Don’t discount dentures…
If you have a missing tooth or teeth, or a dentist told you a tooth is unrestorable, you may be unsure about what to do next.
You may have heard that dental implants are the best, most modern solution. But they are not the only option, because removable dentures have not gone away. Many exceptional dentists are continuing to deliver dentures. A patient might not be suitable for a dental implant, or want one. Dentures cost less than implants, but this does not compromise the quality of the product. The aesthetic outcome and long-term result can also be excellent.
If you are susceptible to gum disease or bone loss around the teeth, your dentist may recommend a denture. A brilliant dentist will make a thorough assessment, so your treatment is ethical. They will give you all the information you need to make your decision. A dental implant does not always last forever, and it isn’t fit-and-forget. You may not feel able to commit to the ongoing job of aftercare to keep it stable. Healing is usually required before the final restoration is fitted and you may not want to wait.
The “new” dentures
Materials and technologies have evolved and “new” dentures look great. They also feel and function like natural teeth. They are a world away from anything you might associate with your grandparents.
With the support of a skilled dentist, you can receive a denture that allows you to get on with your life. You can smile again with confidence and feel good about yourself. At Evolve, our dentists are members of the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (BACD). They deliver dentures that are comfortable and support the principles of smile design. They commit to excellence for every patient, and are passionate about what they do.
Ethical dentistry is dentistry that is correct, appropriate and right for you. Exceptional clinicians are still recommending and delivering dentures every day. So, don’t think it’s an implant-or-nothing – a denture could be life-changing. If you want to know more, we are ready to answer all your questions.
Our Gromits have become quite the local celebrities here at Evolve 🐾💛
So many of you pop into our patient lounge just to see the collection, and we love how much joy they bring to patients of all ages.
At the moment, two of our Gromits seem to have wandered off on an adventure! We’re hoping they simply need a little help finding their way home.
If you happen to spot them locally or see anything that looks like part of our collection being sold, we’d really appreciate you letting us know. You can message us privately or call the practice.
They’re part of what makes Evolve feel like Evolve — and we’d love to have the whole family back together again.
Thank you for always looking out for us 💛

😴 Can snoring affect your oral health?
In our latest Two Thirty video, Maggie answers a question many people don’t think to ask — can snoring impact your teeth and gums?
The short answer is yes, it can.
Snoring is often linked to breathing through your mouth at night, which can cause a dry mouth. Saliva plays an important role in protecting your teeth, so when your mouth is dry, you may be more prone to tooth decay and bad breath.
If you snore and have noticed dryness, increased decay or concerns about your breath, it’s worth mentioning at your next appointment.
Our reception team at Evolve Dentistry in Portishead will be happy to arrange a consultation if you’d like advice.
⏰ Smile hack: When you brush matters
Did you know it’s not just how long you brush — but when you brush — that makes a difference? Maggie shares an important smile hack about timing your toothbrushing properly.
Brushing straight after eating — especially after acidic foods or drinks like fruit, juice or coffee — can actually do more harm than good. Your enamel is slightly softened, and brushing immediately can cause wear.
Maggie explains the best time to brush and why waiting can help protect your teeth long term.
It’s a small change that can make a big difference to your oral health.
How do braces actually work? 🤔

Whether you’re considering braces for yourself or your child, understanding the process can make the journey feel much more reassuring.
