A denture that rubs, slips or has cracked can make eating and talking harder. You may have tried more denture adhesive, or put up with sore spots for months. At our Denture Care Centre in Bannockburn, our dentists fit, adjust, repair and reline dentures for patients from across Golden Plains. If you need your first set, or help with the one you have, you're in the right place for dentures in Bannockburn.

Signs You Need Dentures, a Repair or a Reline

Common signs it's worth having your mouth or denture checked:

  • Your denture feels loose, drops when you talk, or needs more adhesive than it used to.
  • You have sore spots, ulcers or red patches where the denture sits.
  • Your denture has a crack or a chip, or a tooth has come off it.
  • Chewing has become harder, or you now avoid some foods.
  • You have one or more missing teeth, and the gaps make eating or smiling harder.

A loose denture often means your gums have changed shape, which is normal over time. A reline may be enough to fix the fit, or a repair may do. A new denture can make more sense when it is worn or has been repaired many times. A dentist can tell you which suits you.

Denture adhesive can help for a while, but it doesn't fix a denture that no longer fits, and home glue kits may not hold. Many dental problems are simpler to treat when they're found early. If your denture is loose, broken or sore, it's a good idea to have it checked soon. Call and we'll find the earliest suitable time.

Our Denture Options

We start by looking at your mouth, your gums and any teeth you still have. Then we explain the options that fit you, and what each one involves, before anything is decided.

Full dentures replace all the teeth in your upper jaw, your lower jaw, or both. They suit people who have already lost all the teeth in that jaw, or whose remaining teeth can't be kept. We fit and adjust them at our High Street clinic.

Partial dentures replace one or several missing teeth when you still have healthy teeth of your own. A partial denture is designed around those teeth and comes out for cleaning.

Denture repairs fix a cracked or broken denture, or replace a tooth that has come off it. Call ahead so we can plan the repair with you. Depending on the damage, a repair may be done on the same day.

Denture relines refit a loose denture so it sits snugly against your gums again. A reline is often a good choice when the denture is still in good shape but the fit has changed.

Other Ways to Replace Missing Teeth

Dentures aren't the only way to fill a gap. Some people ask about implant-based options for missing teeth, which are fixed into the jaw. Dr Vivek Juneja places implants here at our clinic. Others prefer a fixed bridge that fills a gap, which is attached to the teeth on either side. We'll talk you through how each option compares with a denture for your mouth, budget and health. For a plain-English overview of denture types, see healthdirect's guide to dentures and how to care for them.

Denture Assessment

A denture assessment is a visit to look at your current denture, or at your missing teeth, so you can understand your options before you decide anything.

At the assessment, we check how your denture fits and look at your gums and any remaining teeth. We then explain whether a repair, a reline or a new denture makes the most sense, and what each option costs, before any treatment starts. Bring your current denture with you, even if it's broken, so we can look at it.

It's a good first step if your denture has started to feel different, or if you've been putting off replacing missing teeth. To book, call (03) 4217 3810.

What happens at a denture assessment in Bannockburn?

Then we explain whether a repair, a reline or a new denture suits you, and what each costs. Find out more about partial denture options for a few missing teeth.

How do I know if my denture needs a reline or a new one?

A denture usually needs a reline when it has become loose but is otherwise in good condition, because your gums have changed shape. A new denture may make more sense if it is cracked, worn down or has been repaired many times. A dentist can check the fit and tell you which suits you. Learn about refitting a denture that has become loose.

Is a partial denture, bridge or implant better for a missing tooth?

No one option suits everyone. A partial denture is removable and can replace several teeth, a bridge is fixed to the teeth on either side of a gap, and an implant is fixed into the jaw. The right choice depends on your remaining teeth, your gums, your health and your budget. You can compare them on our page about replacing missing teeth with a bridge.

Are your Bannockburn dentists registered?

Yes. Our Bannockburn dentists are registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra), as every practising dentist in Australia must be. You can check any dentist's registration yourself on the Ahpra public register of practitioners. You can also meet our Bannockburn dentists and read a little about each member of our owner-run team.
