It is very important to seek professional advice before you choose the denture that will suit your lifestyle. State-of-the-art dentures must be able to restore the natural movements of the jaw and phonetics. In addition, they must be compatible with the sensitive tissues in the mouth.
Dentures should be comfortable to wear, so that they are taken for granted during eating and speaking. Most importantly, the correct denture will restore a carefree smile to your face.
What is a Dental Prosthetist?
A dental Prosthetist is a highly qualified and skilled member of the dental profession who constructs, fits and provides a complete and professional denture care service. They will maintain, repair and reline dentures as required by the patient, or referring practitioner. Your Dental Prosthetist will personally consult, advise and assist you in all relevant aspects of your treatment and where necessary, provide you with appropriate treatment.
BPS Dentures - BPS Dentures are a systematic combination of clinically proven materials that together with the expertise of your dental prosthetist produces dentures that will fulfil your personal requirements.
Full Dentures - A full denture is a removable appliance replacing all of the natural teeth and the associated tissues and is supported by the gums. Full dentures can also be retained by implants for better stability and function.
Partial Dentures - A partial denture is a removable appliance replacing one or more missing natural teeth and associated tissues. It is supported by the natural remaining teeth and gums. It replaces what is lost and preserves what is left.
Implant Retained Dentures - Loose dentures can be remedied with the addition of implant anchors positioned by a Dental Surgeon. Your Dental Prosthetist will fit dentures over implants to provide stability, increased chewing force, reduced tissue irritations, and decreased bone loss.
Additions - If you have had or need to have a tooth extracted it is usually possible to add the tooth to your existing denture. A replacement clasp can also be added if necessary. This procedure may be performed either before or after the extraction occurs.
Relines - Relines restore the fitting surface of your old dentures and adapt them more closely to your gums in the same fashion as a new denture would. This can help reduce movement and improve suction as well as fill in areas that trap food particles.
Mouthguards - Custom mouthguards are made to fit the teeth and gums closely and therefore offer greater comfort and protection than pre-fabricated mouthguards. They not only help minimise dental injury but can also reduce the severity of concussion whilst playing contact sports.
HICAPS - HICAPS is an electronic health claiming and payments system that lets you process your claim automatically after your treatment and before you leave the surgery or practice. With HICAPS you no longer have to make a separate trip to your private health fund branch to lodge your claim or send your claim via the post. The claim is finalised on the spot immediately after your treatment.
