What Are Dentures?
- Dentures are removable prosthetic appliances tailored to replace multiple missing teeth or a full arch.
- They are made using modern techniques and materials to closely mimic natural teeth and gum tissue.
- Each denture is individually designed to support your lips and cheeks, helping maintain facial shape where teeth and bone have been lost.
- Our Lidums Dental Denture and Elite Denture Systems focus on precision fit and stability, reducing rubbing, looseness and sore spots.
- Options include traditional dentures as well as dentures that can be combined with dental implants for extra grip and comfort.
- Well-constructed dentures help you chew more effectively, speak clearly and smile more freely in social and everyday situations.
When and Why You Might Need Dentures
When you need dentures
- Multiple missing teeth: When several or all teeth are missing, dentures can restore function and appearance in a predictable, affordable way.
- Unstable or loose existing dentures: If your current dentures move, rub or feel uncomfortable, it may be time to review a more advanced denture solution.
- Jaw bone changes over time: Ongoing bone shrinkage after tooth loss can make older dentures less supportive, causing them to drop or tilt.
- Facial support concerns: Loss of teeth and bone can let the lips and cheeks collapse inwards. Dentures are often needed to support facial shape again.

Restore Function With False Teeth Adelaide
Whatever your reason for losing a tooth, False Teeth Adelaide can restore your lost tooth/teeth so that they look natural. Traditional dental restorative use methods such as dentures and bridgework. These options restore some function of the original teeth, but they do so at the cost of the surrounding teeth. However, advanced technology has improved the dental industry. Currently, dental implants are the most effective restorative treatment options. These ‘false teeth’ will never decay or require a root canal treatment.
At Lidums Dental, we are committed to meeting your dental needs. Dental implants are small screws placed into the bone. Our false teeth are reliable, strong, and they restore the function and comfort of your original teeth. With the proper care, our false teeth can last a lifetime. The false teeth Adelaide can stop shrinkage of the underlying jaw bone to provide gum and facial support.

Dentures FAQs
How long does it take to get used to new dentures?
Adjustment takes time and varies from person to person. Most patients find the first few weeks involve some awareness of the appliance, minor changes to speech, and occasional soreness as the gums adapt to the new pressure. This is normal. Within 4–8 weeks, most people find eating and speaking feel significantly more natural. Review appointments during this period are important — adjustments to the fit and bite are a standard part of the process, not a sign that something has gone wrong.
How do I clean and care for my dentures properly?
Dentures should be removed at night to give the gum tissue time to rest, and cleaned daily with a soft denture brush and a non-abrasive denture cleaner — not regular toothpaste, which can scratch the surface over time. They should be stored in water or a denture solution when not worn to prevent warping. The gums and any remaining natural teeth should still be cleaned daily. Regular dental reviews allow us to check the denture fit and monitor the health of the underlying gum and bone.
Why do dentures become loose over time, and what can be done about it?
After teeth are lost, the jawbone gradually shrinks because it no longer receives the stimulation from tooth roots. This bone resorption changes the shape of the ridge the denture sits on, causing it to fit less securely over time. Relining (reshaping the fitting surface of the denture to match the changed ridge) can restore fit without needing a completely new denture. In cases of significant bone loss, implant-supported dentures can provide a much more stable long-term solution by anchoring directly to the bone.
How long do cosmetic dental results last?
Well-fitting dentures allow most people to eat a wide and varied diet, though chewing function with dentures is generally less efficient than with natural teeth or implants. During the initial adjustment period, softer foods are recommended. Once settled, most patients manage most foods comfortably. Hard, sticky, or extremely chewy foods, like whole apples, toffee, or very crusty bread, can dislodge or stress the denture and are worth approaching with care. Implant-supported dentures provide considerably better chewing force and stability if dietary freedom is a priority.
What is the difference between the Lidums Denture System and a standard denture?
Standard dentures are generally made to a conventional specification. The Lidums Denture System is a higher-specification approach that prioritises precision fit, bite stability, and aesthetic customisation, including careful attention to tooth shape, shade, and how the denture supports your facial features and lip profile. This level of detail matters most for patients who want a result that looks and feels as close to natural as possible, or who have previously struggled with ill-fitting conventional dentures.
At what point should I consider implants instead of dentures?
If you find yourself avoiding social situations, limiting your diet, or constantly managing denture movement or soreness, implant-supported options are worth discussing seriously. Implants provide a level of stability and confidence that conventional dentures can’t replicate, and they also help slow the ongoing bone loss that occurs with denture-only solutions. At Lidums Dental, denture planning can be done with future implant options in mind, so if implants become appropriate later, the pathway is already considered.
