Dentures in Brighton, Melbourne
As a trusted provider of Brighton dentures, our dentists at Lifestyle Smiles offer custom-fitted solutions for patients across the Bayside area. Whether you’re
missing one tooth or needing a complete replacement, dentures remain one of the most accessible and cost-effective solutions available.
Dentures may be used as a short-term solution while you plan a more permanent treatment, or as a long-term option – particularly when implants aren’t suitable. We’ll guide you through every option during your consultation.
What are Dentures?
Dentures are specially designed, removable dental prostheses that have been around for many decades as a replacement option for missing teeth. They are made from acrylic or silicone which is fitted to the shape of the patients’ gums and jaw and acts as a gum-coloured structural base for the artificial teeth which are embedded into it.
These false teeth can sit on your gums without any support, they can have clips that secure over your own remaining teeth, or they can clip onto dental implants for extra anchorage.
Dentures are usually uncomfortable to wear because they are big and bulky, and a lot of people struggle to eat properly while wearing them. For this reason, we recommend dentures as a temporary treatment and suggest patient’s consider dental implants of All on 4 Plus for a more comfortable, permanent solution to replace missing teeth.

During your consultation at our Brighton dentures clinic, Dr. Warren Antonoff will assess your oral health, discuss your lifestyle needs and budget, and recommend the most suitable type of denture for you.
Removable Dentures
Fixed Partial Dentures
Also known as a dental bridge, these provide a permanent solution to the replacement of one or more missing teeth. They consist of a ‘unit’ (usually of 3 teeth) where the two corner dental crowns take support from the adjacent teeth to replace the missing tooth space, which is substituted with an artificial tooth known as a ‘pontic.’
Implant Supported Bridge
These are the most comfortable and long lasting dentures, often used as an alternative to a fixed implant solution such as All on 4 Plus or an implant bridge. They allow you to eat an apple or a steak and function normally, without having to worry about your dentures falling out when you sneeze or talk.
