What are natural dentures?


Natural dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth, designed to look and feel as close to natural teeth as possible. Modern dentures are a long way from the awkward, obvious dentures of decades ago - they're carefully crafted to suit your face, your gum line and your bite, so they sit comfortably and look believable when you smile, speak and eat.

There are several types to choose from, depending on your situation. A full denture replaces all the teeth in one or both jaws. A partial denture fills in the gaps left by some missing teeth, and clips around your remaining natural ones. Chrome dentures use a slim metal framework for added strength and a thinner, less bulky feel. And implant-supported dentures combine the comfort of dentures with the stability of dental implants - perfect if you're tired of dentures that move.

For our patients in Bedford and Bedfordshire who'd prefer a non-surgical option for replacing missing teeth, dentures remain a reliable, well-proven solution.

Your denture journey at Teamcare

Initial consultation and assessment

We start with a relaxed conversation about your goals, the type of denture that might suit you and any concerns you have.

01

Impressions and digital scans

Using our on-site iTero scanner and traditional impressions where needed, we capture the exact shape of your mouth.

02

Treatment plan and quote

We talk through the type of denture being made, costs, finance options and the timeline - clearly and without pressure.

03

Try-in fitting

You'll come in for a try-in stage so we can check the fit, look and bite before the dentures are finalised.

04

Final fitting and adjustments

Your finished dentures are fitted, adjusted carefully for comfort and you'll leave with clear care instructions.

05

Aftercare and follow-ups

We'll see you again to check everything is settling well and make any small adjustments needed.

Are natural dentures the right option for me?


Dentures are a good fit if you have several or all of your teeth missing, you'd prefer a non-surgical option, or you're looking for a more affordable starting point than implants. They're also worth considering if you've worn dentures before and want to upgrade to a more modern, better-fitting set.

If you find your current dentures slip when you eat or speak, it's worth knowing about implant-supported options. Even just a few dental implants can transform how secure a denture feels - many of our Bedford patients say it's like having their bite back.

We'll always recommend the option that suits your needs honestly. If implants would be a better long-term solution, we'll say so - and if a well-made traditional denture is the right fit, we'll say that too.

How much do dentures cost in Bedford?

I have always been extremely nervous about dentists to the point I stopped going for years. I finally built up the courage and had my first consultation today with Jai, he instantly made me feel at ease, he was very easy to talk to and answered all my questions. Really happy with the service I received today.

The Teamcare dental team have always been first class and I've been with them for 50 years. I unfortunately had to have an extraction which was performed brilliantly. I never really felt a thing. I was a bit nervous as I've not had a tooth out for 40 years, but I didn't need to worry, it was cool. Aftercare was fantastic from everyone on duty that day (enough said). Thank you so much

Frequently asked questions about dentures in Bedford

How long do dentures last?

Most well-made dentures last between 5 and 10 years, sometimes longer with proper care. Your mouth changes shape over time, so they may need relining or replacing eventually - regular check-ups help us spot when it's time.

Will my dentures look natural?

Yes. Modern dentures are designed to match the colour, shape and translucency of natural teeth and gums - and we'll work with you on the look you want before they're finalised.

Are dentures uncomfortable to wear?

There's usually a short adjustment period of a few weeks while your mouth gets used to wearing them. Most patients find that any initial soreness or unfamiliarity settles quickly, especially with the small adjustments we include in your aftercare.

How long does it take to get used to dentures?

Most people feel comfortable with new dentures within a few weeks. Speech and eating tend to settle in quickly, though tougher foods may take a little practice. We're always happy to make tweaks if anything doesn't feel right.

Can I eat normally with dentures?

Yes, though it's worth easing in - start with softer foods and work up to firmer ones. If your dentures move when you eat, implant-supported dentures can make a significant difference. Worth asking us about at your appointment.

How do I clean my dentures?

Brush them daily with a soft denture brush and a non-abrasive cleaner, soak them overnight in a denture solution, and rinse thoroughly before putting them back in. Keep going to your hygiene visits too - even denture wearers benefit from professional cleans.

Can dentures be made more secure?

Yes - implant-supported dentures clip onto a small number of dental implants for a much more stable fit. Many patients who've struggled with loose dentures find this the answer they've been looking for.

Can I get dentures on the same day I have teeth removed?

In some cases yes - these are called immediate dentures and they're fitted on the day of extraction, so you don't have to go without teeth. Your gums will change shape as they heal, so the dentures will usually need adjusting or replacing later. We'll talk you through whether immediate dentures are right for you.
