Services
Full Dentures
Custom-crafted full dentures replace all teeth using advanced CAD/CAM technology for precise fit. Our milled dentures offer superior durability with biocompatible materials, while 3D printed options provide cost-effective alternatives without compromising accuracy. Each set undergoes rigorous testing for bite alignment and aesthetics before finalisation.
Immediate Dentures
Immediate dentures allow patients to maintain their smile during extractions. We create transitional dentures fitted the same day as tooth removal, with modifications over 6-12 months to ensure optimal fit as healing occurs. This process maintains facial structure and eliminates gaps in dental function.
Implant Dentures
Implant-retained overdentures combine metal frameworks with milled teeth for natural function. These solutions use dental implants for secure anchorage, preventing bone loss while providing stability for chewing and speaking. Our team utilises digital scanning to ensure perfect integration with existing oral structures.
Denture Repairs
Professional repair services restore damaged or broken dentures using matching materials for seamless results. We address cracks, missing teeth, or structural issues while maintaining original fit and aesthetics. Emergency repairs are prioritised to minimise disruption to daily life.
Custom Mouthguards
Tailored mouthguards protect teeth during sports or sleep-related grinding. Using precise impressions, we create durable guards that fit comfortably while preventing dental trauma. Options include boil-and-bite alternatives for cost-sensitive patients requiring basic protection.

Questions
What makes Adelaide Hills Dentures different from regular dentists?
We are specialist dental prosthetists, not general dentists, focusing exclusively on removable dentures and prosthetics. This specialisation allows us to offer more advanced solutions and techniques specifically for denture patients.
Can I get dentures on the same day as extractions?
Yes, we provide immediate dentures that can be fitted during your extraction appointment. These transitional dentures maintain your appearance while your mouth heals, with modifications made over the following year.
What technology do you use for denture creation?
We use CAD/CAM scanning and design software, with options for milled dentures (highest quality) or 3D printed dentures (cost-effective). This digital workflow ensures greater accuracy compared to traditional methods.
Do you offer government-supported dental schemes?
Yes, we participate in the SA government's Pensioner Dental Scheme. Check eligibility with our team to access subsidised denture solutions for qualifying pensioners.
What if I lose or damage my denture?
We can recreate lost dentures using digital records if no mouth changes have occurred. For repairs, we restore broken dentures while maintaining original fit and aesthetics using matching materials.
How do you handle sensitive gag reflex cases?
We use specialised impression materials and techniques to minimise discomfort. Our experience with challenging cases allows us to create accurate impressions even for patients previously told they couldn't wear dentures.
