Dentures in Basingstoke
Living with missing teeth can affect more than your smile - it can change how you eat, speak, and feel about yourself. We know it’s not always easy to talk about, but if you’re looking for a way to restore comfort, appearance, and function, dentures can be a reliable and life-enhancing solution. At our practice in Basingstoke, we provide carefully crafted dentures that help our patients feel more like themselves again.
We’ve supported many individuals through the process of replacing missing teeth - whether it’s just a few or a complete set. Our team understands how personal this journey can be, and we’re here to make it as straightforward, supportive, and positive as possible. We take the time to explain everything, answer your questions, and create dentures that feel comfortable and look natural.
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are removable appliances designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding gum tissue. They can be full - replacing all teeth in the upper or lower jaw - or partial, filling gaps where some natural teeth remain. Modern dentures are much more comfortable and discreet than they used to be, and when made properly, they can be difficult to distinguish from real teeth.
We work closely with skilled dental technicians to create bespoke dentures that match the shape, shade, and structure of your mouth. From the initial consultation to the final fitting, every stage is tailored to you. We use digital scans and impressions to ensure accuracy, and we’ll always check the fit and function thoroughly before you leave with your new smile.
Some patients choose to secure their dentures with dental implants, which can offer an even greater sense of stability. Whether you’re considering traditional dentures or exploring implant-retained options, we’ll explain the benefits clearly so you can make the choice that’s right for you.

At Hampshire Dental Care, we focus on personalised, honest care. We know that wearing dentures is a big adjustment, and we’re here to help every step of the way. From our very first conversation, we’ll work to understand what you want to achieve - and what challenges you may have faced in the past.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every denture we provide is customised to the patient, ensuring a more secure and natural fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
How long do dentures last?
With good care, dentures typically last 5–10 years. Over time, your mouth can change shape, which may require adjustments or replacements. Regular check-ups help us keep everything in working order.
Do dentures hurt or feel uncomfortable?
It’s normal to need a short adjustment period, but well-made dentures should not hurt. We’ll guide you through this phase and offer advice if you experience any soreness. Long-term comfort is always our priority.
Can I eat normally with dentures?
Yes, although it may take a little time to adjust to eating with them. We recommend starting with softer foods and gradually reintroducing your normal diet. Over time, most people find they can eat comfortably again.
Do I need to use denture adhesive?
Many of our patients find that their dentures fit securely without the need for adhesives, especially when they’ve been custom-made. However, for extra peace of mind, we can advise on safe adhesive use if needed.
What’s the difference between full and partial dentures?
Full dentures replace all teeth on the upper or lower arch, while partial dentures fill in gaps between remaining natural teeth. We’ll explain which type is best for your situation at your consultation.
