Restorative Dentistry
Dentures made to fit your smile
Missing teeth can affect the way you eat, speak and feel about your smile. At Mount Druitt Dental, we provide full dentures, partial dentures and denture maintenance designed to restore comfort, function and confidence.
Modern dentures are lighter, more natural-looking and better fitting than many people expect. Every denture is planned around your mouth, facial features, bite and remaining teeth — with precise impressions and careful adjustments to achieve a comfortable fit.
Whether you're missing several teeth or need to replace a complete upper or lower arch, our team will help you choose a solution that suits your needs, lifestyle and budget.

Why Dentures
Replace missing teeth and restore your confidence
Gaps caused by missing teeth can make chewing difficult and may allow nearby teeth to shift. This can affect your bite and make your remaining teeth harder to clean.
Dentures replace missing teeth, support the lips and cheeks, and help restore a fuller facial appearance. A well-made denture can help you chew more comfortably, speak clearly and smile with greater confidence.
Because dentures are removable, they're also easy to clean and maintain. With good care, regular dental examinations and occasional adjustments, they provide an effective and affordable way to replace missing teeth.
Your Options
Full and partial dentures
Full dentures
Also known as complete dentures, these replace all teeth in the upper jaw, lower jaw or both arches — a gum-coloured base supporting natural-looking replacement teeth.
We assess your gums, jawbone and bite, then take precise impressions and measurements so the finished denture fits the shape of your mouth, supports your facial features and lets your upper and lower teeth meet comfortably.
Partial dentures
Partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth when some healthy natural teeth remain. They fill the spaces in your smile, improve chewing and help prevent nearby teeth from drifting out of position.
Replacement teeth attach to a gum-coloured base, often supported by discreet clasps connected to selected natural teeth. Different materials and designs suit different situations.
Natural Results
Natural-looking dentures made for your smile
Dentures should complement your face rather than look artificial. We carefully consider tooth colour, shape, size and position when planning your replacement teeth.
Before your denture is completed, you'll usually attend a try-in appointment. This lets you preview its appearance while we assess your speech, bite, tooth position and overall fit.
Adjustments can be made at this stage to help achieve a comfortable, natural-looking result before the final denture is produced.
Denture Maintenance
Repairs, relines and adjustments
Your gums and jawbone naturally change over time, which can leave an existing denture loose, unstable or uncomfortable. We can assess your current dentures and provide:
- Repairs for cracks or broken denture teeth
- Relines to improve the fit against your gums
- Adjustments for rubbing or pressure points
- Assessments for loose or unstable dentures
- Advice about cleaning and ongoing denture care
Please avoid repairing a broken denture with household glue — it can damage the denture, affect its fit and make professional repairs more difficult.
What To Expect
Your denture treatment, step by step
Consultation
We examine your mouth, gums and remaining teeth, and discuss your concerns, goals and suitable denture options.
Impressions & measurements
Precise impressions record the shape of your mouth, with bite and facial measurements to position the replacement teeth correctly.
Denture try-in
You preview your denture before it's completed — we assess appearance, speech, bite and tooth position, and make any changes.
Final fitting
Your completed denture is fitted and carefully checked, and we show you how to insert, remove, clean and care for it.
Follow-up adjustments
Minor adjustments are often needed as your mouth adapts. Contact us if you have persistent rubbing, sore spots or difficulty eating.
Aftercare
Caring for your new dentures
New dentures can take time to feel natural. Begin with softer foods cut into small pieces and chew slowly on both sides of your mouth. Reading aloud can help you adjust to speaking with your new denture.
Clean your dentures daily with a soft denture brush and suitable denture cleaner. Remove them overnight unless your dentist advises otherwise — and remember your gums, tongue and remaining natural teeth also need daily cleaning.
Regular dental visits let us examine your gums, check your bite and make sure your dentures continue to fit comfortably.
FAQs
Denture questions, answered
How long do dentures last?
Dentures can last several years, but their fit may change as your gums and jawbone change. Regular checks help identify when an adjustment, reline or replacement is needed.
Will my dentures look natural?
Modern dentures can closely resemble natural teeth. The colour, size, shape and position of the teeth are selected to complement your face and smile.
Are new dentures uncomfortable?
New dentures may initially feel unfamiliar and can cause minor sore spots. Follow-up adjustments usually improve comfort as your mouth adapts.
Can I eat normally with dentures?
Most patients return to a varied diet after an adjustment period. Begin with soft foods and gradually introduce firmer foods as your confidence improves.
What is the difference between full and partial dentures?
Full dentures replace all teeth in an upper or lower arch. Partial dentures replace selected missing teeth while some healthy natural teeth remain.
Can loose dentures be fixed?
A loose denture may be improved with an adjustment or reline. If the denture is heavily worn or damaged, replacement may be recommended.
