Our Denture Services
New Full Dentures
For patients missing all teeth in an arch (upper, lower, or both), we create complete dentures that restore function, aesthetics, and facial support. We take careful impressions and design your dentures to look natural and feel stable.
Partial Dentures
If you retain some natural teeth, partial dentures can fill gaps without affecting existing healthy teeth. We design flexible or metal-clasp options to balance strength and comfort.
Immediate Dentures
In situations where teeth must be extracted, immediate dentures can be placed the same day so you don’t go without a functional smile during healing.
Denture Repairs & Relines
Break a denture? Notice it’s slipping? We offer:
- Crack / fracture repair
- Tooth replacement (on existing denture)
- Relining / rebasing to adapt to changes in your gums
- Adjustment and fine-tuning for pressure spots or discomfort
Many repairs can be completed in hours, especially with prompt drop-off.
Don’t attempt DIY fixes (e.g. glue). It can damage the acrylic and complicate proper repair.
How the Process Works
1
Assessment & Consultation
We examine your mouth, existing dentures (if any), and discuss your goals and budget.
2
Impressions & Planning
We take detailed moulds and measurements to ensure perfect fit, bite alignment, and aesthetics.
3
Try-in & Adjustments
Before finalising, we may offer a trial denture for fitting. You tell us what feels good or off, and we tweak it.
4
Final Delivery & Follow-up
Once the denture is ready, we fit it, show you how to insert / remove / care for it, and schedule a follow-up to fine-tune.
4
Repair Turnaround
For repairs, we assess damage, estimate cost, and complete the work. Some minor repairs we aim to finish same day.
Pricing & What to Expect
Because every mouth is unique, fixing or making dentures doesn’t come with a one-size-fits-all price. However, as a rough guide (Gold Coast market averages):
- Minor denture repairs (cracks, tooth reattachment): $100 – $200+
- Denture relines / rebasing: $300 – $500+
- Full dentures (upper + lower / custom design) may range higher depending on materials, design complexity, etc.
At Ashmore Smiles, we provide a clear quote after examination — no hidden fees.
Care Tips & Maintenance
To extend the life of your dentures:
- Clean daily with a soft brush and gentle cleaner (avoid harsh toothpaste).
- Soak overnight in denture solution or water (avoid hot water).
- Rinse after meals to remove debris.
- Handle carefully — avoid dropping or bending.
- Visit us regularly for check-ups; changes in your gums may require relines.
- Don’t wear damaged dentures — bring them in for repair promptly.
FAQs
How long do dentures last?
With good care, well-fitted dentures can last 5 to 8 years or more. However, gum changes, wear, or damage may require adjustments or replacement sooner.
How quickly can I get a denture repaired?
Many minor repairs (cracks, tooth replacement) can be done within hours or same day, especially if you bring it in early.
Can all dentures be repaired?
Most cracks, chips, or broken teeth can be fixed. But severe damage or repeated repairs may require making a new denture for durability.
Are dentures painful to wear initially?
You may experience slight soreness or adaptation period. We provide adjustment visits to eliminate pressure points and ensure comfort.
Will my speech or eating change?
Yes — initially you may notice slight changes with speech or chewing. Over a few weeks, most people adapt. We guide you through this process and adjust as needed.
