Dentures Melbourne
Whether you are facing issues due to gum disease, tooth decay or injury a denture may provide a successful option that will benefit your appearance, health and function. When a set of teeth are missing, the remaining teeth generally shift into the remaining space and become crooked. It is harder to clean crooked teeth, which can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. Your ability to chew properly and speak is restored. Dentures will fill out the look of your face and prevent facial muscles from sagging, which can make you look older.
We can make you a denture or partial that will closely resemble your natural teeth and gums, to minimise a change in your appearance
Type oF Dentures
-
Conventional
The full removable denture is made and placed in your mouth after any remaining teeth have been removed and the tissues have healed. This can take several months.
-
Immediate
You will receive the removable denture on the same day, when your remaining teeth will be removed, so you don’t have to be without teeth during the healing period. We will take the measurements and make models of your jaw at a preliminary visit. You may be required to have the denture relined after you have finished the healing process to ensure a proper fit.
-
Partial
A partial is a removable appliance made for patients who are missing some, but not all teeth. We will design the partial denture to match your teeth and gums, and it will attach to your natural teeth with metal or plastic clasps. Your partial denture will keep your teeth from shifting, while filling in gaps that can make eating difficult to complete your smile.
-
Over Denture
This option provides added stability for your denture. Over time, retention on a traditional denture worsens due to bone loss and deterioration. As they rely on suction alone, they can require messy denture creams or adhesives. A root or implant supported overdenture is held in place by attachments added to the root of a remaining tooth, or to an implant. An overdenture helps preserve the health of your jaw bone and will control facial contour changes that can be caused by having no remaining teeth.

Dentures FAQs
The price of dentures generally depends on the material utilised and the number of teeth that are being replaced. Dentures vary in price between $1700 and $3000.
There are no “best” dentures as such. A denture needs to be custom made. Many factors are taken into account which will influence the final design. Factors include;
- the number of teeth,
- strength required,
- sensitivity to materials,
- long term goals,
- comfort of fit.
Bad teeth are never a preferred option. Bad teeth lead to issues with comfort, health and self-confidence. Good quality dentures can be customised as per the patient’s requirements.

Every time I arrive to my appointment I’m welcomed with such gentle voiced sweet staff on the front desk, which I haven’t always been greated with such warm arms from other clinics ! I have seen each dentist and they all have such gentle hands and make myself feel so comfortable and welcomed as I am a very anxious patient but always get talked through procedures. Such a beautiful clean clinic , with such a family feel! Wouldn’t recommend anyone more than Mitcham Dental Clinic . Love love love going to the dentist

I very rarely leave reviews, but this is warranted. I’m a very nervous patient when it comes to sitting in a dental chair, however from the moment I walked in to make an appointment and explained my situation I was made to feel relaxed. Dr Jia Leong made the experience actually quite enjoyable. She is very thorough, patient and professional. This is a very modern, fully equipped dental surgery you should not look past. And again, if you are nervous, Dr Leong and Mitcham dental clinic is the clinic for you.

Have to update my post - seriously, Dr Ron and the team are just absolutely amazing. This is coming from someone that's just walked out of a root canal - with zero discomfort, zero pain. Seeing Dr Ron has taught me one thing - going to the dentist doesn't have to be a painful and terrifying experience - it's all about patient comfort (and obviously tooth care). Just brilliant! Original post: Amazing all around service. Dr Ron and his staff are wonder workers - they're all about putting patients at ease - talking through procedures, getting the time to know you as a patient (I'm one of those people that don't really love visiting the dentist) - but they all are there to help you through the process - it's actually awesome - turning my experiences there into a pain and stress free procedure. Also, while I was waiting (and they did it for me too), I saw the reception staff with the patients leaving - they actually sat down and worked out the best possible way to pay - i.e. how to minimise the customers cost. If I could give them 10 stars, I would!

Had general check up and scale clean with Jia’s team. Thought I was gonna stress for whole treatment, because I had bad experiences with all those treatments. WAS NOT AT ALL!!! The best experience in my life.Totally beyond my expectation. 100% recommended.

Have been going to Ron and his colleagues at Mitcham Dental for 20 years - even now that I live on the other side of town. Excellent caring dental care. Highly recommend this dental practice.

I needed a dentist desperately in a hurry a few weeks ago. The staff at the Mitcham Dental Clinic kindly looked after me and took care of me. I recommend with confidence the service and all the staff at this clinic and found them to be 100% for personalised satisfaction
Maria Di Fiore
Friendly, supportive and comforting dental practice. As someone who has some anxiety surrounding dental work, Dr Ron and the rest of the team made me feel comfortable, supported and reassured as soon as I walked through the door! Highly recommend!
