Core Dental Group Dentures – Custom-Fitted Dentures at Core Dental Berwick

Losing teeth affects more than your smile. It changes how you eat, how you speak, and how you feel about yourself day to day. At Core Dental Group's Berwick location, an on-site Dental Prosthetist provides custom-fitted dentures designed to restore both confidence and function.

On-site Dental Prosthetist

Alessio Pecorella, our on-site Dental Prosthetist, provides specialist denture services at Core Dental Berwick. Berwick is one of our most comprehensive locations for denture care, with extended appointment slots so patients are never rushed through the fitting process.

Because Alessio works on-site, your dentures are designed, fitted, and adjusted here — no referral to a separate clinic required. Your dentist and prosthetist collaborate directly to make sure your dentures work alongside your overall oral health and any remaining natural teeth.

Full dentures

Full dentures replace all teeth in the upper arch, lower arch, or both. We offer:

• Conventional full dentures — fitted once the gums have fully healed after extractions, typically 8–12 weeks
• Immediate dentures — placed on the same day as your extractions so you're never without teeth, then adjusted as your gums heal

Full dentures are made from high-quality materials chosen to match your natural skin tone and facial structure. Multiple appointments are included to get the fit and comfort right.

Partial dentures

If you still have some natural teeth, a partial denture fills the gaps. Options include:

• Acrylic partial dentures — affordable and easy to adjust as your mouth changes over time
• Cobalt-chrome (metal framework) dentures — thinner, stronger, and more durable; the preferred long-term option for most partial denture wearers
• Flexible resin dentures — a comfortable interim choice

Implant-retained dentures

For patients who want a denture that stays firmly in place, implant-retained dentures anchor to dental implants for superior stability. Slippage is virtually eliminated, and most patients find they can eat much more freely as a result.

Core Dental Berwick has been serving the local community for over 10 years, making it one of our most experienced practices for restorative dentistry. Treatment chairs are equipped with Netflix and warm blankets, so even lengthy denture appointments are comfortable.

Caring for your dentures

Your prosthetist will walk you through aftercare in detail. The key points:

• Remove and rinse dentures after every meal
• Brush daily with a soft denture brush and a non-abrasive cleaner
• Soak overnight in water or a denture-soaking solution
• Keep up with regular check-ups — your gums and remaining teeth still need monitoring
• Plan to replace dentures every five to seven years, as your jaw shape changes gradually over time

Payright interest-free payment plans

Dentures are a real investment in your quality of life. Payright interest-free plans let you spread the cost over up to 30 months with no interest, so the full cost doesn't have to land all at once.

HICAPS on-site

We have HICAPS on-site at Core Dental Berwick for immediate health fund claiming at the time of your appointment.
