Overdentures in Kalgoorlie

A Dentist for Dentures & Other Dental Services

If you have some missing teeth or you have had all your natural teeth extracted, dentures may be the best solution. They will make it easier to eat and speak, improve the appearance of your face by preventing muscles from sagging and give you a better smile and increased confidence.

Dentures are a much cheaper alternative to dental implants. And modern dentures are much more natural-looking than they used to be, so most people won’t be able to tell them from natural teeth.

How We Ensure a Perfect Denture Fit at Our Dental Clinic?

Dentures are false teeth that are generally made from plastic (acrylic resin) on a lightweight metal frame. They can be supplied as full dentures to replace all your upper or lower teeth, or both, or as partial dentures that are held in place by metal clasps fitted to adjoining teeth.

Our dentures clinic uses the latest techniques and materials to fit dentures that are comfortable, natural looking and custom-made so they are exactly right for your mouth. They are fitted as the result of a specific process that will require a number of visits.

1. Existing teeth may need to be removed before being replaced by dentures. This may require a delay of a few months to allow the gums to fully heal before dentures can be fitted. It is possible to fit temporary dentures during this period or permanent dentures earlier, but this may cause discomfort and the need for more adjustments.
2. At a first consultation regarding the dentures, we will take impressions, photographs and measurements of your mouth so we can ensure a perfect fit. We will also help you to choose a suitable tooth colour, which is particularly important for partial dentures that need to match existing teeth, as well as gum colour and tooth size. We want to make sure everything looks as natural as possible.
3. Your dentures will be made in accordance with our precise specifications and quality control standards.
4. Once your dentures are made, you will try them out and determine if they feel comfortable and you like how they look. We will assess the way they function and ensure they fit properly.
5. If, after a few weeks of use, you are not completely comfortable with the dentures, we will make any adjustments necessary until you are fully satisfied.

So Comfortable You Will Forget You Are Wearing Them

Modern dentures are far superior to those of many years ago as they should fit precisely, feel comfortable and look 100% natural. It is understandable that they might feel strange initially and will take some time for you to become used to them. If they feel awkward, loose or cause irritation or soreness, just let us know and we’ll fix the problem.

Once fitted, dentures are in some ways no different to natural teeth. You need to clean them twice a day, early morning and last thing at night, and after eating, using mild soap and water and a soft denture brush. You will also need a regular dental check-up to ensure your dentures are okay and your gums are healthy. Just like natural teeth.
