Core Dental Group – Dentures at Caroline Springs

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

On-site Dental Prosthetist

Ahmed Saoud has worked in the field for over 20 years, first as a dental technician and then as a clinical prosthetist. That combination matters — understanding how dentures are built, not just how they're fitted, makes a real difference to the final result. Ahmed also works at the Epping and Wyndham practices.

Because he's based on-site, your dentures are designed, fitted, and adjusted here. No referrals to a separate clinic, no coordinating between providers. Your dentist and prosthetist work together from the start, so your dentures are planned around your overall oral health and any remaining natural teeth.

Full dentures

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

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

Materials are chosen to match your natural skin tone and facial structure, and multiple fitting appointments are included to get the fit right.

Partial dentures

If you still have some natural teeth, a partial denture fills the gaps. Three options are available:

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

Implant-retained dentures

For patients who want a denture that stays firmly in place, implant-retained dentures anchor to dental implants placed at the practice. Slippage is virtually eliminated, and most patients find they can eat more freely as a result. Digital scanning is available for complex cases as part of the planning process.

Caring for your dentures

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

• 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 any 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 significant investment. Payright interest-free payment plans let you spread the cost over up to 30 months with no interest, so the financial side doesn't have to be a barrier.

HICAPS on-site

Health fund claims are processed on the spot at the time of your appointment — no paperwork to chase up later.

Denture consultations are available in Arabic, Bengali, and Farsi — which matters when you're discussing something as personal as tooth replacement.
