Dentures Kallangur
What are the different types of dentures?
Dentures can replace as many teeth as you need them to. At our clinic in Kallangur, known for its specialist denture services, we offer full dentures, partial dentures and implant-retained dentures.
Full dentures replace an entire row of teeth. Upper dentures rest on the roof of your mouth, while lower dentures are attached to the gums behind the teeth.
Partial dentures may replace a single tooth or several teeth in a row. These are attached to the neighbouring healthy teeth by hidden clasps.
Implant-retained dentures are full or partial dentures supported by a dental implant, which gives them extra strength and stability.
If you’re having full dentures, we may need to extract any teeth you still have remaining. We’ll leave time for your gums to heal before beginning your denture treatment.
How are dentures made?
If you decide that dentures are right for you, our team will guide you through the process and answer any questions you have. Getting your complete and partial dentures at our Kallangur clinic is a 4-stage process:
Impressions
We'll take impressions (moulds) of your mouth to create your custom trays. These trays are then used to take more detailed impressions of your gums and any teeth you have remaining.
Making your dentures
Our prosthetist will manufacture your dentures tailored to your oral structure to a shade that matches your natural tooth colour, or a lighter shade if you prefer.
Try in
When your dentures have been made, we'll arrange another appointment for you to try them out and see if they feel comfortable. We'll make any adjustments needed if you have experienced any issues or discomfort.
Final fitting
When you're happy with your new dentures, we'll show you how to fit and remove them and give you advice about denture care. You can then resume your normal activities with your new smile.
Denture Care Tips
When you take good care of your dentures and your oral health, your dentures should typically last around five years with proper care. You should clean your dentures every day to remove bacteria, food, and other debris from the surface. It’s also important to continue brushing your teeth or gums, as oral health problems can affect how your dentures fit. We may advise that you avoid some food and drinks to prevent your dentures from being damaged or dislodged. If they do get damaged, contact our clinic for denture repairs in Kallangur. We’ll also check the condition and fit of your dentures every time you visit us for your regular check-up.

Denture Care Tips
Because dentures are artificial, they will not be as stable as your natural teeth and can be uncomfortable to wear at first, but comfort should improve with time.
Taking care of dentures is crucial and at the same time it is also necessary to follow some after-care instructions once the dentures have been fitted.
- Consume soft foods and avoid eating hard foods that strain the dentures in any way until full recovery.
- Avoid eating sticky foods that can damage the dentures.
- Avoid consuming foods and liquids that are too hot or too cold.
- Avoid the usage of toothpicks.
- Make sure to brush softly.

FAQs
The process of getting dentures usually takes several weeks. First, impressions of your teeth are made in order to create custom-fitted dentures. Then, you will return for a fitting and to have your new dentures placed. After that, it may take a week or two for your mouth to adjust to the new dentures. During this time, you may experience some soreness or irritation. However, this is normal and should improve with time.
With proper care, complete and partial dentures can last for many years. However, they may eventually need to be replaced due to wear and tear. You can always visit Prevent Dental Suite to learn more about our range of dentures in Kallangur (QLD), crafted to restore comfort and function.
Soaking your dentures overnight gives them a chance to rehydrate and helps to remove any spots or stains. Fill a cup with warm water and add a little bit of mild soap or denture cleanser. Place your dentures in the water and allow them to soak for at least 30 minutes. Be sure to rinse them thoroughly before putting them back in your mouth in the morning. Connect with our dental clinic for information on care and maintenance of dentures.
It’s best to take your dentures out before going to bed and give your gums a chance to rest. However, if you must wear them overnight, be sure to soak them in a cleansing solution to help prevent bacteria from growing.
Dentures are fitted to make you feel comfortable while eating and speaking. They are designed to fit comfortably; however, minor initial discomfort may occur as your mouth adjusts. Initially, you may feel some discomfort, but once the jaws adjust to the dentures, there should be no problem.
