Confa-Dental is a denture clinic, owned and operated by Dental Prosthetist Scott Thomas and his wife Jules.
Scott has been providing prosthetic denture services to patients living in the Mackay and Sarina districts for over ten years and has been a registered Dental Technician for the past 30 years. Scott is also a registered Dental Prosthetist, having completed a Postgraduate Diploma of Clinical Dental Technology at the University of Otago. This allows him to see the public and provide many services, like new dentures, partial dentures, mouthguards, plus repairs and relines to existing dentures.
We provide payment plans and an instant claim service with HICAPS, so you can use your private healthcare card and have on the spot claims and just pay the balance. This allows even those who are having financial difficulties to get the dental care they need. Confa-Dental is fully registered with the Australian Dental Prosthetists Association.

FAQs
Q: What are the problems associated with poorly fitting dentures?
A: Overtime, shrinkage occurs in the gum that supports your dentures or dentures are worn down and the lower jaw can move out of its correct position with the upper jaw. This can sometimes lead to several problems. For starters, the facial muscles can virtually collapse, giving the appearance of premature aging. Other symptoms which may occur, include:
Cracked & continually sore corners of the mouth A dull pain in & around the ear A clicking noise when chewing Dizziness Headaches Burning sensation in the throat, tongue & side of the nose
When dentures are first inserted, they fit the gum snugly. There is no substitute for a well-fitted denture, and to make sure that you have no problems, always have your dentures checked regularly at Confa-Dental.
