Core Dental Group – Dentures at Core Dental Bayside - Opening June 2026

Core Dental Group is bringing quality dental care to Bentleigh and the wider Bayside area, with Core Dental Bayside opening at 973 Nepean Hwy in June 2026. Custom denture solutions will be a core part of what the practice offers to the local community.

Denture Options at Core Dental Bayside

The team will offer a full range of denture solutions to suit different needs and budgets.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures replace one or several missing teeth while keeping your remaining natural teeth intact. They're made to blend naturally with your smile and come in three materials:

• Acrylic - lightweight and affordable, a solid entry-level choice
• Cobalt-chrome metal - longer-lasting and highly recommended for anyone planning to wear dentures long-term
• Flexible resin - well-suited to transitional or short-term use

Multiple adjustments are included to get the fit comfortable and stable.

Full Dentures

Full dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw. Two options are available:

• Conventional full dentures - placed after the gums have healed, which typically produces the best long-term fit
• Immediate dentures - fitted the same day as extractions, so you're never without teeth while you heal

Implant-Retained Dentures

For patients who want a more secure solution, implant-retained dentures are anchored directly to dental implants. There's no slipping or shifting, and most patients find they can eat, speak, and smile without thinking twice about their dentures.

For complex implant-retained denture cases, Core Dental Bayside patients can be referred to the Collins Street Specialist Centre within the Core Dental Group specialist network for specialist prosthodontic care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I be able to eat normally with my new dentures? Most patients adapt to eating comfortably with dentures over time, though softer foods are a sensible starting point. Implant-retained dentures come closest to the experience of natural teeth.

How long do dentures last before needing replacement? Most dentures last 5 to 7 years. Your jawbone and gum tissue change shape gradually, which affects how well the denture fits, so a replacement or reline becomes necessary. Regular check-ups help keep track of the fit before it becomes a problem.

Does health insurance cover dentures? Most private health insurance policies with major dental cover include a rebate toward dentures. HICAPS on-the-spot claiming is available at Core Dental Bayside for eligible funds.

Are immediate dentures a good option? Immediate dentures mean you leave the chair with teeth on the same day as your extractions, which matters to most people. They do need more adjustment visits as healing progresses, and a conventional denture made after full healing will generally fit better long-term. Your dentist will talk through which approach makes sense for your situation.
