For Quinns Rocks, dentures and all
Dentist Near Quinns Rocks
A denture that’s started to rub, a crown that’s come loose, or a gap you’ve meant to do something about since last winter. We look after all three at 1/6 Rothesay Heights, Mindarie, WA 6030, and we’ll tell you honestly whether yours needs fixing, adjusting or leaving alone.

Quinns Rocks, the practical bits
Coming to Mindarie with a parent or partner
Quinns Rocks has no Anchorage branch, so every visit is at 1/6 Rothesay Heights, Mindarie, WA 6030. If the walk from the car or a step at the door is a worry, ring (08) 9407 7888 before the day and we’ll tell you what to expect at the entrance.
Booking for someone else: You can ring on a parent’s behalf. Let us know what’s bothering them, what medicines they take, and whether they’d like a longer appointment.
What to bring: Their medicines list, their health fund card, and a DVA Gold or White Card if they hold one. Bring the denture too, even if it’s sitting in a drawer.
If it’s a new denture: A new set takes several weeks, because it’s made in a dental lab. Partials can have a metal framework, and we keep fine-tuning the fit once it’s in.
A partner, friend or carer is welcome to come along and wait with you.

Start with what’s bothering you
Pick the one that sounds most like you. Each page covers the usual causes, what we’d check, and the options.
I’m unhappy with my smile
Colour, shape, chips or gaps. We’ll start with what you’d like to change, and why.
I have missing teeth
A gap can make chewing harder and let other teeth drift. Implants, bridges and dentures each suit different situations.
I’m unhappy with my dentures
Loose, sore or hard to eat with? An adjustment often helps, without starting again.
My teeth are stained or discoloured
Surface stains, one darker tooth and old fillings that no longer match each need a different fix.
I’m considering teeth straightening
Crowding, gaps or a bite that feels off. Gums and bite get checked first, then we talk aligners.
I want a full smile makeover
Several things you’d like to change? We’ll help you decide the order, and what to do first.
I have a dental emergency
Pain, swelling, a broken or knocked-out tooth. Ring (08) 9407 7888 for what to do right now.
I’m seeking a small improvement
One chip, one gap, one darker tooth. A small fix is often all it needs.
I need help with dental anxiety
If the chair makes your heart race, we’ll go slowly, explain each step first, and stop when you ask.
Quinns Rocks, a sore spot
Denture rubbing? Bring it in
We can adjust a denture that’s rubbing or loose. If it’s past adjusting, we’ll explain the options, from a new denture to a bridge or an implant, with the cost of each.

Real patients, real treatment
These before-and-after photos show the kind of colour, shape and alignment changes we talk through with patients. Everyone’s teeth are different, so your result may not look the same, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s realistic.
Individual results vary. Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.

Quinns Rocks and your health fund
Asked from Quinns Rocks
What Quinns Rocks people ask before booking
Asking on a parent’s behalf and can’t see your question? Call (08) 9407 7888 and we’ll answer it.
You can. We’ll need her name, what’s bothering her and the medicines she takes. We’ll then let you know how long the visit should take, roughly what it will cost and who she’ll see, so you can sort out the drive and the day around it.
We do, for eligible Gold and White Card holders. What’s covered depends on each cardholder’s entitlements, so bring the card and we’ll check before any treatment starts. Ring (08) 9407 7888 if you’d like to talk it through before booking.
Not necessarily. Bring it in and we’ll check the denture and the gums underneath it. An adjustment is the first thing we’d try. If it’s worn or cracked past that, we’ll explain a new denture, which takes several weeks to make, and the other ways to fill the gap.
We don’t rule anyone out on age alone. We’d look first at the bone and gum where the tooth was, and at your general health. If an implant isn’t right for you, we’ll say so and talk through a bridge or a denture instead.
Saturday mornings run from 8am to 1pm, which can help when a son or daughter is doing the driving. Weekdays are Monday to Thursday 8am to 6pm and Friday 8am to 5pm. Book online to see what’s free, or ring (08) 9407 7888 and we’ll find a time that works for both of you.
