Fitting Dentures in Maitland

Your Local Denture Clinic

Our teeth tend to wear and deteriorate as we get older, and sometimes that damage cannot be completely repaired. Full and partial dentures are an economic solution for patients who would like to have a complete smile once again. Our custom-made dentures are produced locally, look natural and can restore both form and function. Before creating the official dental prosthetic, we will make a wax try-in, so that we can get the fit exactly right.

Contact our friendly team today on (02) 4933 5081 to book an appointment. Everyone deserves to have a beautiful smile.

Full & Partial Dentures

A full denture is a removable dental appliance that replaces all the teeth in either the upper or lower jaws. A partial denture fills in the spaces left by missing teeth and is attached to remaining natural teeth.

At Maitland Dental Care, we fit full and partial dentures to suit patients who have lost all or some of their teeth. Whatever you need, we can tailor a solution to suit, offering a natural-looking set of new teeth. Our dentists will provide an examination to determine whether full or partial dentures are required. If full dentures are chosen, and you still have remaining teeth, we can also perform extractions.

Get in touch to discuss which dental prosthetic best suits you.

Implant Overdentures

Implant retained overdentures are a type of dental prosthesis that is supported by dental implants. They are used to replace one or more missing teeth and are removable by the patient.

At Maitland Dental care we fit implant overdentures. Once dental implants have been placed and they have integrated with the bone, the implant retained overdentures can be fitted to the implants. Implant retained overdentures have many benefits including being much more stable and comfortable than traditional dentures.

Contact our friendly team to learn more about implant overdentures and see if they are the right fit for your mouth.

Dentures are removable false teeth, while crowns and bridges are fixed dental appliances. Crowns fit over the entire surface of a tooth and cover the tooth’s natural crown, while bridges attach to two or more surrounding teeth and support a false tooth or teeth in the middle. Ultimately, the decision of whether you would benefit most from dentures or fixed dental prosthesis is something you should discuss with your dentist.
