Dentures in Bundoora
Restoring Your Smile and Function
Dentures are removable appliances designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding gum tissue, restoring your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. At Diamond Dental Bundoora, we provide custom-designed dentures that are comfortable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing, ensuring they blend naturally with your facial features.
Whether you need a full set of dentures or a partial appliance to fill gaps, we offer solutions crafted with precision and care.
Understanding Dentures & Their Role
Losing teeth can impact your nutrition, speech, and self-esteem. Dentures address these issues by providing support for your lips and cheeks, restoring your facial contours, and giving you back a complete smile.
Types of Dentures We Offer:
Full (Complete) Dentures: Used when all the teeth in an arch (upper or lower jaw) are missing. They rest on the gums and underlying bone structure.
- Conventional Dentures are made after the remaining teeth have been removed and the gum tissue has healed (a process that can take several months).
- Immediate Dentures are inserted immediately after the removal of the remaining teeth, so you don't have to be without teeth during the healing period. Adjustments will be necessary as your jaw heals.
Partial Dentures: Used when one or more natural teeth remain. A partial denture fills the spaces created by missing teeth and is held in place by clasps attached to your existing natural teeth.
Implant-Supported Dentures: These revolutionary Dentures are secured onto a small number of Dental Implants strategically placed in the jaw. This dramatically increases stability, retention, and chewing efficiency, eliminating the worry of movement.
The Denture Customisation Process
Creating comfortable, well-fitting dentures is a multi-step process that requires careful measurements and laboratory work:
- Impression Taking: We take highly detailed impressions (moulds) of your jaw and existing teeth (for partials) to ensure a perfect fit.
- Bite Registration: We record how your jaws relate to one another and the amount of space between them.
- Trial Fitting (Wax Try-in): We let you try on a wax model of the denture, allowing you to check the fit, comfort, and, most importantly, the aesthetics (tooth size, shape, and colour) before the final denture is made.
- Final Denture Delivery: The final denture is fitted and adjusted for maximum comfort and function.

frequently asked questions
How long does it take to get used to new dentures?
It typically takes a few weeks to fully adjust. Initial difficulties with speaking and chewing are normal, as your mouth muscles learn to hold the appliance. Reading aloud and starting with soft foods can help speed up the adjustment process.
Should I wear my dentures at night?
We generally recommend removing your dentures at night to give your gums and jaw tissues a chance to rest and allow natural cleansing processes to occur. Always store them in water or a denture cleaning solution.
How long do dentures last?
Well-cared-for dentures typically last between 5 and 10 years. Over time, the gums and bone underneath change shape, meaning the dentures may need to be relined (refitted) or eventually replaced to maintain comfort and function.
Can I eat normally with dentures?
Yes, but take care with hard, sticky, or very tough foods, especially early on. With traditional dentures, you should cut food into small pieces and chew using both sides of your mouth to prevent the denture from tipping. Implant-Supported Dentures allow for a much closer return to natural chewing function.
How do I clean my dentures?
Clean them daily over a sink full of water (to prevent breakage if dropped). Use a soft-bristled brush and non-abrasive denture cleaner (not regular toothpaste, as it can be too abrasive). Rinse thoroughly and store them moist.
