Frequently asked questions
What is the best material for dentures?
Porcelain is the best material for dentures since it is extremely strong and durable. If you are looking for an affordable variant, the plastic or acrylic resin can also serve you well.
My dentures are uncomfortable. How do I improve the comfort of dentures?
It will take some time to get used to your dentures. You should use high-quality adhesives, and make sure you don’t damage them as that could compromise comfort and function. If you feel too uncomfortable, take the dentures off for a while. In case the denture issues persist, consult your dentist about the potential fit adjustments.
How can I pay for using your service?
Our establishment offers dental payment plans that allow you to split your payment to up to 24 months with no interest involved. Additionally, we accept MasterCard, cheques, Direct Debit, Hicaps, Humm, Afterpay, Eftpos, cash and government vouchers.
What should I do to maintain my teeth whiteness after a whitening treatment?
Optimal oral hygiene is crucial for keeping your teeth white after treatment. Make sure to brush your teeth twice and floss once daily. Use a whitening toothpaste and mouthwash to improve results. Additionally, avoid cigarettes, coffee, acidic and other food that could leave stains on your teeth.
How soon can I eat after filling?
You can eat right after you had a tooth filling treatment. However, you might want to avoid food that is hard to chew and could leave stains. It might take a day or more for your mouth to recover completely. That is why it is wise to take things slowly.
