Denture Reline
At Footscray Denture Clinic, we offer expert denture relines to extend the life of your dentures and ensure maximum comfort and appearance. Over time, gums shrink, making dentures feel loose and unstable, which can affect eating and speech. Our denture reline service updates your dentures for a better fit and comfort. Denture relines can be done overnight. Make a morning booking, leave your dentures with us overnight, and pick them up the next morning. This service is available for both full and partial dentures. Visit Footscray Denture Clinic for professional denture relines and enjoy a secure, comfortable fit.

Whether you’re looking for a removable option or a fixed bridge, we offer personalized solutions to suit your needs. Our goal is to provide you with a comfortable, natural-looking fit that maintains your oral alignment and functionality.

04
Immediate Dentures
An immediate denture is a complete or partial denture fitted immediately after teeth are extracted. Serving as a temporary solution, it prevents the discomfort of having visible gaps during the healing period. Before extraction, dental professionals take impressions to determine the desired shade, size, and shape of the teeth and a bite registration to set the appropriate vertical dimension. This preparation allows for a customized denture that fits comfortably and allows for normal eating and speaking during the healing phase. Footscray residents can rely on these solutions to maintain their daily routines seamlessly.
05
Full Dentures
At Footscray Denture Clinic, we understand that losing all or most of your teeth can be a life-altering experience. Full dentures offer a viable tooth replacement option, designed to fit a dentureless mouth and assist with routine lifestyle activities, including chewing, eating, and talking. Normally, the loss of teeth can impair speech, and full dentures, or false teeth, can help correct this issue. Each full denture consists of two main components: a gum base that rests on the existing natural gum and prosthetic teeth that replace missing teeth. For individuals with a complete arch of missing teeth, full dentures are often the most practical choice. Although artificial, these dentures can replicate natural teeth in aesthetics and functionality, allowing individuals to enjoy food and support facial structure to avoid a sunken appearance.
06
Flexible Dentures
Flexible dentures offer a valuable option for individuals who cannot or choose not to use traditional dentures. One of the most significant advantages is their durability; they are less likely to break if dropped. Unlike standard dentures, flexible dentures adhere snugly to the gums without the need for adhesive or metal. The clear material allows natural shades to appear authentic, and the creation time is shorter compared to traditional dentures, making them a convenient choice. Comfort is paramount, with many individuals finding chewing easier than with standard dentures. Some people are sensitive to acrylic or nickel in traditional dentures, and flexible dentures provide a solution without these potential irritants. While they are more resilient, users should still clean them daily and handle them carefully to maintain freshness and prevent gingivitis.
07
Chrome Partial Dentures
Chrome Dentures are produced using cast metal and are considered the most durable option for a permanent partial denture. Unlike plastic partial dentures that rest on the remaining teeth, chrome cobalt partial dentures lay directly on the teeth. The clasps ensure the denture remains secure and prevent damage to the mouth’s delicate tissues from shifting, rubbing, or gum irritation. These dentures distribute the pressure of your bite and chewing forces more evenly across your gums and remaining teeth, making them significantly better than plastic partial dentures. Additionally, chrome dentures can offer a more open palate, allowing better taste and temperature detection, reducing the risk of burning the mouth. Contact Footscray Denture Clinic to find the right denture for you.

Implant Retained Dentures
Implant Retained Dentures offer a modern alternative to traditional Partial Dentures, blending conventional denture technology with the advancements of dental implants. The benefits of these dentures include enhanced self-confidence, security during eating, and greater bone conservation. Additionally, they reduce gum tissue shrinkage and food infiltration under the denture, while offering superior aesthetics and the ability to engage confidently in social interactions. Implant Retained Dentures also provide a sensation close to natural teeth and promote dietary benefits.
To secure these dentures, two implants are placed in the front part of the lower jaw. An overdenture can then rest in place, providing stability and comfort. Implant overdentures are ideal for individuals without teeth in the jaw but with enough jaw bone to support implants. These dentures feature special attachments that snap onto corresponding implant attachments, ensuring a secure fit. For those who prefer a fixed implant over-denture, consulting a Dental Prosthetist’s recommendations will ensure a customized and suitable choice based on individual needs and preferences.
