A complete set of teeth when a whole arch is gone

Complete dentures, often just called full dentures or a denture plate, replace every tooth in the upper jaw, the lower jaw or both. They suit people who have already lost all their teeth in an arch and people whose remaining teeth are too damaged or loose to keep. At Odontologie Dental Care in Lansvale we make both conventional dentures, fitted once your gums have healed, and immediate dentures, fitted on the day of your extractions so you never go without teeth.

How much do full dentures cost?

Full denture type	Cost
Basic full denture (per jaw)	$1,250 - $2,500
Full denture (per jaw)	From $3,000

A basic denture is the economical choice and works well for many people. Our full denture, from $3,000 per jaw, is built on more detailed records of your jaw and bite, with higher-grade teeth, which is why it costs more. Any extractions are priced separately. You receive an itemised written estimate before treatment, and health fund cover for dentures varies between policies.

Who they suit

Are complete dentures right for you?

Full dentures are worth considering if you have no teeth left in one jaw, if an old denture no longer fits, or if your dentist has explained that the teeth you have cannot be saved. They need no surgery beyond any extractions, they can be made within a few weeks, and they cost far less than replacing a whole arch with implants.

They are not for everyone. A lower full denture moves more than an upper because the tongue and the smaller ridge give it less to grip, and some people find that hard to accept. If you want a denture that stays firmly in place, two implants under a lower denture can make a big difference, and an implant-supported denture can often be added later to a denture you already have.

Immediate or conventional

Immediate dentures versus conventional dentures

An immediate denture is made from impressions taken while your teeth are still in place. On the day those teeth are removed, the denture goes straight in. It protects the healing gums, keeps your appearance and lets you speak normally from day one. The catch is that gums and bone shrink a lot in the first months, so an immediate denture needs relining, and some people choose a new conventional denture once healing is complete.

A conventional denture is made after the gums have settled, usually two to three months after extractions. Because the ridges have already changed shape, the fit tends to be more stable from the start. We will explain which approach suits you, and our post on getting several teeth pulled at once covers what the extraction day is like.

Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.

The first weeks

Getting used to new full dentures

New dentures feel bulky at first, and your mouth may produce more saliva for a few days. Begin with soft food cut small, chew on both sides at the same time to keep the plates level, and avoid biting into food with your front teeth until you are confident. Reading aloud for a few minutes a day helps words come out clearly sooner.

Small sore spots are common in the first fortnight. Book a quick adjustment rather than leaving the denture out, because a tiny change usually fixes it. Take your dentures out at night so your gums can rest, clean them daily, and see us once a year so we can check the fit and look over your gums and the soft tissues of your mouth.

How it works

How your full dentures are made

A conventional full denture usually takes four or five short appointments over a few weeks. Immediate dentures follow the same idea, with the fit on the day of your extractions.

Examination and planning

We check your gums, the shape of your ridges and any remaining teeth, take X-rays if needed and talk through immediate or conventional dentures. You get a written plan and estimate.

Impressions and bite records

Accurate impressions capture the shape of your gums, then wax rims record how your jaws meet and where your lips sit. These records guide the size and position of every tooth.

Try-in with wax

The teeth are set in wax so you can see and feel the denture before it is finished. You can ask for changes to the shade, shape or line of the teeth at this stage.

Fitting and follow-up

The finished dentures are fitted, checked for comfort and bite, and you are shown how to clean them. A review a few days later lets us ease any pressure spots.

Good to know

Full Dentures - frequently asked

How much do full dentures cost?

A basic full denture at Odontologie is $1,250 - $2,500 per jaw, and a full denture starts from $3,000 per jaw. Extractions, if needed, are added to your written estimate.

How long does it take to get full dentures?

A conventional full denture usually takes around four to six weeks from impressions to fitting. If teeth need to come out first, you may wear an immediate denture while the gums heal, which can take a few months.

Will full dentures look natural?

We select tooth shapes and shades to suit your face and age, and the wax try-in lets you see the result before it is finished. Many people are surprised how natural a well-made denture looks.

How do I get used to new dentures?

Start with soft food, chew on both sides together and practise speaking aloud. Most people feel settled within a few weeks. If anything rubs, come back for an adjustment rather than leaving the denture out.

What is a denture plate?

It is an everyday name for a denture, usually meaning a full denture or a partial with a pink acrylic base. The plate is the gum-coloured part that holds the replacement teeth.

Can full dentures be held in with implants?

Yes. Two or more implants can be placed in the jaw and the denture fitted with clips that snap onto them. This greatly reduces movement, especially for a lower denture.
