Below are some FAQ’s on the commonly asked questions.
We provide full dentures Highlands
Full dentures are a removable tooth replacement option for when you have no natural teeth remaining, which means that they are not permanently fixed in your mouth. You will need to remove them when you sleep and to clean them. As they are not fixed in place, you will always get some movement. This also depends upon how much bone you have – a general rule of thumb is that the more bone you have, the better the dentures stay in.

Aviemore,
Edinburgh &
GlasgowHow long do full dentures take to make?
Complete dentures normally take four to six weeks to make. If you are in a rush, we can speed up the process.
What’s the fastest you can make a set of complete dentures?
We will always do our best to accommodate your needs and if everything is booked in advance. The speed often depends upon your individual situation, whether you have a current set of dentures, and our availability. Normally 5 appointments are required a week apart.
Will I need to use fixative? How will I know how good the dentures will be?
Everyone’s mouth is different and some people have a very good bony ridge that the dentures can sit on, whereas others have a very resorbed (shrunk) ridge. The more bone you have, the better the dentures will stay in.
In addition to your bone, other factors also make a difference:
- The muscular tone of your cheeks
- Your salivary consistency
- Not just the amount of bone, but where it is and its shape
- The shape of your palate
- If you have any undercuts in the bone
- Where your muscles attachments are
- The thickness of the gums
- The mobility and flabbiness of the gums
- How deep the ridge is
- The shape of your soft palate
Another thing we do during complete denture consultations is look at your current dentures to see how much of an improvement we can make. These are some of the things we look at:
- Your bite
- The fit
- How well into covers the bone and what parts of the bone it covers
- The cosmetics

How long will the dentures last?
Seven years is a good time for dentures to last; after that, they begin to show signs of wear and tear, although the top range dentures we produce can easily last 10 years plus. There are always exceptions with patient factors to consider,some patients can be extremely hard on their dentures. Some patients can keep their dentures for much longer if they are wearing well, even going on to keep them beyond 15 years.
What happens if I lose weight or my mouth changes?
Losing weight does not normally affect the fit of dentures ; however, if you have a lot of weight loss and your mouth changes, we can do something called relining.
