Dentures in
West Perth

When you smile, laugh, or talk, your teeth are often one of the first things people notice. Missing teeth can affect comfort, speech, and confidence, but dentures may help restore function and appearance.

At West Perth Dental Centre, we provide custom-made full and partial dentures tailored to your needs. Our in-house laboratory, supported by 3D printing machines and digital technologies including the Dentsply Sirona Primescan, iTero Scanner, and 3Shape TRIOS Scanner, helps support accurate impressions and treatment planning.

During your consultation, our team will discuss suitable options and whether dentures may be appropriate for your individual circumstances.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?

Dentures are a great way to get new teeth and achieve a more beautiful smile. While they are usually recommended for people who have lost most or all of their natural teeth, they are not for everybody. You are eligible for dentures if you have the following qualifications:

You Have a Sufficient Amount of Healthy Gums

Dentures require your gums to provide the foundation for them to stay in place. Healthy gums are able to withstand the pressure of dentures and will help with a good fit.

You Have Enough Bone Structure for Support

If your jawbone does not have enough density, you may need to undergo an additional procedure, such as dental implants or a sinus lift, before getting dentures.

What You Need to Know About Dentures

Dentures replace missing teeth and improve oral function and appearance. Understanding how dentures work helps one make appropriate choices about oral health. Dentures provide a natural-looking smile and can significantly improve your quality of life by addressing issues related to missing teeth, such as difficulty eating or speaking.

Denture Materials

Dentures can be made from materials such as acrylic resin and metal. Each material offers unique benefits, like improved durability and a more natural appearance, to meet individual needs and preferences.

Benefits of Dentures

Dentures restore the ability to chew and speak properly, improving oral function and enhancing facial aesthetics by supporting the cheeks and lips. This reduces the appearance of sagging and contributes to a more youthful look.

Denture Fitting Process

The fitting process involves taking detailed impressions of your mouth to create a custom-fit denture. Several adjustments may be needed to achieve comfort and proper alignment, providing a secure and natural feel for everyday use.

Adjusting to New Dentures

Adjusting to new dentures may take a few weeks or months, during which you may experience discomfort, speech challenges, and difficulty eating. However, these issues disappear with time and practice as you become more comfortable with your dentures.
