Our investment and in-house skills bring you natural-looking, comfortable dentures.
One of the main problems cited by many denture wearers, is that they soon become unstable and uncomfortable. Although not in every case, some of this can be attributed to using cheaper dentures which may offer a poor fit. However, by producing dentures from scratch, and designed for your own specific needs, here at Darren Bywater Dental Care in Derby, we are pleased to provide additional comfort and aesthetics for our local patients.
All of our dentures are made in-house by the denture technician in our team and come with a 12 month guarantee. Whilst we understand why some people may be tempted not to bother with dentures, and simply leave a gap instead, this is never a good idea – here are just a few reasons why:
Value for money
Dentures can last for a long time providing that you look after them. The premium quality dentures that we provide use only the best materials for longer use.
Eat healthily
With ill fitting dentures, many patients find that they are omitting certain foods from their diet as they find them difficult to bite or chew. Our secure fitting dentures enable you to eat most foods quite confidently, enabling you to have a healthy and varied diet.
Maintain clear speech
In-house service for top quality dentures.
If you are missing teeth, it makes good sense to replace them to keep your smile natural looking and to help you to chew your food effectively. Whilst other options are available, including dental implants or a bridge, dentures are still one of the most popular solutions to this problem.
For some people, the understanding of dentures is that they are uncomfortable and have a tendency to move around in the mouth. However, advances in technology mean that the premium quality dentures we offer at Darren Bywater Dental Care in Derby are now much more comfortable and functional and most of these problems have become a thing of the past.
No cutting corners
All dentists are aware that prices for dental treatments need to be competitive and unfortunately, in the case of dentures, this can sometimes lead to corners being cut on the quality of materials used. However, here at Darren Bywater Dental Care our focus is on quality and service, so you can be sure that you will receive premium quality dentures for maximum security and comfort.
Through the use of the latest technology, along with the skills of our resident dentists and technicians, we aim to ensure that your dentures both fit well and offer a high degree of comfort.

Darren Bywater Dental Care offers a denture service to suit you, with every effort made to make your experience as comfortable as possible. With support from our practice specialist technician, Carly Roguszka, we can guarantee our treatment will leave you with a full, confident smile.
When you hear the word ‘dentures’ you’d be forgiven for your immediate thoughts to be ‘uncomfortable’, ‘awkward’ or ‘impractical’. However, at Darren Bywater Dental Care, we are focussed on actively countering the negative view of dentures, by using products of the highest quality, combined with premium service and care to offer our patients the best possible treatment.
We aim to offer our patients a great amount of choice in their treatment, with two distinct options to resolve issues of missing teeth; these are either standard dentures, or implant retained dentures. Regardless of which treatment you choose, the final product will carry a five year guarantee to offer absolute faith in your investment.
For patients who choose to have dentures fitted, our service is exemplary in the Derbyshire area owing to our outstanding facilities and remarkable in-house staff. Unlike other providers, who rely on time consuming back-and-forth with external professionals, every stage of our service is carried out within our practice. After booking an appointment for a date and time to suit you, you may be seen by our dentist and denture technician on the same day, with quality dentures fitted on site, collected direct from our practice in under 24 hours if desired. We use a leading denture process, commended for the impressive level of comfort, and natural, aesthetically pleasing appearance offered. Made using premium materials, our dentures are also very resistant to wear, chipping and staining, offering you the freedom to go about your day without worrying about your smile.
Alternatively, for those who have slightly more to spend on their treatment, implant retained dentures are an extremely popular choice. As the leading dental implant practice in the East Midlands, our service is second to none. Securing your dentures in a stable position with high-calibre implants, you can rest assured that your teeth will not be affected by sudden movements, laughter, talking or biting into hard foods. More affordable than opting for a large number of implants, this treatment will offer you complete confidence.
We cannot discuss our denture service without highlighting the great work of our Dental Technician, Carly Roguszka. Carly got into dental technology 6 years ago, working in a family dental laboratory. She studied for 3 years for a foundation degree in Dental Technology at Central College Nottingham, afterwhich she joined our team at Darren Bywater Dental Care. Under her expert supervision, we can assure you of a denture treatment you can trust. Carly is currently completing her first year of clinical dental technology course based University of Central Lancashire.

Staying on top of your oral health is important for well-being and confidence.
Perhaps because of where our teeth are in the body, many people are self conscious of them to some degree. If you think about it, how often do you look at your teeth in the mirror, or even touch them with your tongue, perhaps seeking out rough edges or to see if food is caught between?
It would seem that, despite the reputation of the British for having poor teeth, we are actually quite concerned about them. Unfortunately for some, this does not always translate into taking action to keep teeth strong and healthy.
No secret
There really is no secret to having healthy teeth. Whilst genetics and some health conditions can play a role; by and large avoiding a high sugar diet whilst cleaning and flossing regularly, along with regular professional dental check ups at our Derby dental clinic, should be all that is required in order to preserve healthy teeth. Those who neglect these simple things are the ones most likely to be anxious or even depressed about the state of their teeth. This can be from an aesthetic or a practical point of view. We will look briefly at the aesthetic aspect of our teeth later, but first let’s consider how poor quality teeth can affect our confidence.
Weak or painful teeth
The role of regular dental check ups.
Most of us will, at some point or another, experience sensitivity in our teeth. Usually this is temporary and under extremes of hot or cold, but it can also be both persistent and quite uncomfortable. It may also indicate an underlying problem with your teeth or gums.
Causes of sensitivity
There are a number of issues that can potentially cause the teeth to be more sensitive than usual. These include the following:
Damaged or worn enamel – When the hard enamel surface of our teeth becomes worn or damaged, the softer dentin layer underneath is exposed. This is porous and therefore any temperature extremes are more likely to be felt via the nerves in our teeth. Worn and damaged enamel can be caused by too many acidic foods, poor cleaning or even teeth grinding.
Receding gums – As we get older, many of us will find that our gums recede to some extent, partially exposing the root of our teeth, which have no enamel. This is likely to cause an increase in sensitivity. Disease can also cause recession and regular check-ups at our Derby family dental practice will help to identify any issues quickly.
Dental decay – Whilst decay can cause toothache on its own, any hot or cold drinks are likely to exaggerate this sensation, making it even more painful.
Cracked and chipped teeth – Again, any damage to the teeth will expose the dentin and make the teeth more sensitive.
Temporary after effects of dental veneers – Dental veneers are increasingly popular with patients who have badly chipped or stained teeth. A few patients experience some increase in sensitivity following the procedure but this is typically not a cause for concern and usually passes within a few days.
Prevention
How this ‘simple’ bodily function aids our teeth and gums.
No part of the human body operates entirely on its own, with everything dependent on other parts of the body. This is also true in the mouth where simply looking after your teeth whilst ignoring your gums, for example, will not result in good oral health.
An often ignored bodily function, at least in a positive sense, is saliva. Whilst this may seem an unpleasant subject for some, the role it plays in keeping our mouths healthy is very important indeed, and, at our Derby dental practice, we see many cases where poor oral health has resulted due to a shortage of saliva flow.
Saliva
Whilst a great deal of saliva is made up of water, some of it is made from mucus and studies have shown that this mucus plays a role in protecting our teeth. Although the mucus does not actually kill off harmful bacteria that are present in our mouth in large quantities, it works by suspending these bacteria within the mucus, restricting their ability to attach themselves to the teeth. When there is insufficient saliva flow, the bacteria are then able to attach themselves to the teeth and gums, causing problems such as tooth decay and gum disease.
Oral health regimen
Our fully compliant disabled access dental practice in Derby offers inclusive dental care.
Quite a few dental practices around the UK are situated in older buildings and adapted for use. For the majority of patients, this presents no problems, but, for the disabled, some of these buildings are inaccessible to wheelchair users, or, are accessible but only with some degree of difficulty. This was one of the many factors that we took into consideration when we first set up Darren Bywater Dental Care, and, after a lot of research and effort had been put into finding the right building, we purchased our current property on Main Avenue.
Purchasing the property was just the first step though, and, working with architects, the practice was built and designed not only to the highest level for dental purposes, but so that it was fully accessible for disabled patients.
