Dentures Pakenham

Dentures remain a popular and effective option for replacing missing teeth, helping restore your smile, speech, and ability to chew comfortably. At Integrated Dental Care, we create custom-made dentures designed for a secure, natural fit.

Types of Dentures

Full Dentures – Replace all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw (or both).
Partial Dentures – Used when only some teeth are missing, filling the gaps while supporting the remaining natural teeth.

Dentures can be made entirely from acrylic or combined with a metal base for added strength and support, depending on your needs.

What to Expect

To ensure a comfortable and stable fit, denture treatment typically involves several appointments. This allows us to take accurate measurements, make adjustments, and ensure your dentures are properly aligned with your gums and bite.

Caring for Your Dentures

Remove at Night: It's important to take your dentures out before sleeping to give your gums a chance to rest.
Soak Overnight: Store your dentures in water or a denture-cleaning solution to keep them from drying out. Dry dentures can warp, become brittle, and lose their proper fit.
Regular Adjustments: Over time, your gum shape can change, which may affect how your denture fits. Occasionally, the base may need to be relined or adjusted to maintain comfort and stability.

Regular Check-Ups Are Essential

Even if you wear full dentures, regular dental visits are still important. Conditions such as mouth ulcers or even oral cancers can develop under your denture and may go unnoticed without routine check-ups.

At Integrated Dental Care, we’re here to ensure your oral health remains in top condition and that your dentures continue to serve you well.
