Types of Denture Services We Provide
We provide a range of denture services. Each option is explained clearly, with information about processes and what patients can expect during treatment.
Chrome Dentures
Chrome dentures use a slim, lightweight metal framework that provides strength and stability. They are thinner than acrylic designs and are constructed to replace missing teeth. Suitability and design depend on each person’s oral condition, which is assessed during consultation before treatment begins.
Learn More
Denture Relines
As gums and bone change over time, dentures may not fit as originally intended. A reline involves adding new material to the fitting surface, adjusting it against the mouth. This process can assist with continued use, though further adjustments may still be required.
Learn More
Flexible Dentures
Flexible dentures are made from softer materials that can be shaped to the mouth during fabrication. They do not require metal clasps for retention. These dentures are designed as a removable option, with suitability and design determined during an assessment of oral conditions and needs.
Learn More
Full Dentures
Full dentures may be considered when all teeth in the upper or lower jaw are missing. They are created from impressions taken of the mouth and are fabricated as removable appliances, replacing missing teeth across an entire arch following professional assessment.
Learn More
Immediate Dentures
Immediate dentures may be provided on the same day as tooth removal. They act as a temporary replacement during the healing period. As gums and bone naturally change shape after extractions, follow-up adjustments are often required, and in many cases, a replacement denture will be needed.
Learn More
Mouthguard
Custom-fitted mouthguards may be recommended for contact sports. Made from dental impressions, mouthguards are designed as removable appliances. Protect your smile and show your style with great colour and design selections available.
Learn More
Partial Dentures
When some natural teeth remain, a partial denture may be recommended. These are created from mouth impressions and attached with clasps or other fittings. They provide a removable way to replace missing teeth, with suitability determined during assessment.
Learn More
Denture Repairs
Denture repairs may be required if a denture becomes cracked, chipped, or broken. The process involves assessing the damage and determining the most suitable repair method. Timeframes can vary depending on the extent of the damage and the work required for restoration.
Learn More
Ivocap Dentures
Ivocap dentures are produced using an injection moulding process designed to control material processing. This system assists in creating dentures according to impressions taken of the mouth. Suitability, materials, and design are considered during consultation to determine whether this method is appropriate for each patient’s needs.

The approach focuses on providing practical, evidence-based care to support daily use. Patients are given clear explanations and step-by-step guidance throughout their denture treatment journey.
Understanding How Our Denture Process Works for You
At our denture clinic in Mandurah, the denture process follows several steps. Each stage is explained clearly to help patients understand what will happen during treatment.
Initial Impressions
Preliminary impressions are taken using dental materials to capture the general shape of the mouth. These models provide the starting point for fabricating dentures designed to replace missing teeth.
Final Impressions
Secondary impressions are then recorded to obtain finer details of the oral tissues. This additional stage helps refine the working model used for constructing dentures that match oral structures.
Bite Records
Bite records measure how the upper and lower jaws meet. These records are used in the denture design process to show how the jaws meet and to guide positioning during fabrication
Denture Try-In
A wax model of the denture is placed in the mouth for assessment. This stage allows review and modification before the denture is finalised for completion.
Final Fit
The completed denture is inserted and reviewed in the mouth. Adjustments may be performed at this appointment to make any required adjustments before the patient begins wearing it daily.

Our clinic participates in community activities within Mandurah. This involvement includes supporting local sporting clubs and events as part of our connection with the local area.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dentures
These questions provide information about dentures, the treatment process, and what patients may expect when visiting our denture clinic in Mandurah for assessment and care.
What are dentures, and how do they work?
Dentures are removable dental appliances made to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissue. They are created following impressions of the mouth and may be supported by suction or clasps when natural teeth remain. The process usually begins with a consultation and oral examination.
Impressions and measurements are taken to produce a model, which is then used to make a trial denture. This trial stage allows for assessment and modification before the final denture is constructed using materials such as acrylic or chrome frameworks.
Dentures function by providing a replacement for missing teeth and may require adjustments or relines over time as oral tissues change naturally.
What are the different types of dentures?
There are different types of dentures, and suitability depends on oral condition and treatment requirements. A denture clinic in Mandurah can explain which options may be appropriate after assessment.
- Full Dentures –
Full dentures are made when all teeth in the upper or lower jaw are missing. They are constructed using impressions of the mouth to replace missing teeth across an entire arch. - Partial Dentures –
Partial dentures are considered when some natural teeth remain. They are made from impressions and attach to existing teeth with clasps or other fittings, replacing the missing teeth. - Immediate Dentures –
Immediate dentures may be fitted at the same appointment as extractions. They act as a temporary replacement during healing and usually need adjustment or replacement once tissues change. - Chrome Dentures –
Chrome dentures use a slim metal framework. They are thinner than acrylic designs and are constructed to provide strength while supporting replacement teeth. - Flexible Dentures –
Flexible dentures are made from softer materials. They are designed as a removable alternative that does not require metal clasps for retention.
The most suitable type of denture is determined after assessment at a denture clinic, since oral health and individual needs differ.
Are dentures suitable for everyone with missing teeth?
Not everyone with missing teeth is automatically suited to conventional dentures. Suitability depends on several clinical factors assessed during consultation.
- Oral Health Condition:
Healthy gums and adequate bone support are generally required. Severe bone loss may limit the stability of dentures unless other clinical options are considered. - Number and Location of Missing Teeth:
Full dentures may be considered when all teeth in one arch are missing. Partial dentures may be used if some natural teeth remain healthy enough to support them. - Medical Considerations:
Conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes, severe dry mouth, or oral cancers may affect healing or denture tolerance. - Functional Expectations:
Dentures replace missing teeth but may not replicate the stability of fixed prosthetic options. - Adaptation:
An adjustment period is often needed, and some patients may experience difficulty adapting, especially to lower dentures.
Suitability for dentures can only be determined after an individual assessment by a dental professional, as oral health and needs vary.
What is the process of getting dentures?
Getting dentures usually involves several stages, each providing information that guides fabrication and adjustment. The process is explained to patients so they know what to expect.
- Initial Consultation and Assessment –
The first stage includes reviewing oral health, bite, and any remaining teeth. This helps the practitioner determine whether dentures may be an appropriate treatment option. - Mouth Impressions and Measurements –
If dentures are considered suitable, impressions are taken along with bite records and other measurements. These details are used to create a working model of the mouth. - Try-In Appointment –
A wax version of the denture is placed in the mouth for review. This step allows the practitioner to evaluate the fit and make modifications before the denture is finalised. - Final Denture Fitting –
The finished denture is inserted and assessed in the mouth. Adjustments may be carried out at this stage depending on the clinical review. - Review and Adjustment Appointments –
Follow-up appointments are scheduled after fitting. These visits allow the practitioner to check how the denture is functioning and make changes if required.
The number of appointments and specific steps can vary, as denture treatment is planned individually for each patient’s oral condition.
How much do dentures cost?
The cost of dentures depends on the type of denture and the treatment required. Prices vary, as each patient’s needs are different.
As a guide, a single denture (upper or lower) may range from $1,600 to $3,800, while a full set of upper and lower dentures may range from $2,800 to $4,700.
Several factors can influence the final cost, including:
- Type of denture:
The cost differs between full dentures, partial dentures, immediate dentures, and other designs, as each requires different work and materials. - Materials:
Dentures may be made from acrylic or chrome frameworks, and the choice of material can affect the overall fee. - Number of appointments:
Some patients may require additional visits for impressions, try-ins, or adjustments, which can increase the total cost. - Pre-treatment procedures:
If additional procedures, such as tooth removal, are required, these may need to be completed at another clinic. These procedures will add to your overall treatment cost. - Design requirements:
The level of technical detail or customisation needed for the dentures can also influence the final cost.
These figures are provided as a guide only. A written quote will be given after consultation, once oral health and treatment requirements have been assessed.
How do I care for my dentures properly?
Proper denture care is important for supporting oral hygiene and helping dentures continue to function as intended. The following general steps may be recommended:
- Clean your dentures daily:
Remove them and brush them using a soft-bristle brush and denture cleaner or mild soap. Regular toothpaste is not advised, as it may be too abrasive. - Soak overnight:
Dentures are usually kept moist when not worn. They may be placed in clean water or a denture-soaking solution to help them maintain their shape. - Rinse after meals:
Dentures can be rinsed under running water after eating to remove food particles. This step assists in keeping the denture surface clean. - Clean your gums and mouth:
A soft toothbrush may be used to clean any natural teeth, while a soft cloth can be used to wipe the gums. This supports oral hygiene and may reduce irritation. - Handle with care:
Dentures should be held over a basin of water or a towel when cleaning to reduce the risk of damage if dropped. - Attend regular check-ups:
Ongoing reviews with a dental prosthetist allow denture fit and oral tissues to be assessed, and adjustments made if clinically required. - Avoid hot water and harsh chemicals:
Dentures should not be soaked in hot water or bleach, as these may change the material and affect the fit. Cleaners designed for dentures or plain water are suitable.
These are general care steps. A dental professional can provide advice specific to your denture type and individual oral health needs.
