Full Dentures

Benefits of wearing Full Dentures

Full upper and lower dentures are an efficient and aesthetically pleasing solution for patients with major or total tooth loss looking for a full restorative treatment. Full dentures are highly customisable to ensure you can design a bright smile while offering a polished and cohesive look.

Full dentures provide a balanced and strong bite that is necessary to support your facial muscles to regain and maintain strength and protect your wider oral health against infections & conditions such as TMJ / TMD. They are an ideal solution for patients who lack the bone health and density for dental implants. 

How easy someone can get adjusted to wear a Full Denture
While dentures come with a learning curve as they both feel and act differently then natural teeth, you will be surprised how quickly our expertly crafted dentures become a comfortable extension of yourself. Initial discomfort is to be expected, as your gums and mouth adapt the dentures your dentist will make adjustments as needed to make certain you retain the greatest level of comfort and function throughout the healing process.
steps involved to construct full upper and full lower acrylic dentures
  • The first few crucial steps in the fabrication of acrylic, full upper and lower dentures is the impressions.
  • After the initial impression a custom tray is made to enhance the quality and fit of all subsequent impressions.
  • These models are articulated to accurately represent the patients jaw anatomy.
  • Teeth that have been sculpted to your likeness are set in a manner that assures the best form and function.
  • Wax is added around the teeth to build the contours that support the facial muscles and to camouflage the appearance of the dentures.
  • After patient approval the models are subjected to a process called ‘flasking’ that leaves the denture mould ready to be filled with acrylic.
  • After the Acrylic is mixed, packed and cured under pressure, the dentures are ready to be hand finished and adjusted and polished for delivery.
