Replacing missing teeth supports oral function and helps maintain the position of surrounding teeth. When teeth are not replaced, neighbouring teeth may shift into the space, which can affect bite alignment and oral health over time.
At BMB Dental Clinic, we provide dentures in Mona Vale as a removable option for tooth replacement. We assess your individual needs and design dentures based on your oral condition and treatment goals.
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are removable dental appliances used to replace missing teeth. They are designed to restore function and assist with everyday activities such as chewing and speaking.
We construct dentures using materials such as acrylic or a combination of acrylic and metal. The design and material depend on your clinical needs and preferences.
Types of Dentures
We provide different types of dentures in Mona Vale. The most suitable option depends on your oral health, the number of missing teeth and your treatment requirements.
Flexible Dentures
Flexible dentures are made from all-plastic materials and do not use metal clasps. They may offer a lighter design, however adjustments such as adding teeth at a later stage may be limited.
Acrylic Dentures
Acrylic dentures use a rigid plastic base. These dentures allow for future additions if further tooth loss occurs. The design may be thicker to provide strength and durability.
Metal-Based Dentures
Metal-based dentures combine a metal framework with acrylic components. The metal structure allows for a thinner design, which some patients find more comfortable. Modifications may be more limited depending on the design.
We discuss suitable denture options during your consultation based on your clinical assessment.
Full and Partial Dentures
Full dentures replace all teeth in an upper or lower arch. These may be considered where no natural teeth remain or where remaining teeth are not suitable for retention.
Partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth while using existing natural teeth for support. These are often recommended where healthy teeth remain.
Implant-Supported Dentures
In some cases, we may discuss implant-supported dentures as part of your treatment options. Dental implants can provide additional support for dentures and may assist with stability during function. Suitability depends on your oral health and bone structure, and we assess this during your consultation.
