Restore your confidence with natural-looking, custom dentures
Treatment overview
Dentures are a trusted solution for replacing multiple missing teeth, restoring function and appearance while supporting overall oral health. At Dental Holistix, we provide high-quality dentures designed for comfort, durability and a natural look. Whether you need full dentures, partial dentures, or implant-supported options, our team will work with you to find the best fit for your lifestyle and oral health goals.
Types of dentures we offer
Dentures come in various types to suit different needs, from replacing a few teeth to a complete set. Here’s a quick guide to the main types:
Complete (full) dentures Designed for individuals who have lost all their teeth, complete dentures replace the entire set on either the upper or lower jaw. These dentures are custom-fitted to sit comfortably on the gums and are typically fitted 8–12 weeks after the last tooth extraction, allowing time for healing.
Partial dentures Ideal for patients who still have some healthy teeth, partial dentures fill the gaps left by missing teeth. These dentures consist of a pink plastic base and a metal framework that attaches to natural teeth, keeping them in place and preventing shifting. They’re removable and easy to maintain.
Custom-made dentures Crafted from high-quality materials like ceramic or porcelain, custom dentures offer a more natural appearance. They’re specially tailored to suit the individual’s mouth and aesthetic preferences.
Immediate dentures These dentures are placed immediately after teeth removal, allowing patients to avoid going without teeth during the healing period. Measurements and fittings are taken before the extractions, so they’re ready to wear on the same day.
Implant-supported dentures These dentures are secured by dental implants, offering greater stability and a longer-lasting solution. Implants act as an anchor, providing a secure fit and enhanced comfort.
Snap-in dentures Known for their stability, snap-in dentures are attached to dental implants or existing teeth using locator attachments. This type is easily removable but secure, ideal for patients with enough bone structure to support implants.
Overdentures Overdentures are removable dentures that sit on the gums and are usually supported by a few remaining natural teeth or dental implants. They provide added stability compared to traditional dentures but are generally less secure than snap-in options. Overdentures offer the advantage of being easy to remove, allowing for simple daily cleaning and better gum health.
Upper Dentures These dentures are designed specifically for the upper jaw, replacing the top set of teeth for a full and natural-looking smile.
How dentures work
Dentures are custom-made replacements designed to fit comfortably and restore the look and function of natural teeth. After a consultation to discuss your needs, we’ll take impressions or digital scans to create a model of your mouth. This allows us to craft a precise, comfortable fit for your denture.
Once your dentures are ready, we’ll fit them and make any adjustments to ensure they feel secure. For implant-supported dentures, additional appointments will be scheduled for implant placement before attaching the dentures. Please refer to our dental implants treatment page for more information.

Treatment timeline
Getting dentures typically takes a few appointments:
Consultation and impressions: At your first visit, we’ll discuss your options and take impressions or digital scans of your mouth to create a model for your custom dentures.
Fitting and adjustments: Once your dentures are crafted, we’ll fit them and make any necessary adjustments for comfort. For implant-supported dentures, implant placement will be done first, with fittings scheduled once healing is complete.
Follow-up: We may schedule a follow-up to ensure the fit is secure and comfortable, and to answer any questions you may have about wearing and caring for your dentures.
Cost and payment options
The cost of dentures varies depending on the type and complexity of your treatment, starting at $1,500. For a personalised quote and information about our flexible payment options, please contact us directly.

FAQs
How long do dentures last?
With proper care, dentures can last 5–10 years. Regular check-ups and adjustments will help ensure they remain comfortable and functional over time.
Are dentures uncomfortable to wear?
Dentures can feel different at first, but they’re custom-made for comfort. After a brief adjustment period, most people find them easy to wear.
Can I sleep with my dentures in?
It’s generally recommended to remove dentures at night to give your gums a rest and to clean the dentures. Your dentist can provide guidance based on your specific needs.
How do I clean my dentures?
Clean your dentures daily with a soft brush and mild soap or denture cleanser. Avoid hot water, as it can warp the material. Rinse well and store them in a soaking solution overnight.
Will dentures affect my speech?
Dentures may slightly affect your speech at first, but with practice, most people adapt quickly. Reading aloud can help speed up the adjustment process.
