Dentures in Silverdale
At Prestige Dental in Silverdale, dentures provide a practical and effective way to replace missing teeth and restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
While dental implants are often the preferred long-term option, dentures remain a suitable solution when implants are not ideal due to medical conditions, bone support, or personal preference.
We focus on helping you choose the option that best balances comfort, function, and long-term oral health.
We provide dentures for patients across Silverdale and nearby areas including Orewa, Milldale, Millwater and Red Beach.
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are removable appliances used to replace missing teeth.
They can be designed to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or a full arch.
Partial dentures replace some missing teeth while retaining your remaining natural teeth.
Full dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw.
Types of Dentures
Different types of dentures are available depending on your needs:
Acrylic dentures
Lightweight and easier to adjust, supported mainly by the gums
Metal-acrylic dentures
Stronger and supported by remaining teeth, offering improved stability
Full dentures
Used when all teeth are missing, restoring appearance and basic function
Each option has its advantages, and we will guide you in choosing what is most suitable for your oral health and lifestyle.
What to Expect with Dentures
Dentures restore appearance and help improve speech, but they do require some adjustment.
Chewing efficiency is generally lower than natural teeth, particularly with lower dentures. Over time, as your jawbone and gums change, dentures may require adjustments or relining to maintain comfort and fit.
With proper care and regular dental visits, dentures can provide a reliable and functional solution.
Implant-Supported Dentures
For improved stability and comfort, dentures can be supported by dental implants.
Implant-supported dentures offer:
Better retention and reduced movement
Improved chewing function
Increased comfort and confidence
This option combines the affordability of dentures with the stability of implants and may be recommended in suitable cases.
