Replacing what is missing

Removable appliances that replace missing teeth — partial, full, or anchored to implants.

Dentures and partial dentures are removable appliances that replace missing teeth, restoring your smile and improving oral function.

Which option is right depends on how many teeth are missing, the condition of the teeth and bone that remain, and what you want day to day. We will set out the choices at your consultation.

Your options

Ways to replace missing teeth

  • Partial dentures

    For patients who still have some healthy natural teeth. A partial fills the gaps and is supported by the teeth that remain.

  • Full dentures

    For patients who have lost all the teeth in an arch. A full denture replaces the whole upper or lower set.

  • Implant-supported dentures

    A denture anchored to dental implants rather than resting on the gums — considerably more stable, and it helps preserve the jawbone.

  • Fixed alternatives

    Where a removable appliance is not what you want, All-on-4 and All-on-X provide a fixed full arch supported by implants.
