dentures hero

If you are missing teeth and find it hard to chew, speak clearly, or smile with confidence, dentures Salisbury treatment at Parabanks Dental can help you feel more like yourself again. Dentures provide a simple, proven way to replace several missing teeth or a full arch, without surgery or long treatment times.

Our dentists will listen to what you want, examine your mouth, and explain which denture options suit your situation. You then decide at your own pace, with clear information about cost, timeframes, and what to expect.

What are dentures?

Dentures are removable replacement teeth that sit on your gums and restore the look and function of a natural smile. They can replace a few missing teeth or a full upper or lower set.

Missing teeth can lead to:

  • Difficulty chewing certain foods
  • Changes in speech and pronunciation
  • A “sunken” look to the lower face over time
  • Extra wear on remaining teeth
  • Less confidence in social situations

Well‑fitting dentures help support your cheeks and lips, improve chewing, and give a more complete smile. Many people find that everyday activities such as eating out or speaking in groups feel easier again.

Types of dentures we provide in Salisbury

At Parabanks Dental we provide several types of dentures so you can choose what matches your needs and budget.

Full dentures

Full dentures replace all the teeth in the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both. The denture base rests on the gums and is shaped to follow your mouth as closely as possible.

You might need full dentures if you have:

  • Many teeth with advanced decay or gum disease
  • Very worn or loose teeth
  • Previously had all teeth removed and need a new set

Partial dentures

Partial dentures replace several missing teeth while your remaining natural teeth stay in place. The denture clips around the remaining teeth and fills the gaps.

This option may suit you if:

  • You still have some healthy teeth that can support a denture
  • You want to avoid removing teeth that are stable and comfortable
  • You want to improve chewing without a full extraction plan

Immediate dentures

In some cases you may not want to be without teeth after extractions. An immediate denture can be made in advance and placed on the same day that teeth are removed.

As the gums heal and change, you usually need adjustments and possibly a reline or a new denture later. We explain this clearly before treatment begins so you know the full process.

Implant‑supported dentures

For extra stability, some patients choose dentures that sit on dental implants rather than resting only on the gums. Implants can reduce movement and make the denture feel more secure, especially in the lower jaw.

If you are interested in this option, we can discuss whether your bone and gums are suitable and outline the extra steps and costs involved.

The process of getting dentures

Your dentures salisbury journey usually follows a few clear steps.

  1. Initial consultation
    We examine your mouth, take X‑rays if needed, and talk about what you want from your denture. We then discuss whether full, partial, immediate, or implant‑supported dentures make the most sense.
  2. Impressions and measurements
    We take detailed impressions (moulds) of your gums and teeth and record how your jaws meet. This information goes to a local dental lab that makes your denture.
  3. Try‑in stage
    Before the final denture is finished, you often try a wax version. This lets us check the shape, bite, and appearance. You can see how the teeth look and request small adjustments.
  4. Final fit
    Once the denture is ready, we fit it in your mouth, check the bite, and smooth any pressure areas. You receive clear instructions on how to insert, remove, and care for it.
  5. Review and adjustments
    It is normal to need small adjustments in the first few weeks as your mouth adapts. We schedule review visits to make sure your denture feels as comfortable and stable as possible.

Living with new dentures

New dentures can feel strange at first, but most people adapt over time with practice and support.

You can expect:

  • Mild rubbing or sore spots in the early days, which we can adjust
  • A short period where speech sounds different until your tongue adapts
  • The need to start with softer foods, then build up to a wider range of meals

We will show you how to:

  • Clean your denture and keep your gums healthy
  • Remove it safely at night
  • Store it in water or denture solution so it does not dry out
  • Use denture adhesive if it helps with security (if appropriate)

If anything feels painful or very loose, you should call us rather than trying to adjust the denture yourself.

Denture repairs and relines

Over time, your gums and bone can change shape. Even a well‑made denture may start to feel loose, cause rubbing, or trap food. You do not have to put up with this.

At Parabanks Dental, we can:

  • Repair cracked or chipped dentures in many cases
  • Replace broken teeth on your denture
  • Reline the inside surface so it fits your gums more closely

A reline can extend the life of a denture and improve comfort without needing a completely new appliance.

Dentures and Medibank / payment options

We accept a wide range of health funds and can process HICAPS claims on the spot. If you hold appropriate extras cover, your fund may pay part of the cost of dentures salisbury treatment. We will provide item numbers and quotes so you can check your benefits.

We can also discuss payment options, including DentiCare plans and Afterpay for eligible treatment, to help you spread costs where possible.

FAQs

With good care, dentures often last around 5–8 years before they need replacing. Your gums and bone can change over time, so you may need relines or adjustments sooner to keep them comfortable.

You may notice small changes at first, but most people adapt within a few weeks. Starting with softer foods and practising reading aloud can help your mouth adjust more quickly.

We usually recommend taking dentures out at night. This rests your gums, reduces the risk of sore spots, and makes it easier to clean both your denture and your mouth.

No. Other options include dental implants and bridges. At your consultation we can compare dentures with these alternatives so you understand the differences in cost, treatment time, and maintenance.
