What to expect with full dentures

Full dentures are for patients who have no more natural teeth. They are for individuals who feel restricted by what to eat, how they speak, and how they look with the gaps in their mouths. Patients can reclaim their speaking and chewing functions with full upper and lower dentures, feeling more comfortable and confident in public.

At The Denture Studio, we can make custom-made full dentures specific to your mouth for a comfortable fit. We utilise the IvoBase Injection system so that your full dentures will fit according to your mouth’s design. This process provides you with a natural bite and smile.

In making full dentures, we like to see our patients as much as possible to minimise the guesswork and be more precise with each step. We recommend our patients visit our clinic for a more personalised approach.

Excellent denture care so that you look your best

Proper denture maintenance is crucial for maintaining good health and wellbeing while prolonging the lifespan of your dentures. At our dental clinic in Hamilton, we instruct our patients on how to perform daily denture care to ensure optimal function and appearance.

We recommend the following

  1. Go to your clinician regularly – at least 2 – three yearly check-ups.
  2. Continue with daily denture care to keep your dentures functioning properly and looking good.
  3. Never clean your dentures with caustic liquids or abrasives.
  4. Never attempt to repair your dentures yourself.

A new denture provides enhanced chewing ability, facial support, personal appearance and confidence. In addition, it is crucial in maintaining gum structure and oral health.

We recommend a change of dentures every 8 – 10 years and a reline every 4 -5 years. Although your denture is likely to last longer than this, your mouth changes shape over time. This means the older the denture, the more likely it sits with a suboptimal fit, leading to oral health and hygiene issues.

If your teeth are beyond the condition for repair or the repair process is financially unrealistic. Dentures may be an option for you. We strongly advise you to discuss this with your dentist.

We believe post-treatment is vital for clients adapting to their new dentures. Check-ups are included in the treatment plan quote, so if you have any issues in the two months, call in to make an appointment. You will always be welcome.

If issues arise after two months, it is usually due to changes in the mouth itself. There will be a small charge for this.
