We haven't gone far....

We have moved our Denture Clinic in Reservoir from Edwardes Street to 233 Broadway, just across the railway overpass. It's a 10 min walk so please don't hesitate to visit us if you require any of our denture services. Our phone number remains as is, the only changed are the premises which are now more modern and up to date. Both Paul and Robert attend the clinic but please insure to make an appointment so we can have plenty of time to attend to you, without having to rush. Hope to see you soon and please spread the word?

Denture Repairs

My tooth has broken off and my denture has broken in half, HELP!

Although dentures are fabricated from durable materials all

type of dentures can break. We have not seen unbreakable denture materials yet. Just like your

natural tooth can break, a false tooth, a metal clip or the actual plate can chip or break off.

Usually this is due to heavy biting forces or biting onto something hard or tough and chewy food.

It is quite rare to break a chrome cobalt (metal type) denture and it’s not common to snap a fully

flexible type partial denture

however individual teeth can break off.

How may the break occur?

• Avoid biting on bones, hard crusts, hard confectionary and such kind

• Take care when cleaning your dentures as they can slip out of your hand falling onto a hard

surface such as your sink or a tile or a concrete floor

• Old, worn and poorly fitting dentures become weak and are prone to breakage Tips

• Do not bend or try to tighten metal or wire clips as this action can weaken them

• Place water into the sink in case the denture drops

• Don’t try to repair dentures using superglue as it may be toxic or render the denture unrepairable

• Remove dentures during sleep

• Keep your dentures safe as pets love to take them and chew them up

Can an extracted or lostnatural tooth be added to a denture?

Yes on most occasions this can be done although there are times when we would recommend a replacement or renewal of you entire denture(s) instead

Do consider

• Should I repair or replace older type or poorly fitting dentures?

• Do I have a spare in case of an emergency?

• Seek advice for ongoing maintenance and reoccurrence

Thanks for this info!

Could my dentures be actually harmful?

You should never consider your current set of dentures as the one and only set. Many people believe their dentures should last for 10-20 years, but this is not so. Generally, a denture should be reviewed every 1- 2 years for adjustment or after 6-8 years for a possible replacement.

Teeth on your dentures become worn down by continual use, the denture base may alter in shape and the supporting tissues may actually change as well. Even when your dentures feel quite comfortable, they should be inspected regularly to ensure no permanent damage is being done to your mouth or the joint around your ears.

If ever a sore or growth is discovered, you should immediately seek advice. These areas may be quite harmless, and only require minor adjustment to the denture, but only professional knowledge can evaluate and rectify the situation.

Look out for other symptoms that may occur:

· Cracked and continually sore corners of the mouth.

· A dull pain in, or about the ear.

· Impaired hearing

· A stuffy or stopping sensation in the ears, continuous, or with intervals of improvement.

· A clicking or snapping noise when chewing

· Mild or severe dizziness.

· Headache

· A burning sensation in the throat, tongue and side of the nose.

We invite you to ring our clinic to make a suitable time for a FREE appointment.

How much do flexible dentures cost?

We get lots of phone and email enquiries as to how much partial dentures cost. We understand you need to know but all we can offer is an approximate. We simply cannot give you an accurate quote without seeing you, your mouth condition and your old dentures. Acrylic and flexible dentures are quite cost effective .The fee varies between $850 and $1450 per denture . This is dependent on how many teeth are missing and what type of design and material would work best for you. Chrome partial dentures or combination chrome and flexible dentures are a little more costly. We do offer free denture checks. Why not contact us and make a time: Click here to contact us

No more gaps and missing teeth!

Get to see your smile before you get your new dentures

When we start to make your dentures be rest assured we make sure you are happy with the appearance. We use wax to bring your new dentures to the "TRY IN STAGE". You will be handed a mirror to see for yourself. Initially we will check all necessary dimensions as well as the previously taken bite registration. We will check the size and colour of the teeth, the number of teeth showing, check the centre of teeth and the formation and position of the lip. If all looks good and you agree we will then go ahead with your written authorisation to advance to the final finish state. Unless you are fully satisfied with the way your new smile looks we will not proceed to the final finish state.
