Full Dentures in Hobart
We provide full and partial dentures, repairs and relining for patients in and around Hobart — focused on comfort, function and results that support your long-term oral health.
Starting Fresh With Dentures
Eating shouldn’t feel like a careful exercise, and speaking shouldn’t come with hesitation — that’s often where full dentures make a real difference. At Smiles On Hobart, we provide dentures for Hobart patients who are ready to regain comfort and function in a way that feels natural.
Every set is shaped around how your mouth sits now, not how it used to be, which helps avoid that bulky or loose feeling people worry about. We look at bite, balance and facial support as a whole, so your dentures work with you throughout the day.
The idea of having dentures may bring to mind uncomfortable, rigid pieces of prosthetic that can look unnatural when you smile or open your mouth. However, with technology today, a number of options are available that look and feel just like natural teeth. We also offer:

What Makes Us Different
If you'd like to learn more about our dentures and if they’re suitable for you, you're welcome to schedule an initial dental consultation with us. Our friendly team will assess the condition of your teeth and make a recommendation on which kind of dentures would be right for you.
To ensure your dentures fit perfectly, we'll take impressions of your teeth, from which we’ll prepare a prototype and then the final product, custom-made to fit your mouth.
We understand that it takes time to adjust to new dentures, and our team is on hand to provide quality maintenance and repair services to ensure you always feel comfortable and at your best. A small adjustment can often bring things back to where they should be, making a noticeable difference in comfort.

FAQ
What are dentures?
A denture is an appliance that replaces teeth. You can remove it to clean it. There are some denture types (such as implant-retained dentures) that cannot be removed.
What steps are involved in getting a denture?
Before any denture treatment is undertaken, it is recommended that you have a thorough dental check-up. If you are having full dentures, it will involve an examination of the mouth and an assessment of the health of the gums.
If you are having a partial denture, this check-up will include a full examination of your teeth, gums and the other soft tissues of your mouth. At this check-up, radiographs may be taken to ensure the teeth are healthy and strong enough to help support a denture.
Remember, the only oral practitioner who has the training and is legally able to undertake such a thorough check-up is your local dentist.
After this, it’s time to return to us to start the process of getting your dentures.
How long will I have to go without any teeth?
Some removable dentures are made to be inserted immediately after the removal of a tooth or some teeth. These types of removable dentures are commonly termed ‘immediate dentures’.
They can be constructed to replace only one tooth or many teeth. Your local dentist can undertake all the required stages involved in immediate dentures. This will mean that one person will oversee the whole treatment.
How often should I have my dentures checked?
If you currently wear removable dentures of any kind, it is advisable that you have these checked regularly. It is advised that if you have any remaining natural teeth you should have these and your dentures reviewed every six months or as directed by your dentist.
If you have no natural teeth and wear removable full dentures, your dentures should be reviewed at least every two years.
How long does it usually take to get used to full dentures?
Adjusting to full dentures can take a few weeks, though this varies from person to person. Early on, they may feel unfamiliar or slightly bulky, and speaking or eating can take a bit more effort.
Most people notice gradual improvement as their mouth adapts, especially with consistent wear. Practising reading aloud can help with speech, while starting with softer foods makes eating easier.
Minor irritation or pressure spots can occur during this time, which is why follow-up adjustments are important. With patience and the right fit, dentures usually become far more comfortable and easier to manage.
Will dentures change the shape of my face?
Dentures can actually help support facial structure, particularly in areas where tooth loss has caused a sunken appearance. By restoring volume in the cheeks and lips, they often create a more balanced and natural look.
The design plays a big role here — tooth positioning, gum height and overall shape all influence the final appearance. Poorly fitted dentures can have the opposite effect, which is why careful planning matters.
When made thoughtfully, dentures don’t just replace teeth, they help maintain the natural proportions of your face in a subtle and effective way.
Can I sleep with my dentures in?
While it’s possible to sleep with dentures in, it’s generally recommended to remove them overnight. This gives your gums a chance to rest and reduces the risk of irritation or infection.
Leaving dentures in constantly can also affect how well they fit over time, especially if your gums become inflamed. Taking them out at night allows for proper cleaning and helps maintain oral health.
There may be short periods where wearing them overnight is advised, such as immediately after fitting, but long term, regular removal is considered the better approach for comfort and hygiene.
