Whether you’re looking for full dentures, partial dentures or implant-supported dentures in Armidale, NSW, the first step is an exam with Dr Nyepetsi.
The Denture, Partial Denture and Implant-Supported Denture Process in Armidale
During your initial exam, Dr Nyepetsi provides an exam, x-rays if needed, and he’ll discuss dentures, partial dentures and implant-supported dentures with you. You can also ask questions and inquire about other tooth replacement options as well, including dental implants and crown and bridges in Armidale.
If you’re a good candidate for dentures, a member of our team takes an impression of your smile. The resulting model is used to create your denture, partial denture or implant-supported denture.
Dr Nyepetsi relies on quality materials, and his attention to detail means fitting you with aesthetically-appealing dentures that also fit and function predictably.
Removable Dentures and Partial Dentures in Armidale, NSW
Full dentures are removable plates or arches of restoration teeth. They stay in place through suction and saliva. You can remove full dentures when sleeping and for cleaning.
Partial dentures are similar to full dentures, but the customised arch holds restoration teeth that only fill in the gaps where teeth are missing. Partial dentures, secured with clips, rely on surrounding teeth for support, helping to keep them in place.
When your dentures are ready, Dr Nyepetsi will make adjustments to be sure your dentures fit and function optimally.
Implant-Supported Dentures in Armidale, NSW
Implant-supported dentures rely on four to six dental implants to lock them in place. A dental implant is a slight anchor post implanted in your jaw. It is thin but durable. Implant-supported dentures are not removable.
In some cases, patients opt for an implant-supported lower denture
or partial, for example. Dr Nyepetsi may make recommendations based on the unique contours of your gums and the condition of your jawbone.
Implant-supported dentures have advantages including:
- Helping prevent jawbone shrinkage—may make your denture fit loosely over time
- Prevent slippage—which can happen with dentures eventually because of natural jawbone depletion
- No need for realigns for fit or denture adhesives
- Provides a longer-lasting tooth replacement—dental implants can last for decades with proper care.

Full dentures and partial dentures serve different purposes based on the extent of tooth loss. Full dentures in Armidale, NSW are designed for individuals who have lost all their teeth in either the upper or lower jaw, or both. These dentures consist of a complete set of artificial teeth attached to a gum-colored acrylic base that sits directly on the gums. Full dentures help restore the ability to chew and speak properly, and they also support facial muscles, preventing the sunken appearance that can occur with total tooth loss.
Partial dentures, on the other hand, are suitable for those who still have some natural teeth remaining. These dentures consist of replacement teeth attached to a metal or acrylic base, which is designed to fit around the existing teeth. Partial dentures not only fill in the gaps left by missing teeth but also help prevent the remaining teeth from shifting out of position. This helps maintain proper bite alignment and overall oral health.
Choosing between full and partial dentures depends on your specific needs and the condition of your remaining teeth. At Markham Street Dental, we provide personalized consultations to determine the best solution for your dental health.

Full dentures are removable prosthesis that only sits on top of the bone and gum. Following tooth loss, the bone shrinks and continues to do so throughout life. This in turn cause the denture to become loose.
The top full denture is usually secure as there is suction created between the denture and the roof of the mouth hence it does not move as much during eating and speaking. However, the bottom full denture is a different ...
