Dentures

Types of dentures available at Pearl Dental Clinic

Same-day dentures

Also known as immediate dentures, same-day dentures are fitted directly after tooth extraction to ensure you are never without teeth. They can be made and fitted on the same day, with no need to wait for your mouth to heal. Same-day dentures can also be made within 24 hours for patients who have lost or broken their current dentures.

Acrylic dentures

Acrylic dentures are a budget-friendly option that can be made and fitted quickly, often even on the same day. They are typically cheaper than metal or flexible dentures and can be used as a temporary measure to immediately replace missing teeth. Partial acrylic dentures can easily be added to if you lose more teeth in the future, so you can retain your comfortably fitting denture.

Flexible dentures

Flexible dentures are seen as a smaller and more comfortable alternative to the acrylic denture. Advanced technology and techniques ensure they fit comfortably and flexibly around the shape of your existing teeth and gums, and they don’t need to cover the roof of your mouth. Flexible dentures are highly aesthetic, using tooth-coloured clasps and transparent material that blends into your natural gum colour. They are also very resilient and far less likely to break than acrylic.

Metal dentures

Metal dentures are durable and strong. They can be more expensive than the plastic alternatives, but often last longer and do not break easily. They are custom-made from a hypoallergenic metal alloy material which does not fully cover the roof of your mouth, making them more comfortable and enhancing your ability to taste.

Cosmetic dentures

Sunflex cosmetic partial dentures can help you look and feel more confident. They are metal-free, lightweight, and can be more comfortable than other denture options. Cosmetic dentures offer great flexibility and stability, and don’t break easily. They can also be used as a great temporary option if required.

Copy dentures

If you are happy with the overall design, shape and size of your current dentures, but they no longer fit perfectly or have become stained or discoloured, we can make a copy to ensure a secure and comfortable fit. We can even improve on the aesthetics by using the latest available materials to create your denture teeth. Your new dentures are less likely to need adjustments and you do not have to take time to get used to the feel of a new denture design.

Overdentures

Overdentures are dentures that are supported by and attached to dental implants in order to increase their strength and durability. The dental implants are strategically placed in your jaw for maximum support and effectiveness. Overdentures are great for people who need more stability for their dentures, and wish to have the benefits of implants without the need for bone grafting or gum grafting surgeries.

The worry of being without teeth for a period of time can really affect your confidence. At Pearl Dental Clinic, our on-site dental technician can provide broken denture repairs within 24 hours, giving you some peace of mind.
