4,500. Prices depend on complexity and materials — a full written estimate is provided before treatment begins.
How long do dentures take to make?
The process typically takes 4–8 weeks from the first impression to final fitting, involving several appointments. This allows time for precise fabrication and fitting adjustments to ensure the most comfortable and natural result.
Are dentures comfortable to wear?
Modern dentures are designed to fit precisely and look natural. There is an adjustment period — most patients adapt within a few weeks. Chrome (cobalt-chromium) partial dentures are generally more comfortable and stable than plastic ones as they are slimmer and more securely retained.
What is the difference between partial and full dentures?
A partial denture replaces some missing teeth and clips around your remaining natural teeth for support. A full (complete) denture replaces an entire arch of missing teeth and sits on the gum. Both can be made from plastic acrylic or chrome (metal framework with acrylic teeth).
Can I sleep in my dentures?
We generally advise removing dentures at night to allow your gums to rest and to clean them properly. This also helps extend the life of the denture and maintain gum health.
What are implant-retained dentures?
Implant-retained dentures (also called implant-supported overdentures) clip onto two or more dental implants for a far more secure and stable fit than conventional dentures. They eliminate slipping and significantly improve chewing ability. They are a life-changing upgrade for patients who struggle with conventional full dentures.
My dentures are loose — what can I do?
Loose dentures are usually caused by bone and gum changes that occur naturally over time after tooth loss. Options include relining the existing denture (adding material to improve the fit), making a new denture, or upgrading to implant-retained dentures for a permanently secure fit.
