Types of Dentures Available at B Dental
B Dental offers full, partial, immediate, and implant-retained options to suit a range of needs.
Full (Complete) Dentures
Full dentures replace all teeth in an upper or lower arch. They suit patients who have lost every tooth in that arch. Conventional full versions are made after remaining teeth are removed and the gum tissue has healed, which can take several months. Immediate full dental prostheses are placed on the same day as extraction, so you are never left without teeth during the healing period. Because the gums and jaw change shape as they heal, immediate options may need relining or remaking later.
Partial Dentures
Partial appliances fill the gaps left by missing teeth when some natural teeth remain. They typically anchor to surrounding teeth with clasps or precision attachments, helping to keep the appliance stable. Leaving gaps untreated can allow neighbouring teeth to shift, so this type of restoration may also help protect the alignment of your remaining teeth.
Immediate Dentures
An immediate denture is placed the same day your teeth are extracted. This means you leave the clinic with teeth and can manage daily life while you heal. Because your jaw and gum tissue continue to change in the months after extraction, an immediate fit will likely need an adjustment or reline once healing is complete. B Dental includes follow-up appointments, so this process is well supported.
What to Expect From Your Treatment
Getting fitted at B Dental is a clear, step-by-step process designed to keep you comfortable and informed.
- Initial consultation and impressions: Your dentist examines your mouth, discusses your options, and takes impressions so your appliance can be custom-made to your jaw.
- Fitting appointment: Your new prosthesis is placed and checked for fit, bite, and comfort before you leave the clinic.
- Adjustment appointments: Minor soreness or looseness in the early weeks is normal. B Dental includes follow-up adjustment appointments to refine the fit as your mouth settles.
- Ongoing care advice: You will receive guidance on cleaning your appliance daily and keeping your gum tissue healthy.
- Long-term review: Fit can change over time as the jaw naturally changes shape, so periodic check-ins help maintain comfort and function.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dentures
How Long Does It Take to Adjust to a New Appliance?
Most patients adjust within a few weeks, though the timeline varies. In the early period it is common to notice increased saliva flow, minor soreness, or a loose feeling as the muscles in your cheeks and tongue adapt. B Dental schedules follow-up appointments to adjust and reduce any discomfort during this period.
How Do I Look After My Appliance?
Remove it at night and store it in water to prevent warping. Brush the surfaces gently each day with a soft brush and a non-abrasive cleanser. Also brush your gums, tongue, and the roof of your mouth each morning before putting your appliance in. Good hygiene for the soft tissues matters as much as cleaning the prosthetic itself.
How Long Does an Appliance Last?
A well-maintained prosthetic can last many years, though most may need relining, rebasing, or replacing over time as the shape of the jaw gradually changes. Immediate options often require earlier relining due to the healing changes that follow extraction. Regular check-ups help your dentist assess the fit and advise you before problems develop with your dentures.
What Should I Do If My Appliance Feels Loose or Uncomfortable?
Contact B Dental promptly if your appliance feels loose, rubs, or causes persistent soreness. A loose fit can irritate gum tissue and make eating difficult. The issue can often be corrected with a reline or adjustment rather than full replacement, but this is best assessed in person. Do not attempt to adjust the appliance at home, as this may cause further damage.
How Much Does Treatment Cost?
Costs depend on the type of appliance, the complexity of your treatment, and the materials involved. Full and partial treatments differ in price, and immediate options may involve additional relining appointments. Contact B Dental for a personalised quote based on your individual needs.
