Partial Dentures On The Sunshine Coast

Quality Partial Denture Services

As an alternative to full dentures or crowns, partial dentures are an excellent option for many of our patients. Whether another dentist has recommended us, or you’re simply looking for options to buy dentures, our service at The Denture Care Group on the Sunshine Coast is amongst the best available in Australia for quality solutions.

Your remaining natural teeth will be adequately supported, as grinding and chewing motions can be distributed evenly. At The Denture Care Group Sunshine Coast, we design partial dentures to be virtually indistinguishable from your natural tooth appearance. We see patients in our Caloundra, Maleny and Woombye clinics. 

Whether you’ve lost teeth in the top or bottom of your jaw, our prosthetists will carefully customise a robust denture that will help you regain full use of your mouth and stop your natural teeth from becoming misaligned. 

Make an appointment to chat about a partial denture on (07) 5491 2288—our technicians provide friendly advice and support you throughout the procedure.   

What Are Partial Dentures?

Partial dentures are similar to full dentures but include spaces where your natural teeth still exist. For example, if you’ve had multiple teeth removed but you still have several healthy, natural teeth in your mouth, a partial denture may be a better choice for you. These help preserve your teeth and ensure no shifting into the gaps left where teeth have been removed.

At The Denture Care Group Sunshine Coast, we undertake the process for new dentures over five or six appointments (although sometimes fewer). We will:

• Complete a free consultation: Our prosthetists examine your mouth to determine if a partial denture is the right treatment option for you. We’ll discuss different types of partial dentures available and help you choose the one that best meets your needs.
• Create dental impressions: Impressions will be taken of your mouth to create a model of your teeth. This model is used to design and manufacture your denture onsite.
• Schedule fitting appointments: You will be able to see and try out your denture before it’s finalised. This gives you the opportunity to make sure you’re happy with the fit and appearance. 

Once you have received your denture, it’s important to practice speaking and eating, as it may take time to get used to. You’re welcome to return to our clinics if needed until the fit feels right for you. 

Types Of Partial Dentures

Partial acrylic dentures are an easy and highly affordable solution for someone with the problem of missing teeth. They are utilised for replacing one or more teeth missing from the lower or upper jaw. The acrylic denture is placed and attached alongside the natural teeth.

The partial acrylic denture fits nicely against the gum and remaining teeth. Acrylic dentures help to prevent the natural teeth from moving out of position whilst potentially improving the aesthetic of the mouth.

We provide patients throughout the Sunshine Coast with custom-made acrylic dentures. Call now to book an appointment with our friendly team.

Partial Chrome or Metal Dentures

What are Chrome or Metal Dentures?

Chrome partial dentures are also known as metal dentures because it is made from metal alloy, which is known for its strength and elasticity. The metals are cast into a framework that fits around your natural teeth. partial dentures are the more durable and long-lasting solution to missing teeth. We make a lot of metal dentures for our patients. We use the highest quality products and materials that we have sourced from all over the world. 

We highly recommend getting Chrome partial dentures to our patients because of the following reasons:

• Chrome dentures are more durable and long-lasting compared to acrylic dentures.
• Metal dentures are thinner and lighter in the palate.
• Chrome partial dentures have a better fit and because the metal alloy is so strong, they are less prone to breaking.

Valplast Partial Dentures

Valplast partial dentures are an attractive, comfortable, and affordable option for tooth replacement. Valplast dentures are made from thermoplastic nylon resin. These partial dentures are thin, lightweight, and flexible. They feature tooth and gum-coloured clasps that surround the natural teeth.

Valplast flexible partials offer high esthetic results and blend more evenly with the wearer’s natural tissue and surrounding dentition than metal-based dentures.
