Dentures

Missing teeth? Dentures are custom-made to restore your smile.

We're New Zealand's dental industry leaders and our competitive dentures prices and flexible payment options could be the ideal option for you.

Dentures have been helping people for many years and they’ve come a long way since then. They’re no longer an old-fashioned, removable set of false teeth that sit in a glass of water next to your bed.

Modern techniques mean dentures can be easily secured in place using dental implants to provide better stability. They cover less tissue, giving you an improved ability to taste, are more comfortable and they fit better in your mouth.

What are dentures?

Dentures are used to help bring back somebody’s smile when their own teeth are missing. Don’t worry, there’s no need to feel bad about getting dentures. They’re not just for the elderly who have lost some or all their teeth.

Dentures treatment usually begins with one more tooth extraction. After your gums have healed your dentist will fit your dentures which could be one of a few different types including full, partial or immediate dentures.

Dentures offer many benefits including enhancing your smile's appearance and improving your overall health. You will also be able to speak and eat better. Traditionally they have been removable, but dentures now can be secured in place using attachments such as dental implants.

How much do dentures cost?

The cost of dentures can depend on a few different factors. The price may depend on the scale of the treatment and the condition of your teeth. Each situation can be unique. We recommend booking a consultation with a dentist. At the consultation appointment, they will examine your teeth and be able to give you an estimate of the price.

Does it hurt to get dentures?

Our experienced dental team are experts at providing you the best care when getting your dentures placed. Making sure you feel comfortable during and after the procedure is a high priority. However, it’s normal to experience some pain and discomfort with your dentures, particularly after the procedure as it takes time to get used to your new dentures. Pain and swelling can be common following extraction and fitting. The pain will go away once the healing is complete and you have adjusted to your dentures. We recommend regular visits to the dentist following the fitting, as you adjust to your new dentures.

Is it difficult to eat once you get dentures?

It will usually take you a bit of time to adjust to your new dentures and eating may be a bit uncomfortable for a few weeks. We recommend eating soft foods and small pieces of food to start off with. Once you become used to your new dentures you will be able to return to your normal diet. You should continue to be careful when eating hard, hot or sticky foods.

What is the best way to clean dentures?

It’s important to keep your dentures clean as they’re prone to stains, plaque and tartar build-up. Just like brushing your teeth cleaning dentures is an easy and necessary process. A recommended cleaning process for full or partial dentures involves, using a denture-cleaning tablet in warm water (make sure it’s not too hot and enough to cover the denture). The next step is to use a soft brush and gently brush your dentures just like you would brush your teeth. Once you’ve brushed your dentures, rinse it thoroughly underwater.
