Dentures in Hervey Bay
Missing teeth do more than leave gaps in your smile—they can make everyday tasks like eating and speaking frustrating. Whether you’ve lost one tooth or many, dentures offer a straightforward, affordable way to restore function and boost your confidence. At Hervey Bay Dental, we create replacements designed to feel comfortable, look natural, and help you enjoy life again.
Your Solution for Gaps and Missing Teeth
Dentures are removable appliances that replace one missing tooth or more. Made from high-quality materials and carefully shaped to suit your mouth, they help restore both function and appearance. Depending on your needs, they can replace just a few teeth or an entire arch.
Proper care is key to keeping your appliance—and your mouth—in top shape. Just like natural teeth, daily cleaning is required to remove food debris, plaque, and bacteria. Keeping them clean helps protect your gums from irritation and infection. Over time, minor adjustments may be needed to adjust the fit for comfort, so regular dental checkups are essential.
Options for Replacing Your Teeth
We offer two main types of appliances, designed to suit different needs and preferences:
- Partial – These appliances are perfect if you are missing one tooth or several. They attach securely to your natural tooth with small clasps, filling gaps seamlessly.
- Complete – For those missing most or all teeth in the upper or lower jaw, a complete set provides full coverage and restores your smile.
Why Most Patients Choose Digital Replacements
Most of our patients now choose digital dentures, which make up around 90% of the appliances we provide. These modern replacements are made using advanced 3D scanning and computer-aided design technology. No messy impressions are required—just a fast, accurate digital scan for a customised match to your natural teeth.
“Digital dentures are another big plus; we’re offering them in partnership with Southern Cross Dental Lab, and since they’re impression-free, they’re more accurate and comfortable for patients,” states Dr Knob (Dentist).
Thanks to digital technology, you’ll benefit from a precise fit, fewer appointments, and a denture that feels as good as it looks.
