Like everything if constantly used, they will experience wear and tear. With daily wear and regular maintenance, partial and full dentures should be replaced every 5-7 years.
There is no ‘right’ age to get dentures, and although they are often associated with older individuals, the truth is that anyone could be given dentures if they are missing one or more teeth.
Typically, most adults in the UK are between 40-49 when they get dentures, but again, if teeth need to be replaced, opting for a metal or acrylic denture, no matter what the age can help with speech and improve how you go about your day-to-day life.
This often comes down to personal preference, but many of our patients who have had acrylic dentures say they look and feel very natural. Thanks to the speedy nature of having acrylic dentures made and fitted, they are often a go-to option for many with missing teeth who want to quickly correct their smile with something that still looks good.
Although acrylic dentures are less durable compared to metal dentures, you should still be able to enjoy eating the foods you love. Whilst it’s normal with any type of denture to find it tricky to eat a full and balanced diet at first, you should find that once your new denture has settled, you can eat and drink like normal again. Of course, it’s always advised that you are careful with certain hard or sticky foods, and always clean your dentures afterwards to help maintain them.
Yes. This is particularly important for those patients who are older (as well as denture wearers in general) as there are much higher levels of bacteria present in the mouth. To help maintain your new smile and to get the most amount of years out of your acrylic dentures, it’s therefore vital that you soak them each night to ensure they are disinfected properly.
In most cases, anyone with good oral hygiene and sufficient bone levels can get dental implants.
However, there are several situations where another treatment option might be more effective.
For dental implants to be successful, it’s important that the density and volume of the bone are sufficient to support the implants, and that the surrounding teeth are in good condition.
Dental implants also aren’t a suitable option for those who:
Yes, we have a range of treatment options available which we use to support dentures.
Some people have difficulty wearing and keeping their dentures securely in place, resulting in a poor user experience.
Implants can resolve this problem providing incredible security and comfort. Both removable implant dentures and fixed dentures can also provide further security, and allow you to have confidence in your smile.
No, you will not feel any pain during the procedure, it will just be slightly uncomfortable. You may experience some swelling and possible bruising after the procedure, but this will pass quickly and does not happen to everyone.
You will look after your replacement teeth the same way you would your natural teeth.
Neglecting the cleaning of them can result in bad breath and a build-up of plaque and biofilm, leading to further problems later down the line.
You might find certain areas difficult to clean at first, but our dental hygienist will support you and provide all the aftercare advice you need to maintain healthy teeth.
Although dental implants might seem to come with a hefty price tag, the investment outweighs the cost in improving one’s quality of life, function, confidence, and appearance. At Revitalise we will only recommend dental implants if we feel they are the best treatment option.

The good thing about this type of fixed denture is that if well looked after, they can last for well over 15 years. This makes them an investment well worth making, especially if you’ve suffered from tooth loss.
Yes! This is one of the most popular benefits of opting for this type of fixed denture, especially for those patients who have grown tired of ill-fitting removable dentures. With fixed implant-retained dentures, you can be confident that your smile won’t budge, allowing you to eat, drink and socialise as you like.
Fixed implant-retained dentures use titanium implants to create an anchor in the jawbone. This means that they won’t shift or move when you’re going about your day-to-day life, and they also look just like your natural teeth thanks to careful colour matching.
Whilst the process of getting this type of fixed denture is an invasive one, you shouldn’t experience any pain during the procedure thanks to the anaesthetic. It’s normal to have some discomfort during the healing process, which can be treated with over-the-counter pain killers.
This healing pain should ease after a few weeks.
No. This is a common misconception, however dental veneers work to do the opposite. They can enhance the look of the natural tooth, whilst protecting any previous exposure, giving you the confidence to eat, socialise and smile like you deserve.
When you come to us for a dental crown, we will start by preparing the effected tooth, which will ensure that your crown fits snuggly and stays in place. We will then be able to take an impression of your teeth, allowing us to create a perfectly bespoke covering for the damaged tooth or teeth.
We can then create your crown, using the highest quality materials for an end result that lasts you for years to come. The four main types of dental crown include:
The end result will be a smile that feels comfortable and natural and looks and performs fantastically.
If your teeth are severely discoloured, you may find that whitening toothpastes aren’t effective enough. The good news is that our teeth whitening solutions can yield fantastic results, even if you suffer from very yellow teeth.
If your teeth are very discoloured, we might recommend Boutique Whitening, which is completely safe and incredibly effective.
Our tooth enamel is one of the strongest tissues in our bodies, but it can still be damaged by a number of everyday items and bad habits which can cause breaks and chips in our teeth’s structure. Also, teeth with decay beneath the service are more susceptible to breaks due to a weakened internal structure.
Let’s take a look at some of the most common source of chips and breaks:
Where this type of damage has occurred, Direct Resin Bonding can be incredibly effective, not only repairing damage but also improving the shape of the tooth in question.
