At Superior Smiles, our number one objective is to help you look after your teeth so they last you a lifetime. However, whether it’s because of lifestyle, genetics or an accident, there are times when dentures are required to replace the loss of teeth.

Denture technology has come a long way over the past few years and with advances in imaging and compounds, modern dentures can be virtually undetectable. More importantly, the process of taking impressions and manufacturing means less turnaround time and more comfortable fitting dentures.

Dentures are manufactured from a range of Health Department approved materials including acrylic, nylon, porcelain, resin, or metal, moulded together to fill the spaces of the mouth where teeth are no longer present. The purpose of a denture is to provide the person with the ability to chew food thoroughly to aid proper digestion and to give them a great-looking smile.

The framework of a denture is generally made of acrylic, nylon, or metal. The specific materials used to fabricate your denture framework will depend upon the type of denture you are having placed. This will be discussed with you at the time of your visit.

  After not being to a dentist in many years, I tried to research dentists in my local area and came across the amazing reviews for Superior Smiles and decided to book an appointment with Dr. Rani. I was so happy with the service I received- all the staff were extremely friendly and professional. I felt like I was in very good hands with Dr. Rani, who talked me through every stage of the appointment step by step, in a clear and gentle manner. I have already booked my next appointment to have some minor work done, as I am extremely happy to return to this dentist. Thank you Dr. Rani and team :)

  After experiencing terrible episode with dentist many years ago, I have always kept a wide berth and only go when I am in extreme pain. Had my first visit with Dr Rani  and she was just wonderful, explained everything as she was going I was made aware of cost  and given the option to proceed.
Was very caring and I had no pain what so ever , I still have a couple of more visits to go however no more fear  and for the first time in many years had experience a comfortable time at the dentist. For people who have a morbid fear I can assure you it will be gone after you experience a visit with Dr Rani staff are also wonderful, I will follow up with the six monthly check ups  as required without hesitation. Highly recommend this practice for people who are experiencing anxiety

Can I take my Dentures out?

All dentures need to be kept clean. They are removable so that they can be carefully cleaned using a soft-bristled brush and nonabrasive denture cleanser to remove food, plaque and other deposits. If a denture adhesive is used its best to carefully clean the grooves that fit against your gums to remove any remaining adhesive. Denture cleaners should never be used whilst the denture is still inside the mouth.

How Long Does it Take?

Generally speak and if there are no interfering factors it can take around 6 – 8 weeks.

The whole process will vary from person to person and depends on a range of factors such as the need to remove teeth, is it a partial denture, are implants required, has there been damage to the upper or lower jaw requiring medical intervention.

What If I Have Dentures And They Are Broken Or Are Causing Me Pain?

If you have a broken denture you should come and see us as soon as possible. If you continue to use a broken denture it is likely you may not be able to consume food properly which can lead to digestive issues. Furthermore, a broken denture could cause an injury to your gums, cheeks and/or jaw. Getting it fixed quickly is the best option.

If you find your existing dentures are causing you pain or discomfort it m, may be that have become damaged or there have been changes to the plates or the surfaces of your mouth contact.

An examination by one of our teams will most likely identify the issue and help resolve the cause.

What Types of Dentures Are There?

Dentures are manufactured to the specific needs of a patient’s mouth. In some cases, a person may have lost enough teeth in one part of their mouth and require a partial denture.

Partial Dentures
This type of denture is secured in place by the teeth on either side of the vacant space.

Upper and Lower Dentures.
These dentures are made for people who have no teeth in either the upper or lower jaws or both.

They are placed in the mouth and gels can be used to assist with keeping them firmly in place.

How Do You Make My Dentures?

The first thing to understand is that it’s a painless process. We begin by taking an impression of your teeth, ensuring a custom fit. This moulding is verified at 3 stages before manufacturing the final denture. If you have a partial denture, we will attach it to existing teeth for a secure feel.

What do Dentures Cost?

Denture prices will vary between dental practices and also the materials that are used in their production.

As a general guide, a full set of dentures would generally start at around $2000. Obviously, this price will vary from patient to patient, due to their specific requirements and the materials used. The price quoted is a guide only.

We are confident that our prices are affordable. The specific costs are something we discuss with you at the time of your personal consultation. Most Health Fund providers have benefits built into their plans for Dentures, so it’s best to check with them first. We can even assist you with payment plan options and accessing your Superannuation.
