DENTURE MATERIALS - GOLD COAST

At Burleigh Denture Clinic, our licensed prosthetist can provide custom made dentures for that aim to increase comfort, fit and appearance. We can provide all patients on the Gold Coast with durable and comfortable dentures made with materials such as the Schottlander Enigma system.

We understand the physical and emotional damage that can be caused by teeth loss. It can cause lowered self esteem, as well as create challenges to every day activities such as eating and speaking. Enigma teeth are designed to replicate natural teeth not just through appearance, but also functionality.

If you require a full denture, our dentures are made with a high impact acrylic base to ensure durability. We can create an impression of your teeth before and after your teeth extraction to create the most natural looking teeth. The Schottlander Enigma system has a wide range of shapes and sizes, designed to produce life like teeth for a natural appearance. The denture is then fully contoured with the gums stained and coloured to look like real gum. You can also choose to have your new dentures with a metal cobalt chromium framework for added strength and durability.

When you visit Burleigh Denture Clinic, we offer a tailored service to create a denture designed for your personal needs. If you only need a partial denture, we have the Valplast Flexible Partial which are realistic, functional and comfortable. The flexible material provides a lightweight denture that moves with you while you’re eating, talking and smiling. There’s no metal clasps, and the small side plates can ensure a more comfortable fit against the gums.

Whatever style of denture you need, Burleigh Denture Clinic has you covered. We can also provide implant retained dentures, and soft liner relines to help increase the longevity of your dentures.

Dentures are made to look and function like your natural teeth. This is achieved by different teeth shapes and sizes, as well as colouring of the teeth and gums.
How does dentures stay in place?

Partial dentures have a metal clasp that clips around your teeth for a secure fit.
Partial dentures can be made from flexible material that can create suction to your
gums. You can also choose to have implant retained dentures to ensure a
permanent fit. Full dentures are fitted by suction.
What’s the best material for dentures?

Porcelain used to be the most common material used for dentures, but it was unable to absorb the chewing force due to the heavy weight of porcelain. Acrylic dentures are preferred because they are lighter, and can relay less pressure on gums and bone tissue resulting in a more comfortable fit.
