Also known as full dentures, complete dentures are worn by people with no teeth on the top, bottom or both arches of their mouth. Entirely removable, complete dentures replicate teeth and the surrounding gum tissue, helping you enjoy a natural-looking smile. At Highlands Denture Clinic, we offer full dentures in the Southern Highlands.
Our team design, fit and repair complete dentures. By using injection moulded dentures, we help create a seamless, comfortable fit, which leads to less chance of distortion. We are also accredited for implant-retained dentures.

Full dentures may provide a range of potential benefits for those who have lost all of their natural teeth. They can assist with restoring the ability to chew a variety of foods, which may improve overall nutrition and digestion.
Dentures can also enhance speech by filling gaps, allowing for clearer pronunciation. Aesthetically, full dentures can contribute to a fuller facial appearance, which may help reduce the sunken look that sometimes accompanies tooth loss. They can also offer increased confidence in social situations by giving individuals a more complete and natural-looking smile.
Dentures are removable, which makes them easier to clean and maintain, offering a practical solution for many people with missing teeth. However, permanent solutions are also available.
Several factors can influence how long full dentures last, including daily wear, the care they receive, and changes in the mouth. Dentures usually last between five and ten years before needing replacement. Regular check-ups can ensure they continue to fit well and remain comfortable, preventing the need for premature replacement.
Full dentures should be cleaned daily by gently brushing them with a soft-bristle brush and a non-abrasive denture cleanser. It’s important to remove food particles and plaque to maintain hygiene and prevent odours. Dentures should also be soaked in a denture cleaning solution when not being worn to help maintain their shape and keep them fresh.
While it's possible to sleep with full dentures in, many prosthetists recommend removing them at night. This allows your gums and mouth tissues to rest and promotes better oral health. Taking them out also gives you an opportunity to clean and soak the dentures, which helps keep them in good condition.
