Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth, crafted from durable acrylic or other advanced materials. They are designed to look and function like your natural teeth, restoring your ability to chew, speak, and smile comfortably.
Whether you're missing a few teeth or an entire arch, dentures offer a practical and effective way to regain full oral function.
There are two primary types of dentures available depending on your individual dental needs: full dentures and partial dentures. Both are designed with precision to ensure comfort, stability, and a natural look that blends seamlessly with your existing teeth and facial structure.
Full dentures (also known as complete dentures) are used when all natural teeth in the upper or lower jaw are missing. They sit comfortably on the gums, restoring your full smile and supporting your facial muscles to maintain a natural appearance. Modern full dentures are lightweight and custom-fitted for better comfort and performance.
Partial dentures are ideal for individuals missing a few teeth but still have some natural teeth remaining. They are attached securely to the surrounding teeth using precision attachments or metal clasps, offering excellent stability and comfort. Partial dentures help fill gaps, restore function, and prevent your remaining teeth from shifting out of place.
Immediate dentures are provided right after tooth extraction, allowing you to leave the dental clinic with a complete smile the same day. They can be either full or partial and are fitted immediately after tooth removal. Since your gums and bone structure may change as they heal, a reline or adjustment may be needed after a few months to maintain a secure fit.
Dentures not only restore your smile but also improve your overall oral health and confidence. Some key benefits include:
Restoring your ability to chew and eat comfortably
Improving speech clarity
Supporting facial muscles and preventing a sunken appearance
Reducing stress on the jaw joints
Preventing remaining natural teeth from shifting out of position
Enhancing overall appearance and confidence
There are two main types: full (complete) dentures for those missing all teeth in an arch, and partial dentures for those missing only a few. Both types are custom-made to look natural and fit comfortably.
Most patients adapt to dentures within a few weeks. You might feel some initial discomfort, but as your mouth muscles adjust, they'll begin to feel natural.
Yes. Start with softer foods and small bites, chewing slowly on both sides. As you adjust, you can reintroduce harder or chewier foods. Avoid sticky items that may loosen your dentures.
Clean dentures daily with a soft brush and mild cleanser, rinse after meals, and soak them overnight in a denture-cleaning solution. Also, gently brush your gums and tongue to maintain oral hygiene.
Some people experience slight speech changes at first. Reading aloud or practicing specific words helps your mouth adjust quickly to the new fit.
Dentures usually last around 5–7 years but may require earlier replacement or relining due to changes in your gums or jaw shape. Regular dental visits help ensure a consistent fit.
Dentures can bring back your confidence and comfort — helping you smile, eat, and speak naturally again. For personalised denture care in Brisbane, contact our dental team to schedule your consultation.
