Dentures in Tamworth: Full, Partial & Implant-Retained

    Custom dentures fitted and cared for at our Northgate practice

    Modern full and partial dentures
    Dentures made to fit your mouth

    Oasis Smiles Dental provides full dentures, partial dentures and implant-retained dentures for patients across Tamworth and the New England region. Your dentist plans the denture, checks your gums and any remaining teeth, and looks after the fit and adjustments at our practice at Northgate Shopping Centre.

    Losing several teeth can make it hard to eat the foods you enjoy, change the way you speak, and over time affect the shape of your face as the jaw loses support. A well-fitting denture can help you eat, speak and smile more comfortably again. If a traditional denture feels loose, an implant-retained denture may give you more stability.

    The Denture Process

    1. Consultation. We examine your mouth, take X-rays if needed, and talk through full, partial and implant-retained options with a written quote. Any teeth that need to come out, or gum problems, are treated first.
    2. Impressions and bite. We take detailed impressions of your mouth and record how your jaws meet, so the denture fits and you can bite evenly.
    3. Try-in. You see and try a set-up of your new teeth, so we can adjust the shade, shape and position before the denture is finished.
    4. Fitting and adjustments. We fit the denture, check for pressure points, and see you again for follow-up adjustments while you get used to it.

    Caring for Your Dentures

    Rinse your dentures after eating and brush them daily with a soft brush and denture cleaner. Take them out overnight and keep them in water or a soaking solution so they don't dry out. Brush your gums, tongue and any natural teeth too. Your mouth slowly changes shape over time, so a denture that once fitted well can loosen. Regular check-ups let us check the fit, adjust it or talk about a reline or replacement when needed, and screen your mouth for other problems.

    Types of Dentures We Offer

    Full dentures

    Replace all the teeth in your upper or lower jaw with a complete set.

    Partial dentures

    Replace a few missing teeth, clipping onto your remaining natural teeth for support. Options can include chrome (metal-framed) partials.

    Implant-retained dentures

    A denture that clips onto dental implants for more stability when eating and speaking.

    Who Are Dentures For?

    Often a good fit if you:

    • Are missing all your teeth in one or both jaws
    • Are missing several teeth in different parts of your mouth
    • Want a removable option that is usually less costly than implants
    • Have a denture that is worn, cracked or no longer fits

    Another option may suit you better if:

    • Only one or two teeth next to each other are missing: a bridge or an implant may suit
    • Your current denture moves when you eat: an implant-retained denture may help

    Compare options on our dental bridges and dental implants in Tamworth pages.

    Dentures: Frequently Asked Questions

    Full dentures replace all the teeth in your upper or lower jaw. Partial dentures replace a few missing teeth and clip onto your remaining natural teeth for support, which also helps stop those teeth drifting. Some partials have a chrome (metal) framework for extra strength.

    An implant-retained denture clips onto two or more dental implants placed in the jaw. It is more stable than a traditional denture, so it is less likely to move when you eat or speak, and you can still remove it yourself for cleaning. Suitability depends on your bone and general health, which we assess with 3D imaging.

    The cost depends on whether you need a full or partial denture, the materials used, how many teeth are replaced, and whether any extractions or other treatment are needed first. Implant-retained dentures cost more because they include implants. We give you a written quote after your consultation. Many health fund extras policies contribute to dentures, we can claim on the spot with HICAPS, and we accept DVA.

    We choose the shade, size and shape of the denture teeth to suit your face and, where you have them, your remaining natural teeth. You can see and try the set-up before the denture is finished.

    Most people need a few weeks to get used to eating and speaking with new dentures. Sore spots are common early on and are easily adjusted, so let us know rather than putting up with them. Start with soft foods cut into small pieces and chew on both sides.

    Usually, yes. Taking dentures out overnight gives your gums a rest. Clean them and keep them in water or a soaking solution so they don't dry out and change shape.

    Rinse your dentures after eating, brush them daily with a soft brush and denture cleaner (not regular toothpaste, which can scratch them), and soak them overnight. Your mouth changes shape over time, so come in for regular check-ups so we can check the fit and look after your gums and any remaining teeth.
