Denture Clinic Port Macquarie

Q: What is the difference between temporary and partial dentures?

Partial dentures are for people that still have most of their own teeth but have lost a few. They fit into the mouth alongside their teeth to create a full, confident smile. Temporary dentures are made to bridge the gap between an extraction and an implant. This makes it easier to chew food while you wait for your extraction to heal.

Q: Do I need a referral?

You do not need a referral from your dentist to book a consultation with us. All you have to do is call the clinic and we will schedule an appointment that is convenient for you.

Q: Do my dentures have to look like my natural teeth?

If you are getting a complete set of dentures , we usually work from a mould of your original teeth that is taken before you have any extractions. However, we can also construct dentures that improve your natural teeth.

Wide Variety Of Denture Options Available

Temporary Dentures

If you’ve recently had an extraction or suffered an injury and are waiting for healing to occur before an implant or bridge is fitted, we can help. Our denture clinic provides temporary dentures that can last until you’re ready for permanent reconstructive treatment. Temporary dentures can improve the appearance of your smile, as well as make it easier to chew normally.

Full Dentures

A full denture is intended to replace all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw. Some people may have two full dentures, others just one. Using accurate impressions, our technicians will craft dentures that are a perfect fit for your mouth’s contours.

Partial Dentures

If you’ve got a few teeth missing, but still have enough to make a full denture inappropriate, turn to us for a partial denture. This is a plate that has a number of prosthetic teeth mounted on it. Once in place, wearers have a natural smile without gaps and find it easier to eat.

Our partial dentures are colour-matched to your existing teeth – when you’re wearing one of our dentures, it’s virtually impossible to distinguish between the prosthetic teeth and any natural teeth you may have.

Denture Repairs and Relining

Over time, the shape of your gums and oral cavity can change. If you wear dentures, this can lead to painful chafing, sore spots or a looser fit. The best way to solve these issues is to reline the denture, adding a layer of acrylic resin that’s contoured to your current gum shape. We complete most relining jobs the same day, minimising the time you’re without your dental prosthetics.

As well as relines, we can also fix fractured denture plates, repair chips in the prosthetic teeth and complete most other denture repairs. Once repaired, the denture will still be fully functional. Any cosmetic repairs will be colour-matched so that they’re virtually invisible.

FAQs

What is the difference between temporary and partial dentures?

Partial dentures are for people that still have most of their own teeth but have lost a few. They fit into the mouth alongside their teeth to create a full, confident smile. Temporary dentures are made to bridge the gap between an extraction and an implant. This makes it easier to chew food while you wait for your extraction to heal.

How long will it take to make my dentures?

The amount of time it takes to make comfortable dentures will vary on the type of denture you need and your oral health. We have an on-site lab where we make most of our dentures, and are proud to be able to offer same-day repairs in most cases. Book your initial consultation for an accurate estimate.

Do I need a referral?

You do not need a referral from your dentist to book a consultation with us. All you have to do is call the clinic and we will schedule an appointment that is convenient for you.

Why do I need my dentures checked?

Over time the shape of your mouth and gums can change. If this happens your dentures may feel uncomfortable when you chew or speak. We can reline dentures so that they are up to date for an accurate fit. We can also repair damage to dentures if they fracture or chip. We recommend calling the clinic as soon as possible to arrange relining and repairs.

How do I pay for dentures?

Medicare will usually cover the cost of a full denture and any future repairs and maintenance. Unfortunately, this is not the case with partial dentures. We offer affordable payment plans for all of our services and we can discuss payment options over the phone or at your first consultation.

Will people be able to tell I am wearing dentures?

With our expert dental prosthetists, we make sure that your dentures look as natural as possible. As part of the process with partial dentures, we will colour-match the dentures so that they blend in with your natural teeth. This allows you to feel confident when you smile, eat and speak.
