Custom, Natural-Looking Dentures
in Murwillumbah, NSW

We offer several types of dentures to meet your specific needs:

• Complete dentures: For patients who have lost all their teeth
• Partial dentures: For patients missing some teeth
• Immediate dentures: Placed right after tooth extraction
• Implant-supported dentures: Secured with dental implants for enhanced stability and comfort

Most patients adapt to their new dentures within 2-8 weeks. Initially, you may experience some discomfort, difficulty speaking or eating, and increased saliva production. This is completely normal.

Daily denture care is essential for maintaining oral health and extending the life of your dentures:

• Rinse them after eating
• Brush with a soft-bristled denture brush and special denture cleaner (never use regular toothpaste)
• Soak them overnight in denture solution
• Handle them carefully to avoid dropping
• Remove your dentures at night to give your gums time to rest

With proper care, dentures typically last 5-10 years before needing replacement. However, they may require adjustments, relines, or repairs during this time as your mouth naturally changes.

Yes, you can eat most foods with dentures, though there may be an adjustment period. Here are some helpful tips:

• Start with soft foods and gradually reintroduce harder foods
• Cut food into smaller pieces
• Chew slowly and evenly on both sides
• Avoid extremely sticky, hard, or small foods that could dislodge your dentures

With time and practice, you'll regain confidence in eating your favorite meals.

At Murwillumbah Family Dental, we pride ourselves on providing exceptional denture services with a family-focused approach:

Our goal is to restore your confidence and quality of life with dentures that look natural, fit comfortably, and function beautifully.

Dentures are typically recommended when you've lost all or most of your natural teeth due to decay, gum disease, or trauma. Common signs include:

• Difficulty chewing or eating a variety of foods
• Chronic bad breath or persistent bad taste in mouth
• Visible gaps between teeth or teeth that appear crooked
• Difficulty speaking clearly or a noticeable change in your speech
• Shrinking of facial features or a "sunken" appearance

A comprehensive dental examination with X-rays and a thorough assessment of your oral health will determine if dentures are right for you and what type would be most suitable.

Dentures offer numerous benefits that can significantly improve your quality of life:

• Restore your ability to chew and eat a wide variety of foods
• Improve your speech and confidence in social situations
• Restore facial structure and prevent a sunken appearance
• Eliminate bad breath and improve your overall oral hygiene
• Provide a natural-looking, comfortable solution that blends with your smile

With proper care and regular maintenance, dentures can provide you with a functional, aesthetic, and confidence-boosting solution for years to come.
