Frequently Asked Questions
[ 01 ]
Do I need a referral?
No, you do not need a referral from a general dentist. As a registered Dental Prosthetist, you can book an appointment directly with me for your consultation, fitting, and all ongoing denture care.
[ 02 ]
Can you fix broken dentures on the same day?
Yes! Because we have our own fully equipped on-site laboratory right here in Ararat, we can complete most denture repairs and relines on the same day, getting your smile back as quickly as possible.
[ 03 ]
How do I know if I need a reline?
If your dentures are starting to feel loose, slipping when you eat or speak, or causing new sore spots, it is likely time for a reline. Your gums naturally change shape over time, and a reline updates the fitting surface of your denture to match your mouth perfectly again.
[ 04 ]
How long does it take to get new dentures made?
Creating custom, high-quality dentures usually requires a few appointments spread over a couple of weeks to ensure the perfect fit, bite, and appearance. During your initial consultation, we will map out a timeline tailored specifically to your treatment plan.
