How to Take Care of Dentures?

Taking proper care of dentures is crucial for their longevity and to ensure they remain effective:

  • It’s vital to brush them daily to remove food particles and prevent staining.
  • They should be kept moist when not worn to prevent warping.
  • Dentures should never be exposed to hot water, which can cause them to warp.
  • If breakage or damage occurs, seeking denture repairs from professionals is imperative. DIY kits might not provide a lasting or safe solution.

 

Moreover, visiting your dental services provider regularly ensures that your dentures remain in good condition and continue to fit properly.

The cost of dentures in Australia varies based on the type, the materials used, and the dental clinic’s location. It ranges from $700 to $30,000.

Dentures have been one of the go-to tooth replacement options for those who have lost some or all of their natural teeth. Whether due to decay, injury, or age, missing or damaged teeth can pose challenges for many individuals, impacting their ability to chew food, speak clearly, and smile confidently.

Thankfully, dentures offer a reliable solution. Let’s delve deeper into how dentures operate and integrate into one’s daily life.

The Fundamentals of Dentures

At their core, dentures are prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth. Often referred to as false teeth, they’re more advanced than they might sound. Made from materials like acrylic resin or porcelain, these prosthetics are designed to mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth, allowing for seamless integration into the patient’s mouth.

Customisation and Fitting Process

Before opting for dentures, a detailed examination is done to evaluate the patient’s needs. Impressions of the jaw and measurements of how one’s jaws relate to one another are taken. These serve as the blueprint for creating dentures that fit snugly and comfortably. A dental prosthetist specialises in creating custom dentures and other dental appliances to restore smiles and improve oral function.

Adapting to Life with Dentures

During the initial period, new dentures may feel unfamiliar, and you might experience a slight sense of looseness as the muscles of your cheeks and tongue adapt to keeping them in place. Eating with new dentures might require some practice to get comfortable. Starting with soft foods and avoiding sticky substances will make the transition smoother.

Speaking, too, can take some getting used to. It’s not uncommon for individuals to have minor difficulty pronouncing certain words. Practising reading aloud can speed up the acclimatisation process.

Here’s an overview of the average price ranges:

  • Full Dentures (Complete Replacement of Upper or Lower Arch): Typically range from $1,200 to $5,000 per arch.
  • Partial Dentures (Replacing Several Missing Teeth):
    • Acrylic Partial Dentures: Starting from $700 to $2,500. 
    • Metal (Chrome) Partial Dentures: Starting from $1,850.
  • Implant-Supported Dentures:  These offer enhanced stability and can range from $6,000 to $30,000, depending on the number of implants and materials used. ​
  • Immediate Dentures (Placed Immediately After Extractions): These typically cost slightly more due to the immediate placement and necessary adjustments, averaging between $1,500 and $4,500 per arch.

To determine the best denture type for your needs, consult with our dental professionals, who can assess your oral health and discuss options tailored to your situation. But here’s an overview of common denture types:

  1. Complete (Full) Dentures—replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw
    • Pros: Restore appearance and functionality after total tooth loss.
    • Cons: May require adhesives for stability and can feel less secure than other options.
  1. Partial Dentures—replace several missing teeth while some natural teeth remain.
    • Pros: Prevent remaining teeth from shifting and are typically removable.​
    • Cons: Clips or attachments may be visible, affecting aesthetics. ​
  1. Implant-Supported Dentures—anchored to dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone.
    • Pros: Offer enhanced stability, comfort, and function; feel more like natural teeth.​
    • Cons: Require sufficient bone density and involve a surgical procedure; higher cost. 
  1. Snap-In Dentures—a type of implant-supported denture that “snaps” onto implants.
    • Pros: Provide strong stability and are removable for cleaning.​
    • Cons: Similar surgical requirements and costs as other implant-supported options. ​
  1. Flexible Partial Dentures—made from flexible materials for partial tooth loss.​
    • Pros: More comfortable and adaptable than traditional partials.​
    • Cons: May not be as durable as metal-based partials. ​
  1. Temporary (Immediate) Dentures—placed immediately after tooth extraction.​
    • Pros: Provide a temporary solution during the healing process.​
    • Cons: May require adjustments as gums heal and shrink.

Implant-supported dentures are often considered the most natural in appearance and function. These dentures are anchored to dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone, providing superior stability and closely mimicking natural teeth. 

In terms of materials, porcelain is known for its translucent quality, closely resembling natural tooth enamel, delivering outstanding aesthetic results. However, it can be more fragile upon impact. Acrylic resin, on the other hand, is a popular alternative due to its adaptability and ability to create a natural-looking gum line. While it may not be as durable as porcelain

Recent innovations have introduced self-sticking dentures inspired by octopus suckers. These designs improve adhesion without adhesives, enhancing comfort and security.

In general, an implant bridge can replace two to six consecutive missing teeth. Two implants can support a three-tooth bridge, while three implants might support a four- or five-tooth bridge.

For patients missing an entire arch of teeth, the All-on-4 technique provides a solution by supporting a full fixed bridge on four implants. This approach can accommodate a prosthesis with 10 to 14 teeth, offering a comprehensive restoration for extensive tooth loss.

The most comfortable dentures depend on your needs, preferences, and oral anatomy. However, certain types are generally recognised for their enhanced comfort:​

  • Implant-Supported Dentures. Anchored to dental implants placed in the jawbone, these dentures minimise movement, reduce gum irritation, and enhance overall comfort.
  • Flexible Partial Dentures. Crafted from lightweight, flexible materials like nylon, these dentures adapt seamlessly to the shape of your mouth. Their pliability eliminates the need for metal clasps and reduces the likelihood of sore spots, making them a great option for added comfort.
  • Metal Framework Partial Dentures. Designed with a thin, lightweight metal structure, these dentures offer durability without unnecessary bulk. Their streamlined design covers less of your mouth, improving comfort and ease of wear.
  • Innovative Self-Sticking Dentures. Recent advancements have introduced self-sticking dentures inspired by octopus suction, enhancing adhesion without needing adhesives. These innovative designs provide a secure fit while improving overall comfort.
  • Custom-Fit Dentures. We tailor each set of dentures to your exact oral anatomy, ensuring a precise and secure fit. Using high-quality materials, our custom-fit dentures provide both comfort and a natural appearance.
