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.

I see the outstanding Dr David Trinh and my kids see Dr Sarah Nguyen. Honestly the best dentists by far. From the moment we switched dental clinics my kids have loved coming to visit the dentist. I know my family is in the best hands and honestly my husband is happy with any dentist at mitcham dental clinic because everyone is so lovely. The receptionists are also so friendly and accommodating! from making your appointment to having your treatment, i can see why they get alot of reviews. I cannot recommend Mitcham dental clinic highly enough!!

For many years, I have been traveling for nearly an hour from Ringwood to Bundoora Dental clinic to see my dentist, as I know he is excellent. He retired last year and I was looking for a local dentist. I was grateful to find Dr. Ron Fulop of Mitcham Dental, i did 2 filling and 1 crowning with him. Ron is a true professional who alway put patients’ health and well-being at high priority, he was good at establishing trust with patients with a good sense of humour. He has a gentle approach in his service. I would highly recommend his great service.
