Dental Exam
A comprehensive dental exam will be performed by your dentist at your initial dental visit. At regular check-up exams, your dentist and hygienist will include the following:

Examination of diagnostic x-rays (radiographs): Essential for detection of decay, tumors, cysts, and bone loss. X-rays also help determine tooth and root positions.
Oral cancer screening: Check the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums for any signs of oral cancer.
Gum disease evaluation: Check the gums and bone around the teeth for any signs of periodontal disease.
Examination of tooth decay: All tooth surfaces will be checked for decay with special dental instruments.
Examination of existing restorations: Check current fillings, crowns, etc.

We also offer instructions for your oral care based on the results of your dental exam. Improvements to your daily routine and regular visits for a Scale & Polish can prevent signs of decay and gum disease and make a big difference to your oral hygiene and dental health.If you suffer of any health issue such as stress and depression click for more info here to get help.

Professional Dental Cleaning

A professional teeth cleaning is a procedure in which we use a variety of tools to help deep clean your gums and the surface of your teeth. First, we use an ultrasonic cleaner and a water sprayer to loosen and remove plaque and tartar from your teeth and gums. We then scrape additional plaque and tartar off your teeth by using a metal tool called a hand scraper. Finally, we brush your teeth with a rotary toothbrush and a gritty type of toothpaste that polishes and cleans your teeth. After doing this, we floss your teeth or give you a fluoride treatment to strengthen them.

There are plenty of fake teeth options available in Australia. The industry is growing rapidly as more patients begin seeking out the smile of their dreams!

There are, however, a few considerations to take into account before installing false teeth. You need to consider the various fake teeth options, your personal financial situation and budget, and whether you’d be a good candidate for fake teeth installation.

This article will cover fake teeth in Australia in-depth such as dental implants in Perth, go through a few options, the cost of false teeth, and what makes someone suitable for false teeth.

What Are Fake Teeth?

Fake teeth are engineered to act as a prosthesis for missing teeth. Many people refer to fake teeth as dentures in Perth. Fake or false teeth are usually made out of materials like metal, nylon, or acrylic. False teeth are typically installed to replace a single missing tooth, but they can even replace a full mouth of teeth if that’s what the patient needs.

Contrary to popular belief, fake teeth are not only installed for cosmetic reasons. They can help restore a patient’s ability to chew and eat properly, as well as help with general oral hygiene.

On top of all of that, getting a set of fake teeth will boost your self-confidence by giving you a radiant and beautiful smile!

What Are the Options for Fake Teeth?

Dental Implants

Dental implants do not refer to a set of false teeth, at least not on their own. The implants themselves are metal posts or anchors that are installed into the jawbone, beneath your gum line. They are simply the foundation onto which fake teeth can be mounted.

Implants fuse with your jawbone, which makes them a sturdy and near-permanent foundation for prosthetics like dentures, bridges, or single crowns. Once the replacement teeth are mounted onto your dental implants, they won’t shift around or slip out of your mouth.

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are most often installed to replace one or two missing teeth, but they can be used to replace up to four teeth. This makes the name perfect for the device, as it literally “bridges the gap” left by missing or knocked-out teeth.

There are three components that make up dental bridges:

Abutment teeth: Tiny connector posts that help support the dental bridge

Pontics: The actual false teeth used to replace the missing ones

Abutment crowns: Adjacent to the pontics, these crowns are placed on the abutment teeth.

Custom Traditional Dentures

Custom conventional dentures are personalised and individually made sets of false teeth. In other words, these are built to fit your mouth, and your mouth only. These tend to have a more natural appearance as they are specifically engineered to suit your oral anatomy and structure.

Since custom dentures are made to meet your needs, they are usually very comfortable and unintrusive. The precise fit of a set of personalised fake teeth also helps to minimise slippage and shifting within the mouth.

Full Dentures

Full or complete dentures are exactly what they sound like. They are used to replace all of your teeth (upper and lower jaw) all at once. These are designed to match the aesthetics of natural teeth as closely as possible.

Complete dentures are removable and are often custom-made using the methods mentioned above. This means that you can get a fully removable set of dentures that are designed to fit the contours and shapes of your jaw and gum line.

Partial Denture

When only a few of your teeth are missing and you’d like to replace them with artificial teeth, partial dentures are the way to go. These are designed to only replace certain sections of your smile while leaving the remaining teeth untouched.

Partial dentures are designed as fake teeth connected to a gum-coloured base, which is all held together by a metal framework. These can be either removable or fixed, depending on your specifications.

How Much Do Fake Teeth Cost in Australia?

The cost of dentures ( fake teeth ) will depend on the type of denture and dental clinic you choose. Here at Radiant Smiles, we offer a large variety of false teeth options. Have a look at our price list:

Fake Teeth Process

Initial Consultation

As mentioned above, the process of getting artificial teeth installed is highly personalised and unique. Each patient will have different requirements and specifications. With this in mind, all procedures begin by having an initial consultation with your dentist.

Here your dentist will examine your mouth and teeth, determine whether you need full or partial dentures, and make precise measurements to prepare for your customised treatment. They will also ask questions relating to your dental history and general dental health.

It’s essential that you find dentists who are experts in their trade, and who have experience and comprehensive training, like the team here at Radiant Smiles!

Treatment Planning

After your initial consultation, it’s time for a full examination of your teeth, jawbone, and gums, to begin planning your treatment. Your dental professional will take impressions of your mouth and X-rays to help plan where the fake teeth and/or implants will be installed.

Preparation of Teeth

Since each denture or set of fake teeth is tailor-made to meet the specifications of your mouth, the process of preparing fake teeth is quite detailed and complex.

Your dentist will use the impression/mould of your teeth to check for fit, shape, and even colour before making the dentures. Then using the mould, the dentist can begin to carve wax teeth to measure for fitment and size.

Dentures are usually made from acrylic resin, metal, zirconium, nylon, or, less often, porcelain. Once a precisely measured set of fake teeth has been engineered, it’s time for installation.

Placement of Fake Teeth with Dental Implants

If you and your dentist have opted for dental implants, they will be surgically inserted into your jawbone to function as the tooth’s root. Next, an abutment will be placed for the fake teeth to be installed onto. Once the abutment is connected to the dental implant, fake teeth can be placed according to your specific treatment plan.

Some patients can have their permanent dentures or visible fake teeth installed at the same time as their implants. However, it is also quite common for patients to get temporary fake teeth until the implants have fused with the bone and are ready for the permanent set of false teeth.

How to Maintain Your Fake Teeth?

Here are a few tips for keeping your removable fake teeth in good condition:

Brush your dentures daily: You should treat your dentures like real teeth. Brush them twice daily with a soft-bristle toothbrush and non-abrasive denture cleanser.
Clean your mouth after removing your dentures: If you have removable fake teeth, it’s important that you clean your mouth after taking them out. Be sure to clean your tongue, inner cheeks, and mouth roof.
Soak your dentures overnight: Nobody wants to put unclean fake teeth into their mouth every day. To avoid this, and keep your dentures clean, soak them in a glass of water or denture-soaking solution. Dentures need to stay moist in order to retain shape.
Rinse dentures directly after eating: Place your dentures under running water to help remove any food that remains after eating a meal.

Visit your dentist regularly: You should schedule regular appointments with your dentist to have your fake teeth professionally cleaned.

Are You a Good Candidate for Fake Teeth?

Dentures can help people who want to replace missing teeth. As such, the following candidates are perfect for a set of fake teeth.

Patients who are missing one tooth
Patients who are missing multiple teeth
Patients who are missing all of their teeth.

It is also important to note that if you have good gum and jawbone health, then you are a perfect candidate for fake teeth and dental implants. This is because good gum and bone health are essential for dental implant placement and installation.

FAQs about Fake Teeth

1. Can You Replace All Your Teeth With Fake Ones?

Yes! If you’re missing all of your teeth, you can opt for a complete or full denture treatment. This will provide you with an entirely new set of teeth, giving you the confidence to smile fully again.

You and your dentist will decide whether removable dentures, implant-retained dentures, or All-on-4 implants are the most suitable option for your set of new teeth.

2. What are the Best Fake Teeth to Get?

There are various types of false teeth that you can choose from. Each is good for different reasons:

Metal: Metal dentures are trusted for their durability and long-lasting nature. They are often not chosen because they are not as aesthetically pleasing as other options.
Acrylic: Acrylic dentures are perhaps the cheapest option, especially in comparison to porcelain. They may wear down a little bit faster than other options, but usually last between 5 and 8 years.
Porcelain: Porcelain provides excellent durability along with beautiful aesthetics. These teeth are much harder than acrylic, and they typically look a lot more like a natural set of teeth. They are one of the more expensive options.
Nylon: Nylon is different from the other options as it provides flexibility and softness that is unique to the material. These are well tolerated by patients with allergies to metals like titanium. They combine softness with durability and resistance to damage.
Zirconium: This ceramic material is incredibly strong and biocompatible. Moreover, unlike other materials, zirconium crowns do not transmit uncomfortable changes in temperature. Zirconium is also considered to be the most aesthetically pleasing material for replacing teeth.

3. How Long Do Fake Teeth Last?

According to Healthline, fake teeth will generally last anywhere between 15 and 20 years. The lifetime will vary depending on the material used, how seriously you take your fake teeth maintenance, and how often you visit your dentist for professional cleaning.

4. How Painful is Getting False Teeth?

As with any surgical procedure, getting dentures will cause discomfort and pain, even if it’s extremely mild. The process of getting implants installed may cause some pain in the jawbone and gums, and it is likely that you will feel some discomfort when you first start wearing your dentures.

There are ways to manage false teeth-related pain:

Keep your dentures and gums clean.
Remove your dentures when you sleep and soak them in water to retain shape.
Clean your dentures after eating to remove food debris.
Visit your dentist regularly.

After wearing your fake teeth for a good amount of time, they will stop feeling comfortable. You’ll stop noticing that you’re even wearing fake teeth once you’ve fully acclimated to them. For the most part, you’ll feel no pain when you wear correctly fitted dentures.

In certain cases where a tooth may be too damaged or too loose to be saved, extraction may be required.

Reasons for a tooth extraction

Decay has reached deep into the tooth
Infection has destroyed a large portion of the tooth or surrounding bone
There is not enough room for all the teeth in your mouth
To make room for teeth moved with orthodontic treatment

We will take an x-ray of the area to determine the best way to extract the tooth and the appropriate anesthetic technique required to ensure your comfort and care.

When your extraction is complete, we will give you guidance on what to do at home. It is important that you closely follow the post-extraction aftercare instructions to promote a healthy recovery.

Rest: Rest for a few hours following treatment and avoid strenuous excercise. Do not rinse for at least 24 hours.

Rinse: For several days following treatment, rinse your mouth gently after meals and before bed using a mouthwash made by dissolving ½ teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water. Hold the solution in your mouth for several minutes, discard and repeat 2-3 times.

Food: Avoid hot drinks, alcohol, hard or chewy foods. Choose cool drinks and soft or minced foods. Avoid direct contact with the open wound.

Bleeding: Should slight bleeding occur, sit upright with head and shoulders raised. Apply pressure using a small pad of gauze or clean linen clamped firmly between the jaws for 15 minutes – repeat if necessary. If bleeding persists please contact us.

Pain: Please take whatever pain relief you would usually take for a headache – except aspirin.

It is advisable to avoid smoking for 24 to 48 hours post treatment. To book an appointment, contact Radiant Smiles Dental Care on 93865616.

What are dentures and why might I need them repaired?

There are two types of dentures – complete and partial. Complete dentures are used when all of the teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain and prevents other teeth from shifting.

A complete set of teeth may be either “conventional” or “immediate.” A conventional type is made after the teeth have been removed and the gum tissue has healed, usually taking 4 to 6 weeks. During this time the patient will go without teeth. Immediate appliances are made in advance and immediately placed after the teeth are removed, thus preventing the patient from having to be without teeth during the healing process. Once the tissues shrink and heal, adjustments will have to be made.

Reasons why you may need our emergency repair service:

While dentures are very durable appliances and will usually last many years, you may find yourself seeking immediate help if they become damaged. This occurs mainly by dropping them, as the plate can crack or chip and teeth can sometimes even snap off. If you find yourself in this situation, our Perth denture repairs can make the experience less stressful for you by quickly repairing the issue. Please call our denture repair clinic if you have any concerns regarding your dentures. Our friendly and highly experienced prosthetist is more than willing to have a complimentary consultation with you and help you in the best way possible.

Is there an alternative solution?

Yes, dental implants can also be used to support permanently cemented bridges, eliminating the need for a denture. The cost is usually greater, but the implants and bridges more closely resemble the feel of real teeth. By the recent reports made by Twin Leaf Dentistry, dental implants are becoming the preferred alternative, but not everyone is a candidate for implants. Consult your dentist for advice.

Will they make me look different?

Dentures are made to closely resemble your natural teeth so there should be no noticeable change to your appearance. In fact, they may even improve your smile and fill out your facial appearance.

Tooth whitening (or bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment used to change the color of natural tooth enamel and is an ideal way to enhance the beauty of your smile.

Reasons for tooth whitening:

Fluorosis (excessive fluoridation during tooth development).
Normal wear of outer tooth layer.
Stained teeth due to medications, excessive tea or coffee consumption.

Which is better: at home or at the dentist?

The best option for you is really a matter of personal preference. You can choose to have the tooth whitening performed in-house at Radiant Smiles Dental Care or we can provide you with your own customised teeth whitening kits to be carried out at home.

FAQ

Is whitening safe?

Yes. Research and clinical studies indicate that whitening teeth under the supervision of a dentist is safe. Any tooth whitening product, is not recommended for children or pregnant women.

What are the risks of home kits and salon teeth whitening?

Some home kits don’t contain enough of the whitening product to be effective. More generally, if a dental professional is not doing the whitening, the mouthguard provided may not fit properly so some of the bleaching gel may leak out onto your gums and into your mouth, causing blistering and sensitivity.

Are there any side effects?

Sensitivity during treatment may occur with some patients. Tooth sensitivity may occur after treatment but this usually lasts for a few hours and with the help of your dentist this can be minimised.

Looking to straighten your teeth but only concerned about your upper teeth? You’re not alone! Many Aussies want to fix just their visible front teeth without committing to full orthodontic treatment.

Invisalign for top teeth only (called single-arch treatment) is absolutely possible for many patients. This targeted approach focuses exclusively on your upper arch, potentially saving you time and money while addressing the cosmetic issues that bother you most.

At Radiant Smiles Dental Care, we understand that everyone’s smile journey is unique. Let’s explore whether this streamlined approach could be your ticket to a more confident smile!

Key Takeaways

You can get Invisalign for only top teeth when your bottom teeth are already straight
Single-arch Invisalign costs less than traditional braces on both arches ($3,000-$4,500)
Treatment usually takes 6–12 months with clear aligners worn 20–22 hours daily
Not suitable for significant issues like overbite that require orthodontist intervention
A dentist will determine if treating only the top teeth is appropriate for your needs

What is Invisalign for Top Teeth Only?

Invisalign for top teeth only is a specialised orthodontic treatment that uses clear aligners exclusively on your upper teeth. This single arch approach targets visible alignment issues while leaving your lower teeth untreated. The process involves wearing a series of clear, removable trays for 20–22 hours daily, changing them every 1–2 weeks as teeth shift into their desired positions.

Unlike full Invisalign treatment that corrects both top and bottom teeth, top-teeth-only treatment focuses specifically on the teeth that show when you smile. Many patients considering Invisalign choose this option because it addresses their main cosmetic concerns without the additional time and expense of treating less visible areas.

The treatment works through the same proven technology—custom-designed aligners that gradually straighten your teeth through gentle, consistent pressure in a carefully planned sequence.

Am I a Good Candidate for Single-Arch Invisalign?

You’re a good candidate for single-arch Invisalign if you have mild to moderate alignment issues affecting just your upper teeth. Ideal candidates have a healthy bite (occlusion) with well-aligned bottom teeth. Your dental professional will need to confirm that adjusting only your top arch won’t create bite problems.

Perfect Candidates Include:

People with crooked front teeth but even lower teeth
Those who’ve had previous orthodontic treatment with slight relapse
Patients wanting straighter teeth in the smile zone only
Those who want to avoid metal braces but need top teeth straightening

This approach isn’t suitable for everyone, particularly those with significant issues like overbite or underbite. These conditions typically require treatment on both arches to ensure proper function and stability. A qualified dentist can evaluate if single-arch treatment is appropriate for your specific situation.

The clear aligner market in Australia was worth around USD $534 million in 2023, and experts think it will keep getting bigger really quickly – growing by nearly 29% every year until 2028.

What are the Benefits of Getting Invisalign for Just Your Top Teeth?

Invisalign for just your top teeth offers several advantages over full-mouth orthodontic treatment. The most immediate benefit is reduced cost compared to complete teeth straightening options, making straighter teeth more affordable. Treatment time is typically shorter, often 6 to 12 months versus 12 to 18+ months for full treatment.

Key Benefits:

No Painful Adjustments: Unlike metal braces, aligners cause minimal discomfort
Nearly Invisible: Clear aligners are virtually undetectable in social situations
Fewer Diet Restrictions: Remove your aligners to eat your favourite foods without worry
Easy to Clean: Simple maintenance supports good oral hygiene
Faster Results: See improvements sooner with focused treatment on visible teeth

Many patients appreciate that this targeted approach addresses what bothers them most, the visible teeth that show when you smile, without treating areas that don’t concern them.

What Limitations Should I Know About Single-Arch Treatment?

Single-arch Invisalign treatment has important limitations you should understand before starting your Invisalign journey. The biggest consideration is that changing only your upper arch could potentially affect how your top and bottom teeth fit together. Your upper and lower teeth function as a system, so moving one without the other requires careful planning.

This approach isn’t suitable for correcting significant bite problems. These functional issues typically require coordinated movement of both arches to resolve properly. Even if your bottom teeth look straight, your dentist or orthodontist must verify they function correctly with your upper teeth.

Some patients may experience temporary adjustment periods as their bite adapts to the new position of their upper teeth. In rare cases, additional treatment might be needed if unexpected changes occur during the process.

How does the Top-Teeth-Only Invisalign Process Work?

The Invisalign process for top teeth begins with a comprehensive consultation at Radiant Smiles Dental Care. During this visit, our dental team will examine your teeth, take digital scans, and determine if you qualify for this type of treatment. We’ll assess your bite carefully to ensure that treating only the top teeth won’t create functional problems.

Treatment Steps:

Initial Consultation: Complete evaluation including bite assessment
3D Treatment Planning: Custom digital mapping of how teeth may move
Aligner Creation: Custom trays made specifically for your upper arch
Regular Wear: 20–22 hours daily, with changes every 1–2 weeks
Progress Checks: Appointments to monitor how teeth shift
Completion: Final results and discussion of retention

Most patients complete their single-arch Invisalign treatment within 6–12 months, depending on complexity.

How much does Invisalign Top Teeth Only Cost?

Invisalign top teeth only cost is typically less than full treatment due to fewer aligners and shorter treatment time. At Radiant Smiles Dental Care, single-arch treatment generally ranges from $3,000 to $4,500, compared to $6,000 to $9,000 for aligners on both arches, but this can vary drastically from practice to practice.

The exact price depends on your specific orthodontic needs and how many aligners you’ll require. Factors that influence cost include the degree of correction needed, treatment duration, and any additional procedures required.

We offer flexible payment plans to make treatment more accessible, with options to spread payments over the course of your treatment. Some private health insurance plans may cover a portion of orthodontic treatment, though coverage varies significantly between providers.

Treatment Type	Average Cost	Typical Duration	Aligner Sets
Top Teeth Only	$3,000-$4,500, although some may cost $5,000+	6–12 months	10–20 sets
Full Invisalign	$6,000-$9,000	12-18+ months	20-30+ sets
Express (minor corrections)	$2,500-$3,500	3–6 months	5–10 sets

How do I Care for My Top-Teeth-Only Aligners?

Keeping your aligners clean requires consistent daily maintenance to ensure effectiveness and hygiene. Clean your Invisalign braces every morning and night by gently brushing them with a soft toothbrush and clear, unscented soap—never use toothpaste as it can scratch the plastic and create places for bacteria to hide.

Daily Care Routine:

Remove aligners when eating or drinking anything except water
Rinse mouth and trays before reinserting after meals
Store in protective case when not wearing them
Keep away from heat sources that could warp the plastic
Clean the storage case regularly to prevent bacteria growth

Following these simple care instructions will keep your Invisalign clear, odour-free, and working effectively throughout your treatment.

What Results Can I Expect from Top-Teeth-Only Treatment?

Top-teeth-only Invisalign delivers noticeable improvements in the appearance of your smile, especially in the visible area. Most patients see significant correction of crooked teeth, closure of small gaps, and improved alignment in their upper teeth after completing treatment.

The results are long-lasting when followed by proper retention. You’ll likely need to wear a brace at night indefinitely to maintain your new alignment, as teeth may shift throughout life.

Patients consistently report increased confidence in their smiles, with many saying they smile more freely in social situations and photos. While the lower arch remains unchanged, the improvement in the visible upper teeth often makes a dramatic difference in overall smile aesthetics.

FAQs on Can You Get Invisalign for Top Teeth Only?

Can treatment of just my top teeth affect my bite?

Yes, moving only your top teeth could potentially affect how your upper and lower teeth fit together. This is why a comprehensive evaluation is essential before starting treatment. Our dental team carefully assesses your current bite to ensure that single-arch treatment won’t create functional problems. In some cases, we might recommend full invisalign treatment instead if we identify potential bite issues.

How visible are the aligners when I’m wearing them?

Invisalign aligners are designed to be nearly invisible when worn. Made from clear, medical-grade plastic, they’re much less noticeable than traditional braces. Most people won’t notice you’re wearing them during normal conversation distances. They’re particularly discreet in video calls and photos, making them popular with professionals and anyone concerned about appearance during teeth straightening.

What happens if I’m not happy with the results?

At Radiant Smiles Dental Care, we’re committed to your satisfaction. If your teeth aren’t tracking properly during treatment, we’ll address the issue promptly, which might include taking new impressions and creating revised aligners. We include refinement aligners in our treatment packages if minor adjustments are needed at the end of your initial treatment. Our goal is your complete satisfaction with your smile with Invisalign.
