Partial Dentures Gold Coast
At Dentures at Varsity, we understand the implications that even the loss of a single tooth can have for a patient’s self-confidence. We specialise in the creation of high quality removable partial dentures at our Gold Coast clinic that possess the same qualities as natural teeth, enabling patients to eat, speak and smile again with complete confidence, once more. The authentic look and feel of our partial prosthesis solutions allay any concerns that patients may have about getting prosthetic teeth.
Why Do Teeth Need to be Replaced?
Even the loss of a single tooth can have disastrous consequences for your existing teeth and have a dramatic effect on your overall oral health. When a tooth falls out, it causes the surrounding teeth to become crooked, upsetting the alignment of your upper and lower teeth. This can create difficulties when chewing, aggravating nearby muscles and causing pain in the temporomandibular joint
The Benefits of Partial Dentures
Our range of premium quality partial dental prosthesis solutions offer the following benefits:
- Thwart additional damage to existing teeth
- Prevent existing teeth from becoming crooked
- Revitalise your smile and improve your overall appearance
- Correct any speech issues attributed to the loss of teeth
- Ensure that eating food is a more satisfying experience
- Help protect against TMJ pain.
- Partial plates are an ideal solution for patients who still have natural teeth
- Can be easily removed and replaced
- Contain a denture base that closely resembles the colour of your gums
Dentures That Look and Feel Like Natural Teeth
All of our partial dentures are precision made and composed of the highest quality materials. Each set of dentures is meticulously arranged by hand, by our highly trained dental technicians who carefully fuse the teeth onto either a polymer base that closely replicates the colour of your existing gums or a lightweight alloy. Our prosthetic teeth emulate the look and feel of natural teeth, allowing patients to enjoy a renewed sense of self-confidence.
Our Partial Dentures
Chrome and Partial Dentures
There are several options when it comes to Gold Coast partial dentures, we offer the following: cast metal (chrome cobalt dentures), flexible partial dentures and acrylic partial dentures. The cast metal option and the flexible partials are our best partials.
Partial Dentures Chrome
Chrome partial dentures are stronger, less bulky and provides a great fit. This partial has a metal framework to which our on-site laboratory will attach higher-quality denture teeth. This is a great option for patient who like smaller appliances in their mouth, due to the strength these types of dentures do last a lot longer than acrylic partials.
Flexible Partial
Flexible partial dentures are made from a special material that gives you added comfort and fit. Ideal if you don’t like the feel of rigidity in your mouth and it’s a great way to have a seamless smile.
Acrylic Partial Denture
Acrylic partial dentures are more affordable, but they tend to feel more bulky. This partial has an acrylic base into which the denture teeth are set and is attached to your natural teeth with small metal clasps.
The Need to See a Prosthetist
When seeking to obtain a set of partial dentures, patients must first consult with their dentist. Your dentist will inspect your mouth to determine if there are any issues that need to be tended to, such as gum disease, tooth decay or tooth loss. Your dentist will collaborate with our dental technicians to devise a customised treatment plan for you. If it’s discovered that you do require dental treatment, our technicians will have to be certain that your existing teeth are able to support the kind of partial denture that you need.
Working with your dentist, we’ll be able to maximise the longevity of your natural teeth, using them to help strengthen and fortify your partial dentures. This close relationship guarantees the possible outcome for you. Your dentist will ensure that your teeth and gums remain in tip top condition and will advise you on how best to take care of your remaining natural teeth.
Before we create a set of partial dentures for you, the following will first be considered:
Do I need a referral to have a partial denture made?
No referral is needed in order to see our dental prosthetist, in fact generally we are a great first port of call.
Will people know I’m wearing a partial denture?
We pride ourselves on providing the most realistic, aesthetic and functional dentures on the Gold Coast. In most cases it will be very difficult for people to tell that you are wearing a denture
Will my new denture affect my speech?
Generally moving from an old generic type denture to one of our premium custom dentures, no speech should be altered. However, if it’s your first time wearing a denture it is not uncommon to experience some speech changes. Within a short time and with practice all, your speech with return back to normal
How long will it take to get use to my new denture?
In most cases getting use to a new denture depends on what changes and improvements have been made to the new one from the old prosthesis. We always suggest an adjustment period of one to two weeks before things start feeling normal again.
Can I eat with my new partial denture?
We understand that all our clients would love to jump straight in to that beautiful steak and chips dinner after receiving a new set of dentures. However, there is always a small break-in period for new dentures. We recommend starting slow with smaller bites until you get use to your new teeth.
How does my partial denture stay in place?
How long will my partial denture last?
We generally recommend getting a denture relined every 2.5 years and recommend replacing your dentures every 5-7 years. The mouth changes around 5-7% every year and a properly made denture has slight wear and tear every year. Therefore, it’s crucial to get a refresh to prevent any jaw related issues in your mouth.
Can partial dentures be repaired?
Partial dentures can definitely be repaired. Dentures repairs usually can be done within the hour if enough notice is given and can be as good as new!
Can partial dentures be adjusted?
Can partial dentures be relined?
Yes, partial dentures can be relined, in order to booked in for a reline, we need to get you in early so that the denture can be ready for you in the same day. This process requires and impression to be taken within the mouth using your existing denture and we replace the entire base to make the denture fit perfectly. See our denture relines page to find out more.
My partial denture is loose what can I do?
Depending on the age of the denture, it’s either time to reline the denture or think about replacing it with a new set.
How can I clean my denture?
There are many different ways to clean your dentures. We always recommended soaking them overnight in a denture cleaning tablet and gently brushing them clean morning and night. This will help prevent any plaque build up and help maintain a healthy oral hygiene.
