Why is Northern Rivers Denture Clinic a good choice for you?
The friendly team at Northern Rivers Denture Clinic is proud to provide denture services to Tweed and Gold Coast residents, as both mobile denture specialists and also ‘in-house’ at their Wharf Street denture clinic and on-site laboratory. True locals, Dr Paul Hargrave (senior dental prosthetist) and his wife Simone, are co-owners of the longest running denture clinic in the Tweed Heads region. The clinic’s central location and close proximity to aged care and nursing home facilities in the local area, means prices and turnaround times can be kept to a minimum.
How long will it take to make my denture using the mobile service?
A new full denture or new partial denture usually requires 5 visits over 3 weeks to finalise.
First appointment
No obligation, free appointment: evaluation of your mouth and discussion of your requirements takes place.
If you require tooth extraction, our dental prosthetist will liaise with your dentist regarding the choice of denture best for you. It may be an immediate denture which is fitted immediately following the tooth extraction, or alternatively, a conventional denture where healing of your mouth and gums takes place before the permanent denture is fitted.
Second appointment
Preliminary impressions are taken for the construction of a customised special tray.
Third appointment
Your dental prosthetist takes impressions of your mouth with the customised trays and registers your bite with a wax block.
Fourth Appointment
You will ‘try-in’ a wax model of the denture to check for appearance and fit.
Fifth appointment
Your finished dentures are fitted, and you are given a care pack with instructions and products for your denture maintenance.
Adjustments of your denture
During the initial phase of becoming accustomed to your new denture, it’s not unusual to develop sore spots or pressure points. Small adjustments easily resolve the problem. We include two adjustments in the price of your denture.
As your mouth and gums heal, it is quite normal for them to shrink (resorption). As a consequence, your denture becomes loose, causing instability and discomfort. In this case your denture will need relining. Applying a thin layer of acrylic between the inside of your denture and the fitting surface of your gums restores close fit and stability, so crucial to preserving the life of your denture.
No need to leave your home to access this service. Our mobile denture service can come to you. After a home visit to determine your needs, our dental prosthetist will reline your denture in our laboratory and then return it to you. Easy!
Use our online booking form to arrange an appointment or give us a call on (07) 5536 4241.
