Dentures in Edinburgh: Dentures That Fit, Look Natural and Stay Put
Acrylic or cobalt chrome, partial or full: a dental laboratory builds each denture for your mouth, and we adjust it in Comely Bank until it's comfortable. If yours won't stay put, two implants can hold it steady.
Acrylic partials start at £770, cobalt chrome at £1,200 and full dentures at £920; an immediate denture is £495. Dental plan members pay 10% less.2
Which Denture?
That turns on how many teeth are gone, where they are and how discreet you want it.
Acrylic Partial Denture
One or more teeth set on a gum-coloured base. It's the fastest type to make, and we can add a tooth later if you lose another.
Cobalt Chrome Denture
Acrylic teeth on a fine cast-metal frame. Slimmer, stronger and steadier than all-acrylic, held by discreet clasps on your own teeth.
Full Denture
A complete set for the upper or lower jaw; you approve its shape and shade at a try-in, so it looks as your own teeth did.
Immediate Denture
Made in advance and fitted on extraction day, so you never go without teeth. We reline it once the gum settles.
Implant-Retained Denture
It clips onto two or more implants and stays still while you eat and speak. The fix for a lower denture that won't stay in.
Repairs, Relines, Additions
We can add a tooth to your current denture, or reline it at the chair once changing gums have loosened it.
Denture or Implants?
Each fills the gaps. Where they part ways is how secure they feel and what treatment involves.
How It Works
Examination
We look at which teeth are missing and which remain, your gum health and your bite. Please bring any denture you wear.
Impressions or Scan
We record your mouth for the laboratory and choose the colour and shape of the teeth together.
Try-in
With full and larger dentures, we set the teeth in wax first. You can judge the appearance, bite and speech, and ask for changes before it's completed.
Fitting and Adjustments
We fit and check the completed denture, then fine-tune it over the first few weeks while your mouth adapts.
Living with a New Denture
Expect a new denture to take a few weeks to bed in. Begin with soft food in small pieces, chew using both sides, and if your speech sounds different, read aloud for a few minutes each day; that soon passes. Early sore spots are common and take minutes to ease at an adjustment visit, so don't tolerate them.
Your gums reshape over time, most of all in the first year after extractions. That's why immediate dentures are relined, and why every denture works loose in the end. Relining it at the chair (£110) restores the fit, and if you lose another tooth we can add one (£99).
Because adult care at Comely Bank Dental is private, you have the full range of materials, tooth shapes and shades for any denture, cobalt chrome frames included. We agree the fee in writing before anything is made.
