Missing teeth? Bluewater Dental offers custom-crafted full and partial dentures that restore your smile, chewing function, and facial structure. Natural look, comfortable fit.
Dentures are removable dental appliances that replace missing teeth and surrounding tissue. Full dentures are used when all teeth are missing, while partial dentures fill gaps between healthy teeth. Modern dentures are made from advanced acrylic and flexible materials, providing a natural appearance and secure fit. They not only improve aesthetics but also support facial muscles, aid speech, and allow proper chewing.
Your journey begins with a thorough exam and impressions. We take precise measurements of your jaw relationship and gum tissue. A wax try-in lets you see and approve the shape and colour before final fabrication. After delivery, we’ll make adjustments for maximum comfort. Follow-up visits ensure proper fit – as gums heal and change over time, we can reline or rebase your dentures. The entire process typically takes 3–5 appointments over several weeks.
Remove and rinse dentures after eating. Brush daily with a soft brush and non-abrasive cleaner (not toothpaste). Soak overnight in water or a mild cleansing solution to keep them from drying out. Handle with care to avoid drops. Continue brushing your gums, tongue, and any remaining natural teeth. Visit us regularly for professional checks – ill‑fitting dentures can lead to sores, infections, or bone loss over time.
With proper care, dentures typically last 5 to 10 years. However, your mouth changes over time – bone and gum ridges shrink, so relining or replacement may be needed sooner to maintain a good fit.
There is an adjustment period of a few weeks. Start with soft foods cut into small pieces, and read aloud to practise speech. Most people adapt quickly and eat a normal diet with confidence.
No, we recommend removing dentures at night to give your gum tissue a rest and prevent fungal infections. Soak them in water or cleanser while you sleep.
Partial dentures start around $1,200, while full conventional dentures range from $2,000 to $4,500 depending on materials and number of teeth replaced. We provide itemised quotes and payment plans.
Many major and extras policies include dentures up to annual limits. We can help you check your coverage and submit claims on your behalf.
Implant-supported dentures offer superior stability and prevent bone loss, but they cost more and require surgery. We can discuss both options during your consultation.
Clean clasps and metal parts gently with a soft brush to avoid bending. Use a non-abrasive cleaner and never boil the denture. Soak as directed.
