False Teeth (Dentures)

Tailored Solutions to Replace Missing Teeth

Custom Dentures for a Confident Smile

When you have missing teeth a denture or a pair of dentures can be custom made to fill the gaps. They can be made to replace just one tooth, a few teeth, or all your teeth.

Your Riverdale dentist can make you dentures on the NHS or Privately. They are custom made to fit your gums so you can have the happy, confident smile you deserve.

Privately a Clinical Dental Technician may be available to make your dentures, and we can also make dentures that are secured in with dental implants.

False teeth and dentures FAQs

Yes. If you choose not to remove them at night you are likely to get a sore mouth and may develop, and need treatment for a yeast infection like thrush.

Unfortunately nothing lasts forever and dentures will need to be periodically replaced either due to wear and tear or because over time your gums will change shape and your dentures may not fit as well.

Yes, dentures can be fitted to receded gums. However, the more receeded your gums are the less retentive your denture will be. It may be worth considering implants if you have receeded gums.

Dentures are removable and we strongly advise that you clean your gums and dentures daily.

Dentures are available under NHS treatment.

Dentures fall under Band 3 of NHS fees. For up-to-date details on Band 3 pricing, visit our

Prateek Akhoury

Dentist

I graduated from the University of Sheffield in 2014 and have since worked in a variety of practices across the country, gaining experience treating a wide range of patients with differing needs. Throughout my career, I have completed numerous postgraduate courses to ensure I remain up to date with modern dentistry and best clinical practices. I provide IV sedation for patients who experience dental anxiety, allowing necessary treatment to be carried out comfortably and safely. I have also helped many patients with a strong gag reflex to receive the care they need through IV sedation. I have a special interest in oral surgery and regularly treat patients requiring wisdom tooth removal or more complex extractions, including badly broken teeth or retained roots that are causing pain. I particularly enjoy working with anxious and nervous patients, even when sedation is not required. All treatment is delivered at a pace the patient feels comfortable with, ensuring a calm and supportive experience.
