Dentures at Core Dental Epping product guide

Core Dental Group – Custom Dentures at Epping

Losing teeth affects more than your smile. It changes how you eat, how you speak, and how comfortable you feel in your own skin. At Core Dental Group's Epping practice, our on-site Dental Prosthetist provides custom-fitted dentures designed to get you functioning and feeling like yourself again.

On-site Dental Prosthetist

Ahmed Saoud has been working in the industry for over 20 years, first as a dental technician and then as a prosthetist. That dual background matters: he understands how dentures are made as well as how they should fit and feel. He works on-site at Epping, so your dentures are designed, fitted, and adjusted here, without sending you to a separate clinic. Your dentist and prosthetist work together, which means your dentures are considered alongside your overall oral health and any remaining natural teeth from the start.

Full Dentures

Full dentures replace all teeth in the upper arch, lower arch, or both. There are two approaches:

• Conventional full dentures are fitted once the gums have fully healed after extractions, typically around 8–12 weeks.
• Immediate dentures are placed on the same day as your extractions, so you are never without teeth. They are adjusted as your gums heal and change shape.

Full dentures are made from high-quality materials selected to match your natural skin tone and facial structure. Multiple fitting 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. The main options are:

• 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 choice for long-term partial denture wearers
• Flexible resin dentures – a comfortable option when you need something interim

Implant-Retained Dentures

For patients who want a denture that stays put, implant-retained dentures anchor directly to dental implants. This virtually eliminates slippage and gives you far more freedom when eating.

Core Dental Group Epping is open until 6:00 pm Monday to Friday, which makes fitting and adjustment appointments workable for people with standard office hours. The practice is about 10 minutes' walk from Epping Station.

Caring for Your Dentures

Your prosthetist will walk you through aftercare specific to your dentures. The general routine:

• 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 for replacement every five to seven years as your jaw shape gradually changes

Payright Interest-Free Payment Plans

Dentures are a real investment, and the cost can feel daunting upfront. Payright interest-free payment plans let you spread the cost over up to 30 months with no interest, so treatment doesn't have to wait.

HICAPS On-Site

HICAPS is available at Core Dental Group Epping, so you can claim from your health fund on the day of your appointment.
