Dentures in Bollington.
Dentures are a reliable way to replace missing teeth, restore your smile, and improve chewing and speech.

At Bollington Dental Practice, we create natural-looking, comfortable dentures tailored to your needs.
Why teeth may be lost
Teeth can be lost for a variety of reasons, including:
- Advanced decay or gum disease
- Accidents and injuries
- Wear over many years
- Failed or failing teeth that cannot be restored
If you’d prefer a fixed alternative to dentures, dental implants offer a permanent way to replace missing teeth.
How much do dentures cost?
Acrylic dentures start from £625 and chrome cobalt dentures from £1,495, with the exact price depending on how many teeth are being replaced. You will receive a written treatment plan with the exact cost before we begin. All prices are on our fees page.
Acrylic or chrome cobalt?
Acrylic dentures are lighter on the budget and easy to adjust or add teeth to later, which makes them a good first denture. Chrome cobalt dentures have a slim cast-metal framework, making them stronger, thinner and more secure, with less coverage of the roof of your mouth, which most wearers find noticeably more comfortable. We will talk through both honestly based on your mouth and your priorities.
How long do dentures last?
A well-made denture typically lasts five to ten years. Your mouth changes shape gradually over time, so dentures need relining or remaking periodically to keep their fit. Regular check-ups let us catch a loosening fit early, which protects both comfort and your remaining teeth.
A fixed alternative
If you would rather avoid a removable denture altogether, dental implants can replace missing teeth permanently, or a small number of implants can anchor a denture firmly in place. We offer both routes and will advise on what suits your case.

Dentures for patients from Macclesfield and the surrounding area
Bollington Dental Practice is based in Bollington and sees patients from Macclesfield and nearby villages for denture treatment.
Before any denture work begins, we look at why teeth have been lost and whether a gap needs to be filled at all. A missing tooth is not always a problem on its own, but leaving a gap can let neighbouring teeth drift and change your bite over time. This is why advice on replacement, whether that is a denture, a bridge or a dental implant, is based on what suits your mouth rather than a single default option.
Getting started
If you are considering dentures, the practice will talk you through acrylic and chrome cobalt options honestly, based on your mouth and your priorities, and provide a written treatment plan with the exact cost before any work begins.
Looking after a denture once fitted
Once you have a denture, regular check-ups remain important. Your mouth changes shape gradually over the years, so a denture that fits well now may need relining or remaking later. Catching a loosening fit early at a check-up protects both your comfort and the health of any remaining natural teeth.
For patients who would prefer not to have a removable denture, the practice also places and restores dental implants in-house, either as a full alternative to a denture or as a small number of implants used to anchor a denture more firmly in place.

Types of dentures
We offer several options depending on your needs:
- Full dentures: replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw.
- Partial dentures: replace several missing teeth while keeping the remaining healthy teeth.
Denture materials
Dentures can be made from different materials depending on comfort, function, and aesthetic preferences:
- Acrylic dentures are a common choice, durable and easy to adjust.
- Metal-based dentures have a thinner, smaller base, which can make them lighter, less bulky, and sometimes easier to tolerate for new denture wearers.
- Flexible dentures are made from lightweight, flexible materials for added comfort.
Fixed vs removable options
While dental implants or bridges can provide fixed tooth replacement, they are not suitable for everyone. Reasons may include:
- Insufficient bone density to support implants.
- Remaining teeth are damaged or have poor bone support, meaning they are unsuitable to hold a bridge.
- Certain medical conditions or medications.
- Personal preference for removable options, such as dentures, is that they are less invasive.
- Cost considerations.

Fantastic care. My teenage daughter broke her front tooth badly. Within 4 hours of calling, they were able to squeeze in an emergency appointment, and Ellie and the team did the most fantastic cosmetic repair, such that it looked like nothing had happened at all. Really good service, and really appreciated. Thank you.

I hadn’t visited a dentist for many years as I wear dentures. However, I needed some new dentures, and as I live in Bollington, I decided to book at my local surgery. I cannot praise them enough. They were very easy to deal with, and Ellie, the dentist who took care of me, was very helpful and reassuring. I highly recommend the surgery.
