Complete and Partial Dentures in Townsville
Dentures in Townsville provide patients with a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding oral tissues. At Casey Dentists, we offer two types of dentures – complete and partial – tailored to restore your smile, comfort and confidence.
Complete dentures
Our highly experienced dentists design dentures in Townsville after any remaining teeth have been extracted and the gums have started to heal. In most cases, patients are fitted with complete dentures around 8–12 weeks following tooth extraction.
Alternatively, immediate dentures are made in advance and can be worn as soon as the teeth have been removed. This means you won’t have to go without teeth during the healing period.
During the first few weeks after tooth extraction, the jawbone and gums naturally shrink. As a result, immediate dentures often require more adjustments than conventional dentures to ensure a comfortable fit while healing. Generally, immediate dentures are considered a temporary solution until your conventional dentures are ready to be fitted.
Partial dentures
Patients at Casey Dentists can also choose removable partial dentures. These consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum-coloured acrylic base and a metal framework that holds them securely in place. Partial dentures are suitable for patients who still have some healthy natural teeth remaining in either the upper or lower jaw, providing a practical and comfortable tooth replacement option.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I get dentures?
The denture procedure starts with a comprehensive examination and discussion regarding your options and the right type for you, taking into consideration your requirements and budget.
We offer various interest-free credit plans paid in low monthly instalments to help with the cost of dentures in Townsville. Below is a brief outline of how your dentures are made:
- The dentist will take a series of impressions of your jaws to gauge how they relate to each other and how much space is between them
- These impressions help us create wax forms, models, or plastic patterns matching the exact shape and position of the denture to be made. The model is tried in the mouth several times and assessed for fit, shape, and colour before casting the final denture.
What are the benefits of dentures?
The obvious benefit of dentures is they help provide a natural facial appearance and can potentially increase the wearer’s self-confidence. But that’s not all.
- Dentures give a more rounded appearance to the face by providing support for the lips and cheeks, which can often give a sunken look in Townsville patients with missing teeth.
- People lose the ability to chew their food correctly when their teeth are missing. Dentures improve biting and chewing functionality. As a result, food is more easily digested as it moves through the body, enabling denture wearers to reap maximum nutritional benefits from the food they consume.
So, not only do complete and partial dentures improve the appearance and health of the smile and face, but also of the body.
When teeth are lost, people often find their speech is affected, and they have difficulty pronouncing certain words, even more so when canines and incisors are missing. When you opt for dentures from our Townsville practice, you should notice an improvement in your speech.
What are the disadvantages of dentures?
Dentures are not a permanent solution to missing teeth and must be taken out of the mouth to clean and rest your gums overnight. They can initially feel uncomfortable, and it may take several weeks to get used to them. Some words may also be difficult to pronounce, but this will get better over time.
Is there an alternative to a removable denture?
One of the problems with dentures is bone resorption, which causes the jaw to change shape over time and dentures to lose their fit. Loose dentures can be a source of embarrassment for the wearer, mainly when speaking or eating.
Many of our long-standing Townsville denture wearers request implant-supported over-dentures because of difficulty stabilising the lower denture due to severe bone resorption. Up to 5 tooth implants surgically inserted into the jawbone can fully retain and support an immovable denture.
While the cost may be greater, this alternative feels more like natural teeth.
