  "content": "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.\n\n**On-Site Dental Prosthetist**\n\nAlessio 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.\n\nHaving 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.\n\n**Full Dentures**\n\nFull dentures replace all teeth in the upper arch, lower arch, or both. We offer:\n\n- **Conventional full dentures** - fitted once the gums have fully healed following extractions (typically 8-12 weeks)\n- **Immediate dentures** - placed on the same day as your extractions so you are never without teeth; adjusted as your gums heal\n\nFull 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.\n\n**Partial Dentures**\n\nIf you have some remaining natural teeth, a partial denture fills the gaps. Options include:\n\n- **Acrylic partial dentures** - affordable and adjustable as your mouth changes\n- **Cobalt-chrome (metal framework) dentures** - thinner, stronger, and more durable; the premium option for long-term partial denture wearers\n- **Flexible resin dentures** - a comfortable, interim option\n\n**Implant-Retained Dentures**\n\nFor 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.\n\nOur 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.\n\n**Caring for Your Dentures**\n\nYour prosthetist will provide detailed aftercare instructions. Key points include:\n\n- Remove and rinse dentures after every meal\n- Brush dentures daily with a soft denture brush and non-abrasive cleaner\n- Soak dentures overnight in water or a denture-soaking solution\n- Attend regular check-up appointments - your gums and remaining teeth still need monitoring\n- Dentures typically require replacement every five to seven years as your jaw shape changes\n\n**Payright Interest-Free Payment Plans**\n\nDentures 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.\n\n**HICAPS On-Site**\n\nWe have HICAPS on-site at Core Dental Carrum Downs for immediate health fund claiming at the time of your appointment.\n\n**Book a Denture Consultation**\n\nWhether you need new dentures, a reline, a repair, or are considering implant-retained dentures, our team is here to help.
