People lose teeth for all sorts of reasons including illness, an accident… or simply because of the ageing process.
The loss of one or two teeth can gradually lead to the loss of other surrounding teeth which, if left untreated, can lead to permanent changes in facial appearance.
At Holly Dental Practice, we are fortunate to have a very close working relationship with our local denture clinician Gordon Brook.
As a result we are kept up to date with all the newest materials and techniques, as well as having someone on hand to add his experience and knowledge to even the most difficult of cases.
As a denture clinician, rather than technician, Gordon has further qualifications that enable him to complete each stage of the fabrication of dentures, or to work alongside our dentists in more aesthetically demanding cases.
Advanced Modern Dentistry
At Holly Dental Practice, we offer a variety of dentures to replace one or more teeth, up to a complete new set of teeth. There are essentially two types of dentures:
Full Dentures
Full dentures are more commonly constructed entirely of acrylic.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are constructed of acrylic bonded to a chrome framework.
Holly Dental offers a personalised approach depending on the needs of the patient, along with more modern but less common materials such as Valplast.
We are Preston’s premier private dental surgery, serving patients across the county of Lancashire and beyond.

QUESTIONS?
Dentures are the most cost-effective solution to missing teeth and will enable you to eat and speak with confidence.
Dentures are custom made in a dental lab, using your dental impressions to get the exact fit. A trial denture is usually made to check the fit before the final, permanent version is made.
A partial denture fills the gap left behind by one or more missing teeth, and clips to your existing teeth. It can be easily unclipped and removed for cleaning. A full or complete denture is used when all the upper or lower teeth are missing and fits snugly over your gums. It must be removed daily for cleaning.
Dentures can feel strange to begin with, but most patients grow accustomed to them very quickly. As well as getting used to wearing them, you’ll also need to start a strict routine for cleaning them every morning and night; neglected dentures can cause a number of dental problems, from bad breath and oral thrush to gum disease and tooth decay.
We look forward to helping you achieve the best possible comfort and confidence with your dentures.
