Serving the communities of Pwllheli and Criccieth, we are committed to providing high-quality, personalised care to meet the unique needs of each patient.

Make EnquiryLiving in the tight-knit communities of Pwllheli and Criccieth, where personal relationships and quality of life are valued, we understand how important it is to feel confident in your smile. Missing teeth not only affect your appearance but can also make everyday tasks like eating and speaking more difficult. Additionally, tooth loss can lead to other oral health problems, such as shifting teeth or gum deterioration.
By choosing dentures or bridges, you’re taking an important step in restoring both function and aesthetics to your mouth. Our goal is to help you regain the ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence while also preventing further dental issues. At Glandwr Dental Practice, we offer comprehensive consultations to ensure that dentures or bridges are the best solution for your oral health needs.
Make EnquiryDentures
Dentures are removable prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth. They can be full or partial, depending on how many teeth need to be replaced. Full dentures are used when all teeth in an arch are missing, while partial dentures fill in the gaps when some natural teeth remain. Made of a combination of acrylic and metal, dentures are custom-fitted to your mouth for comfort and a natural appearance.
Bridges
A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic that fills the space left by one or more missing teeth. Bridges are anchored by natural teeth on either side of the gap or, in some cases, dental implants. Made from durable materials like porcelain or metal, bridges are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, restoring both function and appearance.
Make EnquiryAt Glandwr Dental Practice, we are committed to making the process of getting dentures or bridges as comfortable and straightforward as possible. Here’s what you can expect:
Initial Consultation
During your first appointment, we’ll thoroughly assess your oral health, discuss your treatment goals, and determine whether dentures or bridges are the best option for you. We’ll take X-rays and impressions of your teeth to ensure a proper fit.
Design & Fitting
For dentures, we’ll work with you to choose the right materials and design that suits your smile and preferences. If you’re opting for a bridge, we’ll prepare the neighbouring teeth for the supporting crowns, and we’ll work closely with our trusted dental lab to create a custom-fitted bridge.
Final Placement
After your dentures or bridge is ready, we’ll schedule a follow-up appointment to fit and adjust them. Our team will ensure that your dentures or bridge are comfortable and functional, with special attention to aesthetics so that your new smile looks natural and beautiful.
Both dentures and bridges are designed to fit comfortably and function like your natural teeth. While there may be a brief adjustment period, most patients quickly adapt to their new teeth. We take the time to ensure that your dentures or bridge fit well and that you are satisfied with their appearance and functionality.
For dentures, it’s important to remember that they may initially feel bulky or uncomfortable, especially if you’re not used to wearing them. Our team will help you adjust to your new dentures and will provide guidance on how to care for them properly to ensure long-lasting comfort.
Make EnquiryRestoring Function
Missing teeth can make it difficult to chew and speak properly. Dentures and bridges restore the function of your teeth, allowing you to eat your favourite foods and speak clearly without discomfort.
Enhancing Your Smile
Dentures and bridges are designed to look natural, so you can smile with confidence. Both options are custom-crafted to blend in seamlessly with your existing teeth, giving you a beautiful, youthful smile.
Preventing Further Dental Issues
Replacing missing teeth with dentures or bridges helps prevent your remaining teeth from shifting, which can lead to misalignment, bite problems, and even additional tooth loss.
Durability
Both dentures and bridges are made from high-quality materials that are durable and long-lasting. With proper care, they can last for many years, making them a valuable investment in your oral health.

The process typically takes a few weeks. This includes the time needed for designing and fitting your dentures or bridge, as well as any necessary follow-up appointments for adjustments.
While there may be an adjustment period, dentures and bridges are designed to look and function as naturally as possible. With the right fit, they should feel comfortable and provide the same functionality as your natural teeth.
For dentures, it’s important to clean them daily with a soft brush and non-abrasive toothpaste. You should also remove them at night and soak them in a denture solution. For bridges, maintain a regular oral hygiene routine with brushing and flossing to ensure they stay clean and in good condition.
