Dentures In Sydney

• The examination

First, our highly experienced dentists at No Gaps Dental will examine your teeth and gums to assess the state of your oral health. We‘ll be looking for any indication of dental infection, tooth decay, or old dental work that may hinder the dentures process. We’ll also ascertain whether any problem teeth need to be removed before fitting your new dentures.

• Impression taking and measuring

Next, we’ll take careful and detailed measurements, considering crucial aspects like facial size and the specifics of your mouth. Our Sydney dentists will then take a mould of your mouth. The digital impressions we take using a 3D digital scanner, ensure your new dentures are a perfect fit.

We’ll also talk to you about aesthetics such as gum and tooth colour to make your denture appear as lifelike as possible. Once all the specifications have been agreed, our prosthetist creates your custom appliance.

• The art of sublime dentures – The making process

Typically, in a denture clinic setting, the construction process would take around 2-3 weeks to complete. However, custom dentures and mouthguards are usually completed within a faster time frame. Patients may also liaise directly with our in-house denture clinic to ensure that every detail is understood and met.

Given all the information, our experts will use their artistic skill and technical ability to ensure they construct a finished denture or mouthguard that is designed to perfectly match the patient’s unique requirements in terms of function and form. Thus reducing the possibility of re-work.

• First fitting here in Sydney NSW

Once we’re ready for the fitting, you’ll be asked to attend a second appointment. At last  you’ll get to see the dentures that our experts have lovingly crafted. You will be shown how to insert them into your mouth and our No Gaps dentist will check for aesthetics, fit, comfort, and bite. Loose dentures can cause oral health problems like sore gums, so having the right fit is key.

One advantage of having in-house prosthetics is that we can carry out most adjustments in our denture clinic to ensure the best fit, on the day of fitting.

If you’re looking for dentures in Sydney NSW, call any one of our No Gaps Dental clinics across our 15 Sydney locations. We can restore your smile, however difficult you might think it is. Why not book an appointment today and see for yourself.

• Top tips from our experts, to make your dentures last

Oral prosthetics like removable dentures are a substantial investment in your overall health and wellbeing. As such, it’s vital to maintain them so that they fit comfortably and beautifully in the mouth for many years to come. Here are some top tips to do just that.

• Give your dentures a thorough clean every night – Use a denture cleaning solution and a proper denture brush for best results. Ensure the prosthetic teeth and gums are cleaned as well as the part that fits into the mouth. Finally, rinse off with cool water not hot.

• Handle with care – Modern dentures look and feel great but they are also fragile so careful handling is key. As a top tip, place a towel in the sink when cleaning to avoid chipping and cracking.

• Store dentures in water – One of the biggest problems with oral prosthetics like dentures is that people will clean them and leave them to dry overnight. Unfortunately this can cause them to warp or twist. When this happens they become uncomfortable and problematic to wear. So once cleaned, always store them in either an overnight denture cleaning solution or water for best and long lasting results.
