If you’re missing one or more teeth, dentures offer a reliable way to restore your smile, improve function, and make everyday things like eating and speaking feel more comfortable again

At Optima Dental Care in Maidenhead, we provide dentures that are carefully designed to fit well, feel secure, and look natural.

How dentures work

Dentures are designed to replace missing teeth in a way that restores both function and appearance. They can be used to replace:

  • A small number of teeth (partial dentures).
  • A full set of teeth (full dentures).

Each denture is custom-made to fit your mouth, helping you eat, speak, and feel more comfortable day to day.

What to expect from treatment

Denture treatment usually takes place over several appointments.

Step 1: Assessment and planning
We assess your mouth and discuss the most suitable type of denture for you.

Step 2: Impressions
Detailed impressions are taken to ensure your denture fits comfortably and securely.

Step 3: Fitting
Your denture is fitted and adjusted to improve comfort, function, and appearance.

Step 4: Follow-up adjustments
It’s normal to need small adjustments as your mouth adapts. We’ll support you through this process.

Optima Dental Care

Designed for comfort and function

A well-made denture should feel stable and allow you to speak and eat with confidence. We take care to ensure:

  • A comfortable, secure fit.
  • Balanced bite where possible.
  • A natural appearance that suits your face.

Over time, your mouth can change shape, so occasional adjustments or relines may be needed.

Dentures and long-term options

Dentures are often a starting point. Some patients later choose to:

  • Upgrade to implant-retained dentures for improved stability.
  • Replace dentures with dental implants for a fixed solution.

We’ll always explain your options clearly so you can make a decision that works for you now and in the future.

A clear starting point

If you’re considering dentures or have been advised you may need them, a simple check-up is the best place to begin.

We offer private examinations from £30, which may include X-rays where clinically needed, giving you a clear understanding of:

  • Whether dentures are suitable.
  • Whether any teeth need to be removed first.
  • What alternatives may be available?
  • The likely cost and timeline.

Treatment testimonials

Mrs Angela Haigh

"I want to say what a pleasure it is to visit the team. My dentist Dr Chawla is he best.

Jennifer Trillow, Maidenhead

"Optima has been my dentist for over 10 years. Always pleased with the treatment from both NHS and private. My dentist (Aparna) is lovely and always gives good advice, and I’m completely at ease with her. The staff are warm and welcoming. I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else for treatment!

Elaine Lewis

"My family and I have been attending the Optima Dental Practice for about 15 years. We have always found everyone who works there very caring, friendly and above all, professional. We always feel we can trust and rely on the treatment we receive there.

K J Syms

"As one of the many people that hated going to the dentist, all that changed after I discovered Optima Dental Care. In fact, I look forward to my visit to see the dentist. They are very professional and kind. I have known Dr Mohan Chawla for over 10 years and hope to go on for many more.

Jo Dimmock

"Dear Mohan I would like it known how happy I am with all treatments received. Yourself, and all the staff are amazing and as a fairly nervous patient I’m always made to feel at ease, and everything is explained thoroughly and the standard of care is second to none for myself and my son. The surgery is extremely clean and welcoming. 100% highly recommended.

Paul Vincent

"Wanted to say thank you for the care I received throughout the process of having my implant completed. I was talked through the process in detail before starting. At each stage I felt comfortable that I knew what was happening. The end result is exactly what I was promised. Thank you.

Hazel, Ashtead

"I am very happy with all the dental work that Dr Mohan Chawla has carried out for me since I became a patient at his practice nine years ago. Then last year, 2018, he performed what I call ‘a little magic dentistry on three of my truly ugly, filled front teeth, turning them into splendidly normal-looking teeth. Making smiling a joy for the first time in decades.

Ken Hudson, Epsom

"Dear Dr Chawla, I thank you for your reminder about dental appointments, but I doubt if I shall be requiring one for a few years yet to come! The new set of dentures fit perfectly with no sores, ulcers or the like to date, and for which I must compliment your workmanship and recommend to others. Wishing you every success in the future.

David Burrows

"Many thanks to Dr Chawla and his team for the treatment I received during my implant process. It was lengthy and not always pleasant – invasive surgery, bone graft, temporary plate etc. – but they always made me feel that the outcome would be worthwhile – and it was! I still feel reasonably relaxed about visiting my dentist.

Deeque, Shepperton

"3 years on, and I am forever grateful to Mohan. When no one else could offer a solution for my lateral incisor, which had broken off close to the gum, for a new crown, and my bone was very limited for an implant. He engineered a solution to have a new crown. To get rid of that awful plate was such a relief and in many ways life-changing!

TESTIMONIALS

Frequently asked questions

What can dentures help with? down black circle arrow right black circle arrow

Dentures can:

  • Restore your ability to chew and eat more comfortably.
  • Improve speech where teeth are missing.
  • Support facial structure and prevent a sunken appearance.
  • Replace missing teeth in a cost-effective way.

For some patients, dentures are the most practical option. For others, we may also discuss alternatives such as dental implants in Maidenhead, which offer a more fixed solution.

What types of dentures are available? down black circle arrow right black circle arrow

There are several types of dentures, depending on your needs:

Acrylic dentures
A common and cost-effective option, often used for full dentures or temporary solutions.

Metal (cobalt chrome) dentures
Stronger and thinner than acrylic, these sit more precisely in the mouth but require healthy teeth for support.

Flexible (Valplast) dentures
Made from a flexible material, these can be more comfortable and discreet in some cases.

We’ll help you decide which is most suitable based on your oral health and preferences.

How long does it take to get used to dentures? down black circle arrow right black circle arrow

It’s normal for dentures to feel unfamiliar at first. Most patients adjust over a few weeks as their mouth adapts.

Will dentures stay in place? down black circle arrow right black circle arrow

Modern dentures are designed to fit securely, but they are still removable. For increased stability, some patients consider implant-retained options.

Will I need teeth removed first? down black circle arrow right black circle arrow

In some cases, yes. If teeth need to be removed before dentures are fitted, we’ll guide you through the tooth extraction process carefully.
