How Much Do Dentures Cost In Australia?

Missing teeth or tooth loss is a common experience for many Australians, and in most cases, this results in dental implants or partial dentures. This can be a result of many dental problems like gum disease or tooth decay.

At Kensington Dental Care, we believe that understanding the financial aspects of dental treatments, such as the overall cost of dentures, is essential in making informed decisions about your oral health care and dental hygiene.

What Should You Expect Dentures To Cost?

Conventional dentures or partial dentures can vary in cost due to a number of factors, like the materials used, the probability of dental procedures required and the type of denture you may need.

Please note that getting fixed dentures is a multi-step process that involves a thorough assessment of your overall dental health, jawbone condition, and specific dental needs. The suitability of fixed dentures also depends on your willingness to undergo dental surgery.

What Are The Available Types Of Dentures?

Like many dental procedures, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. What may work for someone else, might not be what you need. That’s why at Kensington Dental Care, we offer a range of dental solutions for missing teeth, such as bridges, removable acrylic dentures, chrome dentures, overdentures, temporary dentures and fixed dentures (All-on-4®).

Do You Need Permanent Dentures?

Permanent dentures or fixed dentures are both used by dentists or dental prosthodontists to replace your missing natural teeth. Unlike removable temporary dentures (known as false teeth), these types of dentures are retained by implants thatl are surgically placed in the jaw, which offers a stable and permanent solution with denture teeth for those looking to brighten up their smile.

All-on-4® Teeth Solutions

The All-on-4® treatment is a revolutionary dental implant procedure that can replace missing teeth in as little as one to two days. The treatment uses four or more titanium implants to provide a secure base for up to 10-12 fixed replacement teeth, (upper and lower dentures). For information on this treatment option, click here.

Do You Require Temporary Dentures?

Immediate dentures also known as temporary dentures are made of artificial teeth attached to gum-coloured denture bases, which can fit over the upper and lower gums. This type of denture stays in place by suction, but may also require the use of denture adhesive. Unlike permanent fixed options, these immediate dentures need to be removed for cleaning and soaked in a denture cleanser overnight.
