Natural Teeth
Replacements

Partial dentures, as the name suggests, are dentures used to bridge the gap between teeth in a part of the mouth. The method of attachment of the dentures to the existing teeth differs from denture to denture. The material of the denture also varies. You will be given a particular partial denture depending upon your personal needs and the dental hygiene of your mouth.

One method of fixation of the dentures is using clasps, which hook onto existing teeth on either side of the gap. These are usually not very well fitted and can loosen easily. The more precise and snug dentures are, the more they will cost. However, the better a denture fits in your mouth, the easier it is for you to go about your daily activities and the less you have to worry about the dentures falling out or shifting while you have them on. The bridge denture is a fixed partial denture, which uses the adjacent teeth to bridge the gap. The teeth on either side are ground slightly to make room for the crowns that will be fitted into them to hold the replacement teeth in the form. Partial dentures can be made with different materials, such as acrylic or metal. The metal dentures are much more durable, comfortable and natural looking than the acrylic denture.

When Will I Need a
Partial Denture?

Partial dentures are most often used when a tooth or a few teeth are missing. This can happen due to injury or tooth extraction caused by tooth decay or any other dental issue. It is essential that the gap created by the missing tooth be filled so as to prevent the other teeth from shifting around and loosening.

When a dentist extracts your teeth or tooth, they will discuss with you the various options available to cover the gap created. Once you have made a decision and chosen the specifics of your denture, the dentist will then take an impression of your gap and the surrounding teeth. This will be sent to the laboratory where a customized denture will be made within a few weeks.

Initially, the denture may seem uncomfortable and will be difficult to wear all the time. It is very important that you wear the denture as much as possible in the initial stages to ensure that no shifting occurs after the tooth removal. Once your teeth have become stable again, you can begin to wear the denture occasionally. By this time, you will have adapted to the change.

If after some time you are still experiencing pain or discomfort, visit your dentist as soon as you can. A simple adjustment to the denture is usually a sufficient fix. Speaking and eating may be a bit altered at the time, but it will not last for long.

Denture Hygiene

It is imperative to be cautious about the hygiene of your denture in the same way as you were about your normal oral hygiene. Daily cleaning of the denture is necessary. Denture specific cleansers are available and must be used to keep the dentures clean. Precautions should be taken to prevent the dentures from falling. Dentures can easily break and/or chip. Place a towel underneath the dentures when you are cleaning them and place them in a container when they are not in use. At night, put your dentures in water. It is necessary to keep them moist at all times.

The care I received was exemplary from my dentist Mo he made me feel completely relaxed and exxplained the procedure every step of the way I would most definitely use Dorridge again for any root canal work.

As a nervous patient I can highly recommend this dentist. Jaz is very professional as well as being understanding and nothing is too much trouble.
All Staff are most friendly x

I want to say a huge thank you to: Jaz, Faresh & all the staff that took care of me throughout my treatment.
I never used to smile and show my teeth on photos.
I can now smile with confidence, as my smile has been returned.
Anyone who is considering undergoing dental treatment should definitely speak with Ascent Dental first.
As they listen to what you are trying to achieve, and make you feel safe, reassured and satisfied.
Thanks guys

I honestly think this dentist is amazing everybody is so friendly and they are quick to get your treatment sorted after your initial consultation. I had braces fitted upper and lower and they were done so quickly they obviously know what they’re doing!! I love my braces and I’m so glad I went with ascent. I just wish I had done it years ago! My husband is having treatment also. Thanks guys!! Keep up the good work!!

Started going to ascent dental care last March 2021 with the fear of having any dental work, I have always been so self conscious of my teeth from young but just lost confidence in any dentist that saw me.
Safe to say I met Jas who has filled me with confidence and put me at ease, knowing what I wanted to achieve set me up with the perfect plan, I quit smoking to achieve healthier teeth with the advice from jas and I am now towards the end of the treatment, and am so pleased with the end results!! the staff are so welcoming and the professionalism and work within is by far worth any price on the treatment you receive!
Thanks team! Amazing work!!

Put off visiting a dentist for some years and need a host of work undertaking. Laura and her assistant Georgie were great. Very professional and compassionate about relieving my anxiety about visiting a dentist. A friendly vibe throughout all the staff creates a relaxed atmosphere I’d reccomend to anyone.

Gabrielle Pond-Baker

I’ve had a few visits over the last few years for specific work. Everyone is very kind and courteous. I have always had each stage of treatment explained at the start so there were never any nasty surprises. I would happily recommend Ascent it is a caring practice.

Linda Wadley

As someone who has a dreadful fear of the dentist chair, I would like to thank both Laura for sorting out my emergency tooth problem and Jaz for his kindness and for his approach to my fears. Thank you all for your professionalism and most of all your kindness to someone who has a huge fear of dentists

Hannah Beahan

As someone with an extreme fear of everything dental, I can’t recommend Ascent enough. All of the staff are the most knowledgeable, loveliest, most patient people. The service is amazing and the fees are really reasonable. After 20 years of dentist hopping and emergency treatment, I finally feel I am on the road to overcoming my fears. Actually excited for the next part of my dental plan!

I had a great experience with Yasmin being my Dentist at Ascent. She reassured me every step of the way throughout my journey. I had my teeth whitened, a new crown fitted and some composite bonding. I was so happy with the final result. Thankyou! 🤍 …
