Dentures in Albion Park
Denture Treatment & Referrals
While we no longer fabricate dentures in-house, we are committed to guiding you through every stage of your treatment. We provide comprehensive assessments, treatment planning, any required extractions, and preparatory procedures to ensure your mouth is healthy and ready for your new denture. We work closely with trusted local prosthetists and specialists to ensure a seamless referral process and excellent outcomes.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are designed to replace one or several missing teeth while preserving your remaining natural teeth.
Our role includes:
Comprehensive examination and treatment planning
Digital X-rays and assessment of remaining teeth
Any necessary fillings, cleans, or gum treatment
Extractions (if required) prior to denture fabrication
Once your mouth is stable and healthy, we will refer you to a trusted prosthetist for the construction and fitting of your custom partial denture.
Full Dentures
Full dentures are used when all teeth in the upper or lower arch need to be replaced. Careful preparation is essential to ensure comfort, fit, and long-term success.
Patients generally have two options:
One: Immediate Dentures
Immediate dentures are made prior to your extractions and inserted on the same day your teeth are removed. This means you are never without teeth during the healing period.
Provides an immediate cosmetic solution
Helps protect healing tissues
Discuss the process for adjustments and relines at the prosthetist as the gums heal and change shape
Two: Dentures After Healing
Alternatively, you may choose to have your dentures made after the gums have fully healed following extractions.
Allows for more accurate fit once healing is complete
May reduce the need for early adjustments
Requires a healing period without teeth (or with a temporary solution discussed in advance)
Our role includes:
Assessment of remaining teeth and gums
Planning and performing required extractions
Discussing the most suitable option for you
Monitoring healing and gum health
Coordinating referral to a qualified local denture professional for fabrication and fitting
Implant-Retained Dentures
Implant-retained dentures offer improved stability and comfort compared to traditional dentures. They are supported by dental implants placed in the jawbone, helping to reduce movement and improve chewing function.
The process generally involves:
Comprehensive consultation and suitability assessment
Treatment planning, quoting and imaging
Placement of dental implants
Healing period to allow implants to integrate with the bone
Referral to denture prosthetist for denture modification or fabrication
Fitting of the implant-retained denture
We provide the initial assessment, treatment planning, and any required extractions or preparatory treatment. When required, we can also refer to experienced implant specialist and prosthetists, ensuring coordinated care throughout the entire process.
