Dentures & Partial Dentures

At Katoomba Dental Centre, we understand how tooth loss can impact many areas of your life. We know that chewing can be difficult or impossible. Your dentist understands that speech can be altered, and smiling may be particularly challenging. Fortunately, we offer various tooth replacement options to restore your smile and quality of life, including dentures and partial dentures in Katoomba.

Dentures are a long-standing and practical solution to tooth loss. The materials, methods and final prosthetics are nothing like dentures from decades past—bulky, unnatural-looking, and not complementary to your bone structure.

Today’s modern dentures in the Blue Mountains allow for a natural-looking smile that fits and functions predictably, restoring your bite, diversifying your dietary choices and enhancing your smile aesthetics.

Dentures and Partial Dentures: Costs at a Glance

Typically, dentures and partials are one of the least expensive tooth replacement options. 

At Katoomba Dental Centre, partial dentures run about $2000, and full dentures average about $2500. These costs are per arch. 

* Remember, all denture cases and circumstances vary, so your final costs may differ from the estimates. Your dentist will let you know what to expect.

We provide complete, partial, and implant-supported dentures in our dental clinic. Sometimes, patients opt for an implant-supported lower denture and removable upper—or any combination of options. Your dentist can help you decide on the best solution(s) for your smile goals and comfort.

Complete Dentures

Complete dentures are used when all teeth are missing or following total tooth extraction. Complete dentures are prosthetic teeth on a plate or arch that rely on gravity, suction, and the contours of your jaw for support.

Partial Dentures

Partial Dentures work for partial tooth loss, provided your remaining teeth are healthy and can support this prosthetic. They rely on gravity, the contours of your jaw, and healthy adjacent teeth and often use clips for stabilisation.

Implant-Supported Dentures

If you’re looking for a long-term, stable solution that does not require relines or the eventual need for adhesives, we can help.

Some patients want more stability than can be obtained by a traditional denture—for these patients, implant-supported dentures or other implant-supported prosthetics may be a good solution. Two or more dental implants are used to secure dentures and prevent slipping and shifting while you speak and eat.

Our Denture Types

Today’s modern dentures and methods mean you have more choices than ever before. Not only can you choose tooth and gum colour, but you can also select the prosthetic type that best meets your needs based on your lifestyle.

Acrylic Dentures

Acrylic dentures are made of mouldable plastic. This material is adaptable and can acclimate to a degree to oral health changes, including early gum shrinkage—a natural occurrence when teeth are lost. We often use this material for complete and partial dentures. 

Chrome Dentures

Our chrome dentures are just as natural-looking as our acrylic prosthetics, but we design a metal framework to help better hold the restoring teeth in place. The lightweight metal is not visible, and some patients find this denture type more lightweight despite its durability.

Valplast® Dentures

Valplast dentures are made of thermoplastic nylon resin, a strong and long-lasting material. Because it is so durable, your dentist can construct a thinner and more flexible denture, which typically makes chewing more comfortable. This denture type is known for its ease of wear and flexibility. Many patients with previous experience with conventional acrylic dentures say that Valplast dentures are, by comparison, like having natural teeth again.

Your Katoomba dentist starts with a consultation, which usually includes x-rays if no recent or relevant films are on file. If dentures are right for you, we take careful impressions, and a trusted lab uses our results to create your custom denture or partial.

If you need extractions or complex pre-treatments, we always use a gentle hand and offer three levels of dental sedation. At Katoomba Dental Centre, we believe that your journey to a new smile should be anxiety-free and comfortable. We’ll take care of the rest!

How Much Do Dentures Cost?

At Katoomba Dental Centre, dentures start from $2000. Our modern dentures are designed to look natural, fit comfortably, and restore both function and aesthetics. Pricing may vary based on the type of denture and your individual needs. We recommend booking a consultation to discuss the best tooth replacement option tailored for you.
