Dentures in McKennell Dental Practice
Replace teeth in a modern way!
Dentures—an Overview
For years, people have used dentures to replace missing teeth, and they have proven their durability. These removable tooth replacements were once thought to be bulky, wobbly, and artificial in appearance—but not anymore. Modern dentures have defied convention, transforming into sleek, durable, and aesthetically pleasing tooth replacements. Dentures in McKennell Dental Practice are tailor-made and let you enjoy your favourite foods whilst complementing your face, appearance, and personality.
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are custom-made, removable tooth replacements designed to restore both function and appearance. They consist of a supportive base that sits comfortably on the gums and palate, holding the prosthetic teeth in place. Depending on your needs, the denture base can be crafted from durable acrylic, a blend of acrylic and cobalt chromium, or flexible partial dentures with lightweight materials like nylon-based resins for a more natural feel. We strive to give you the best dentures in McKennell Dental Practice by ensuring optimal outcomes, both functionally and aesthetically.
Types of Dentures
- Full Dentures: Also called complete dentures for patients who have lost all of their teeth in one or both jaws.
- Partial dentures are intended to replace a few missing teeth and are supported by natural teeth.
- Acrylic Dentures: The standard pink dentures—easy to fit, cheap, lightweight, and designed to look just like natural gums.
- Metal-Framed Dentures: Acrylic dentures could feature strong, durable metal frames made of cobalt-chromium metal for added support.
- Implant-Supported Dentures: Sometimes known as overdentures, implant-supported dentures are full dentures supported by dental implants. They feel practically like genuine teeth, are more stable, and call for less frequent cleaning.
Who Can Get Dentures?
Dentures are suitable for those with:
- Complete teeth loss.
- One or more teeth are missing.
- Perfect for people seeking a less costly, removable tooth replacement alternative than dental implants or bridges.
- Dentures for seniors: They are for the elderly who cannot attend multiple dental appointments or surgical procedures.
We regularly provide denture treatments to patients from Victoria, Pimlico, and Westminster.

What Our Patients Say
I was anxious about the removal of a molar with old root canal treatment but I need not have worried. Dr Lucie Savatier and her assistant were brilliant and so kind. I was concerned when the practice changed ownership but I am more than happy with the very high standard of care by Dr Lucie. Many thanks.
Ask for Dr Shima, the professional, gentle and kind dentist who restored my teeth. I am so grateful that I found you; can’t thank you enough.
