In truth, modern dentures are far removed from this, offering comfortable and reliable solutions for patients with multiple missing teeth.
Here at Predent, for example, our contemporary dentures are made from cobalt chrome, impact acrylic and flexible nylon resin (Valplast) to ensure the best possible outcome in terms of functionality and aesthetics. So if you are considering dentures as a way to replace missing teeth, talk to us about our conventional and implant-supported appliances.
Conventional dentures offer a non-surgical and cost-effective way of replacing multiple missing teeth. Designed using state-of-the-art materials, our dentures in Earls Court are designed to maximise comfort while optimising functionality and aesthetics. Patients can choose from full or partial versions depending upon their current oral health state, and the process takes 2-3 visits over a 4-6 week period.

In addition to traditional dentures that sit on the gum line, we also provide implant-supported varieties. As the name suggests, implant dentures can either be ‘supported’ (removable) or ‘retained’ fixed by a series of implants that are anchored into the jaw). This differs from conventional dentures, which are always removable and are held in place by either suction or denture adhesive, or a combination of both.
The key advantage of implant dentures is that they are fully supported by titanium posts that are anchored directly in the jaw. This creates a solid platform for the dentures to sit on, meaning there is no possibility of movement once the denture is in place.
Other advantages include:
