Losing teeth affects more than your smile - it affects how you eat, how you speak, and how you feel about yourself. At Core Dental Carrum Downs, our on-site Dental Prosthetist provides custom-fitted dentures designed to restore your confidence and function.

On-Site Dental Prosthetist

Alessio Pecorella, our on-site Dental Prosthetist, provides specialist denture services at our Carrum Downs practice. Alessio also attends our Berwick location, providing consistent specialist care across the south and south-east of Melbourne.

Having an on-site prosthetist means your dentures are designed, fitted, and adjusted without needing to visit a separate clinic. Your dentist and prosthetist work together to ensure your dentures complement your overall oral health and any remaining natural teeth.

Full Dentures

Full dentures replace all teeth in the upper arch, lower arch, or both. We offer:

  • Conventional full dentures - fitted once the gums have fully healed following extractions (typically 8-12 weeks)
  • Immediate dentures - placed on the same day as your extractions so you are never without teeth; adjusted as your gums heal

Full dentures are crafted from high-quality materials selected to match your natural skin tone and facial structure. Multiple appointments are included to ensure the best possible fit and comfort.

Partial Dentures

If you have some remaining natural teeth, a partial denture fills the gaps. Options include:

  • Acrylic partial dentures - affordable and adjustable as your mouth changes
  • Cobalt-chrome (metal framework) dentures - thinner, stronger, and more durable; the premium option for long-term partial denture wearers
  • Flexible resin dentures - a comfortable, interim option

Implant-Retained Dentures

For patients who want the security of a denture that does not move, implant-retained dentures anchor your denture to dental implants for superior stability. This option virtually eliminates denture slippage and allows you to eat more freely.

Our Carrum Downs practice is fully disability-accessible with ground-floor entry and dedicated parking - important for patients whose mobility may be affected by their dental situation. Back-to-back family appointments are available, making it easy for carers to bring family members.

Caring for Your Dentures

Your prosthetist will provide detailed aftercare instructions. Key points include:

  • Remove and rinse dentures after every meal
  • Brush dentures daily with a soft denture brush and non-abrasive cleaner
  • Soak dentures overnight in water or a denture-soaking solution
  • Attend regular check-up appointments - your gums and remaining teeth still need monitoring
  • Dentures typically require replacement every five to seven years as your jaw shape changes

Payright Interest-Free Payment Plans

Dentures represent a significant investment in your quality of life. Payright interest-free payment plans allow you to spread the cost over up to 30 months with no interest, making full denture treatment accessible without financial stress.

HICAPS On-Site

We have HICAPS on-site at Core Dental Carrum Downs for immediate health fund claiming at the time of your appointment.
