Complete dentures, also called full dentures, are a type of removable dental prosthesis which replace all natural teeth. Designed to affix to the upper or lower tooth arch, complete dentures are custom-fitted to an individual’s mouth and supported by the gums.
Complete dentures are made with an acrylic base for the gums and an acrylic or composite material for the teeth. They are created through a process of taking impressions of the mouth, creating a mould in wax as a prototype, then casting in acrylic when the design is finalised.
Our mouths are as unique as we are, and finding the perfect fit for every person is crucial for complete dentures to look, feel and function at their best. So, we make your dentures over several appointments, first consulting with you to understand your needs, goals and preferences then customising until you’re 100% happy with them.
We also work with your other dental professionals including dentists, oral surgeons, prosthodontists and periodontists to help you achieve the best possible outcome.
If you have no natural teeth remaining to support a partial dental prosthetic, complete dentures could be the solution for you.
What to expect when you get complete dentures.
We sit down with you and discuss how you would like your new dentures to look. This includes talking about tooth shape, colour, setting, function and anything else that might be important to you.
We provide you with a quote with item numbers for your health fund, so you can easily determine your out-of-pocket expense.
We take an impression of any teeth you may have and your gums so we can start creating your new dentures, which will be custom-made just for you.
Depending on your preference, Steps 1, 2 and 3 can be completed in the same visit.
This is the try-in stage. We set your teeth in wax, giving us the opportunity to review the cosmetics, bite and function of your new dentures. At this stage, we discuss any changes you might like. We encourage you to bring along a friend for this appointment to get their opinion of your new look.
We fit your final dentures, checking for optimal fit, bite and overall comfort.
This is the post-check. We want you to love your new dentures. We encourage you to come back for a final check once you’ve had the chance to wear them.
We’ll happily provide quotes with item numbers for your health fund, for any of the work we undertake.
HICAPS is available, so all health fund payments can be claimed at our clinic.
We encourage you to speak with your health fund so you’re informed about any out-of-pocket expenses.
Send us an enquiry and we’ll get in touch with more information.
John was nervous of all things dental. He had a very rewarding, friendly experience. He got the teeth he wanted at a reasonable price. Highly recommend West St Denture Clinic!
