Frequently Asked Questions
How much do dentures cost?
The cost for new dentures vary depending on various factors such as remaining oral anatomy, materials and components used, complexity of the work involved, time required for completion and possible future adjustments/modifications. At Kingaroy Denture Clinic, our fees for a new single denture can range from $800 to $2000. A no obligations quote can be obtained at your free consultation.
What is the best way to clean my dentures daily?
Gentle brushing with a non-abrasive cleanser (e.g. denture paste, liquid detergents) and a soft-bristled brush is recommended. Rinse your dentures with warm water after meals to remove food that may stick to dentures to maintain hygiene and longevity.
How many appointments are needed for a new denture?
The process typically involves 4 to 5 stages, including initial consultation, precise impressions, bite registration, try-in sessions, and the final clinical fitting for guaranteed comfort. The full process is completed within a 2 -3 week period.
Should I wear my dentures while I sleep?
It is medically advised to remove your dentures at night. This allows your gum tissues to rest and reduces the risk of inflammation or infection, promoting better long-term oral health.
When should I seek professional repair services?
Contact us immediately if you notice any cracks, loose teeth, or discomfort. DIY repairs can lead to permanent damage and poor occlusion; professional care ensures integrity and safety.
Who is a Dental Prosthetist?
A dental prosthetist is an AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency) registered independent dental practitioner who consults directly with patients to design, construct, fit, and repair removable dentures and sports mouthguards. As qualified dental technicians with advanced training, they provide personalized care for denture fabrication, relining, and repairs, often operating independently without requiring a dentist's referral.
A dental prosthetist has undergone significant education and training in clinical and technical aspects of denture fabrication, and that is all that they do to high standards of quality. Unlike most dentists, many dental prosthetists fabricate their clients' prostheses themselves ensuring their expectations are followed through from consultation to delivery.
