Custom Dentures in Perth for a Confident, Comfortable Smile
Modern Dentures
Comfortable, Natural-Looking Tooth Replacement
Losing teeth—whether from injury, decay, or natural ageing—can affect your ability to eat comfortably, speak clearly, and feel comfortable in daily life. When gaps remain over time, they can lead to changes in your bite or facial structure, which in turn affect how your mouth functions and how your face appears. If concerns about comfort or appearance have delayed treatment, even simple tasks such as eating and speaking can become more challenging.
Modern dentures are designed for comfort, appearance, and function using lightweight and durable materials. At Beyond Smiles Dental, full and partial dentures are carefully fitted to support speech, chewing, and oral health, thereby enhancing facial proportions and maximising long-term comfort, natural beauty, and functionality in daily life.

Restoring Oral Function
Common Dental Issues Dentures Can Help With
Difficulty Chewing
When you’re missing teeth, chewing everyday meals like steak, apples, or sandwiches can be frustrating—but with dentures, you can enjoy your food more comfortably and regain the ease, oral health, and satisfaction that eating should bring.
Changes in Speech
If missing teeth have changed the way you speak or made certain words harder to pronounce, dentures may help restore your bite and make it easier to talk clearly and feel more at ease in conversations.
Collapsed Facial Appearance
If you’ve lost teeth, you might notice changes in your facial shape over time. Well-fitted dentures can help support your jaw, improve facial balance, and maintain a natural appearance that helps you feel more like yourself.
Jaw or Bite Imbalance
If missing teeth have affected your bite, you might notice jaw discomfort or strain on other teeth. Dentures can help rebalance your bite and make daily activities, such as chewing, feel smoother and more comfortable again.

WE’VE GOT ANSWERS
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the different types of dentures?
There are several types of dentures available, each tailored to support different oral health needs. The right choice depends on the number of teeth missing, the condition of your jawbone, and your preferences regarding comfort, function, and appearance.
- Complete (Full) Dentures:
Used when all natural teeth are missing in the upper or lower jaw, complete dentures help restore chewing ability and support facial features after tooth loss. - Partial Dentures:
Recommended when some natural teeth remain, partial dentures fill the gaps, may help reduce the risk of teeth shifting, and restore balance to your bite and appearance. - Implant-Supported Dentures:
These are anchored to dental implants surgically placed in the jaw. They offer enhanced stability and may improve function while eating and speaking. - Snap-In Dentures:
Snap-in dentures attach to implants using press-stud mechanisms. They remain removable but provide more secure placement than conventional dentures. - Flexible Dentures:
Made of soft, gum-coloured materials that fit the shape of your mouth. They are often used for individuals who are allergic to metal or acrylic. - Overdentures:
These are made to fit over a few remaining teeth or implants. They provide additional support and can help maintain the health of the soft tissues and jawbone underneath them.
What is the most natural-looking type of denture?
The denture option most often associated with a natural appearance is a custom-made, implant-supported denture. These natural-looking dentures offer customised aesthetics and may provide additional stability and a more secure fit that closely resembles natural teeth.
Here’s why implant-supported custom dentures can look more natural:
- Individually designed:
Each denture is customised to match your unique facial features, tooth alignment, and smile profile. - Natural materials:
High-quality acrylic or porcelain is used to replicate the shade, translucency, and texture of real teeth and gums. - Stable and secure:
Dental implants anchor the denture in place, helping reduce movement and improving the gum-to-tooth transition. - Gum-matching base:
The denture base can be tinted to match your natural gum colour, creating a natural-looking appearance. - Facial support:
Helps maintain cheek and lip volume, which contributes to a more youthful and natural appearance.
Not every patient is suitable for implant-supported dentures. Factors such as jawbone density, oral health, and budget influence the most appropriate choice. If you’re seeking natural-looking dentures, your dentist will assess your individual needs to recommend a suitable, clinically appropriate option.
Are dentures comfortable to wear?
Comfort with dentures varies, but for many patients, they adapt well, especially when they are well-fitted and properly maintained. However, comfort can vary based on several individual factors.
Factors That Can Influence Denture Comfort:
- Fit and design:
Custom-made or implant-supported dentures are often more stable and may feel more natural in the mouth. - Adjustment period:
It’s normal to experience a short adjustment phase, which may include minor irritation, changes in speech, or increased saliva. - Materials used:
Lightweight and flexible materials can reduce pressure on the gums, improving day-to-day comfort for some wearers. - Oral health status:
Healthy gum tissue and adequate bone structure support a more comfortable and secure fit. - Regular reviews and maintenance:
Dentures may require relining or adjustments over time as your mouth naturally changes shape.
If your dentures feel loose, painful, or cause sore spots, it’s important to speak with your dentist. Suitability and outcomes vary. Your dentist will assess your needs and recommend appropriate denture options. Timely adjustments help maintain comfort and prevent further irritation or complications.
Can I get dentures without dental implants?
Yes, dentures can be provided without the need for dental implants. Traditional (non-implant) dentures remain a widely used and effective option for replacing missing teeth.
Here are the denture options that do not require implants:
- Complete (Full) Dentures:
Designed for individuals who have lost all teeth in either the upper or lower jaw. These dentures sit directly on the gums and rely on suction or adhesive for support. - Partial Dentures:
Ideal when several teeth are missing, but others remain intact. They are supported by the natural teeth surrounding them and held in place with small metal clasps or custom fittings. - Flexible Dentures:
Constructed from soft, flexible materials that contour to the natural shape of your mouth. Commonly used for partial replacements, they offer a more adaptable and lightweight feel.
Traditional dentures offer a non-surgical alternative, though they may require adjustments over time as your mouth changes. Your dentist will recommend the most suitable option based on your oral health and goals.
How much do dentures cost?
Denture prices depend on the type and design selected, as well as your individual treatment needs. As a local denture clinic in Perth, Beyond Smiles Dental offers a range of options to suit different preferences.
- Full Dentures (Upper and Lower):
A complete set of upper and lower dentures usually ranges from $2,795 to $4,700. - Single Arch Denture (Upper or Lower):
A single upper or lower denture generally ranges from $1,555 to $3,800.
Following a clinical assessment, we will provide a tailored treatment plan and quote. Flexible payment options and assistance with health fund claims are available.
Can you sleep with dentures in?
Although it is possible to sleep with dentures in, removing them overnight is generally recommended to maintain oral tissue health and reduce the risk of complications.
Here are the reasons to clean dentures at night:
- Relieves pressure on oral tissues:
Removing dentures allows your gums and underlying tissues to rest, which may help prevent discomfort or pressure-related irritation. - Supports oral hygiene:
Wearing dentures overnight can increase the risk of infections, such as denture stomatitis, due to bacterial or fungal buildup. - Helps maintain denture fit and longevity:
Giving your dentures a break can minimise wear and help maintain their shape and stability over time. - Encourages healthy gums and jawbone:
Overnight removal can improve blood flow to the gums and may reduce the long-term risk of bone resorption.
Dentures should be cleaned thoroughly before bedtime and stored in water or a denture-cleaning soak recommended by your dentist. Your dentist will provide personalised instructions tailored to your specific oral health needs.
Do dentures affect eating or speaking?
Wearing dentures can temporarily affect eating and speaking, particularly during the initial adjustment period. Most people adapt over time with regular use and support from their dental provider.
Eating with dentures may require adjustments to your food choices and technique.
- Early adjustments:
Chewing may feel unfamiliar at first, and foods like steak, nuts, or crusty bread may be more challenging to manage initially. - Recommended approach:
Start with foods like yoghurt, scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes, or pasta, and chew slowly to build support before gradually reintroducing more textured items. - Fit matters:
Well-fitting dentures, including implant-supported options, may improve chewing comfort and stability compared to loose or worn appliances.
Speaking with dentures may feel different at first, but it usually becomes more comfortable with practice.
- Temporary changes:
Certain sounds, such as “s” or “th,” may require practice during the early stages of wearing dentures. - Adaptation over time:
With regular wear, most people regain clear speech within a few weeks. - Practice techniques:
Reading aloud or repeating difficult words can help improve clarity and oral health.
If difficulties with eating or speaking persist, a review with your dentist is recommended to assess fit and function.
What are the alternatives to dentures?
If you’re considering alternatives to traditional dentures, several options can restore function and appearance. The right choice depends on your oral health, the number of missing teeth, and your preference for surgical or non-surgical methods.
| Treatment Option | Description | May Be Suitable For |
| Dental Implants | Titanium posts are surgically placed in the jawbone to support crowns, bridges, or implant-retained dentures. | It may be an option for patients with sufficient bone support who prefer a fixed replacement. |
| Implant-Supported Bridge | A row of missing teeth is replaced using dental implants as anchors. This option is stable and involves minor oral surgery. | This option may be considered for patients who have several missing teeth and sufficient bone support. |
| Fixed Dental Bridge | The adjacent natural teeth serve as anchors for the artificial teeth. This option does not require implants or surgery. | People missing one or more teeth with healthy adjacent teeth can benefit from this option. |
| Removable Partial Denture | A removable device replaces a few missing teeth without covering the entire arch. No surgical procedure is required. | Patients are seeking a non-surgical, conservative alternative to fixed bridges or multiple implants. |
Who should not get dentures?
Dentures may not be ideal for everyone. Your dentist will assess your circumstances before recommending a treatment plan.
- Active gum disease or infection:
Oral infections must be fully healed before dentures can be effectively and comfortably fitted. - Extensive bone or tissue loss:
Severe bone loss can impact denture fit and may necessitate alternative approaches or implant support. - Limited dexterity or memory challenges:
Difficulty managing removable dentures may affect hygiene and long-term wearability. - Desire for non-removable options:
Patients who prefer non-removable options may discuss implants or bridges with their dentist. - Oral sensitivity or gag reflex:
Some individuals may struggle to adapt to dentures due to discomfort or a heightened gag reflex.
What happens if my denture breaks?
If your denture breaks, discontinue use and contact your dentist promptly. Wearing a damaged denture may cause irritation, further breakage, or reduced function.
- Maintain dentures carefully to reduce the risk of breakage
- Clean over a soft surface, such as a towel or basin of water, to help prevent damage if dropped.
- Store dentures in water or a denture soak when not in use to maintain shape and material integrity.
- Attend routine dental check-ups so your dentist can monitor the fit and identify early signs of wear or stress.
- Professional restoration is recommended for damaged dentures
- Avoid using adhesives or attempting home adjustments, as these can harm the denture and pose risks
- Schedule a dental appointment as soon as possible, especially if you have a crack, fracture, or looseness in one of your teeth.
- Replacement may be advised if the damage is significant or the denture no longer fits properly.
- Follow the appropriate steps if your denture breaks
- Avoid wearing the broken denture to prevent gum irritation or further damage.
- Keep all broken parts and bring them to your dentist for evaluation and restoration.
- Seek timely dental care, especially if you’re experiencing discomfort or difficulty eating.
