Comfortable & Quality Dentures In Mosman

Full Dentures are suitable for patients who have lost all their missing teeth or are experiencing significant oral health problems. There are two types of full dentures, which are immediate dentures and conventional dentures. Immediate dentures help the healing process of tissues and bone, and it is temporary after approximately 2-3 months. We recommend moving onto conventional dentures that are semi-permanent replacements for natural teeth.

Partial dentures fill in the spaces left by lost or missing natural teeth, this type of denture is attached to some of the natural teeth in the mouth to retain it—these suit patients who have lost at least one tooth to those who have lost several natural teeth. We offer a few different options depending on the patient’s preferences.

This type of partial denture consists of denture teeth embedded in a plastic base plate, with metal wires which clasp onto natural teeth to give the denture retention in the mouth. This is commonly the most inexpensive option when it comes to partial dentures.

Chrome cobalt dentures are dentures made from cast cobalt chrome framework/base. They are made of a type of alloy which consists of cobalt, chrome, chromium (which is added to prevent corrosion). The denture teeth are attached to the metal framework with a minimal amount of plastic. These dentures are made of a metal framework. They cover less surface area of the patient’s palate and can be thinner while maintaining their strength. It is more comfortable to wear as it is lighter, more delicate in width and more robust than the traditional acrylic denture.

Flexible partial dentures are made completely acrylic, but unlike the traditional acrylic denture, this type of denture is made with a plastic that consists of a flexible material. This option is popular because no metal is used for retention in the mouth, unlike the other two types. Depending on where the clasping needs to be located, sometimes the metal wires can be unsightly. We can incorporate the clasping with acrylic and blend it with your natural teeth with this flexible denture. It is making for a more aesthetically pleasing look.
