FULL & PARTIAL DENTURES
What are Full Dentures?
Full dentures are your one stop solution to get your beautiful smile back in check! Full Dentures are suitable for individuals who have lost all their natural teeth, the dentures at Tweed Coast Denture Studio are custom designed to perfection in our in-house laboratory. We offer our patients options in colouring, positioning and sizes and encourage proper habits of cleaning and maintenance.
Full dentures, sometimes referred to as ‘fake teeth’ are defined by the fact that they replace missing teeth and surrounding gum tissues on both upper and lower parts of the jaw. Full Denture usually last around 10 years but can last much longer if maintained and cleaned properly.
Dentures are 100% removable and made only after gum tissue has begun to heal.
What are Partial Dentures?
Partial Dentures are utilised to correct a broken smile, consisting of a gum-coloured acrylic base and replacement teeth, these handy tools are instrumental in proving the overall aesthetic appeal of an individuals smile as well as their mouth’s functionality.
Not only do partial dentures fill in gaps, they prevent existing teeth from moving position and often can correct your bite. Partial Dentures are necessary if some natural teeth remain, otherwise Full Dentures might be needed.
Partial dentures work by the use of a ‘bridge’ which is fixed in place. The bridge contains the necessary missing teeth whilst still positioning existing teeth in ‘crowns.’ All of our dentures are custom designed in our on site laboratory and specified to your needs.
DENTURE RELINES & REMODELS
Relines occur when the shape of your gums, or your mouth has changed and your denture is no longer comfortable or sitting correctly. Often an impression is used to show us the changes in your mouth as things begin to heal. Relines are typically a no-drama situation and are usually completed the same day.
Implant Retained Overdentures
Implants are an artificial replacement for the root of a natural tooth, usually made from titanium. Once they are in place they can provide a permanent and stable anchor to which a denture can be attached.
