Living with no teeth, or with a full denture that slips and rubs, can make eating and talking hard work. You may have tried more adhesive, switched to soft food, or started leaving your denture out. A full denture replaces all the teeth in one jaw, and we fit and adjust full dentures in Bannockburn VIC at our High Street clinic. If you're ready to talk about a new set, you're in the right place.
When You Need Full Dentures
A full denture, also called a complete denture, is a removable set of teeth for a jaw with no natural teeth left. You may need one if:
- You've lost all the teeth in your upper or lower jaw, or both.
- Your remaining teeth are too damaged or loose to keep, which a dentist checks first.
- Your full denture is worn, cracked, loose or often repaired.
- Missing teeth make it harder to chew, speak or smile.
Tooth decay, gum disease and injury are common causes of tooth loss. If you have healthy teeth left, keeping some natural teeth with a partial denture may suit you better. If your full denture is only loose, relining a full denture as your gums change may be enough. If your denture hurts or no longer fits, it's a good idea to have it checked soon. Call and we'll find the earliest suitable time.
Our Full Dentures Process
- Assessment. A dentist checks your gums, jaw and any remaining teeth, and your current denture if you have one.
- Options and fees. We explain your options and what each one costs before any treatment starts.
- Moulds and measurements. Your dentist takes moulds (impressions) of your gums and records how your jaws meet, so the denture is made to suit your mouth.
- Fitting and adjustments. Your full denture is fitted and adjusted at our clinic.
- Follow-up. New full dentures often need small adjustments as you get used to them, so we'll book you back to check the fit.
New full dentures can feel bulky or loose at first and can rub, causing sore spots. A lower full denture is often harder to keep steady than an upper one. Your gums and jaw also change shape over time, so the fit changes too.
Full Dentures Cost in Bannockburn
The cost of full dentures in Bannockburn depends on whether you need an upper denture, a lower denture or both, the materials used, and whether any teeth need to come out first. After your assessment, we'll explain your options and what each one costs before any treatment starts. We accept all health funds and claim on the spot with HICAPS. We also accept DVA Gold and White Cards, invoiced to DVA.

Common Questions About Full Dentures in Bannockburn
How much do full dentures cost in Bannockburn?
The price of full dentures in Bannockburn depends on whether you need an upper, a lower or both, the materials, and whether any teeth must be removed first. After your assessment, we explain each option and its cost before treatment begins. We accept all health funds with HICAPS on the spot, plus DVA Gold and White Cards. Read about health fund claims for a full set of dentures.
How many visits does it take to get full dentures in Bannockburn?
The number of visits for full dentures depends on your mouth, whether any teeth need to come out first, and how the denture is made. Your dentist will explain the likely steps and timing at your assessment, before anything starts. Every fitting and adjustment happens at our High Street clinic. See preparing for your first full-denture appointment.
How long does it take to get used to new full dentures?
Getting used to new full dentures takes time, and it's different for each person. Eating and speaking can feel strange at first, so soft food cut into small pieces and reading aloud can help. Sore spots can appear early on, and a dentist can adjust the denture to ease them. As your gums change over the years, a reline when a full denture starts to slip can help the fit.
Can I get full dentures in Bannockburn if I still have a few teeth left?
It depends on whether your remaining teeth can be kept, which a dentist checks first. If they can't be saved, they may need to come out before a full denture is fitted. If some can be kept, a partial denture may suit you better, and some people also ask how implants compare with a full denture. Dr Vivek Juneja places implants at our clinic.
Can I get my full denture adjusted in Bannockburn on a Saturday?
Yes, we're open in Bannockburn on Saturdays from 9am to 1pm, and Monday to Friday from 9am to 6pm. If a new denture is rubbing, or your full denture has cracked, call us during opening hours first. We fit emergency patients in between booked appointments wherever we can. If it has broken, read about repairs for a broken full denture.
Is the dentist fitting my full denture in Bannockburn registered with Ahpra?
Yes. Every dentist at our Bannockburn clinic is registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra), as all practising dentists in Australia must be. You can check any dentist's registration on the national register of practitioners kept by Ahpra. You can also read about who fits and adjusts dentures here.
