Full / Partial Dentures
If you have lost one or more teeth, you may require partial dentures. These dentures are typically secured with a clasp to your remaining teeth and gums. At DK Dental Studio, our partial dentures are crafted from high-quality materials—whether you choose chrome, acrylic, or metal—and are made to exacting standards.
Our technicians collaborate with your dentist to maximize the longevity of your natural teeth, ensuring the best possible outcome for you.
The benefits of our partial dentures include:
Preventing additional damage to existing teeth
Stopping existing teeth from becoming crooked
Being easily removable and replaceable
Ideal for patients who still have some natural teeth
New - Immediate (Temporary) Dentures
Full dentures are designed to replace an entire row of teeth, whether it's the upper, lower, or both. Teeth are essential not only for eating but also for speaking, smiling, and supporting the facial muscles around the mouth.
At DK Dental Studio, our full dentures are meticulously crafted from high-quality acrylic to fit your mouth perfectly.
The benefits of our full dentures include:
Natural-looking teeth
Precise duplication of gum profile and color
Long-lasting durability
Comfortable fit
Existing Denture - Immediate Addition
Traditionally after getting your teeth extracted you would have to wait 2-3 months or longer for your bone and gum to heal before making a new denture or adding to your existing denture. During this time you will have missing teeth from your smile, will have difficulties eating, your tongue will overgrow, and your existing denture will be uncomfortable which could create future issues when constructing a new denture.
The concept of an immediate addition enables immediate restoration of your smile and eating ability after tooth extraction, aiding in the healing process without waiting for bone and gum healing while also maintaining the tongue space.
Snap on Smiles
According to the Australian Dental Association, one-third of dental injuries are sports-related. A custom mouthguard is essential for participants in contact sports to prevent damage to teeth, lips, and gums.
At Dk Dental Studio, we take an impression of your teeth and gums before fabricating your mouthguard. This ensures a secure and precise fit. Custom sports mouthguards, made from a mould of your mouth, offer superior protection and comfort compared to over-the-counter options.
Implant Retained Overdentures
At DK Dental Studio, we provide full upper and lower implant-retained dentures.
As a popular alternative to traditional dentures, our dental prosthetists offer a secure and visually pleasing solution for missing teeth or teeth that need to be extracted. Having implant-retained dentures fitted can improve:
Speaking ability
Eating
Bone structure

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I bleach my dentures?
Do not attempt to use bleach on your dentures as it can permanently damage them, making them brittle and liable to breakage. Not just that, it can ruin their appearance making them look less natural. Avoid using very hot water as well, as this can distort their shape and you may need to have them relined.
Can I sleep in my dentures?
When your dentures are new, we would recommend you wear them to sleep in. This helps your gums to adapt. After a week or two, we suggest removing them at bedtime to allow your gums to be cleansed by the saliva on your tongue.
How long should your dentures last?
5-7 years on average if relined on time.
How long will my mouthguards last?
For adults, a well-maintained mouthguard will generally last 2-3years. We recommend washing it in cold water, storing it in its original packaging and away from direct sunlight.
Children's mouths are constantly changing as they lose teeth and new ones erupt. Ask your dentist to check the mouthguard at your child's regular dental check-up.
Children/Teenagers mouthguard last about 1 year or less depending on how fast they grow

AFTERCARE
How to clean your denture?
To clean your denture, remove it from your mouth and rinse it under warm running water. Gently brush the denture with a soft-bristled denture brush and soap or non abrasive toothpaste, ensuring to clean all surfaces. Soak the denture overnight in a denture cleaning solution or water, rinse thoroughly before use, and clean your mouth, gums or natural teeth before reinserting the denture.
(Note: don't not put a dry denture in your mouth, make sure it is wet with water).
How to apply a denture adhesive agent?
To apply denture adhesive, clean your denture and dry it thoroughly. Apply the adhesive in thin strips or dots on the inside of the denture surface. Insert the denture into your mouth, pressing firmly and holding in place for 1 minute to ensure a secure fit.
(Note: if you apply too much you will taste it, that means put less next time).
How to treat blisters caused by dentures?
Take your denture out of your mouth. Make yourself a cup of warm water and salt (1 teaspoon is enough). Rinse your mouth with the warm water and salt till the cup is finished. Repeat this twice a day till your blister is gone. (Note: it is important to make sure your denture has been adjusted and fits properly, otherwise the blister will keep returning).
Your dentures can also be machine cleaned by DK Dental Studio. We recommend this every 6 months or if your dentures have significant build up or staining.
