If you are missing several teeth or a complete arch of teeth, carefully crafted dentures can replace the function and appearance of your natural teeth. Our denture technicians handcraft dentures based upon the dentist’s prescription, following a thorough assessment and analysis of your mouth. Our natural-looking complete dentures are comfortable and designed to fit perfectly. If you only have a few missing teeth then a partial denture can be made to fill the gap.
Dentures are custom made for each individual patient. They can be partial (if you still have some of your own teeth) or full (if you have no remaining teeth).
Dentures are made out of acrylic or metal (chrome based).
Different materials are more suitable than others in certain circumstances. We can advise you on what options are available.
When teeth are missing and gaps cannot be filled with something fixed, such as bridges, a denture may be a solution.
For patients that want rock-solid dentures that don’t slip, we recommend implant-retained dentures. The placement of two to four dental implants in the upper or lower jaw can secure a denture firmly in place
Most denture wearers will agree that the main disadvantage of regular dentures is that they often shift position. This causes discomfort as well as affecting speech and limits the types of food you can eat.
Every denture is custom made to accurately fit each patient. We work in conjunction with a skilled dental technician to produce a result that feels comfortable and looks good. Making a denture usually takes five or six visits to our practice.
Step 1 – Have impressions taken to have customised trays made that only fit you.
Step 2 – Use these customised trays to take accurate impressions of your mouth and register your bite.
Step 3 – Try in your denture and see if you are happy with the look.
Step 4 – Get your final denture back and smile.
Step 5 – Review appointment to see if any adjustments are needed.
Step 6 – Eat and smile freely.
For patients that want rock-solid dentures that don’t slip, we recommend implant-retained dentures. The placement of two to four dental implants in the upper or lower jaw can secure a denture firmly in place.
If you want a denture or need to replace your existing loose one, or even considering an implant retained denture then book in for a new patient examination to help guide you further.
