Services
Full Dentures
Full dentures replace all natural teeth in the upper or lower jaw, custom-made for a natural appearance and optimal comfort. Our prosthetists ensure precise fit and functionality, using high-quality materials to restore confidence in your smile and improve chewing efficiency.
Sports Mouthguards
Custom-fitted sports mouthguards protect teeth during competitive activities, offering superior comfort and breathability compared to generic options. They reduce concussion risks while ensuring a secure fit tailored to individual dental structures for maximum protection.
Implant Over Dentures
Implant-retained over dentures use surgically placed implants for enhanced stability, covering less mouth tissue than conventional dentures. This solution improves retention and function, requiring specific eligibility criteria for long-term oral health benefits.
Denture Repairs
We repair broken dentures, teeth, or clasps promptly, often requiring impressions for accurate restoration. Our service ensures damaged prosthetics are refitted professionally, maintaining comfort and functionality while extending their lifespan with expert attention.
Home Visits
For residents in retirement villages or nursing homes, we provide services for denture fittings and consultations. This ensures accessibility for those with mobility challenges, delivering the same quality care directly at your location with personalized attention.

Questions
What is a Dental Prosthetist?
A Dental Prosthetist creates full, partial, and implant over dentures, repairs, and custom mouthguards directly for the public without requiring referrals.
Do I need a referral to see a Dental Prosthetist?
No referral is required. Dental Prosthetists are qualified to treat patients directly, providing immediate access to denture solutions and prosthetic services.
What is an implant denture?
An implant-retained over denture uses implants for stability, covering less mouth tissue than conventional dentures. It reduces movement and improves function for long-term oral health.
Should I remove my denture at night?
There's no scientific consensus. We recommend choosing based on comfort—some prefer removal, while others find it easier to sleep with dentures.
How often should I change my dentures?
Dentures typically last 5-8 years depending on wear and fit. Individual needs vary, so regular check-ups ensure optimal functionality and comfort over time.
How long does a custom mouthguard last?
Younger patients may need annual replacements due to mouth changes. Adults can expect several seasons of use before requiring a new custom-fitted mouthguard.
