Dentures In Preston
Here at The Waterside Dental Clinic, we have decades of experience in providing dentures in Preston. We use the most beautiful, natural teeth available to provide you with a wonderful smile.
What Are Dentures?
A denture (or plate as it is sometimes known) is a removable appliance, which is used to replace one or more missing teeth. There are many types of dentures including full, partial and implant-supported dentures, and there are also different types of materials used in their construction. With proper care and maintenance, the average lifespan of a denture is seven to 10 years.
Dentures can look beautiful, but their functionality is dependent upon a patient’s ability to adapt to it; this is not always easy and requires practice. That said, a denture is a relatively straightforward procedure and is cost-effective compared to fixed solutions.
What Are The Benefits Of Dentures?
Dentures offer a number of benefits, including:
- Improved chewing function.
- Improved speech function.
- Enhanced appearance.
- Better nutrition (due to improved chewing function).

What are the Drawbacks of Dentures?
Dentures also have their share of challenges - particularly traditional removable dentures. For example, many traditional denture wearers complain that their appliances move, wobble or slip out of place when they are speaking or chewing. In addition, your jawbone gradually shrinks following tooth loss, which can lead to loss of facial support and sunken-in cheeks.
What Are Some Alternatives To Dentures?
There are two main alternatives to dentures: dental implants and dental bridges.
Dental Implants:
Dental implants are the most common alternative to dentures, and are life changing. For more information, please see the section ‘Dental Implants’.
Dental Bridges:
Dental bridges are an effective fixed alternative if you still have several healthy teeth. Bridges generally work best for people with one to three missing teeth in a row. For more information, please see the section ‘Porcelain Crowns and Bridges’.
