Full & Partial Denture

We offer both full & partial dentures for all patients

Do you need your dentures replaced or do you need new dentures?

Either way, we can help you or your loved one get their perfect smile back.

Dentures are a non-invasive way to replace missing teeth. Our dentures are made-to-measure to ensure a perfect fit for all patients. Dentures are not always for the elderly.

Depending on what has happened in your life you may need them at a younger age. Due to poor health, unforeseen accidents and so on.

If you are missing teeth, then a denture could help to fill the gap to ensure you have a full smile again. Missing teeth can cause your face to droop and make you appear older than you are.

A denture can fill the caps in your mouth to give you a full smile that allows you to still enjoy food and drink.

Dentures are removable false teeth, they can look like the images below.

At Paralowie Dental we have been fitting dentures for over 17 years to patients in the northern suburbs of Adelaide. If you are looking for expert dentists in this field, you have come to the right place.

Benefits of Dentures

Dentures provide an effective solution for replacing missing teeth, restoring function and aesthetics. Some key benefits include:

  • Enhanced Appearance: Dentures restore facial structure, preventing the sunken appearance that often occurs when teeth are missing. They provide a natural, aesthetically pleasing smile. Which has the added benefit of improving your confidence.
  • Improved Chewing and Speaking Ability: Missing teeth can make eating and speaking difficult. Dentures restore functionality, allowing for a more natural eating experience and clearer speech.
  • Cost-Effective Tooth Replacement Option: Compared to other restorative options like dental implants, dentures are often more affordable while still providing effective results.
  • Custom Fit for Comfort: Modern dentures are designed to be lightweight and comfortable, ensuring a snug and secure fit for daily wear.
  • Supports Oral Health: Dentures help distribute bite pressure evenly and prevent remaining natural teeth (if any) from shifting out of position.

By choosing dentures, you can enjoy improved confidence, better oral function, and a comfortable, natural-looking solution to missing teeth.

The Denture Fitting Process

Getting dentures is a multi-step process designed to ensure a perfect fit. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Initial Consultation: The dentist will assess your oral health, discuss your needs, and recommend the best type of dentures for you (full, partial, immediate, or implant-supported dentures).
  • Dental Impressions: If dentures are the right solution for you, precise impressions of your gums and any remaining teeth will be taken to create a model for your custom dentures.
The Denture Fitting Process
  • Try-In & Adjustments: A wax model of your dentures will be created, allowing you to try them on to assess the fit and appearance. Any necessary adjustments will be made at this stage.
  • Final Fitting: Once your custom dentures are fabricated, your dentist will fit them into place, ensuring comfort and stability.
  • Follow-Up & Adjustments: After wearing your new dentures, you may require minor adjustments as your mouth adapts to them. Your dentist will schedule follow-up visits to refine the fit.

This process ensures your dentures are comfortable, functional, and provide a natural-looking smile.

Proper denture care is essential to maintain their longevity and keep your mouth healthy. Follow these key care tips:

  • Daily Cleaning: Clean your dentures daily using a soft-bristled toothbrush and a denture-specific cleaner. Avoid using regular toothpaste, as it can be too abrasive.
  • Soak Overnight: Keep your dentures in a glass of water or a denture-soaking solution overnight to maintain their shape and prevent drying out.
  • Maintain Oral Hygiene: Even if you wear full dentures, it’s important to clean your gums, tongue, and any remaining natural teeth daily to prevent bacterial buildup and infections.
  • Handle with Care: Dentures can break if dropped. Always handle them over a soft surface or a basin filled with water to prevent damage.
  • Regular Check-Ups: Visit your dentist regularly to ensure your dentures remain in good condition and your oral health is maintained. Over time, your gums and jawbone may change, requiring adjustments or replacements.

Following these care instructions will help keep your dentures looking and feeling great for years to come.

It takes time for your mouth and muscles to adjust to wearing dentures. Here are some tips to ease the transition:

  • Eat Soft Foods First: Start with soft foods and cut them into small pieces to make chewing easier. Gradually reintroduce firmer foods as you adjust.
  • Practice Speaking: Reading aloud and practicing pronunciation can help you get used to speaking with dentures. Over time, your tongue and facial muscles will adapt.
  • Wear Them Regularly: The more you wear your dentures, the faster your mouth will adjust. However, if discomfort persists, visit your dentist for adjustments.
  • Use a Denture Adhesive if Needed: A denture adhesive may help with stability and confidence while eating or speaking, but it should not replace a well-fitted denture.

Most patients adapt to their new dentures within a few weeks, but patience is key. Your dentist can help with any persistent discomfort or fit issues.

It’s normal to experience minor challenges when first wearing dentures. Here’s how to address some of the most common concerns:

  • Sore Spots or Discomfort: Some irritation is normal in the beginning. Rinsing with warm salt water can help, and your dentist can make adjustments to improve the fit.
  • Slippage or Loose Dentures: If your dentures feel loose, a reline or denture adhesive may help. Over time, your gums and bone structure may change, requiring professional adjustments.
  • Difficulty Eating Certain Foods: Chewing with both sides of your mouth evenly can help keep dentures stable. Avoid sticky or hard foods until you become accustomed to eating with dentures.
  • Excess Saliva Production: Your mouth may produce more saliva initially, but this will normalize as you adjust to wearing dentures.
  • Denture Staining or Odor: Regular cleaning and soaking will prevent discoloration and odors. Avoid smoking and excessive coffee or tea consumption to keep your dentures looking fresh.

If problems persist, schedule an appointment with your dentist for a professional evaluation and adjustments.
