Denture Consultation

Dentures start with careful planning

Dentures are removable appliances designed to replace missing teeth and support your smile, bite and facial shape. They may replace all teeth in an arch, several missing teeth, or provide a temporary option while other treatment is being planned.

The right denture depends on your gums, remaining teeth, bite, jaw shape, budget, appearance goals and whether you want removable dentures or implant-supported options. We explain your options clearly so you can make a practical decision.

Denture Options

Different dentures suit different needs

Some patients need a simple removable option. Others may want more support, improved chewing comfort or an implant-retained option where suitable.

01

Full dentures

Full dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower arch and are made to support your smile, speech and chewing.

02

Partial dentures

Partial dentures replace several missing teeth while using your remaining natural teeth for support where suitable.

03

Immediate dentures

Immediate dentures may be fitted soon after extractions so you are not left without teeth during early healing.

04

Implant-supported dentures

Implants may help improve denture stability and reduce movement for suitable patients who want a firmer fit.

What Matters

A good denture should do more than fill a gap

Dentures should be planned to support everyday function, comfort and appearance as much as possible. That means considering the bite, tooth shape, gum support, shade, smile line and how the denture may sit during speech and chewing.

We also talk openly about limitations. Removable dentures can move, especially lower dentures. If stability is your main concern, implant-supported options may be worth discussing.

  • Tooth replacement options explained clearly
  • Tooth shape and shade planning to suit your face
  • Comfort, speech and chewing considered from the start
  • Implant-supported options discussed where suitable
  • Repair, relining and future maintenance guidance
Types Explained

Which denture option is right for you?

Your dentist will help you compare denture types based on your remaining teeth, bone support, gum health, comfort goals and whether you want a removable or implant-assisted solution.

Acrylic partial dentures

Often used as an affordable or temporary way to replace missing teeth. They can be adjusted over time but may feel bulkier than other options.

Cast metal partial dentures

Often thinner and stronger than acrylic partial dentures where suitable teeth are available for support.

Flexible partial dentures

A flexible option may suit selected cases where comfort and aesthetics around clasps are important.

Implant-retained dentures

Implants may act as anchors to improve retention, especially for patients frustrated with loose lower dentures.

What To Expect

Your denture consultation and treatment process

The goal is to make the process clear before you commit to treatment. You will understand your options, likely steps and maintenance needs.

01

Assess your mouth

We check your gums, remaining teeth, bite, jaw shape and any areas of soreness or instability.

02

Discuss your goals

We ask what matters most: appearance, chewing, speech, stability, comfort, cost or a longer-term solution.

03

Compare options

Your dentist explains removable dentures, partial options, immediate dentures and implant-supported alternatives.

04

Take records

Impressions, scans, bite records, photos or x-rays may be recommended depending on your treatment plan.

05

Try-in and fit

Where suitable, a try-in stage helps check appearance, bite and tooth position before finalising the denture.

06

Adjust and review

New dentures often need adjustments as the mouth adapts. We guide you through fit, cleaning and care.

Implants & Dentures

Loose dentures? Implants may help improve stability

Traditional dentures rely on fit, suction, remaining teeth or gum support. For some patients, especially with lower dentures, movement can still be frustrating.

Implant-supported dentures use dental implants to help hold a denture more securely. This may help some patients feel more secure when eating, speaking and smiling. Suitability depends on your bone, medical history, oral health and goals.

When to ask about implant support

Implant-supported dentures may be worth discussing if removable dentures feel unstable or if you want a firmer long-term option.

  • Your lower denture moves when speaking or eating
  • You avoid certain foods because chewing feels difficult
  • You use adhesive often and still feel unsure
  • You want to compare dentures with fixed implant options
Fees & Payment

Clear denture options before you decide

Denture fees vary depending on the type of denture, materials, number of teeth replaced, whether extractions are needed and whether implant support is part of the plan.

After your consultation, we explain your options and provide a clear treatment estimate. DVA may apply for eligible patients, and payment options can be discussed before treatment starts.

  • Full, partial and immediate denture estimates
  • Implant-supported denture planning where suitable
  • DVA accepted for eligible patients
  • Payment options discussed before treatment
Denture Maintenance

New dentures need care, reviews and adjustments

It is normal for dentures to need adjustments, especially when they are new or when your gums change after extractions. Follow-up care helps improve comfort and reduce sore spots.

Over time, dentures may also need relining, repair or replacement as your mouth changes. Regular dental checks are still important, even if you no longer have natural teeth.

Cleaning

Daily cleaning helps reduce plaque, odour, staining and irritation to the gums and soft tissues.

Adjustments

Small adjustments can help relieve pressure spots and improve comfort after the denture settles.

Relines

A reline may be needed if the gums shrink or the denture becomes loose over time.

Reviews

Routine reviews help check fit, gum health, bite changes and whether the denture is still serving you well.

Risks, suitability and recovery

Dentures may not be suitable for every patient in the same way. Possible risks, adjustment time, maintenance needs and alternatives vary depending on your gums, bone support, remaining teeth, bite, oral health, medical history and treatment plan.

New dentures may feel different at first and can require adjustments, relines or replacement over time as your mouth changes. Implant-supported dentures involve additional surgical considerations and are only recommended after assessment.

Your dentist will assess your individual situation and discuss suitable options, risks, alternatives, expected adjustment time and costs before treatment. You can also read our general treatment risks, suitability and recovery information.

Dentures FAQs

Questions patients often ask

What types of dentures do you offer?

We can discuss full dentures, partial dentures, immediate dentures and implant-supported dentures. The right option depends on your remaining teeth, gum health, jaw support, comfort goals and budget.

What is the difference between full and partial dentures?

Full dentures replace all teeth in an upper or lower arch. Partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth while some natural teeth remain. Partial dentures may be acrylic, metal-framed or flexible depending on suitability.

Are implant-supported dentures better?

Implant-supported dentures may provide more stability for suitable patients, especially when a lower denture feels loose. They are not suitable for everyone, so an assessment is needed before planning.

What are immediate dentures?

Immediate dentures are made before teeth are removed and fitted soon after extractions where suitable. They may help avoid being without teeth during early healing, although adjustments or relines may be needed as the gums change.

Will my dentures look natural?

Dentures are planned around tooth shape, shade, lip support, bite and smile line. The aim is an appearance that suits your face, but outcomes vary depending on your mouth, gum support and treatment plan.

How long does it take to get dentures?

The timeframe depends on the type of denture and whether extractions, healing or try-in stages are needed. Some immediate dentures are planned before extractions, while conventional dentures usually involve several appointments.

Will new dentures feel uncomfortable?

New dentures can feel different at first. Some patients need time to adapt, and small adjustments may be needed to relieve pressure spots or improve comfort.

Can dentures be repaired or relined?

Many dentures can be repaired or relined depending on their condition. A reline may help if your denture has become loose because your gums or jaw shape have changed.

Should I choose dentures or dental implants?

That depends on your oral health, bone support, budget, comfort goals and whether you prefer a removable or fixed solution. Dentures may be more affordable, while implants may offer more support for suitable patients.

Do you accept DVA for dentures?

DVA may apply for eligible Gold and White Card holders, depending on the treatment and approval requirements. We can help explain the process during your consultation.
