Dentist Essex – Cosmetic Dentures 

If you have a missing tooth or missing teeth, you can have teeth replaced by partial cosmetic dentures.  Partial dentures are removable acrylic replacements of teeth. They can replace one or a few teeth.  

Dentist Essex – Types Of Cosmetic Denture 

There are two main types of cosmetic dentures available:

  • Acrylic (or plastic) dentures
  • Cobalt Chromium (or metal based) dentures – advised when at least some teeth are present

The cosmetic dentist will carefully select the ideal set up of teeth for your needs based on the shape of your face, your smile and shade requirements.  The quality and strength of plastics, the use of cobalt chromium, and the use of tooth coloured clips and many other variables affect the total cost of denture treatment.  The cosmetic dentist will carefully discuss with you and guide you to which denture will best suit your needs and budget before we commence treatment.                                                                                                                                    

Dentist Essex - What Type of Denture is Suitable for Me? 

The type of cosmetic denture that would be suitable for you depends on what you wish to achieve and how many teeth are missing.  If you are missing a few teeth then partial dentures are the best option.

Partial dentures can either be cobalt chrome or resin acrylic.

If you are missing all teeth then full dentures are best as they replace all teeth.  Full dentures are usually made of acrylic resin.  Full dentures can be supported by dental implants for maximum retention and stability.

Dentist Essex – Cost Of Cosmetic Dentures

The cost of cosmetic partial dentures will depend upon three things. 

  1. The type of cosmetic denture – cobalt chromium or acrylic
  2. The technician – the level of his training, ability and artistry
  3. The laboratory -  their experience in manufacturing partial cosmetic dentures that will actually match the rest of your teeth

Dentist Essex - How Long Do Cosmetic Dentures Last? 

A partial dentures life depends on the health of the teeth and gums supporting them.  On average partial dentures can give many years of life.  Full dentures on average may last you longer as they do not rely on the health of you teeth but more on gum health.
