Dentures and Dental Bridges in York
If you have missing teeth, Jorvik Dental Practice can help you restore your smile, improve your ability to eat comfortably and support the appearance of your natural teeth. We offer dentures and dental bridges in York, with treatment planned around your individual needs, oral health and preferences.
Located in Nether Poppleton, York, our calm and welcoming private dental practice provides a range of options for replacing missing teeth, including full and partial dentures and fixed dental bridges.
Dentures in York
Dentures are a removable option for replacing one or more missing teeth. Depending on how many teeth you are missing and the condition of your remaining teeth, we can discuss partial dentures or complete dentures.
A well-designed denture can help to:
-
Replace missing teeth and restore your smile
-
Improve chewing and eating
-
Support facial appearance
-
Improve confidence when speaking and smiling
-
Replace several missing teeth without requiring an implant for every tooth
We will assess your teeth, gums and bite before recommending the most suitable type of denture. We can also discuss the appearance, fit and practical considerations involved in wearing a denture.
Dental Bridges in York
A dental bridge is a fixed tooth replacement used to fill a gap created by one or more missing teeth. Unlike a removable denture, a bridge is designed to remain in place and can provide a natural-looking way to replace missing teeth.
A bridge may be suitable where there are healthy supporting teeth or other suitable structures available to support the replacement tooth. Your dentist will carefully assess the teeth around the gap and explain whether a bridge is an appropriate option.
Dental bridges can help to:
-
Replace missing teeth with a fixed restoration
-
Restore your ability to chew
-
Improve the appearance of your smile
-
Prevent neighbouring teeth from drifting into the space
-
Restore the shape and function of your teeth
Which is better: a denture, bridge or dental implant?
There is no single solution that is right for everyone. Depending on your circumstances, we may discuss dentures, dental bridges or dental implants as possible ways of replacing missing teeth.
The best option can depend on factors such as the number and position of missing teeth, the health of your gums and remaining teeth, your bite, available bone and your personal preferences.
At Jorvik Dental Practice, we take time to explain your options so you can make an informed decision about your treatment.

The Dental Bridge and Denture Treatment Process
We understand that replacing missing teeth can feel like a big decision. At Jorvik Dental Practice, we take a careful and personalised approach, explaining each stage of treatment so you know what to expect.
Your initial consultation
Your treatment starts with a dental examination and consultation. We assess your teeth, gums, bite and the area where teeth are missing. Where appropriate, dental X-rays may be recommended to assess the supporting teeth and surrounding bone.
We will discuss your concerns and what you would like to achieve, then explain the suitable options. These may include a denture, dental bridge or dental implant, depending on your individual circumstances.
Planning your treatment
Once we have assessed your oral health, we will explain the recommended treatment, including the advantages, limitations, expected timescale and costs.
If you are considering a dental bridge, we will assess the teeth that would support the bridge to make sure they are suitable.
For dentures, we will consider the number and position of missing teeth, the health of your remaining teeth and gums, and the type of denture that is most appropriate for you.
We want you to have all the information you need before deciding whether to proceed.
Dental bridge treatment
If a dental bridge is suitable, the supporting tooth or teeth may need to be carefully prepared to accommodate the bridge. Impressions or digital scans are then used to create your customised restoration.
A temporary restoration may be provided while your permanent bridge is being made. Once the final bridge is ready, we check its fit, appearance and bite before carefully bonding it into position.
We will then show you how to care for your bridge and the surrounding teeth to help maintain your oral health.
Denture treatment
For dentures, we take detailed impressions or scans of your mouth so that your denture can be designed to fit your individual anatomy.
Depending on the type of denture and complexity of treatment, you may have one or more appointments during the process to check the fit, appearance and bite before the final denture is completed.
Once your denture is fitted, we will explain how to insert, remove and clean it and how to look after your gums and remaining natural teeth.
It can take a little time to get used to a new denture. Minor adjustments may sometimes be needed as you become accustomed to wearing it.
After your treatment
Looking after your new denture or bridge is important for maintaining your oral health. We will advise you on cleaning, hygiene and any additional care required.
Regular dental examinations and hygiene appointments can help us monitor your gums, remaining teeth and restoration over time.
If you are unsure whether a denture or dental bridge is right for you, our team at Jorvik Dental Practice in York can assess your smile and explain your options.
