What to expect with denture additions

A denture addition is a good option for patients with partial dentures and plans to extract teeth. It may be possible to replace the removed teeth by adding new teeth to the current partial denture. It is also possible to fill gaps due to already missing teeth by adding new teeth onto the existing partial denture.

Why consider denture additions

  • To replace tooth/teeth after extraction – When you already have partial dentures, denture additions are an ideal solution for adding and replacing a tooth or teeth after extraction to fill the gap (once healed).
  • Cost-effective – Denture addition is a cost-effective solution to complete one’s smile instead of fabricating a new set of full dentures.

At The Denture Studio, we can add same-day teeth depending on how many teeth we need. Immediate denture additions require planning and discussion between the client and the dental practitioner. If you are interested in denture additions, contact us today to discuss possible treatment plans or whether denture addition is the right solution.

Excellent denture care so that you look your best

Taking care of your dentures is essential to maintain good oral health and overall well-being and extend your denture’s longevity. At the Denture Studio clinic in Hamilton, we educate our patients on the proper daily denture care practices to ensure their dentures continue to look their best and function optimally.

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.

FAQs

We offer fast and efficient service, usually within 2-3 weeks, depending on the treatment plan.

At your free consultation, we will negotiate a time frame for your chosen treatment plan.

We endeavour to make our dentures as natural looking as possible. However, in nearly all situations, we do a trial to ensure you are happy with the appearance. At the trial, we can make changes to provide the look you want is the look you get.

Cost may vary depending on the type of denture you need. We will quote you a fixed price based on the treatment plan at your free consultation. This quote will be valid for six months from the time of the consultation.

We offer Insurance & WINZ quotation, and if you have a Gold Card, we will offer you a discount.

We have a wide range of colours and shades to make your teeth look as natural as possible. We will recommend a specific colour that we believe is most appropriate; however, you will have the final say. You are welcome to bring a support person to help you choose.

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.

Our priority is to provide a comfortable experience for our clients in a relaxing atmosphere. In addition, our modern techniques and technologies make the denture-making process very gentle.

Don’t worry. We are not dentists, and we do not drill or pull your teeth ?

Yes!

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.
