Contrary to what a lot of people think, dentures are not made in batches of different sizes like shoes, nor are they on a shelf waiting to have teeth added or removed depending on the patients requirements. In fact, each denture is custom made to fit the individual patients mouth.

As well as every denture having a unique fit to a patients mouth, there is also many different shades, sizes and shapes of teeth, so that the denture can match the patients existing teeth.

The position of each tooth is designed to have a special correlation based of the size of the mouth and existing teeth to ensure that the wearer is able to bite and chew food as well as speak clearly.

The range of material used for dentures can also vary depending on practicality and the patients budget. This range includes standard acrylic, high impact acrylic, chrome and the latest polyamide flexible material.

Furthermore, the gum work on the denture can also be customised to have either a realistic or a smooth finish.
