Protect your dentures with a digital record.
With Scan & Store, we digitally scan and securely store the finished shape of your suitable denture while you continue wearing it as normal.
If your denture is later lost or damaged beyond repair, the stored digital record can make producing a replacement faster and may reduce the number of appointments needed.
This gives you a reliable digital reference of your denture for the future, without changing the denture you currently wear.
Available for suitable full and partial acrylic dentures. Digital services are not available for chrome-based dentures. Suitability is confirmed by our clinical team before scanning.
A simple routine makes a big difference.
Good daily care helps keep your dentures clean, your mouth healthy and your denture materials in the best possible condition.
Rinse after eating
Where practical, remove and rinse your dentures after meals to clear loose food and debris.
Brush every day
Use a denture brush or soft toothbrush with an appropriate denture cleaner. Clean all surfaces, including the fitting surface.
Avoid normal toothpaste
Many ordinary toothpastes are abrasive and can scratch the denture surface, making it easier for staining and deposits to accumulate.
Clean your mouth too
Gently clean your gums, tongue and any natural teeth every day. Denture hygiene and oral hygiene go hand in hand.
Use soaking products carefully
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for denture-cleaning tablets and solutions. Do not leave dentures soaking for longer than directed.
Avoid very hot water
Clean and rinse dentures using cool or lukewarm water. Excessive heat may damage or distort denture materials.
Dentures shouldn't simply be tolerated when something feels wrong.
Your mouth changes over time. If your dentures become sore, unstable, difficult to eat with or noticeably different in fit, contact us so we can assess what is happening.
Your first 12 months
Patients receiving new dentures from The Denture Shop are entitled to free reviews and adjustments relating to those dentures for the first 12 months.
Reviews & adjustments includedAfter 12 months
Once your 12-month adjustment period has ended, a review appointment can be arranged if you have concerns about your dentures or their fit.
Review appointment £90Broken denture? Don't reach for the superglue.
Standard denture repair — £120
Many common acrylic denture fractures and tooth repairs can be completed by our laboratory without the need to send your denture away.
Please don't repair it yourself.
Household superglue and DIY repair products can make a professional repair more difficult and may prevent broken pieces from fitting together accurately.
Keep all pieces of the denture, avoid trying to glue them together and bring them with you.
Scan & Store can be particularly valuable when getting to clinic is difficult.
We can arrange domiciliary visits for suitable patients, including people living in residential and nursing care.
We can visit to scan the denture.
An existing suitable denture can be digitally scanned during a domiciliary visit and its record securely stored while the patient continues using their denture as normal.
A future replacement can be much simpler.
If the stored denture is later lost or damaged beyond repair, we can use its digital record to produce a replacement, typically within around one week. It can then be sent to the patient without another visit unless adjustments are required.
Your denture may be telling you it needs attention.
Soreness or pressure
Persistent rubbing, ulcers, pressure or discomfort should be assessed rather than repeatedly tolerated.
Movement or looseness
A change in retention or stability can indicate that your mouth has changed and the denture may need reviewing.
Repeated breakages
If a denture repeatedly fractures, there may be an underlying fit, bite or material issue that needs investigating rather than simply repairing again.
Denture care questions.
How often should I clean my dentures?
Dentures should be cleaned every day. Rinse away loose debris, gently brush all surfaces with an appropriate denture-cleaning product and follow the instructions of any soaking product you use.
Can I use normal toothpaste?
We recommend avoiding standard abrasive toothpaste on dentures. Repeated use can scratch the surface and make staining and deposits easier to accumulate.
What should I do if my denture breaks?
Keep all pieces together and do not use superglue. Standard repairs are £120 and walk-in repairs are available from 9am–11am at whichever of our clinics is open that day.
How long are adjustments free after getting new dentures?
New dentures supplied by The Denture Shop include 12 months of reviews and adjustments relating to those dentures. After the first 12 months, review appointments are £90.
What is Scan & Store?
Scan & Store is a £180 service that digitally scans and securely stores the finished shape of a suitable existing denture. If the denture is later lost or damaged beyond repair, the stored record can make producing a replacement faster and may reduce the number of appointments needed.
Can partial dentures be digitally stored?
Suitable acrylic partial dentures can be eligible for Scan & Store and digital replication. Our digital denture services are not available for chrome-based dentures.
