Lost your dentures? We can help.
Losing or destroying your dentures is one of life's more stressful moments. Whether they went overboard at sea, snapped in two, or the dog got to them first — being without your teeth is not something you can put off dealing with.
At Northern Rivers Denture Clinic in Tweed Heads, we offer an urgent denture replacement service to get you back to normal as quickly as possible. With our on-site laboratory, we can manufacture new acrylic or flexible nylon dentures in approximately one week.
Not sure if you need a repair or a full replacement? We can help you work that out too — call us and we'll talk you through it.

What type of denture would you like?
The procedure for replacing your dentures
You will need four appointments over a week, during which you will have impressions taken, models made and ‘try-ins’ done for fit and appearance. On the final appointment you will take possession of your new denture.
Cost of emergency dentures
‘So what will this cost me?’ you may ask. ‘Not the earth’ is the answer. We add a small percentage to the regular cost of a denture to cover extra time and effort made to speed up the manufacturing process.

Payment options
One doesn’t usually plan for accidents like lost or destroyed dentures. And not everyone has the ready cash to pay for new dentures. However, it’s worth contacting your insurer to see if your household insurance can help out. Some insurance companies allow dentures to be listed as special items on house and content insurance.
Another option to explore if you don’t have the cash up front, is getting access to your superannuation. Sometimes payments can be made for health-related emergencies.
There are also no-interest payment plans available for emergencies like these.
Worth considering
One never knows what is around the corner. For that reason, perhaps you might consider getting a spare set of dentures made. Who knows, next time you might lose your dentures right before a job interview, or horror! - on the eve of a major life event like your wedding. As we said, accidents always happen at the most inopportune times.
