Full dentures, also known as complete dentures, are removable prosthetic teeth that replace all of your teeth in the upper and/or lower jaw. They sit snug on your gums and are custom made to fit your mouth, allowing you to smile, eat, and speak comfortably. 

You may need full dentures if you do not have any natural teeth remaining in your upper and/or lower jaw. You may also need full dentures if some remaining teeth you have are deemed unhealthy and can’t be saved by your dentist. We will do a full assessment to see what is best for your situation. If you are planning tooth extractions, you must let our clinicians know.

Not necessarily, if you have planned teeth extractions we may be able to provide you an immediate denture service. If you are waiting for your gums to heal post-extractions then yes, you may be without teeth for a few weeks.

We provide a 5 year warranty on all of our premium full dentures and a 1 year warranty on the Confi-Classic full denture. With good care, your dentures can last much longer than this. Even good dentures will require relines every few years as your gums change shape with time. This will help maintain a good fit for your dentures.

Yes, modern dentures are designed to look very natural, and we will work with you to choose a tooth shade that will be a good match. They my feel a bit odd at first, but most people adjust to wearing dentures quickly. The premium full dentures such as the Confi Bio and Confi Bold/Soft range are designed to feel very comfortable in your mouth.

Part of the cost of dentures is usually covered by insurance. Some policies will pay the entire cost of full dentures. Get in touch with your insurance provider to check your policy coverage. If eligible, we are able to prepare a full denture quote for you to share with your insurer.

The cost of full dentures varies based on the materials and type of denture chosen. An economical acrylic denture will be substantially less expensive than a premium denture.

Our economical acrylic denture costs $1300 plus GST. Our premium full dentures start from $1900 plus GST.

Speaking can feel different with new dentures as they are a foreign object in your mouth. It takes some time getting used to, just like braces. With time and practice, it will feel natural.

With a new denture it is best to be careful when eating as denture teeth are not as strong as natural teeth. This can mean eating smaller bites, and being mindful to chew on both sides of your mouth. The biggest food culprits for broken dentures we hear are chocolate and nuts. Try not to bite into chocolate, instead let it melt in your mouth. Be careful when chewing nuts, the most safe option will be opting for nut butters such as peanut butter, cashew butter, and almond butter.
