Complete dentures can either be conventional or immediate. Conventional dentures are made after the teeth have been removed and the gum tissue has healed. Immediate dentures are made in advance and can be placed immediately after the teeth are removed.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are used to replace one or more missing teeth. They can be made of acrylic or metal and are attached to the remaining natural teeth with metal clasps.
Partial dentures can help prevent the remaining natural teeth from shifting or moving.

The first step in getting dentures is to consult with a dentist. The dentist will examine your mouth and determine the best type of denture for your needs.
02
Impressions
After the consultation, the dentist will take impressions of your mouth. This involves making a mould of your mouth using a special dental putty.
03
Fitting
Once the mold is made, the dentures are created to fit your mouth. The dentist will adjust the fit as necessary to ensure comfort and proper function.
04
Placement
After the dentures are made, they are placed in the mouth. The fit will be checked and the denture will be adjusted if needed. The dentist will provide instructions on how to care for the dentures and adjust to wearing them.
Tips for Maintaining Dentures:
Clean the Dentures Daily Dentures should be cleaned daily to remove food particles and prevent stains. Use a soft-bristled brush and a non-abrasive denture cleaner.
Soak the Dentures Dentures should be soaked in water or a denture cleaner when they are not being worn to prevent them from drying out and warping.
Avoid Hot Water Dentures should not be placed in hot water as this can cause them to warp.

The patient presented to our practice over a year ago following the loss of a premolar due to infection, resulting in significant bone loss in the affected area. His primary objective was to restore the space where the tooth was lost.
Given the extent of the bone loss, we initiated a ridge augmentation procedure utilising Dentsply Ossix bone and Ossix Volumax materials. During the healing phase, the patient expressed interest in not only restoring the space but also enhancing the aesthetics of his smile through alignment and whitening.
To address these concerns, we implemented Invisalign clear braces for orthodontic alignment. Following the successful completion of the orthodontic treatment, we proceeded with implant placement, which was facilitated by the previously achieved ridge augmentation.
Subsequently, we employed Enlighten tooth whitening, which significantly enhanced the overall appearance of his smile. We concluded the smile makeover with composite edge bonding to refine the alignment and an Atlantis/Emax implant restoration, ensuring it matched the natural teeth seamlessly.
The results have been remarkable, and the patient is now unable to stop smiling! 🤩
Have you had composite bonding and wondering how you keep them white? 🪄
Dr Ronette gives her top tips, however regular professional cleaning at your dental practice can help in removing surface stains, thereby prevent discolouration.
The best advice to keep your teeth and mouth healthy 🙌🏼 Brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing at least once a day is important because it helps prevent plaque buildup, which can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues.
Guys, remember if you do have any questions about how to keep your teeth and gums healthy at home, simply drop us a DM 📲 or comment below 👇🏼
The patient presented with older crowns exhibiting poor margins, expressing dissatisfaction with the aesthetic appearance of her smile, particularly due to the upward inclination of the teeth on the left side. Additionally, the teeth exhibited significant discoloration, and she sought to improve their overall shade.
After thorough consultation, we decided to initiate treatment with Invisalign clear aligners to achieve proper alignment of the teeth. This was subsequently followed by the Enlighten teeth whitening system, resulting in a noticeable improvement in colour compared to the previous crowns.
Once the new shade stabilised, we replaced the old crowns with Emax crowns that matched the improved colour. Additionally, the left side of her smile was refined using a composite bonding technique to enhance the shape of the teeth.
The results of this comprehensive treatment were remarkable, and the patient was extremely pleased with her new smile.

I have a tremendous amount of trust and confidence in Johan and his team at Ramsbottom Dental Care.... About two years ago a front tooth broke and I have had an implant fitted.
