The "Dentural Facelift"
A denture should not merely fill a gap; it should restore the architecture of the face. We craft prosthetic masterpieces that reverse the signs of ageing.
The South Kensington Standard
- The "Non-Denture" Look: High-impact acrylics layered to mimic natural gum vascularity.
- Facial Support: Designed to restore lip fullness and reduce "marionette lines."
- Swiss Teeth: We use premium Phonares/Ivoclar teeth with natural translucency.
- Stability: Options for suction-fit or implant-retention for total security.
The Investment
- Guest Fee: From £750.00 (Single Arch)
- Member Fee: From £375.00 (50% Privilege Reduction)
The Philosophy: Reversing the Collapse
The loss of teeth is a traumatic event, not just for the smile, but for the entire face. When teeth are lost, the jawbone begins to shrink (resorb). This leads to a loss of Vertical Dimension—the distance between the nose and the chin decreases.
- • The lips collapse inward.
- • The corners of the mouth droop.
- • Deep wrinkles form around the mouth.
- • The face takes on a "sunken" or aged appearance.
At the Cosmetic Dentistry Clinic, we do not make "false teeth." We practice Bio-Functional Prosthetics.
Our Cosmetic Dentures are designed to replace not just the white teeth, but the lost bone and gum tissue. By carefully calculating the volume of the denture, we can physically "lift" the face, smoothing out wrinkles and restoring the fullness of the lips. It is a non-surgical facelift, achieved through dental engineering.
The "Cosmetic" Difference: Why Ours Look Real
Standard dentures often look like "piano keys"—flat, opaque, and obviously artificial. They often have plain pink plastic that looks nothing like human gum tissue.
The South Kensington Difference lies in the details:
1. The Teeth (The Enamel)
We use premium Swiss or German denture teeth (e.g., Ivoclar Vivadent). These are multi-layered. They have a darker neck and a translucent edge, just like natural enamel. We often rotate them slightly or create microscopic imperfections to ensure they look "born," not made.
2. The Gingiva (The Gums)
Natural gums are not one shade of pink. They are a vascular network of reds, corals, and purples. Our master technicians use Composite Staining to add veins and texture to the acrylic base. This "stippling" effect means that even when you laugh and show gum, it looks hyper-realistic.
3. The Phonetics (The Speech)
We set the teeth in positions that allow for crisp speech. We ensure the "S" and "F" sounds are clear, preventing the whistling or clicking often associated with cheap dentures.
The Menu of Options: Tailored to You
One material does not fit all. We offer a hierarchy of prosthetic solutions depending on your needs for comfort, stability, and aesthetics.
A. High-Impact Acrylic (The Aesthetic Standard)
Best For: Full dentures (missing all teeth) or those seeking maximum facial support.
The Tech: Made from diamond-strength acrylic that resists dropping.
The Look: Highly customisable gum work. The most "facelift-friendly" option as we can bulk out the flanges to support the lips.
B. Chrome-Cobalt (The Skeleton)
Best For: Partial dentures (missing some teeth).
The Tech: A hidden, ultra-thin metal framework sits on the roof of the mouth or behind the lower teeth.
The Benefit: Because metal is strong, it can be paper-thin. This is far less bulky than plastic, allowing you to taste food better and speak more naturally. It uses precision clasps to grip existing teeth for superior stability.
C. Flexible Dentures (Valplast)
Best For: Small partial dentures (1–3 teeth).
The Tech: Made from a biocompatible nylon thermoplastic.
The Benefit: There is no metal. The clasps are made of gum-coloured plastic that blends into your tissue. They are flexible, unbreakable, and very comfortable.
D. Implant-Retained Dentures (The Gold Standard)
Best For: Patients with loose lower dentures or those wanting to eat steak/apples.
The Tech: We place 2 to 4 dental implants in the jaw. The denture has "snap" locators inside it.
The Benefit: The denture clicks into place. It cannot move, rock, or float. You can remove it to clean it, but when it is in, it is rock solid. It eliminates the need for denture glue entirely.
The Process: A Sculpture in Four Acts
Creating a cosmetic denture is not a quick process. It is a series of try-ins and adjustments to ensure the aesthetics match your personality.
Visit 1: The Blueprint (Impressions)
We take high-precision moulds of your gums and jaw. For partial dentures, we also scan your remaining teeth to design the path of insertion.
Visit 2: The Registration (The Bite)
This is the most critical medical step. We use wax blocks to determine where your teeth should meet. We measure your face to restore the "Vertical Dimension" (the anti-ageing height). We also select the shade and shape of the teeth with you—do you want a "soft, rounded" feminine look or a "square, dominant" masculine look?
Visit 3: The Try-In (The Preview)
You will try in the actual teeth, set in pink wax. This is your "Test Drive." You can look in the mirror, speak, and smile.
If you feel the front teeth are too long, we move them. If you want a gap (diastema) for character, we create it. We do not proceed to finish until you sign off on the aesthetics.
Visit 4: The Fit (The Renaissance)
The final high-impact denture is inserted. We adjust any pressure spots and ensure the bite is balanced. You leave with your new smile.
The "Suction" Secret
Upper dentures usually stay up due to suction across the palate. Lower dentures are notoriously difficult because the tongue moves them.
At Cosmetic Dentistry Clinic, we utilise SEMCD (Suction Effective Mandibular Complete Denture) principles where possible. We capture the movement of your tongue and cheek muscles during the impression stage to create a seal around the borders. This creates a suction effect even on the lower jaw, significantly improving stability without implants.
The Investment: Fees & Privilege Access
Bespoke prosthetics require hours of laboratory artistry. A "standard" NHS denture takes about 2 hours of lab time; a Cosmetic Denture takes 10–15 hours of layering and characterisation.
Through our Privilege Programme, we make this craftsmanship accessible.

Living with Cosmetic Dentures
Adjusting to new dentures is a journey. We support you through the acclimatisation phase.
Eating
The First Week: Soft foods. Cut food into small pieces. Chew on both sides of the mouth simultaneously to stop the denture from tipping.
The Goal: With our high-stability designs, you should eventually return to a varied diet. (For chewing steak or sticky foods, we recommend the Implant-Retained option).
Speaking
You may sound slightly different for 24–48 hours as your tongue gets used to the new shape of the palate. We recommend reading a book aloud to retrain the tongue quickly.
Sleeping
We generally recommend taking dentures out at night to let the gum tissue breathe and to prevent fungal infections. We provide a specialised storage case.
Why South Kensington Chooses Us
1. The Lab Relationship
A dentist is only as good as their technician. We partner with elite prosthodontic laboratories in the UK and Europe. These technicians are artists who specialise in "pink aesthetics"—making the plastic look like living tissue.
2. The "Facelift" Focus
We are not just filling gaps. We are analyzing your profile. We often ask patients to bring photos of themselves from 20 years ago so we can recreate their original smile, not a generic one.
3. The Urgent Repair Service
Denture breakages are stressful. We offer a rapid repair service for our patients. If you drop your denture, we can often repair it the same day.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Will they fall out when I laugh?
A well-made upper denture has strong suction and should never fall out. Lower dentures are less stable due to the tongue, but our muscle-moulded impressions maximise retention. For total security, we recommend placing 2 implants to "lock" it in.
Do I need adhesive (glue)?
Ideally, no. A perfect fit should rely on physics (suction and cohesion), not glue. However, for public speaking or peace of mind, a small amount of adhesive can be used. If you rely on glue daily, your denture likely needs relining.
Can I keep my remaining teeth?
Yes. In fact, we fight to save them. Even keeping two healthy roots can help preserve the bone. We can make "Over-dentures" that sit on top of these roots.
How long do they last?
The teeth will wear down over 5–7 years. Additionally, your jawbone shrinks over time, meaning the fit will loosen. We recommend a "Reline" (refitting the surface) every 2–3 years to maintain the suction.
