Is a denture right for me?
Your Northbridge dentist will assess a number of factors including the number of teeth to be replaced, overall health and alternatives when considering if a denture is right for you. We will also take into account your personal preference!
Full denture made from acrylic
Full Dentures replace all teeth in either the top or bottom jaw. Full dentures are made of acrylic.
Acrylic partial denture Chrome partial denture
Partial Dentures replace one or more missing teeth and are secured via clasps that “hook” onto the remaining teeth. In most cases partial dentures are made of a combination of acrylic and metal.
FAQs - Dentures
I need to have a tooth removed and I don’t want to left with a gap at all. Is there a way to have a denture put in immediately?
Yes. This is called an immediate denture. This requires advanced planning and allows a denture to be issued on the same day that teeth are extracted. A denture will then be constructed and then fitted immediately following tooth extraction.
How long will it take me to get used to a denture?
Just like a person who has a prosthetic leg will not get up and run a marathon the first day, dentures take time to get used to. Eventually they become comfortable and most people don’t even notice they are there. Some difficulties in speech, chewing and even some rubbing may be experienced initially.
How much do dentures cost?
Dentures are a labour-intensive process designed and customised to each individual. Costs will vary depending on material used, number of retainers required and number of teeth replaced. Simple dentures will start from around $800 and range right up to complex special constructed chrome dentures at $2400 (and everything in between).

I need a tooth out and I already have a denture. What can I do?
If a tooth adjacent to a partial denture requires extraction, you may be able to have the tooth added to your existing denture. This will depend on the denture and must be assessed on a case-by-case basis. If the tooth is important for the retention of the denture (i.e. a clasp sits around it) then a clasp may need to be added to latch around another tooth as well. In some cases a tooth addition cannot be achieved and a new denture may be required.
