Dentures Melbourne
Whether you are facing issues due to gum disease, tooth decay or injury a denture may provide a successful option that will benefit your appearance, health and function. When a set of teeth are missing, the remaining teeth generally shift into the remaining space and become crooked. It is harder to clean crooked teeth, which can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. Your ability to chew properly and speak is restored. Dentures will fill out the look of your face and prevent facial muscles from sagging, which can make you look older.
We can make you a denture or partial that will closely resemble your natural teeth and gums, to minimise a change in your appearance
Type oF Dentures
-
Conventional
The full removable denture is made and placed in your mouth after any remaining teeth have been removed and the tissues have healed. This can take several months.
-
Immediate
You will receive the removable denture on the same day, when your remaining teeth will be removed, so you don’t have to be without teeth during the healing period. We will take the measurements and make models of your jaw at a preliminary visit. You may be required to have the denture relined after you have finished the healing process to ensure a proper fit.
-
Partial
A partial is a removable appliance made for patients who are missing some, but not all teeth. We will design the partial denture to match your teeth and gums, and it will attach to your natural teeth with metal or plastic clasps. Your partial denture will keep your teeth from shifting, while filling in gaps that can make eating difficult to complete your smile.
-
Over Denture
This option provides added stability for your denture. Over time, retention on a traditional denture worsens due to bone loss and deterioration. As they rely on suction alone, they can require messy denture creams or adhesives. A root or implant supported overdenture is held in place by attachments added to the root of a remaining tooth, or to an implant. An overdenture helps preserve the health of your jaw bone and will control facial contour changes that can be caused by having no remaining teeth.

Dentures FAQs
The price of dentures generally depends on the material utilised and the number of teeth that are being replaced. Dentures vary in price between $1700 and $3000.
There are no “best” dentures as such. A denture needs to be custom made. Many factors are taken into account which will influence the final design. Factors include;
- the number of teeth,
- strength required,
- sensitivity to materials,
- long term goals,
- comfort of fit.
Bad teeth are never a preferred option. Bad teeth lead to issues with comfort, health and self-confidence. Good quality dentures can be customised as per the patient’s requirements.

What Our Patients Say About Our Denture Treatment

Mitcham Dental would have to be one of the BEST dental clinics in the east. They are always so accomodating, friendly and very experienced in all aspects of dentistry. I am quite a nervous patient when it comes to my teeth. They are also very patient and make the customer feel comfortable at all times. So many options are given to a patient and always explained prior to treatment. I must give Sarah a thumb up always for taking care of my teeth and making me feel comfortable, and not nervous whilst performing my dental treatment. The outcome is always positive and I always keep coming back. Congratulations to the whole team at Mitcham Dental. Keep up the grest work!

I couldn't be happier with our experience at Mitcham dental clinic. Dr Jia has a remarkable way with kids – my 6yo daughter now looks forward to dentist visits! The friendly atmosphere and Dr Jia's gentle approach make it a topnotch choice for families. Grateful to have found a dentist who makes dental care enjoyable for kids!

I very rarely leave reviews, but this is warranted. I’m a very nervous patient when it comes to sitting in a dental chair, however from the moment I walked in to make an appointment and explained my situation I was made to feel relaxed. Dr Jia Leong made the experience actually quite enjoyable. She is very thorough, patient and professional. This is a very modern, fully equipped dental surgery you should not look past. And again, if you are nervous, Dr Leong and Mitcham dental clinic is the clinic for you.

I fell down and chipped my front tooth so I was desperately looking for a dental clinic that's still open. although it was very last minute, the clinic remained opened to see me which was such a nice gesture. Dr Trinh was very compassionate and friendly and immediately filled the tooth which now looks amazing. can't even tell the difference now! i usually am scared to go see a dentist but i felt very comfortable this time! thank you again!

I rarely make a online reviews however, after walking out the door of Mitcham Dental I immediately knew this place deserved a rave review. I've been planning to get a check up, clean, invisilign, replace fillings and have whitening done for some time. I've been putting it off as the overwhelming list of things I needed done had naturally put me off. After today, I can't believe I didn't come here sooner. I was so impressed by the friendly highly skilled staff, the attention to detail, the clarity about my dental plan and the price as well as the expertise from my Dentist. It can be daunting and expensive to have all the procedure and work one needs done on their teeth... but Mitcham Dental single handedly outshines the rest. Very impressed with this place More posts to come when all my dental work is done.
