Designed for comfort, stability, and aesthetics, our dentures provide a natural-looking solution for missing teeth, helping you enjoy eating, speaking, and smiling without discomfort.
What Are Removable Dentures?
Removable dentures are prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth and restore the appearance and function of your smile. Whether you’re missing a few teeth or an entire arch, dentures offer a cost-effective and reliable solution.
Losing teeth can impact both your confidence and oral health, leading to difficulty chewing, shifting teeth, and jawbone deterioration. Our expert dentists at Melbourne Street Dental Studio carefully design and fit your dentures to ensure a comfortable, functional, and natural-looking result.
How Are Dentures Made?
The process of creating removable dentures typically involves:
- Comprehensive Consultation – We assess your oral health and determine the best type of denture for your needs.
- Precise Impressions – Multiple impressions and measurements are taken to ensure a perfect fit.
- Custom Fabrication – A model is created for you to try on, allowing for adjustments before the final denture is crafted.
- Final Fitting – Once perfected, your final denture is placed, giving you a seamless and comfortable smile.
Types of Removable Dentures
1. Complete (Full) Dentures
Full dentures are designed for patients who have lost all their teeth in one or both arches. They come in two main types:
✔ Immediate Dentures – Placed immediately after tooth extractions, allowing you to avoid being without teeth during the healing period. However, as gums shrink over time, these may require adjustments.
✔ Conventional Dentures – Created 8 to 12 weeks after extractions to ensure a more precise and long-term fit.
For enhanced stability and comfort, implant-supported overdentures can be used, where two or more dental implants help secure the denture in place.
2. Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are ideal for patients missing only a few teeth. They are custom-designed with gum-colored bases and can be secured using:
✔ Clasps – Attach to surrounding natural teeth for support.
✔ Precision Attachments – A more discreet and aesthetic alternative to metal clasps.
There are two main types of removable partial dentures:
✔ Transitional Partial Dentures – Temporary plastic dentures used while the mouth heals from extractions before dental implants are placed.
✔ Permanent Partial Dentures – Lightweight and durable, often made of vitallium, providing a comfortable long-term solution.
Denture Material Options
We offer two main types of denture materials, each with its own benefits:
1. Acrylic Dentures
- Ideal for patients with no remaining teeth.
- Can be easily adjusted or modified.
- Provides a secure and natural appearance.
2. Chrome Cobalt Dentures
- Stronger, thinner, and more durable than acrylic dentures.
- Best for partial dentures as they rely on remaining teeth for support.
- Less bulky and more comfortable for daily wear.
