Dentures Melbourne

Rejuvenate your smile with our trusted denture solutions

At the Denture Care Centre, our expert prosthetists transform lives with custom-made dentures that restore oral health, confidence and a natural-looking smile. Our Melbourne clinic offers full and partial dentures tailored to each patient’s needs, ensuring comfortable chewing, speaking and a youthful appearance.

By filling gaps left by missing teeth, dentures provide numerous health benefits and aesthetic enhancements. They support facial structure, preventing sagging and defining the cheeks and lips. With advancements in technology and materials, our dentures are designed for optimal comfort and a natural fit, giving you a radiant smile that revitalises your entire face.

Full Denture Melbourne

Losing most of your natural teeth doesn’t mean sacrificing your smile. At our Melbourne clinic, full dentures offer a reliable solution, replacing entire upper and/or lower arches of teeth. We provide two convenient options: conventional and immediate full dentures.

Conventional full dentures are fitted 8-12 weeks after tooth removal, allowing gum tissue to heal. During this period, patients go without teeth. Alternatively, immediate full dentures ensure uninterrupted smile confidence, fitted directly after tooth removal. Please note that as your gums heal and bone reshapes, your denture may require realignment to maintain a secure fit.

Partial Dentures

Missing several teeth? Partial dentures offer a convenient solution. These removable dentures replace only the missing teeth, restoring your natural smile. We provide two options:

Metal partial dentures, crafted from durable Cobalt Chrome or Titanium, offer long-lasting support.

Acrylic partial dentures, made from hard or flexible acrylic, provide an aesthetically pleasing alternative, ideal for smaller gaps.
Flexible partial dentures are particularly suited for those missing a few teeth, minimising visible retainers and clasps.

Denture Relines

Over time, gum tissue shrinkage can cause dentures to loosen. To restore a secure fit, our prosthetists reline the denture’s fitting surface, contouring it to your gum line. Regular check-ups (every 2 years) ensure optimal comfort and prevent irritation.

Denture Repairs

We understand the importance of reliable dentures. That’s why we offer same-day repairs. If your dentures break, trust our expert prosthetists to efficiently restore them, getting you back to living confidently and comfortably.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often do dentures need to be replaced?

Dentures typically need to be replaced every 6 to 7 years. Over time, wear and tear, as well as natural changes in the shape of your gums and jawbone, can affect how your dentures fit. Regular replacement ensures comfort, proper function, and maintains facial support.

How often do dentures need to be checked?

It is recommended to have your dentures checked by a professional every 12 to 18 months. These check-ups allow for early detection of any issues, adjustments to improve fit, and monitoring of your oral health and gum condition.

What is a denture reline?

A denture reline involves resurfacing the inner part of the denture that rests against your gums. As your gums naturally shrink and change shape over time, a reline restores the fit, improving comfort and functionality without replacing the entire denture.

Can dentures be repaired?

Yes, dentures can usually be repaired if they are cracked, chipped, or broken. In many cases, repairs can be done on the same day, restoring the function and appearance of the denture quickly and conveniently.

Should dentures be worn at night?

It is generally advised to remove your dentures while sleeping. Taking them out overnight allows your gums and mouth tissues to rest and recover, which can help prevent irritation and promote better oral health.

Can dentures be made straight after extractions?

Yes, dentures can be made and inserted immediately following tooth extractions. These are called immediate dentures. Planning is essential and involves coordination between your Dental Prosthetist and Dentist to ensure the denture is ready at the time of the procedure.

What is a flexible denture?

Flexible dentures are made from thermoplastic materials like Valplast, which is a type of nylon. They tend to be more comfortable, secure, and aesthetic than traditional acrylic or metal dentures, especially for partial tooth replacement, as they don’t require visible metal clasps.

How should I clean my dentures?

Dentures should be cleaned daily using a soft denture brush and non-abrasive denture cleanser. Avoid using regular toothpaste, which can be too harsh. Rinse them thoroughly after meals and soak them overnight in a denture-cleaning solution.

What should I do if my dentures feel loose?

If your dentures become loose, it’s important to visit a Dental Prosthetist for assessment. Loose dentures may require a reline, adjustment, or replacement. Continuing to wear ill-fitting dentures can cause sore spots and long-term oral issues.

Can I eat normally with dentures?

Most people adapt well to eating with dentures, though it may take some time to get used to them. Start with softer foods and chew evenly on both sides. Over time, you’ll be able to enjoy a wider variety of foods with confidence.
