Partial dentures, made from false gum and false teeth, are specially designed to fit around your remaining natural teeth, providing a removable solution to partial tooth loss.
You’ll be a good candidate for partial dentures if:
Your first appointment will involve a thorough assessment with specialist denture clinician Dr Keyhani. We’ll inspect your soft and hard tissues, review your medical history, and outline your available treatment options.
If you’re serious about dentures, this will also be our opportunity to take primary impressions, allowing us to begin making your custom-fitted trays.
Consultations with Dr Keyhani cost £95 and offer exceptional value for patients seeking expertly designed and fitted partial dentures.
As a specialist, Dr Keyhani has advanced training in tooth restoration and denture placement, ensuring optimal fit, comfort and functionality.
The most cost-effective tooth replacement option is made from durable and flexible acrylic, making it ideal for short- to medium-term use. These dentures are made from plastic and utilise clasps that hook onto existing teeth, allowing them to be removed for cleaning and sleeping.
Cobalt chrome dentures are made from a lightweight metal framework that is stronger and more durable than acrylic, but may be slightly more visible. Offering a more secure fit and greater comfort, they offer patients better stability over time.
Flexible dentures are crafted from soft, flexible materials that adapt to your mouth, providing a more discreet, comfortable, and natural appearance. They are recommended in cases where patients have sensitive gums or irregular bone structure, as they can tolerate this type better.

If you would like further advice or information about the different types of dentures available, contact us by phone or visit our clinic in Burgess Hill, Sussex.
If you would like to spread the cost of your partial dentures with interest-free payments, it’s possible at our clinic in Burgess Hill.
For example, if you have 1-3 missing teeth and want to use an acrylic partial denture, you can divide the £550 total cost into 12 manageable instalments, which means you can pay from £54.16 per month for your treatment.
While we understand that you might prefer to sleep with your partial denture in, it’s typically recommended that you remove it overnight to allow your gums essential time to rest.
Removing the denture at night allows your gums time to breathe and recover, thereby reducing the risk of bacterial buildup, gum inflammation, and other oral health issues.
To replace one or more missing teeth, patients can explore options such as dental bridges or dental implants.
These not only replace the gap but also the tooth root, keeping the jawbone stimulated and preventing bone loss and further tooth loss.
Partial dentures are custom-made and fitted over a period of six weeks, with up to six separate appointments.
Between each appointment, our prosthodontist will work on your dentures in the lab to make the necessary adjustments to achieve the perfect fit. From this, you’ll get to try the denture and see how it functions, feels and looks, and if you’re happy, you’ll be ready to go.
A few weeks later, we’ll invite you back to monitor your progress and assess how you’re adjusting, in case we need to make any final adjustments to help the denture sit and settle more comfortably in the gum tissue.
You can eat with partial dentures, but like any new experience, practice makes perfect.
Wearing dentures requires a significant amount of neuromuscular control, and it takes considerable perseverance to learn how to eat with your new dentures.
Initially, we advise starting with a softer diet and cutting food into smaller pieces. We also recommend avoiding sticky and hard foods. As you grow your confidence, you can begin to expand your dietary options.
