Missing teeth can affect more than just your ability to chew and speak comfortably—they may also impact the appearance of your smile. Dentures are a widely used treatment option that can help restore oral function and replace missing teeth.
At Dental Society in St Clair, we offer both conventional and implant-supported dentures. Implant-supported options are designed to provide additional stability and may be suitable for patients seeking an alternative to removable dentures.
We’re here to help you explore which solution best suits your oral health needs. Book a consultation to discuss your options with our team.
Implant-supported dentures combine the stability of dental implants and the convenience of dentures. Unlike traditional dentures that simply sit on your gums, implant-supported dentures are securely anchored to your jawbone using dental implants. This ensures a stable fit, eliminating concerns about slipping or shifting dentures.
Plus, implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and helping to maintain your facial structure. Our premium, customised dentures are designed to minimise irritation and discomfort while closely resembling your natural teeth for a seamless, natural look.
At Dental Society, we offer a full range of services to ensure your implant-supported dentures are perfect for you:
Your First Appointment
At your first appointment, your dentist will take moulds or impressions of your mouth so that a custom tray can be created.
Then, your dentist will go through the treatment process and give you advice on the choice of teeth and materials that best suit your individual needs and budget.
Custom-Made Tray
Secondary impressions are then taken using our custom-made, special trays, in addition to wax bites. These wax bites are taken to map out the relationship between your upper and lower jaw.
From this point, a trial denture is created to replicate your mouth’s shape and the positioning of the completed false teeth dentures.Your dentist will then assist you to select both the colour and the quality of your new denture.
Try on your dentures
Wax-based dentures are applied in your mouth to determine the appropriate fit, shape, and colour. Then, the final denture is crafted.
Your Final Appointment
A common sensation experienced by those who gets dentures for the first time is one of mild discomfort (many describe it as “odd” or “strange”). This is because your mouth, tongue, and facial muscles must learn to adapt to the shape and positioning of the false teeth dentures, however you can rest assured that it is a sensation that naturally resolves itself over a few weeks. In your final appointment your dentist will talk to you about aftercare and answer any questions you have.
Aftercare
Just like natural teeth, you should have regular check ups at Dental Society to ensure that your dentures, as well as your entire oral health, are in the best shape possible.
Missing teeth can make everyday activities like eating and speaking more challenging. Our custom dentures are designed for a comfortable fit and natural appearance, helping you enjoy daily life with ease.
