A gap from a missing tooth can leave you chewing on one side, and you may notice it every time you smile. You might have put off doing anything because you weren't sure whether you need a bridge, an implant or a denture. Partial dentures in Bannockburn VIC are one way to fill those gaps while keeping the natural teeth you still have. At our High Street clinic, a dentist checks your teeth and gums and tells you whether a partial denture suits you before anything is decided.
When You Need Partial Dentures
A partial denture is a removable plate or frame that holds one or more replacement teeth. It fits around your own teeth and is usually held by small clasps.
Reasons people consider a partial denture include:
- Some teeth are missing in one jaw, but the rest are healthy.
- A tooth has been taken out after decay, gum disease or an injury.
- A gap makes chewing harder, or you now avoid some foods.
- The teeth beside a gap aren't strong enough to hold a bridge.
Teeth beside a gap can drift into the space and change your bite. Many dental problems are simpler to treat when they're found early. A partial isn't right for everyone: if only a few weak teeth remain, ask us when a full denture makes more sense than a partial. You can also read how a bridge compares with a partial denture.
Our Partial Dentures Process
- Check-up first. A dentist checks your teeth, gums and any denture you already have. Decay or gum problems are usually treated before a partial is made.
- Options and fees. We explain which kind of partial suits you and what each option costs before any treatment starts.
- Moulds. We take impressions (moulds) of your mouth so the partial can be designed around your own teeth.
- Fitting. Your partial is fitted and adjusted at our clinic.
- Getting used to it. A new partial can feel bulky at first, and talking or eating may feel different for a while. Sore spots can happen, so we'll book you back in to adjust the fit. Food can collect around the clasps, so clean your partial and your own teeth every day. For general tips, see healthdirect's guide to wearing dentures.
Partial Dentures Cost in Bannockburn

We also accept DVA Gold and White Cards, invoiced to DVA. How long a partial lasts depends on how you care for it and how your mouth changes over time.

Common Questions About Partial Dentures in Bannockburn
How much do partial dentures cost in Bannockburn?
The cost of partial dentures in Bannockburn depends on how many teeth the denture replaces, the base material, and whether you need fillings, gum treatment or an extraction first. After your check-up, we explain each option and what it costs before any treatment starts. We accept all health funds and claim on the spot with HICAPS. Read about claiming a partial denture on your health fund.
Can I have a bridge instead of a partial denture in Bannockburn?
Sometimes you can have a bridge instead of a partial denture. A bridge is fixed to the teeth on either side of a gap, while a partial denture is removable and can replace teeth in several gaps at once. A bridge usually means shaping the teeth beside the gap, so it suits some mouths better than others. Find out about a fixed bridge instead of a removable partial.
How long does it take to get a partial denture in Bannockburn?
How long it takes to get a partial denture in Bannockburn depends on whether any teeth need treatment first and how your partial is made. Your first visit is a check-up, then we take moulds, and later the partial is fitted and adjusted at our clinic. See the steps from first visit to a fitted denture.
Will a partial denture feel strange at first?
A partial denture often feels strange at first, because your tongue, cheeks and lips need time to get used to it. Talking and eating may feel different for a while, and sore spots can need a small adjustment. Later on, as your gums change shape, a partial can feel loose again. Learn about refitting a partial that has worked loose.
Can I get a broken partial denture checked in Bannockburn on a Saturday?
Yes, our Bannockburn clinic is open on Saturdays from 9am to 1pm, as well as Monday to Friday from 9am to 6pm. If your partial has cracked or a clasp has broken, call us during opening hours first.
