Dentures
At our Parramatta practice, Dr Potres provides high-quality, customised dentures designed to restore function, comfort, and confidence. Whether you need full or partial dentures, we offer modern, natural-looking solutions tailored to your needs.
Dentures are a trusted, non-surgical way to replace missing teeth—restoring your ability to speak, eat, and smile with ease. With today’s advanced materials and techniques, dentures are more comfortable and lifelike than ever.
Types of Dentures We Offer
Complete Dentures
Complete dentures replace all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw. These removable prosthetics sit on the gums and are carefully crafted to restore facial structure, improve chewing ability, and support your lips and cheeks. Full dentures are ideal for patients who have lost all teeth in one or both arches.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. They consist of a gum-colored base with replacement teeth and are secured with discreet clasps or precision attachments. Partial dentures help restore function while preventing remaining teeth from shifting out of place.
What to Expect
Initial Consultation and Assessment
Dr Potres will begin with a comprehensive oral exam and a discussion of your goals. We’ll take impressions and assess your jaw, gums, and remaining teeth (if any) to determine the most suitable denture option.
Design and Fitting
Your dentures will be carefully crafted to match your facial features, smile, and bite. We work closely with top dental labs to ensure an accurate, natural-looking fit.
Adjustments for Comfort
Once your dentures are ready, we’ll make any necessary adjustments to ensure comfort and function. Follow-up appointments help fine-tune the fit and guide you through the adjustment period.
Ongoing Care
Proper care is essential for maintaining your dentures and oral health. We’ll provide clear instructions and schedule regular check-ups to ensure your dentures remain in excellent condition.

Questions about Dentures
Yes, dental implants can be used to retain removable dentures or fully support fixed bridges, eliminating the need for a denture. The cost is usually greater, but the implants and bridges more closely resemble the feel of real teeth. Dental implants are becoming the alternative to dentures but not everyone is a candidate for implants.
With proper care, dentures can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years. Over time, changes in your mouth and jaw shape may require adjustments, relining, or replacement to ensure a proper fit.
There may be a short adjustment period as you get used to your dentures. You may experience minor changes in speech and chewing at first, but with practice and time, most patients adapt quickly and regain normal function.
Well-fitted dentures should feel comfortable and secure. Some initial discomfort is normal as your mouth adjusts, but we work closely with you to ensure a snug, pain-free fit through follow-up appointments and adjustments.
It’s generally recommended to remove your dentures at night to give your gums a chance to rest and to allow for proper cleaning. However, in some cases, your dentist may advise otherwise.
Clean your dentures daily using a soft toothbrush and a non-abrasive denture cleaner. Avoid using regular toothpaste, which can be too harsh. Rinse thoroughly and soak them overnight in a denture-cleaning solution as advised.
A Prosthodontist is a specialist dentist who has undertaken additional years of specialist training in restoring and replacing teeth.
This enables Prosthodontists to use that specialist training to restore a tooth or teeth with bonding, veneers or crowns and replacing teeth with implants, bridgework or removable partial dentures.
Improving jaw function and treating conditions of the jaw joint is also a part of the role of a Prosthodontist.
Usually your general dentist will refer you to a Prosthodontist if the restoration or replacement of your tooth and teeth are complicated or involve multiple teeth.
Treatment can also be complicated by medical conditions, dental wear and tear, trauma, and congenital or hereditary conditions. That’s where our specialist training becomes invaluable.
