FAQ's
Q:

How much do dentures cost in Bolton?

A:
Complete dentures start from £595 for a single denture or £895 for a pair (Basic range). Superior, Premium and Bespoke dentures go up to £2,750 for a bespoke pair. Partial dentures start from £495 per denture. Consultations are free, so you’ll get an exact price before any work starts.
Q:

Do you offer free consultations?

A:
Yes. Every consultation is free and there’s no obligation. Call 01204 382244 to book at our Bromley Cross clinic.
Q:

What's the difference between your Basic, Superior, Premium and Bespoke dentures?

A:
Each level upgrades the teeth and materials. Basic uses standard private teeth and acrylic. Superior adds ‘4 Natur’ teeth and high-impact acrylic. Premium adds ‘Enigma Life’ teeth and gum contouring. Bespoke adds individual tooth characterisation and gum staining for the most natural result.
Q:

How long do new dentures take?

A:
Usually 4–5 weeks from your first appointment to the fitting.
Q:

Do I need to see a dentist first, or can I come straight to you?

A:
You can come straight to us. Our Clinical Dental Technicians are registered with the General Dental Council, which allows them to supply dentures directly to the public.
Q:

How can I check my denture provider is qualified?

A:
Ask for their GDC registration number and check it on the General Dental Council register. Make sure they’re registered as a Clinical Dental Technician, not only as a dental technician.
Q:

Do you make partial dentures?

A:
Yes. Partial dentures start from £495 per denture, with upgrades available. A chrome frame adds an additional cost of £350.
Q:

How long does a denture repair take?

A:
Most repairs take around an hour, depending on the damage. Repairs start from £70. If your denture keeps breaking, the fit may be the problem, and we can check that for free.
Q:

Can I fix my dentures with glue or a home repair kit?

A:
We don’t recommend it. Glue and home kits can damage the denture further and harm your gums or remaining teeth.
Q:

My dentures feel loose. What can I do?

A:
Gums and bone change shape over time, so dentures loosen. A reline adds a new layer to the fitting surface to restore the fit. It can be done in the same day and costs from £250 (single) or £400 (pair).
Q:

How often should dentures be professionally cleaned?

A:
We recommend a deep clean 2–3 times a year to remove plaque and tartar that home cleaning misses. It takes 20–30 minutes and costs £40 for a single denture or £75 for a pair.
Q:

How often should my dentures be checked?

A:
Have them checked by a Clinical Dental Technician at least every two years, or sooner if they feel loose, look discoloured, or the teeth have worn flat.
Q:

Can dentures be fitted on implants?

A:
Yes. Implant-retained dentures are made together with a dental implant surgeon. They click into place and give the most secure hold, which suits patients who struggle with loose dentures.
Q:

Should I have a spare set of dentures?

A:
Yes. A spare set means you’re never without teeth if your main denture breaks.
Q:

Do you make sports mouth guards?

A:
Yes. We make custom sports mouth guards, from £125.
Q:

Where are you and when are you open?

A:
We’re at 452 Darwen Road, Bromley Cross, Bolton BL7 9HZ. We’re open Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm, and Saturdays by appointment.
