Prosthetic Services
At Legana Dental, our prosthetic dentistry services are designed to restore comfort, function, and protection to your smile. Whether you need a replacement for missing teeth, protection from grinding or sports injuries, or quick denture repairs, our experienced team provides customised solutions to suit your needs.
We understand that every patient’s lifestyle and oral health are different. That’s why our prosthetic treatments are carefully tailored to improve your quality of life—helping you chew, speak, and smile with confidence again.
Bruxism (Teeth Grinding & Clenching)
Bruxism—commonly known as teeth grinding or clenching—can lead to headaches, jaw pain, worn-down teeth, and even damage to dental restorations. Many patients don’t realise they grind their teeth, as it often happens during sleep.
At Legana Dental, we provide custom nightguards designed to protect your teeth from the effects of grinding and clenching. These comfortable, durable appliances create a barrier between your teeth, preventing wear and reducing pressure on the jaw. Addressing bruxism early helps protect your long-term oral health.
Dentures and Partial Dentures
Missing teeth can affect more than just your appearance—they can make it difficult to eat, speak, and smile confidently. Our full and partial dentures offer a reliable solution to restore function and aesthetics.
Partial dentures are designed to fill gaps when some natural teeth remain, blending seamlessly with your smile.
We use modern materials and techniques to craft dentures that are natural-looking, comfortable, and secure, giving you confidence in your day-to-day life.
Denture Repairs
Denture damage can happen unexpectedly, and when it does, timely repair is essential. Our clinic offers fast and reliable denture repair services to restore function and minimise disruption to your daily routine.
Whether it’s a chipped tooth, a crack, or a broken clasp, our experienced team will assess the damage and carry out the necessary repairs to bring your denture back to optimal condition.
While same-day repairs aren’t available, most cases are completed within two business days—so you can get back to smiling, eating, and speaking with confidence.
Everyday Sports Mouthguards
For active individuals, protecting your teeth is just as important as protecting the rest of your body. Our everyday sports mouthguards are ideal for children and adults participating in school or community-level sports.
Custom-made to fit your mouth comfortably, these mouthguards provide protection against knocks and impacts, reducing the risk of broken teeth, cuts, and soft tissue injuries. Unlike over-the-counter options, professional mouthguards are tailored to fit snugly and stay in place during activity.
Extreme Sports Mouthguards
For athletes involved in high-impact or professional sports, additional protection is essential. Our extreme sports mouthguards are designed with advanced materials to withstand more intense impact and provide maximum defence for your teeth and jaw.
Whether you’re playing contact sports, martial arts, or extreme activities, these customised mouthguards give you the confidence to perform at your best while staying fully protected.
Prosthetic Dentistry FAQs
What are the signs of teeth grinding?
Common signs include waking with jaw pain, headaches, tooth sensitivity, or noticing worn or chipped teeth. Many people only discover they grind their teeth when a dentist identifies the signs during a check-up.
Are dentures comfortable to wear?
Modern dentures are designed with comfort and fit in mind. While it may take a short adjustment period, most patients adapt quickly and find them an effective replacement for missing teeth.
How often should dentures be replaced?
On average, dentures last 5–7 years before needing replacement. Over time, changes in your mouth shape and natural wear can affect their fit, so regular dental check-ups are recommended.
Can you repair broken dentures on the same day?
While same-day repairs aren’t available, most denture repairs are completed within two business days
Do I really need a custom sports mouthguard?
Yes. Store-bought mouthguards often provide inadequate protection and a poor fit. A custom-made mouthguard is tailored to your teeth and mouth shape, offering superior comfort and protection.
What’s the difference between everyday and extreme sports mouthguards?
Everyday mouthguards are suitable for school, recreational, or lower-contact sports. Extreme sports mouthguards are made from reinforced materials for higher-impact activities, offering maximum durability and protection.
