What are enigma teeth and are they worth it ?
What are Enigma teeth?
Enigma teeth are premium artificial teeth used to make dentures. They are part of the Enigma cosmetic denture system and are designed to look as much like natural teeth as possible, so that other people are less likely to notice you are wearing a denture. They can be used in full or partial dentures.
Why do they look more natural?
Natural teeth are not uniformly white. They have slight variations in colour, a little translucency at the edges, and small individual features. Standard denture teeth are often flatter and more uniform, which is why some dentures look false. Enigma teeth are made in layers to copy these details:
- Subtle variations in colour and translucency, like natural enamel
- A wide choice of shades, including very light shades for people who prefer a brighter smile
- Shapes and neck lengths that help them blend in with your remaining natural teeth if you have a partial denture
How natural a denture looks also depends on how it is designed: the size and position of the teeth, how much gum shows, and how well the denture supports your lips and cheeks. We plan these details with you so the result suits your face.
Are they durable?
Enigma teeth are designed to be strong and hard-wearing for everyday eating. Like all denture teeth, they last longest when the denture is cleaned daily, removed at night and checked regularly so it can be relined or adjusted as your gums change. See our denture care tips.
Are they worth it?
Missing teeth can affect eating, confidence and the support of your lips and face. If the appearance of your denture matters to you — especially for front teeth that show when you smile — Enigma teeth can make a noticeable difference. Enigma teeth are £123; see our prices for full details of denture costs.
We’ll talk you through the options at your denture consultation so you can decide what’s right for you.

Dentist and assistant arrived on time to treat my wife who sadly suffers from dementia and is unable to communicate to dentist fully.
(Sadly not seen Dentist for 5 years)
The service they gave was nothing short of wonderful. As patients partner, I was involved in the process of a 3 tooth removal process. Dentist explained the process, the techniques, apparatus used, how the treatment was administered and all aspects of aftercare.
Both Dentist and assistant talked and encouraged wife in a calm and professional way, held her hand to calm her.
Dentist only proceeded when gum area was completely numb so extractions could proceed.
All 3 extractions proceeded in a calm and professional manner.
I can only say a big thank you to Dentist and assistant who really put myself at ease with the whole process.
Communication from their Birmingham centre was excellent, and, although I was in the Liverpool area for treatment, there were no communication glitches.
I can thoroughly recommend the homevisit way of providing dental services for the more vulnerable and mobility problems of patients.
I thank them very much.

I had been suffering with pain for a few weeks from my wisdom tooth. But unable to get into my usual dental surgery for over a month.
Found an appointment for same day. And due to being anxious about dentist I was worried about going.
When I arrived the staff greeted me and eased my nerves.
During the consultant the dentist and staff made me felt at ease. Went through each step and then went through treatment options. Needed to have the tooth removed. The nurse and dentist were amazing. Comforted me and also allowed to have my mum in the room with me. They went through the procedure with my and then my after care afterwards. I would definitely recommend to anywho is nervous about going to the dentist like me.
