Custom-Made Dentures for Patients in South-East London
At Gallions Reach Dental Clinic, we offer custom-made partial dentures to replace multiple missing teeth and restore your smile with comfort and ease. Designed to be removable, partial dentures are a flexible and cost-effective solution that can fill gaps on one or both sides of your mouth. We carefully construct each denture by attaching natural-looking replacement teeth to a moulded plate – usually made of pink acrylic to resemble your gums. This plate is then securely connected to your remaining teeth using a discreet metal framework with clasps or precision attachments, allowing for easier adjustments and repairs compared to fixed bridges.

Dental implants or dentures?
While partial dentures offer a flexible and cost-effective option, many patients find dental implants provide the most durable and natural-feeling long-term solution. Implants are securely anchored into the jawbone, mimicking the function of natural tooth roots and helping to preserve bone density – something dentures alone cannot achieve.
Why many patients prefer implants:
- Superior stability – No movement or slipping during meals or speech.
- Bone preservation – Prevents jawbone deterioration caused by tooth loss.
- No impact on adjacent teeth – Unlike bridges or dentures, implants don’t rely on surrounding teeth for support.
- Long-term value – Though they may have a higher initial cost, implants can last decades with proper care, often requiring less ongoing maintenance.
At Gallions Reach, we’re happy to discuss all available tooth replacement options, including implants, to help you make an informed choice based on your lifestyle, goals, and oral health.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the process of getting dentures take?
It usually takes a few weeks, depending on your individual needs. After your initial consultation and impressions, you will need 2 to 3 appointments to complete the fitting. This allows time for creating the custom denture, making any necessary adjustments, and ensuring a comfortable, secure fit before you take it home. If extractions or other treatments are needed beforehand, the overall timeline may be slightly longer.
How easy is it to eat and speak with dentures?
Most patients adapt quickly to eating and speaking with partial dentures. While it may feel a little different at first, with a bit of practice, everyday activities like chewing and talking soon feel natural. The denture is designed to fit comfortably and stay securely in place, helping you enjoy meals and speak clearly with confidence. If any issues arise, we’re here to make adjustments to ensure the best fit and function.
What’s involved in maintaining them?
Maintaining partial dentures is simple and helps keep them in good condition for years. They should be removed daily for cleaning using a soft brush and non-abrasive denture cleaner—never toothpaste, as it can cause scratching. It’s also important to rinse them after meals and soak them overnight in a denture solution to keep them fresh. Regular dental check-ups are essential to monitor the fit and health of your remaining teeth and gums, and we’ll happily make any adjustments if your denture starts to feel loose or uncomfortable.
Are dental implants a better option than dentures?
It depends on your individual needs and oral health. Implants offer unmatched stability, preserve bone structure, and function like natural teeth, making them the preferred long-term solution for many patients. However, they may not be suitable for everyone due to bone density, health conditions, or cost considerations. During your consultation, we’ll explain all your options, including implants, to help you choose what’s right for you.
