Conventional Full Dentures

Dentures are the simplest and most cost-effective solution for patients who have no teeth at all. Complete dentures are removable plates, for the lower and upper jaws, supporting a full new complement of teeth. The dentures are fitted specially over your gums and are retained in your mouth similar to the way a suction cup sits on a wall. However, there are some limitations to conventional full dentures.

While the upper denture offers great stability and retention, the lower denture has less support and may come loose often requiring you to use your tongue to keep it in place. Therefore we often resort to use dental implants to enhance the retention of the denture.

Why should I see a prosthodontist?2026-05-05T20:19:39+10:00

A prosthodontist is a specialist who is registered with the Dental Board of Australia in the field of prosthodontics. They undergo a minimum of three years of full-time advanced training, allowing them to treat complex and difficult cases where your general dentist cannot. The primary roles of a prosthodontist are to diagnose, treat and rehabilitate patients who have lost their teeth or require advance care in oral restorative work. Their services include provision of dentures, veneers, dental implants, inlays, onlays, crowns, bridges and much more.

Differences between prosthodontist and cosmetic dentist2026-05-05T20:20:05+10:00

Since “cosmetic dentistry” is not a recognised dental specialty, a “cosmetic dentist” is a layperson’s description of a general dentist who offers treatments focussed on enhancing the aesthetics of your smile. A prosthodontist is an effective cosmetic dentist possessing advanced expertise and an appropriate educational background in this field.

A prosthodontist also has the requisite skills to coordinate and administer a full mouth reconstruction involving coordination of multiple treatments and different specialties. As the title suggests, prosthodontists further specialise in creating natural and life-like prosthetic devices to replace your missing teeth.
