If you’ve lost all or most of your natural teeth, full dentures — commonly referred to as false teeth — offer an effective and affordable solution. At Direct Denture Care, we specialise in crafting comfortable, natural-looking dentures that restore your ability to chew, speak, and smile. With clinics conveniently located in Balcatta and Hillarys, we’ve helped hundreds of Perth residents regain their confidence and quality of life.
What Are Full Dentures?
Full or complete dentures are removable prosthetic devices that replace entire arches of missing teeth. You can get these removable dentures for the upper or lower jaw — or both. Each denture consists of prosthetic teeth set into an acrylic base that mimics natural gum tissue. Custom-made, these dentures fit your unique mouth, replicating natural teeth in appearance and practice.
They might be false teeth, but the benefits of full dentures are very real. These cosmetic dentures allow you to chew comfortably, speak clearly, and smile without hesitation. Full dentures also support your facial structure, preventing the sunken appearance that often follows tooth loss.
Full Denture Solutions in Perth
We offer three types of full dentures to suit different needs and preferences:
1. Conventional Full Dentures
These are fitted after any remaining teeth have been extracted and the gum tissue has healed — typically after 8–12 weeks. This ensures a more stable and comfortable fit.
2. Immediate Dentures
Inserted on the same day as tooth extraction, immediate dentures provide you with temporary false teeth while your gums heal. This option means you won’t be left without teeth during the healing process.
3. Implant Overdentures
These dentures are secured using dental implants, offering improved stability for those who want a more permanent and secure solution. Ideal for those with sufficient bone density, implant overdentures improve chewing function and reduce denture movement.

Denture Maintenance Tips
Taking good care of full dentures ensures longevity and hygiene:
- Clean your dentures daily using a soft-bristled toothbrush and denture cleanser — NEVER traditional toothpaste, which is abrasive on the delicate prosthesis
- Soak your dentures overnight in a denture solution
- DON’T use hot water as it can warp the prosthesis’ shape
- Visit your denture clinic regularly for adjustments and relines (as the shape of your mouth evolves)
- Visit your denture clinic for emergency denture repairs if necessary
Full Dentures: FAQs
Are Full Dentures the Same as False Teeth?
Yes, full dentures are commonly referred to as false teeth. They replace a full arch of missing teeth using a removable prosthetic.
How Long Do Full Dentures Last?
With proper care, full dentures typically last between 5 to 10 years. Over time, adjustments or replacements may be needed as your mouth changes shape.
Can I Eat Normally with Full Dentures?
Yes, although it may take a few weeks to adjust. Start with softer foods and gradually return to a normal diet. Avoid very sticky or hard items — these can put excess strain on the dentures and potentially dislodge them.
Are Full Dentures Painful to Wear?
It’s normal to feel some discomfort while you’re adjusting to new dentures, but you should not experience pain if your dentures have been correctly fitted. If you’re experiencing discomfort, contact your prosthetist to adjust your appliance or redo the denture fitting process altogether.
How Much Do Full Dentures Cost in Perth?
The cost varies depending on materials and customisation. Direct Denture Care offers competitive pricing and a free consultation to discuss your options.
