Dentures
Dentures are a trusted and effective way to replace missing teeth, helping to restore the function and appearance of your smile.
What are dentures?
Dentures are removable appliances designed to replace one or more missing teeth and are custom-made to fit the shape of your mouth. They can be used to replace a full arch of teeth or just a few missing teeth, and are typically made from plastic or metal frameworks that carry single or multiple false teeth. Dentures help restore your ability to chew and speak comfortably, support facial muscles, and prevent remaining teeth from shifting out of position. Your dentist will take detailed impressions to ensure your dentures fit securely and look as natural as possible, and will provide advice on how to care for them so they remain comfortable and long-lasting.

What our patients think
Angela Curtis
I honestly couldn’t be happier with the results! From my very first appointment, Dr Prabhat Gurung made me feel completely at ease, explaining every step of the treatment and making sure I was comfortable throughout. A special thank you also to the dental nurse, Olivia Dale who was incredibly kind, friendly and reassuring. She helped me feel relaxed at every visit and was such an important part of the whole experience. The attention to detail and level of skill are outstanding. My teeth look completely natural, and I finally have the smile I’ve always wanted. I can’t stop smiling, and my confidence has grown so much. Everyone at Durham Smile Clinic has been welcoming, caring and professional. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr Prabhat Gurung and the whole team to anyone looking for exceptional dental care. Thank you all so much!

Another nervous patient here but I cannot thank Mel and the others enough for making me feel so at ease today!! I’m neurodivergent and very anxious - this was no trouble at all and it was so nice not feeling like a burden. Mel talked me through everything, was so so patient with me, understood what I needed and met me where I was instead of pushing me; after bad experiences in the past I feel so much better after today!

Brilliant! Dr Roshan and team were so attentive and listened to all my (complex) needs. He gave me loads of information and advice. He really took his time and I didn't feel rushed at all. Best dentist experience I've ever had.
