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.
🪥 Do your gums bleed when you brush your teeth?
Many people think a little bleeding is normal, but it’s often your gums’ way of telling you that something isn’t quite right.
In this video, Dr Richard Ford explains some of the most common reasons gums bleed and what you can do to improve your gum health at home.
The good news is that, in many cases, bleeding gums can be improved with the right oral hygiene routine and professional support.

🦷 Dental myth or dental fact? 🤔
One of the most common myths we hear is that teeth whitening is bad for your teeth.
In this video, Maggie explains why professionally prescribed teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to brighten your smile when carried out under the guidance of a dental professional.
Unfortunately, misinformation can stop people from exploring treatments that could help them feel more confident about their smile. That’s why we’re passionate about sharing trusted advice and helping patients make informed decisions about their oral health.

🥤 Are sugary drinks really bad for your teeth?
It’s a question we hear all the time.
In this video, our Therapist Flora explains how sugary drinks can affect your teeth and why it’s not just the amount of sugar that matters, but how often you’re having it throughout the day.
The good news? You don’t have to give up all your favourite drinks. A few simple changes can make a big difference to your oral health.

At Evolve, we’re incredibly proud of our team - not just for the care they provide to our patients, but for the difference they make beyond the practice too. 💜
On 30 July, our wonderful dental nurse, Kayse, and her brother will be taking on an incredible challenge by completing a charity skydive in support of Alzheimer’s Research UK.
They’re stepping well outside their comfort zones to raise money for a cause that means so much. Alzheimer’s and dementia affect millions of families, taking away precious memories and changing lives forever. By supporting Alzheimer’s Research UK, they’re helping to fund vital research into better treatments and, one day, a cure.
Their fundraising target is £650, and every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a real difference.
If you’d like to support Kayse and her brother, you can donate here:

Good luck with the jump Kayse - we know you’ll be amazing! ✈️💜

“How long will it take?” 🤔
It’s one of the first questions we hear from patients considering teeth straightening - and the honest answer is that every smile is different.
Some patients achieve their desired results in as little as six months, while more complex cases may take longer. The good news is that modern orthodontic treatment is carefully planned from the start, so you’ll have a clear idea of what to expect before treatment begins.
At Evolve Dentistry, we’ll assess your smile, discuss your goals and create a personalised treatment plan tailored to you.
Whether you’re looking to correct crowding, close gaps or improve the overall appearance of your smile, the journey may be shorter than you think.

At Evolve, we know that looking after your wellbeing is an important part of living a happy, healthy life.
So, here’s our question:
