Services
Full Dentures
Custom-crafted full dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw, combining precise fit with natural aesthetics. Our process ensures optimal lip support and smile alignment through wax try-ins and patient collaboration. Using premium materials, we create durable, comfortable solutions that restore oral function and confidence for patients with extensive tooth loss.
Denture Repairs
Urgent and routine denture repairs address cracks, breaks, or damaged teeth using rapid turnaround techniques. Our clinic handles same-day emergencies while maintaining structural integrity and aesthetics. Patients receive temporary solutions when needed, ensuring uninterrupted daily function during the repair process.
Denture Relines
Relining services restore proper fit for dentures that have become loose due to gum changes. We offer both soft and hard relines using biocompatible materials, completed in-house for faster service. This procedure enhances comfort and prevents irritation while extending the lifespan of existing dentures.
Mouthguards
Custom-fitted mouthguards protect teeth during sports or grinding episodes. Our thermoplastic guards are fabricated from precise impressions for superior protection and comfort. Available for adults and children, these guards prevent dental trauma while allowing clear speech and easy breathing during physical activity.
Implant Retained Dentures
Implant-retained dentures combine titanium fixtures with precision attachments for enhanced stability. This solution prevents slippage while maintaining removability for cleaning. Patients benefit from improved chewing efficiency and confidence, with implants preserving jawbone structure and supporting long-term oral health.

Questions
What types of dentures do you offer?
We provide full dentures, partial dentures, implant-retained options, and immediate dentures. Each solution is custom-crafted for comfort and aesthetics using premium materials.
How long does denture fitting take?
The process typically requires 3-5 appointments over 2-4 weeks, including consultations, impressions, try-ins, and final adjustments for optimal fit and appearance.
Do you offer emergency repairs?
Yes, we prioritise urgent cases and often complete same-day repairs for broken or damaged dentures to minimise disruption to your daily life.

Report
I suffer from Bruxism (teeth grinding) and had reacted to my own tooth guard which had been fitted by my dentist. Symptoms included, red raw inflammation of the skin on the areas of my mouth in contact with the guard. I came across Brighton Dental whilst exploring options and now have a guard that I have not reacted to and fits comfortably at night to sleep. With only a few questions, Keith worked out the problem and fitted me with a new guard. The whole process was quick, professional and friendly. Quality Workmanship!

My 88 year old father is so pleased with his new dentures, crafted by Keith at Brighton Dentures. It has inspired confidence and allows a variety of foods previously unavailable to him. Dad has severe Parkinisons disease and this meant great difficulty making dentures
and getting them right. Keith slowly, kindly, and skillfully persisted, making for such a positive experience . Dad and I would recommend him whole heartedly, the end result has been truely life changing.

Mouth Guard
This is the third year in a row we have visited Keith for a mouth guard, the quality is excellent, my son has never had any issues. Keith goes above and beyond to help, even did a super speedy turn around and dropped it off to us. Thank you so much! See you next year :)

I am so excited about my new teeth! Thanks so much, Keith, for your professionalism and care. I no longer need to feel self-conscious when I smile, the teeth look so real! I feel like a new woman now that I can beam widely and with pride.

I thoroughly recommend Brighton Dentures. When a crown at the very front of my mouth fell out during lockdown and I was unable to see my prosthodontist to get it replaced, Keith was able to make a temporary denture for me. I was impressed by the care that he took. It fits comfortably, looks natural and my confidence is restored.
