What are Dentures?
Dentures are custom-made prosthetic teeth that replace several or all missing teeth. They rest on your gums (and in some cases clip to remaining teeth or attach to implants) to restore chewing, speech, and facial support. Today’s Dentures are slimmer, stronger, and more lifelike than ever, giving you a confident smile and practical day-to-day function.
Types of Dentures we offer
- Complete Dentures
Replace a full upper or lower arch. Designed to balance suction, stability, and appearance so you can smile and chew with confidence. - Partial Dentures
Ideal when you still have some natural teeth. Clasps or precision attachments help secure the Dentures without overloading your remaining teeth. - Immediate Dentures
Placed on the same day teeth are removed, so you never go without a smile. As gums heal and shrink, we reline or remake to keep the fit snug. - Implant-retained Dentures (overdentures)
Snap-on Dentures that connect to 2–4 implants for increased stability—especially helpful for the lower jaw where suction is weaker. - Flexible & Metal Framework Dentures
Flexible bases can improve comfort in selected cases; cobalt-chromium frameworks provide a thin, strong base for partial Dentures.
Unsure which option suits you? We’ll explain the pros and cons of each and recommend the Dentures that fit your goals, budget, and timeline.
Your treatment journey
- Consultation & records
We review your health, take photos and X-rays as needed, and discuss how you want your Dentures to look and feel. - Impressions or scans
Accurate moulds or digital scans capture your mouth so your Dentures fit closely and comfortably. - Bite registration & try-in
We record how your jaws meet and trial a wax version of your Dentures so you can see the shape, length, and smile before finalising. - Fit appointment
Your finished Dentures are placed, pressure points are checked, and we fine-tune your bite for comfort. - Reviews & adjustments
As your mouth settles, small refinements make your Dentures feel like they’ve always been there.
Benefits you’ll notice
- Restore chewing so you can enjoy more foods again
- Support lips and cheeks for a fuller, more youthful profile
- Improve speech clarity once you adapt to your new Dentures
- Protect remaining teeth by sharing bite forces evenly
- A budget-friendly pathway to a complete smile—with the option to upgrade to implant-retained Dentures later
Fit, comfort, and appearance
Great Dentures are a blend of science and artistry. We customise tooth shape, shade, and arrangement to suit your face and personality—subtle characterisation avoids the “one-size-fits-all” look. We also check phonetics (how you sound on certain words) and lip support so your Dentures look natural in motion, not just in photos.
Eating and speaking with new Dentures
A short adjustment period is normal. Start with softer foods cut into smaller pieces and chew on both sides to keep Dentures stable. Read aloud for a few minutes daily; most people adapt quickly. If your lower Dentures feel mobile, ask us about implant-retained options for extra confidence.
Care and maintenance
- Rinse after meals and brush Dentures daily with a soft brush—no harsh toothpaste
- Soak overnight in a denture cleanser (plain water if advised) and keep them out while you sleep to let gums rest
- Clean your gums and tongue each morning and night
- See us for a professional check and clean—small adjustments extend the life of your Dentures
- Expect a reline every 1–2 years as gums naturally change; this keeps Dentures fitting snugly
Costs, health funds, and payment options
Fees vary with the type of Dentures, materials, and number of appointments. After your assessment you’ll receive an itemised plan with relevant item numbers for health fund claims, plus flexible, interest-free options for eligible cases. We can also stage treatment—useful if you’re transitioning from immediate to final Dentures.
Who is a good candidate?
If you’re missing multiple teeth, have loose or uncomfortable older Dentures, or want a cost-effective smile solution, you’re likely a candidate. We’ll check gum health, bone levels, and any remaining teeth to plan Dentures that feel comfortable and function well.

FAQs
Yes. We customise tooth shade, size, and arrangement to suit your face. Subtle gum tinting and contouring help Dentures blend seamlessly with your features.
With good care, Dentures typically last 5–8 years before a remake is sensible due to normal wear and gum changes. Relines along the way keep the fit secure.
Well-fitting Dentures usually don’t require adhesive, though a small amount can help during the settling period. If security is a long-term concern, implant-retained Dentures are a great option.
We recommend removing Dentures at night so gums can rest and to reduce infection risk. Store them in water or cleanser as directed.
New Dentures sometimes create pressure points. Don’t “push through”—book a quick adjustment. Bring them in clean and don’t modify them at home.
Yes—after a short adaptation. Begin with softer foods, chew on both sides, and progress as comfort improves. Many patients manage a wide variety of foods with well-fitting Dentures.
Traditional Dentures rest on gums; implant-retained Dentures clip to small implants for added stability, especially useful in the lower jaw.
Brush Dentures daily with a dedicated soft brush and non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse well and soak overnight. Clean your gums and any remaining teeth to keep everything healthy.
With immediate Dentures, yes. We place them right after extractions so you leave with a smile. As gums heal, we reline or remake to ensure a good long-term fit.
Costs depend on the type, materials, and number of visits. You’ll receive a clear, written quote with item numbers before we start your Dentures.
