Dentures in Melbourne CBD
Missing several teeth, or wearing a denture that no longer sits the way it used to? QV Dental provides custom dentures and denture repairs from our practice on Level 3 of Medical One at QV, directly opposite Melbourne Central Station, helping patients across Melbourne CBD restore both the appearance and function of their smile. Tooth loss can happen at any age and for many reasons, and whether you need a full replacement, a partial denture, or a repair to an existing set, our team focuses on getting the fit right so your dentures feel secure and comfortable day to day. Melbourne CBD (postcode 3000) is a fast-moving catchment over 65% of local residents are aged in their 20s and early 30s, and single-person and group households make up the majority of local homes* so we know dentures often need to fit around a packed weekly schedule rather than a quiet one.
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are custom-made, removable dental appliances that replace missing teeth, helping restore your smile’s appearance and function. Whether you’ve lost a few teeth or need a complete replacement, they offer a practical and dependable option for many patients. At QV Dental, we create custom-made dentures tailored to your individual needs, drawing on principles of cosmetic and restorative dentistry to aim for a natural appearance, comfortable fit and improved oral function.
For many patients, dentures aren’t just about appearance. Being able to chew and speak comfortably again has a real impact on everyday life from enjoying a meal to feeling at ease speaking in meetings or social settings.

Why Choose QV Dental for Your Dental Implants
QV Dental has served Melbourne CBD for more than 20 years, offering comprehensive general, preventative, cosmetic and restorative dental care with modern digital technology, led by Practice Principal Dr Axel Ecke. Our custom dentures are provided by dentists including Dr Jennifer Louise Nguyen, whose focus includes restorative and cosmetic dentistry and dentures.
Melbourne CBD is also a genuinely multicultural catchment, around 67% of local households speak a language other than English at home* and QV Dental offers multilingual care to help patients feel understood, including Cantonese (Dr Jennifer Lo speaks English and Cantonese), with Farsi/Dari and Urdu/Hindi also available across the practice.
We also know denture concerns don’t always surface neatly during the working week, which is why we’re open Monday to Friday 8:00am–5:00pm and Saturday 9:00am–4:00pm (closed Sundays) Saturday hours being something few other CBD practices offer. Our location directly opposite Melbourne Central Station also makes us straightforward to reach if you need an existing set looked at sooner rather than later.
Our Dental Implant Process
Step One
Consultation and Impressions:
Our team assesses your oral health during a check-up, using x-rays to check for any signs of gum disease or the need for extractions, discusses your needs, and recommends the most suitable denture type. We then take precise measurements and impressions of your gums and jaw to help ensure an accurate fit.
Step Two
Trial and Final Fitting:
We test a trial version for comfort and function, making any necessary adjustments, before crafting your custom dentures and fitting them for a natural appearance.
Step Three
Follow-Up Care:
We provide guidance on cleaning and maintenance and schedule follow-up visits for any adjustments or repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get used to wearing dentures?
Most patients need some time to adjust to speaking and eating with new dentures. Your dentist will guide you through the adjustment period and make any adjustments needed along the way.
Can my existing dentures be repaired instead of replaced?
In many cases, yes. Our team can assess whether a repair or reline is suitable, or whether a new set would serve you better, depending on the extent of the damage and the age of your current dentures.
Do you offer Saturday appointments for denture fittings and repairs?
Yes, we’re open Saturdays 9:00am–4:00pm in addition to Monday to Friday 8:00am–5:00pm. (We’re closed Sundays.)
How do I get to your practice by public transport?
We’re on Level 3 of Medical One at QV, 292 Swanston Street, directly opposite Melbourne Central Station.
Will my private health extras help with the cost of dentures?
Many patients use private health extras cover towards dentures, though the amount depends on your level of cover and the type of denture. We’re happy to provide an estimate before treatment begins.
