Options for replacing missing teeth
Our team is committed to working closely with our patients to provide you with the right denture solution for your needs and budget.
If you have lost your natural teeth due to injury, damage or decay, be assured that our specialists have access to a range of denture materials and treatment options to restore your smile.
If you are only missing a few teeth and still have natural teeth remaining, you may be a good candidate for a partial denture. Partial Dentures are removable and are made to fill the space left by missing teeth but also prevent your remaining teeth from changing position. They can be crafted from a variety of materials and have the advantage of a designed to coordinate with the remaining teeth where appropriate.
Suction dentures are made using a special impression technique that significantly increases the retention of a denture until it sucks onto the gum with atmospheric pressure. A well-made suction denture requires manual power to break the seal when attempting to remove the denture from the mouth. Suction dentures are only suitable for patients with no teeth.
An immediate denture is a complete or partial denture made out of dental acrylic that is usually inserted the day your natural teeth are removed. They can be worn while healing takes place to provide a temporary tooth-replacement option during healing.
Telescopic Dentures are a German technology, new to Australia and available to Toowoomba patients of Dr Florian Mack.
Telescopic Dentures are a partial denture – fixed but removable and fitted on a few remaining teeth. Telescopic dentures are an alternative to implant-supported full-arch treatment in selected patients and may be suitable for those who have lost the majority of the natural teeth due to injury, illness or ageing.
All-On-4 is an innovative, advanced dentures technique that uses just four implant posts to attach a new set of replacement top or bottom teeth (or both) to the jawbone. Having fewer implants significantly reduces the overall treatment time, recovery time and cost, compared with individual implants.
All-On-4 is most suitable for patients that are lacking all of their teeth on one or both arches or are soon to have all of their teeth extracted.
TSD is delighted to provide all of these denture and implant treatment options to the Medici Centre region. Talk to us today or book your consultation below.
Adjusting to dentures can take time, and some patients may experience changes in speech or eating, movement of the dentures, or sore areas. Retention and stability vary between individuals. Dentures require regular cleaning and dental reviews and may need adjustments, repairs, relining or replacement over time as the fit changes.
Our team includes registered dental specialists and experienced clinicians providing care across several areas of dentistry.
