What are full dentures?
Full dentures are a kind of dentures, which replace all the teeth in both jaws. They are provided by experienced dentists called Prosthodontists.

- It will help to maintain the appropriate alignment between the upper and lower jaws, and prevent jaw joint problems.
Will I have to be toothless after tooth extractions?
- No, you need not be without your teeth.
- Dentures can be made before the teeth are taken out, and placed directly after the teeth are extracted.
- Measurements and impressions for these dentures are taken by our dentists Townsville before the teeth are extracted.
What treatment is required before new dentures can be made?
If old dentures have caused the damage to the ridges of the jaws, our dentist place a soft material in the old dentures to allow the tissues to recover. This procedure is called “tissue conditioning”.
If the condition and shape of the ridges are not suited for dentures, surgical corrections are necessary.
