Dentures remain a reliable and affordable way to replace missing teeth and restore confidence in your smile. Modern dentures are more natural-looking, comfortable, and functional than ever before, helping people eat, speak, and smile with greater ease.
At The Point Dental, we take a personalised, supportive approach, especially for patients who feel anxious, embarrassed, or unsure where to begin. Whether you need a partial denture, a full denture, or are exploring different long-term options, we’re here to guide you clearly and respectfully.
Dentures are custom-made prosthetic teeth designed to replace multiple missing teeth or a full set of teeth. They sit on the gums and are crafted to match the natural shape, colour, and contours of your mouth.
Dentures can help you:
Improve your ability to chew and speak
Restore facial shape and support
Enhance smile confidence
Replace missing teeth affordably
Maintain oral health and prevent shifting
While dentures remain a practical option for many patients, the fit, comfort, and function can vary depending on individual anatomy and ongoing changes in the gums and jaw. A thorough assessment allows us to determine whether dentures are suitable for you and to discuss alternative options if a more stable or long-term solution is preferred.
Full Dentures (Complete Dentures)
These replace all upper teeth, all lower teeth, or both.They are designed to fit comfortably over the gums and provide a natural-looking smile.
If you’d like to explore how full dentures compare with more stable options like overdentures or All-on-4, you can read more in our tooth replacement guide.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures replace several missing teeth while keeping your remaining natural teeth in place. They clip or rest around your existing teeth to restore function and appearance.
Immediate Dentures
These are placed on the same day your natural teeth are removed, giving you an immediate smile during the healing phase.
Signs You May Need Dentures
You may benefit from dentures if:
You have several missing teeth
Chewing has become difficult or uncomfortable
You hide your smile due to gaps or missing teeth
Your current denture feels loose or uncomfortable
Your teeth are failing and need removal
You’ve been told you are not currently suitable for implants
Dentures are a dependable option for restoring your smile, and for many patients, they can also be a stepping stone to more stable solutions later.
Creating dentures requires care, precision, and multiple stages to ensure comfort and natural appearance.
Timeline: Typically completed over 3-5 appointments
A well-made denture should feel:
Secure (but removable)
Smooth against the gums
Natural in appearance
Comfortable for daily wear
Some patients adapt quickly, while others need a little more time. Mild rubbing, extra saliva, or small speech changes are normal at first.
We guide you through every stage of the adjustment period.
How Much Do Dentures Cost?
Denture pricing varies depending on:
Dentures at The Point Dental typically start from $1,500, with a full, itemised quote provided before treatment begins.
Private health insurance may contribute depending on your extras cover. Payment plans are available for patients who prefer to spread out the cost.
Dentures typically last 5–8 years, depending on:
Changes in your gums and bone
Daily wear and tear
How well they are cleaned and maintained
Gums can shift over time, meaning your denture may loosen. Relining or replacing your denture can restore comfort and fit.
If you’d like a more stable or fixed-feeling option, you can learn about overdentures or All-on-4 dental implants as part of your long-term planning.
