Full and Partial Dentures ·
Full and partial dentures explained: types, how long they take, cost and care
Dentures replace missing teeth so you can eat, speak and smile with confidence. Here is what to know before you start.
Types of dentures
- Partial acrylic dentures replace some missing teeth and fit onto your natural teeth.
- Partial cobalt chrome (metal) dentures are thinner and more comfortable to wear.
- Full acrylic dentures replace all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw, or both.
What is the process?
- Examination and discussion of your options
- Impressions of your mouth
- Trial fittings to check fit, bite and appearance
- Final fitting and adjustments
Most dentures takes a few days to 2 weeks from first visit to final fit. Any damaged teeth may need treatment first.
How much do dentures cost?
Cost depends on the type, the materials and how many teeth are replaced. Our dentures start from $200. We'll give you a clear quote after your examination.
Looking after your dentures
- Clean them daily with a soft brush and denture cleaner, not toothpaste
- Remove them at night and keep them in water or cleaning solution
- Handle them over a soft surface, in case you drop them
- Keep attending check-ups, as your mouth changes over time
