Full Dentures

Replacing all your teeth, beautifully

Losing all your natural teeth is a significant life change — but it doesn’t mean compromising on your smile, your confidence or your ability to enjoy food. Modern full dentures are lightweight, lifelike and precisely fitted to your gums and face. Done properly, they look completely natural, feel comfortable for daily wear, and let you eat most foods with ease. At Clarendons, every set is custom-crafted with attention to every detail.

Whether you’ve been a denture wearer for years and are ready for an upgrade, or you’re transitioning to full dentures for the first time, we’ll guide you through every stage. Multiple fittings to get the fit perfect. Shade and shape matched to your features. Optional implant retention if you want extra stability. In our calm Leeds city centre clinic, with expert care and no pressure.

What are full dentures?

Precision-crafted full dentures

  • Full (or complete) dentures replace all the natural teeth in either your upper or lower jaw (or both). They’re made from a combination of high-grade acrylic and artificial teeth (composite or porcelain), custom-crafted to match your gum contours and facial features. Upper dentures cover the roof of your mouth, using suction and muscle grip to stay in place.

  • Lower dentures are held by the tongue and muscles of the lower jaw (and often stabilised by implants, as the lower arch offers less natural retention). Modern dentures fit precisely and look natural — often indistinguishable from real teeth.

Features and benefits

A natural smile, made for you

  • Custom-crafted fit

    Made from precise impressions of your gums and jaw. Multiple fittings to perfect comfort and function. Not mass-produced — individually made for you.

  • Natural-looking teeth

    Shade, shape and translucency matched to your facial features. Modern materials mimic real teeth closely. No one will know they’re not the real thing.

  • Option to upgrade to implant-retained

    Traditional full dentures work brilliantly for many patients. For extra stability — particularly for lower dentures that tend to move — we can add 2–4 implants to anchor the denture firmly in place.

The Clarendon's Difference

Dentures that fit like they should

  • A poorly-made denture is a daily misery — rubbing, slipping, clicking, making eating and speaking difficult. A well-made denture is barely noticeable once fitted: comfortable for all-day wear, functional for normal eating, natural in appearance. At Clarendons, we take the time and multiple fittings needed to get full dentures right. Detailed impressions. Careful bite registration. Try-in stages so you see the result before final fabrication. The difference shows in how dentures perform day to day.

  • Our award-winning clinic in Leeds city centre makes the denture journey calm and supportive. We know that transitioning to or upgrading full dentures is emotionally significant for most patients — and we take that seriously. Multiple appointments to get things right. Honest conversations about expectations. Flexible payment options. And ongoing aftercare to adjust dentures as your mouth changes over time.

How much do full dentures cost?

Quality dentures. Fair pricing.

Full dentures are priced based on materials and craftsmanship. Standard acrylic dentures are more affordable; premium dentures with high-grade teeth, metal reinforcement or characterised detail cost more. Upper and lower can be priced together or separately. Adding implant retention is a significant additional investment but transformative for lower dentures. We’ll provide clear pricing at your consultation. Interest-free finance available.

FAQs

Still have questions about full dentures?

What’s the difference between full dentures and implants?

Full dentures are removable prosthetic replacements sitting on top of your gums — affordable, non-invasive, good for most patients. Full arch implants (like All-on-4) replace all teeth with a fixed bridge supported by implants — more expensive, requires surgery, but delivers results much closer to natural teeth (fixed, no slipping, normal eating). Implant-retained dentures are a middle ground: removable dentures anchored to 2–4 implants for extra stability. We’ll talk through all options at your consultation.

Will full dentures look obvious?

Not when properly made. Modern denture teeth come in a wide range of shapes, shades and sizes. Shade is matched to your skin tone and age. Subtle imperfections and slight variations in tooth position make the final result look natural. Most people can’t tell well-made full dentures from real teeth. We’ll show you the wax try-in before final processing, so you can approve the look entirely.

How long do full dentures last?

Well-made dentures typically last 5–10 years, sometimes longer. Over this time, your gums and jawbone naturally shrink (especially in the first year after tooth loss), so relining or replacement may be needed to maintain good fit. Regular check-ups allow us to monitor fit and replace or reline as needed. Implant-retained dentures tend to last longer because implants prevent bone loss.

Will I be able to eat normally with full dentures?

For most foods, yes — with practice. Soft foods from day one. Medium-texture foods within 1–2 weeks as you adapt. Harder foods (apples, steak) within a few weeks for most patients. Very hard or sticky foods (caramels, hard nuts) can remain challenging. Implant-retained lower dentures dramatically improve what you can eat. Most patients return to 80–95% of their previous eating ability.
