Dentures

Get your confidence back with our comfortable dentures.

Dentures are fixed or removable replacements for missing teeth and are made of artificial gums and teeth that blend in with your natural teeth. They have been around many years and their function and comfort has greatly improved during that time. The main advantage of dentures is that they provide a more affordable solution than bridges and implants, while still allowing you to talk, eat and socialise with a confident smile. And at K2 Dental, we can provide the latest flexible dentures that are currently so popular.

Why you may need dentures

Dentures are always used to replace missing teeth and it’s important to sort out that problem for both aesthetic and functional reasons. Chewing, talking and dental hygiene are all much harder when teeth are missing. Furthermore, missing teeth can cause your cheeks to sag, which can make you appear older than you are. Above all, missing teeth can have a negative impact on your self confidence, but dentures can fix the problem.

The main causes of tooth loss are:

• Trauma
• Advanced gum disease
• Tooth decay

The different types of dentures 

Complete dentures are used in cases where all teeth are missing, whereas partial dentures only replace a portion of your teeth.

They also come in a variety of materials, the latest being  Valplast Dentures (only partial) which are made of a flexible nylon. Other options available are standard acrylic and chrome dentures. We will always suggest the most appropriate option for you after an initial consultation.

The latest Valplast Dentures

If you just need partial dentures, the new Valplast Dentures are the most comfortable and easy to clean option on the market today. They are made of an extremely strong nylon which means they can be made very thin. The benefits of flexible dentures compared to more traditional alternatives are:

• They are more comfortable, because they move with your mouth as you talk and chew.
• They are less visible, because they are so thin and almost blend with your gums.
• They feel less bulky, because there is no metal frame to weigh them down.
• They last longer, because they are so strong.
