What Full Mouth Dentures Can Do for You
Full mouth dentures, also known as complete dentures, replace an entire arch of missing teeth. They rest securely on the gums and are designed to mimic the look and function of natural teeth. For many patients in Thornbury and South Gloucestershire, they offer a dependable long term solution for comfort, confidence and daily function.

- Restores chewing and speaking ability

Types of Full Mouth Dentures Available
Every smile is different, which is why we offer a range of complete denture options, each designed for comfort and stability.
A fully custom solution placed once your gums have healed, creating a secure fit through natural suction.
Placed immediately after tooth extraction so you never go without teeth during healing. These are later replaced with your long term dentures.
Mentioned briefly as an option for patients who require enhanced stability. Further details are available on our Dental Implants & Surgical Dentistry page.
Your Full Denture Journey
Your comfort and confidence guide every stage of treatment. We take time to understand your goals, discuss your preferred tooth shape and shade, and ensure your new dentures feel right for your everyday needs.
Step 1: Consultation and Planning
We examine your oral health, discuss your goals and determine whether conventional or immediate dentures suit you best. If extractions are needed, associated care is planned through our team.
Step 2: Precise Impressions and Bite Registration
Accurate measurements are taken to map your bite and ensure your dentures sit comfortably and securely.
Step 3: Smile Try In
A wax model is created so you can review the appearance, shape and alignment before your final dentures are made.
Step 4: Final Fit
Your bespoke dentures are placed, refined and adjusted to ensure optimal comfort and natural function.
Step 5: Aftercare and Support
As gums settle, small adjustments may be needed. We support you at every stage and offer guidance on denture care, hygiene and maintenance.
For patients who experience dental anxiety, our Nervous Patients page explains how we support a calmer, more comfortable experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do full mouth dentures stay in place?
They rest on your gums and achieve stability through natural suction. Adhesives may help during the initial adjustment period.
Will my dentures look natural?
Yes. Your dentures are fully customised in shape, shade and design to complement your features and achieve a natural appearance.
How long does it take to get full dentures?
The full process takes several appointments over a number of weeks. Immediate dentures are available if extractions are planned.
Do I need implants for secure full dentures?
Not necessarily. Many patients achieve stability with traditional dentures. Implant stabilisation is an optional enhanced solution discussed during consultation.
How do I care for my dentures?
Clean them daily with a soft brush and non abrasive denture products, and store them in water when not worn. We will provide full aftercare guidance.
Will dentures affect how I eat and speak?
There may be a short adjustment period as you get used to eating and speaking with your new dentures. Most patients adapt within a few weeks, and we provide guidance to help you feel confident and comfortable as quickly as possible.

Ellis CochlinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend Thornbury Dental enough! I had my teeth done with Dr Lily and Daisy, and they were absolutely incredible. From the moment I walked in, they were so kind, gentle, and patient, which made the whole experience feel calm and reassuring. I actually had a consultation before flying out to America, and Dr Lily went out of her way to make sure she could fit me in for treatment before I left. That level of care and effort meant so much and really shows how dedicated she is to her patients. The results are honestly beyond anything I imagined — my teeth look amazing and I genuinely can’t stop staring at them! I even flew back from America just to see Dr Lily, and I’m SO happy I did. She is truly the best of the best at what she does.
