Dentures are removably attached fake teeth composed of metal, nylon, or acrylic (plastic). They fill in gaps left by missing teeth and take care of any potential issues by fitting securely over the gums.
Teeth on either side of a gap may grow at an angle, affecting speech and feeding. Gaps left by missing teeth can also affect the bite.
Sometimes it’s necessary to extract and replace every tooth. You can also replace missing teeth with partial or complete dentures, which replace all of your upper or lower teeth. Partial dentures replace one or a few missing teeth.
With the use of dentures, you could prevent speech and eating problems. If you need complete dentures, they also improve the appearance of your smile and give you more self-confidence.
Dentists at Kallangur Dental Hub are experts in perfect denture making. We make dentures after taking into account the patient’s needs and budget.

Broken Denture? Don’t worry. We will either fix it or make a new one.
The mouth’s detachable appliances are called dentures. They restore some of the gum tissue in addition to replacing missing teeth.
A pink gum-coloured acrylic base serves as the substrate for dentures. It gives support to the denture. A thin metal framework is sometimes included with dentures to add strength and stability.
You have two choices: removable complete dentures and removable partial dentures.
First, complete or full dentures replace every tooth in the upper, lower, or jaws. Complete dentures rest on the gums.
On the other hand, partial dentures are worn to close gaps. As a result, partial dentures are more frequently used when some natural teeth are still present.
A dental implant is a structure that serves as a tooth replacement. The surgeon places an implant as the anchor for a crown-like prosthetic tooth into the jawbone using tools that resemble screws.
The false tooth is attached to the dental implant via a component known as an abutment.
The crown is built to order to fit the individual’s mouth and complement their teeth’s colour. Crowns resemble natural teeth in appearance, feel, and performance.
Although dentures may initially feel unusual, you’ll quickly adjust to them.
When you initially get dentures, you might have to wear them constantly, even while you sleep.
Your clinical dental technician at Kallangur Dental Hub or dentist will advise you on removing dentures during sleep time.
Even though it’s not always necessary, taking off your dentures at night can give your gums a rest.
When you take off your dentures, you should keep them moist. You can put them in water, a polythene bag with cotton wool, or an appropriate overnight denture-cleaning solution.
Even seasoned denture wearers endure some discomfort when first putting on new dentures. Their biting and occlusion would change.
You will feel relaxed chewing with your new dentures for a few days or weeks. Following denture replacement, we advise starting with soft foods. Gradually change to a more complex diet.
You could first have trouble saying some challenging terms. Practice speaking challenging words out loud. If you see your dentures moving when you grin or laugh, Bite gently. You’ll gradually notice that your speaking has improved.
We can provide dentures on the same day that your teeth are pulled. These prosthetics are referred to as immediate dentures. For a conventional denture, it is recommended to wait 2 to 3 months for the extraction areas to recover.
A removable denture, called an overdenture, is designed to cover a few remaining natural teeth or dental implants. The natural teeth must be prepped to stabilise and support the denture.
A denture will typically last between one and two years. Around the end of the first year, some modest changes might be needed.
