Replacement Dentures After A Hospital Stay

Losing your dentures while in hospital can be frustrating, especially when you’re ready to go home and discover you can’t eat or speak comfortably. Without your dentures, eating and speaking become difficult, affecting both your diet and your confidence. At The Dentist West Midlands, we understand the urgency and upset this causes, and we’ll help you get replacement dentures as quickly as possible — at our practice in Great Barr, or at home through our home-visit service, Bedside Dental.

How We Can Help

• Practice or Home Visit: Come to our practice in Great Barr, or if you can’t travel, Bedside Dental can visit you at home to take impressions and plan your new dentures.
• Quick Turnaround: New dentures are usually ready within 4 weeks. With our express service (extra charge), what normally takes 4 weeks can usually be done in about 2 weeks — including full dentures. For some partial dentures, where your remaining teeth show us your bite, express dentures can sometimes be ready in about 1 week. We’ll tell you which applies once we’ve seen you.
• Full Or Partial Dentures: We tailor each case to your needs, whether you’re replacing an entire set or just a few missing teeth.
• Expert Care: Our experienced dental team ensures comfort, proper fit, and a natural look.

Contact PALS for Assistance

If your dentures were misplaced during a stay at Walsall Manor Hospital or any other local facility, the hospital’s Patient Advice And Liaison Service (PALS) can help you report the loss. They may also assist in locating your dentures if they’re still on-site. Meanwhile, if you’d rather start the replacement process right away, reach out to us directly.

What You Need to Do

To get your new dentures, follow these steps:

• Contact PALS: If you were in the hospital, let them know your dentures are lost.
• Book An Appointment: Call us on 01922 624900 or use the online form to arrange an appointment at the practice. For a home visit, contact Bedside Dental.
• Impressions And Fitting: We’ll take impressions and begin crafting your custom dentures.
• Receive Your Dentures: In most cases, your new dentures will be ready within 4 weeks (about 2 weeks with our express service, and sometimes about 1 week for partial dentures), so you can regain your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

• Partial Dentures: Replace only the teeth that are missing while preserving any healthy ones.
• Implant-Retained Dentures: A more secure option if you desire extra stability.

How to Care for Your New Dentures

Once you have your new dentures, proper care is essential to ensure their longevity and your oral health. Follow these tips to keep your dentures in excellent condition:

• Daily Cleaning: Use a soft-bristle toothbrush and non-abrasive denture cleaner to remove food particles.
• Soak Overnight: Keep dentures in a suitable solution to prevent warping or drying out.
• Handle With Care: Dentures can break if dropped; use a soft towel underneath when cleaning.
• Regular Check-Ups: Visit us for adjustments or relining to maintain a perfect fit.

Pricing and Financing Options

Our goal is to make replacement dentures affordable. An acrylic denture is £398 per denture, and we'll give you a clear quote before we start. Home visits through Bedside Dental have their own call-out charges. Spread the cost with up to 12 months interest-free finance (subject to status).

I wasn’t sure which type of denture would be best for me, but the dentist took the time to explain all the options. I decided on a partial denture, and it fits perfectly. It’s so comfortable, and I can eat and smile with confidence again. I’m really happy with the results!
