Dentures in Adelaide

Restoring Function, Comfort & Confidence

Tooth loss affects more than appearance: it impacts chewing, speech and long-term facial support. Dentures (false teeth) are custom-made, removable prosthetics that replace single or multiple missing teeth, and remain one of the most cost-effective options for tooth replacement.

We provide complete, partial, immediate and implant-supported dentures, each planned around your gum tissue, bone health and long-term oral stability. Our process includes a full assessment, precision impressions, a trial fitting and all the adjustment appointments you need.

Types of Dentures We Provide

We offer all major denture options, so your treatment suits your anatomy, lifestyle and long-term goals.

  • All teeth

    Complete Dentures

    For patients missing all teeth in an arch, restoring facial support and natural aesthetics.

  • Some teeth

    Partial Dentures

    Used when healthy natural teeth remain, helping stabilise the bite and prevent teeth moving.

  • Same day

    Immediate Dentures

    Placed on the day of extractions to maintain appearance and function while you heal.

  • Extra stability

    Implant-Supported Dentures

    Two or more implants secure the denture, improving chewing and helping slow bone loss where they are placed.

Our Denture Process

  1. 1

    Comprehensive Assessment

    We examine your remaining teeth, gums and bone, discuss all tooth replacement options and plan any extractions.

  2. 2

    Precision Impressions

    Detailed impressions, bite relationships and jaw position records make sure your denture fits accurately.

  3. 3

    Trial Denture

    We assess fit, bite, speech and appearance, and make adjustments before final fabrication.

  4. 4

    Final Fitting & Aftercare

    We check comfort, stability and bite. Adjustment appointments are a normal, included part of the process.

The Adjustment Period: What to Expect

Adapting to dentures is gradual. It’s common to experience:

  • Minor soreness or irritation

  • Increased saliva at first

  • Difficulty with certain speech sounds

  • Changes in chewing efficiency

Realistic expectations: chewing with dentures differs from natural teeth or implants, and hard or sticky foods may take practice. The jawbone naturally changes after tooth loss, so dentures may need relining or replacement over time, and regular professional reviews are essential.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Implants integrate with the jawbone and connect to precision attachments inside the denture, so it no longer relies on suction or adhesive.

  • Greater stability

    Less movement when eating and speaking.

  • Improved chewing

    Stronger, more confident chewing.

  • Reduced bone loss

    Implants help slow bone resorption where they’re placed.

Suitability depends on bone volume and general health, which we assess with CBCT imaging. You’ll receive a written, itemised plan covering implant placement and denture fabrication before you begin.

Denture Care & Maintenance

Daily care is essential for comfort, longevity and healthy gums. Poor fit is the most common cause of denture problems, so early review prevents complications.

  • Clean Daily

    Rinse after meals and clean daily with a soft brush and non-abrasive cleanser. Regular toothpaste scratches dentures over time.

  • Remove Overnight

    Take dentures out each night to let your gums rest, and store them in water or a soaking solution.

  • Regular Check-ups

    Professional reviews keep your dentures fitting well and your mouth healthy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Book an appointment

How long does it take to get dentures?

Several weeks, depending on extractions and complexity. Immediate dentures can be fitted on the day of extraction but need adjusting as you heal.

Can I eat normally with dentures?

Chewing improves with practice, though some foods may need adapting to.

What’s the difference between partial and full dentures?

A partial denture replaces some teeth; a full denture replaces all the teeth in an arch.

Are implant-supported dentures worth it?

They offer much better stability and help reduce bone loss. Suitability depends on bone volume and health.

How much do dentures cost?

Fees depend on the type of denture, the number of teeth replaced, extractions and any relining. We provide a clear written estimate with no surprises.
