About my Denture Clinic

Word of Mouth denture clinic is a solo practise, owned and operated by Mick Fairlie.

Mick is focused exclusively on his patients and makes dentures for his patients only, and does not supply anything to other dentists or health services.

Mick began his dental career in Manly NSW in 1972, graduated top of state in 1976, joined the Dental Clinic Train travelling through outback NSW for a year, then worked with two Sydney dentists providing all their dentures, crowns, bridges and orthodontic work for two years.

Travelling overseas to further his training, he worked in several high-end laboratories in England, Ireland, and Holland, broadening his understanding of their materials and techniques. His work was displayed at the European Dental Congress held at Earls Court, London in 1982.

Returning to Australia in 1984, he established his own dental laboratory, eventually growing that business to more than a dozen staff members. During that time, he was chosen by the peak industry body to develop a new TAFE curriculum to train dental technicians.

After 3 more years study, he graduated as a Dental Prosthetist in 1990, and began seeing his own patients. This aspect of his practise grew, eventually seeing him move to Veronica Street, Cardiff in 2010.

After more than 50 years in the dental industry, he applies that knowledge and experience to each patient, providing options and guidance in choice of materials, techniques and aesthetic outcome.

In every instance, no denture is finished until the patient has given their complete approval.

    What are your Denture options?

    Full or complete dentures

    Full dentures can help to restore the ability to eat, speak and smile. As there are no natural teeth left to attach the dentures to, the only means to stabilize the denture is the cheeks and tongue. This, combined with the amount of bone remaining in the jaw, and how the patient wants to look, gives a good indication of the probable treatment outcome.

    Partial dentures

    If you have all your natural teeth, the loss of a single tooth may seem unimportant, particularly a back tooth, as you have so many remaining. You may not notice the inevitable changes that start, even for years. An adult usually has 28 teeth, surrounded by shock absorbing ligaments, firmly attached to jawbone. Opposing these are the muscles of your face and neck, which can generate forces of over 120 kilograms of pressure.

    With the loss of even 1 tooth, all the remaining teeth have to now carry the load, but because there is fewer to do so, the force on each tooth increases. With every further tooth loss, so the force on the remaining teeth is multiplied, inevitably leading to failure, and another lost tooth.

    A partial denture can help to restore your appearance quite easily, but just as important is the stabilizing affect of replacing lost back teeth in order to accept and direct some of the extreme chewing force on to the denture, and away from the remaining teeth.

    A partial denture is a replaceable item, but your natural teeth are not. They are irreplaceable, and even implants, the pinnacle of restorative dentistry, are a pale weak substitute for a healthy tooth.

    By way of brutal comparison, your 28 natural teeth you have for free, but compared to 28 implants at $5000 each, this gives your natural teeth an asset value of $140,000, which can be protected for life with 3 minutes per day cleaning.

    Crowns and Bridges

    An existing tooth that has been damaged may be restored with a crown, which is cemented over the tooth after it has been prepared (reduced in size) to accept the crown.

    A bridge is multiple crowns fused together to span a gap caused by tooth loss.

    Implants are titanium screws that are inserted into the jawbone, where they bond to bone cells, and eventually become fused to the bone. These can serve as anchor points for dentures, crowns, and bridges.
