Dentures in Geelong for a natural comfortable smile

Dentures in Geelong that look and feel natural are crafted at Wyatt Ryan Dental Surgeons, with conventional full and partial options tailored to your bite, facial support and lifestyle. Our goal is a dependable, comfortable result that restores confident chewing and a balanced smile.

What are conventional dentures

Conventional dentures are custom made removable appliances that replace missing teeth after your gums have healed from any extractions. They rest on the gums and are designed to fit closely to your mouth for stability, comfort and a natural appearance. Materials are chosen for strength and lifelike shading so the teeth and gums blend with your features.

Full and partial options

• Full dentures: Replace all teeth in the upper or lower arch. Upper dentures often feel very secure due to the palate’s surface area.
• Partial dentures: Replace several missing teeth while preserving healthy remaining teeth. Options include acrylic or metal frameworks, with clasps designed for a discreet, natural look and firm support.

We help you decide which design best suits your oral health, bite and hygiene routine.

How we design and fit your dentures

Your journey starts with a thorough examination to assess gums, bone support and jaw joints. We take impressions and accurate measurements, then record your bite to position the teeth correctly for function and appearance. Tooth shape and shade are selected to complement your face and smile line. A trial stage lets us check the setup before the final denture is finished. At the fit appointment we make fine adjustments and provide clear instructions for wear and care. Review visits are scheduled to ensure long term comfort.

Eating speaking and daily care tips

Most people adapt well with a few simple habits:

• Start small: Choose softer foods at first and cut them into small pieces. Chew on both sides to keep the denture balanced.
• Add texture gradually: Introduce firmer foods as confidence grows. Very sticky or hard items can be challenging early on.
• Practise speech: Read aloud or sing to refine clarity. Any slight change in speech usually settles with practice.
• Clean daily: Rinse after meals. Brush the denture with a soft brush and non abrasive cleaner, not regular toothpaste. Gently brush your gums, tongue and palate to keep tissues healthy. Soak the denture overnight in clean water or a recommended solution.
• Handle with care: Avoid hot water and household bleach. If dropped or cracked, contact us rather than using DIY glues.

Relines, repairs and replacement

Your mouth can change over time, which may affect fit. A reline refreshes the fitting surface so it matches your gums again. Fast, professional repairs restore strength and appearance if a crack or chip occurs. Book a visit if you notice rubbing spots, movement when eating, food frequently getting underneath, changes in your bite or a denture that no longer looks natural. Many dentures perform well for five to seven years before they need significant maintenance or replacement.
