Dentures in Maryborough

If you’ve lost one or more teeth, it’s understandable that you may hesitate to smile. At Pullen Dental, we offer full and partial dentures to help you achieve a strong, healthy smile that you’ll be proud to show off. A full denture is designed for patients who have lost all their teeth, either on the upper or lower jaw. Depending on your needs, you can have a full upper or a full lower denture, or both.

Conversely, a partial is suitable for patients who are missing several teeth and are not ideal candidates for a bridge.

The Benefits of Modern Dentures

Unlike the dentures often portrayed in media, today’s modern ones offer many benefits:

A natural appearance that closely mimics real teeth
Strong, durable materials for long-lasting wear
Comfortable fit that allows for easy eating and speaking

What Does the Process Involve?

Getting your custom dentures typically involves a series of appointments. During these visits, we will:

Take impressions of your mouth to ensure a precise fit
Design your dentures based on your unique needs and preferences
Ensure that your final dentures fit comfortably and securely

Caring for Your Dentures

We recommend patients visit us every six months for a denture check-up, which involves a basic exam fee. To maintain denture hygiene, they should be removed every night, stored in a denture bath with room temperature water, and cleaned daily, just like natural teeth. This routine helps keep the appliance clean and in good condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can get dentures?

These dental appliances are suitable for individuals who have lost some or all of their natural teeth due to injury, decay, or gum disease.

How long does it take to create dentures?

The process typically involves a series of appointments to take impressions, design your appliances, and ensure a comfortable fit. The entire process typically takes several weeks.

Can I eat and drink with dentures?

Yes. However, some foods may be more challenging to consume, particularly those that are hard to chew, have small hard particles, or are sticky.

How long should my dentures last?

Dentures generally need replacement every five years due to gum shrinkage and normal wear and tear that can cause them to become loose. Regular use can also thin them out over time.
