Sculpting Smiles With Precision Dentures
Are missing teeth diminishing the sparkle in your smile and impacting your ability to enjoy meals or speak with clarity? Every tooth in our oral cavity plays a unique role, and when one goes missing, it can result in dental issues and dent your confidence.
Fortunately, modern dentistry has provided us with dentures or false teeth to replace the missing ones and complete our smiles. Dentures are customised artificial teeth that closely resemble natural teeth in shape, size, and colour. They are designed to fit snugly over the gumline.
But that’s not the only benefit of dentures. These artificial fixtures strengthen the facial muscles and keep you looking youthful and vibrant. They also restore your chewing ability and aid the digestion of food.
Woden Dental Centre, a trusted dental clinic in Canberra, provides well-fitting dentures crafted with cutting-edge dental technology in Canberra to restore the full functionality of your teeth and enhance your oral health.

Our Approach to Denture Treatment
At Woden Dental Centre, our denture implant treatment is completely personalised from the initial consultation to the ultimate fitting. Our dedicated team endeavours to ensure that your experience is seamless and enjoyable. Our protocol involves:
Initial Assessment
Complete an examination to assess the strength of your teeth and choose the possible treatment options. Our dentists may extract teeth, assess denture requirements, and prescribe the most appropriate one.
Full & Partial Dentures
Full dentures replace either the upper or lower teeth (or both), with the remaining teeth removed. Partial dentures are used to replace one or more missing teeth by connecting them to the neighbouring teeth using metal clasps or precision attachments.
Customised Dentures
Impressions of your teeth and mouth to customise the dentures to fit your face. Immediate dentures can be created and fitted on the day of teeth extractions, while conventional dentures typically take 2 to 3 weeks to produce. Once inserted, our dentist will ensure that they fit comfortably and make any necessary adjustments.

Maintenance & Care Tips For Denture Implants
Denture implants give you newfound freedom to smile, laugh, enjoy the foods you want, chew comfortably, and love your natural appearance. To continue gaining maximum benefits from your partial or permanent dentures, you should:
- Rinse your dentures thoroughly after meals.
- Remove them at night before going to bed.
- Brush them to remove food particles and plaque deposits.
- Soak them in a denture care solution or plain water when not in use.
- Seek professional help if your dentures are damaged.
- Avoid cleaning it with steel wool, hot water, or whitening toothpaste.
- Get your dentures checked regularly, even if they fit you perfectly.
You may require a few days to get used to wearing dentures. However, they will not interfere with your speaking ability or eating habits. It is also important to note that your dentures may break if dropped. Although the material is hard, dentures are not entirely impervious to damage. You may have to consult your dentist about replacing them after a certain period.
Knowing More About Partial & Permanent Dentures
What are the common dental issues that dentures can address?
Dentures may be the best restoration solution for issues such as:
- Loss of teeth due to gum disease, decay, or accidental injuries. Dentures can fill in the gaps caused by missing teeth, restore oral functionality, and give a more presentable smile.
- Speech difficulties due to gaps in the teeth. Dentures are vital in improving your speech clarity and pronunciation.
- Difficulty in food chewing and digestion. Dentures make it easier to enjoy the food the way you should.
- Facial sagging due to gaps in the teeth. This loss of strength in the facial muscles results in a sunken appearance. Denture implants strengthen these muscles and restore your youthful look.
How should I store and take care of my dentures?
The most important aspect is to prevent your dentures from drying out. To keep your dentures moist and enhance their durability, you should:
- Soak them only in denture cleansing solution or plain water when not used.
- Avoid soaking your dentures in scalding water, as it can cause warping.
- Use only cool or lukewarm water to maintain their shape and durability.
- Store traditional dentures in a clean and covered container to prevent contamination.
Remember that your dentures are customised only for your usage. Although they are made from durable materials, they can break if accidentally dropped. Therefore, make sure to handle your dentures over a soft surface or a sink filled with water when inserting or removing them.
How often should I consult my dentist regarding dentures?
We highly recommend consulting your dentist once in six months to examine or adjust your dentures.
