Frequently asked questions

A dental prosthetist is a registered dental practitioner who specialises in designing, making, fitting and repairing dentures and mouthguards. You can see a dental prosthetist directly. No referral from a dentist is needed.

We make full (complete) dentures, acrylic and cast-metal partial dentures, and implant retained dentures. We also repair and reline existing dentures and make custom-fitted sports mouthguards. Everything is made on site in our Strathfield laboratory.

If your denture is loose but otherwise in good condition, a reline that refits the base to your gums may be all you need. If the teeth are badly worn, the base is cracked or the fit has changed significantly, a new denture is usually the better long-term option. We assess this at your free consultation.

It depends on the type of denture and your individual needs. Most new dentures involve several appointments over a few weeks for impressions, try-ins and the final fitting. We will give you a clear timeline at your consultation.

In most cases, yes. Because we have an on-site laboratory, repairs and relines are usually available for same-day pick-up. Please call us first so we can set aside laboratory time.

Clean your denture daily with a soft brush and a denture cleaner rather than toothpaste, rinse after meals, and keep it moist when not in your mouth. Avoid hot water, which can warp the denture, and never use household glue for repairs. Partial dentures should be removed at night to keep your mouth healthy.

We recommend a check-up at least every two years, or sooner if your denture feels loose or uncomfortable. Natural bone and tissue changes occur over time, and regular checks keep your denture fitting well and your mouth healthy.

Yes. We make custom-fitted mouthguards from an impression of your teeth for sport and for protection against grinding. They fit far more securely and comfortably than boil-and-bite guards.
