Get High-Quality Dentures in Coorparoo

Dentures can provide a comfortable and secure replacement for missing teeth at any age.

If you have lost one, multiple, or all of your teeth due to injury, trauma, decay, or age, modern dentures can be a cost-effective way to replace them and restore the functionality of your smile. Your friendly dentist at Complete Dental in Coorparoo will help you find the option that is right for you so you can smile again with confidence.

What Are Full and Partial Dentures?

There are two different types of dentures available: full and partial dentures. No matter which one you and your dentist decide on, they will be custom-made to suit and fit your mouth perfectly, ensuring a natural appearance.

Full dentures are usually the recommended option if you are missing many or all of your teeth along your upper or lower jaw. They may require the removal of remaining teeth in the arch for optimum results and to fit securely over the gums.

Full dentures are typically held in place over the palate using a clear, pink-coloured, or metal appliance. Many patients prefer more subtle options as they are concerned with the visibility of dentures when yawning or laughing.

Partial dentures, as the name suggests, are used to replace partial sections of your teeth where one or several teeth are missing. Partial dentures help reduce the pressure on your remaining teeth by distributing the forces of everyday activities—like chewing or grinding—more evenly.

These dentures can be secured to the existing teeth or held in place using a custom-moulded, flesh-coloured, or metal plate that fits around the gum line and palate.

At Complete Dental in Coorparoo, we understand the importance of dentures and denture-related concerns. That is why we work hard to ensure that the colours and shapes of your dentures closely match your natural teeth and gums for a seamless blend.

What Types of Dentures Are Available?

At Complete Dental in Coorparoo, we offer Valplast, Immediate, and Conventional dentures.

Partial dentures can be secured using a metal framework that clasps onto your natural teeth. However, as this is generally quite visible, many patients now opt for a contemporary form of partial denture called Valplast. These use a flexible plastic material to fit neatly and securely into your mouth, making them virtually invisible.

How to Clean and Look After Dentures?

Denture care is essential for maintaining their longevity and function. Most patients find cleaning and looking after dentures easy, as the appliances are removable. Dentures should be cleaned regularly, just like natural teeth, using special denture toothpastes available on the market.

Denture soaking solutions are also recommended to ensure their cleanliness and longevity. It is important to handle your dentures carefully to prevent bending out of shape or damage. Once the dentures are removed, use a soft toothbrush or gauze to gently clean the gums and surrounding soft tissue.

If you have never had a denture before, it can feel quite different having a foreign appliance in the mouth. Most people adjust quickly to removable dentures, but they are not for everyone. Your dentist will guide you on what to expect and how to care for your new false teeth properly.

Dedicating time to proper maintenance each day helps preserve the fit, function, and appearance of your dentures. Coorparoo patients can rely on our professional advice and support to ensure their dentures remain comfortable and well-maintained.

At Complete Dental in Coorparoo, we endeavour to provide trouble-free dentures that enhance both function and aesthetics. If you have any questions or would like to book a consultation, please don’t hesitate to contact our friendly team.
