Precision-Made Dentures Built to Last

Full dentures require precision and expertise to ensure they provide the comfort and durability you need. At Alice Denture Clinic, we understand that a proper fit is critical—not only for your daily comfort but for the overall functionality of your dentures. Each denture is carefully designed to sit comfortably in your mouth, ensuring that they won’t cause irritation, soreness or discomfort when worn throughout the day.

Dentures that fit well also provide crucial support to your facial structure, preventing a ‘sunken’ look that can sometimes occur when teeth are missing or dentures aren’t fitted correctly. Our Dental Prosthetists also offer follow-up services to make any necessary adjustments after your dentures have settled, helping to ensure you're still enjoying how your dentures feel as your mouth adapts.

While adjusting to full dentures might feel challenging at first, most people adapt to them quickly and find them to be a practical solution. Whether it’s your first time considering dentures or you’re replacing an old set, we guide you through every step of the process.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do full dentures stay in place?

Full dentures stay in place through a combination of suction, the natural shape of your gums and sometimes denture adhesive. When properly fitted, the denture creates a seal along the gum line, which helps them stay securely in place. For upper dentures, the suction is often stronger due to the larger surface area of the palate, while lower dentures may feel less secure because of the tongue’s movement.

Some people find that using a denture adhesive provides extra stability, especially in the initial stages of getting used to dentures. Over time, as your mouth adapts, the fit may loosen slightly due to natural changes in the gum tissue, at which point a reline may be needed to improve the fit. Call us to explore your options.
What should I expect when first getting full dentures?

When first getting full dentures, it’s normal to experience some discomfort or soreness as your mouth adjusts. You may also notice slight changes in speech or difficulty eating certain foods. These issues are common and usually improve with time as your muscles adapt to holding the denture in place.

It’s important to start with softer foods and gradually reintroduce harder items into your diet as you become more comfortable. Regular check-ups with your dental provider help ensure your dentures fit properly and allow for any necessary adjustments during the early stages.

As for the cost, it is difficult to provide pricing without first establishing what each client wants and what their options may be. That's why Alice Denture Clinic provides consultations. At this early stage, we can discuss what you would like your end result to be. We can then provide you with a written quote, which lists all treatment options, costs and the stages involved.
How do I care for my full dentures?

Caring for full dentures involves regular cleaning and proper storage. Dentures should be removed and cleaned daily with a soft-bristle brush and a non-abrasive cleanser to remove food particles and plaque. Avoid using regular toothpaste, as it can be too abrasive for denture materials.

Specialised cleaning solutions can help to keep dentures fresh and reduce some of the bacteria. Alternatively, you can clean your dentures and store them in a container, allowing them to air-dry overnight. There is no need to store them in water, as this actually encourages bacterial growth.

Additionally, it’s important to maintain oral hygiene by brushing your gums, tongue and any remaining teeth to prevent gum irritation or infections. Contact us if you have any other questions about the care or maintenance of your dentures.
