Dentistry 
At Evolve Dentistry in Portishead, we recognise the pivotal role a smile plays in boosting confidence and overall well-being. For those who have lost their natural teeth, dentures are a transformative solution. However, a common query arises: What is the waiting period for dentures if you’ve lost all your teeth? This blog post aims to illuminate the denture journey and delve into the timeline associated with getting your new dentures.
The Initial Consultation:
Commencing your denture journey at Evolve Dentistry involves the crucial first step of the initial consultation. During this session, our experienced dentist, Mike Gregory, meticulously evaluates your oral health, delves into your medical history, and identifies the most suitable type of dentures tailored to your unique needs.
This initial assessment is pivotal in formulating a personalised treatment plan, ensuring your dentures are not only comfortable but also resemble your natural smile. Typically lasting 40 minutes, this consultation lays the foundation for your denture journey.
Impressions:
After establishing your treatment plan, the subsequent phase revolves around preparing for the denture fitting, which includes taking impressions of your gums and jaw. These impressions serve as the blueprint for crafting dentures. Mike uses these impressions to create models and a specialised tray for more detailed impressions at your next appointment.
This follow-up appointment typically occurs within a week or two of your consultation with Mike, who ensure’s the process is both comfortable and efficient.
Secondary Impressions:
Ahead of your next appointment, Mike will create mock-ups of your new dentures to guarantee your satisfaction with the fit before handcrafting your final set. During this session, secondary impressions are taken to ensure your new dentures will fit you flawlessly.
Try in appointment:
Once your secondary impressions have been taken, your dentures are then created in wax so that they can be checked in your mouth and that they look natural for your face and smile. Once both you and Mike are happy with the trial stage, only then do you move to the final fit.
Final Denture Fitting:
At your final appointment, Mike will fit your new dentures, so you can leave with a radiant new smile. A follow-up appointment is scheduled to ensure the dentures fit perfectly and that you are entirely happy with them.
Embarking on your denture journey is a big step toward reclaiming your smile and confidence. At Evolve Dentistry in Portishead, we strive to make this process seamless and comfortable. While the timeline may vary based on individual factors, our dedicated team is committed to guiding you through each stage, ensuring you get the radiant smile you deserve. If you have questions or are contemplating dentures, we invite you to book a consultation with us for more information.

If you’re considering replacing an amalgam filling, you may have come across the term SMART.
SMART stands for Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique. It is a protocol designed to reduce exposure to mercury vapour and particles while an amalgam filling is being removed.
At Evolve, SMART amalgam removal is available for adults who have made an informed decision to replace their amalgam fillings.
Importantly, we don’t suggest that everyone should have their amalgam fillings removed, and we don’t make claims that removing them will improve your general health.
Swipe through for a simple explanation of what the SMART approach involves.

If you’ve never visited Evolve before, here’s a little look around.
We know that walking into a new dental practice can feel daunting, particularly if it’s been a while since your last appointment.
We’ve designed Evolve to feel calm, welcoming and a little different from what you might expect from a dental practice.
But the most important part isn’t the building. It’s how you’re made to feel when you’re here.
Come in, make yourself comfortable in our patient lounge and let us look after you.

Gum disease can be surprisingly easy to overlook.
Bleeding when you brush, red or swollen gums, persistent bad breath or gums that seem to be receding are all things worth paying attention to.
The important thing is not to wait until something hurts. Gum disease can develop without causing pain, which is one reason regular dental and hygiene appointments matter.
In this short video, Yasmin explains some of the signs to look out for.
If you’ve noticed a change in your gums, mention it at your next appointment or get in touch with the team.

🦷 Day one, first clinic!
Carol has sent us the first photos from her trip — and what a first day it’s been!
Working alongside five other dentists, the team saw an incredible 197 patients in just one day. ❤️
In Carol’s words:
“I’ve taken out more teeth today than I have in the past year!”
A very different day in dentistry from the ones Carol is used to back home at Evolve, and a reminder of just how much need there is for the care the team is providing.
We’re so proud of her — and we’ll be sharing more updates and photos from Carol’s trip as they come in. 🌍🦷

Ever run your tongue over your teeth and wonder why they suddenly feel rough?
There are a few possible reasons, from plaque build-up to changes in the surface of a tooth.
In this short video, Yasmin explains some of the common causes and when it’s worth mentioning it to your dentist.
Noticing small changes in your mouth is useful. You don’t need to diagnose them yourself, but do tell us if something feels different.
