Your Denture Options
Whether you’ve lost one tooth or several, we offer a complete range of denture options to suit your lifestyle, comfort, and budget.
Acrylic Dentures
The most common starting point. Lightweight, simple, and cost-effective. These are ideal if you need a quick, removable solution.
-
Ideal for partial or complete tooth loss
-
Aesthetic and natural-looking
-
Can be modified as your dental situation changes
Chrome Dentures (Cobalt Chrome)
Slim, durable, and more comfortable. These have a strong metal framework that offers better support and stability than standard acrylic.
Flexible Dentures
Soft, lightweight, and discreet—these are ideal for patients who find traditional dentures uncomfortable or who want a more aesthetic option.
Common Issues We Solve
We understand how dentures can impact your daily life when they’re not right.
-
“My dentures never stay in place.”
We hear this all the time. With David’s custom-fit process and advanced materials, we make sure they do.
-
“I feel embarrassed when I speak or laugh.”
Our natural aesthetics and invisible clasps help restore confidence.
-
“I can’t chew properly, so I avoid certain foods.”
Your comfort is our priority. We create dentures that restore function and let you enjoy meals again.
-
“They just don’t feel like they belong in my mouth.”
Precision fit and premium materials make all the difference. Let’s change that for you.
Implant-Retained Dentures
The Gold Standard in Denture Stability
For patients looking for the most secure, long-lasting solution, we offer implant-retained dentures—sometimes known as “snap-in” dentures.
-
No slipping or clicking when eating or talking
-
Better jawbone support and facial structure preservation
-
Feels more like having your natural teeth back
-
Can be removable or fixed depending on your needs
Implant-retained dentures combine the best of both worlds: the affordability of dentures with the stability of implants. At Lakewood Dental, we partner David’s craftsmanship with our implant dentists to deliver seamless, life-changing results.

FAQs
Why should I replace missing teeth?
We recommend starting the process towards replacing a missing tooth as soon as you can after a tooth has failed.
Time is of the essence when it comes to tooth replacement, and seeking to do this right away will help you avoid problems such as:
- Jawbone recession.
- Changes to your facial structure (hollowing of the cheeks and sagging skin in this area).
- Gum irritation.
- Healthy teeth moving into the vacant gap left behind in the gum.
Tooth replacement is a fantastic investment and the earlier you elect to go forward with it, the less risk there is of struggling with the dental concerns above.
Is replacing missing teeth expensive?
Giving our patients choice is one of our guiding philosophies as a dental practice. We offer restorations that vary in price to ensure cost isn’t a barrier to entry for replacing missing teeth.
From dentures and bridges to implant-supported restorations, we have something for everyone. We also offer 0% finance if you would like to pay for your treatment in instalments.
I’m nervous about seeing a dentist– can you help?
Here at Lakewood Dental, we have fostered a tranquil practice environment. We truly love our work, and one of our biggest successes as team has been helping nervous patients build confidence, and to find a route to treatment.
If you’re anxious about your appointment, we’re with you for the journey, no matter how long it might take. You won’t be rushed or judged, and we can offer sedation if you need that extra helping hand to fully relax in the chair.
Together, we’ve got this.
