Did You Know?

Approximately 4 million Canadians wear dentures! Ordinary dentures leave little room for customization. Men and women, old and young, get the same look. The result is a perfect row of identical teeth, which causes many dentures to look false.

What are Dentures?

Dentures are replacements for missing teeth that can be removed and put back into your mouth. A denture consists of a plate or frame holding one or more artificial teeth in place. Dentures can take some getting used to, and while they may never feel the same as your original teeth, they can look natural and are now more comfortable than ever. At South Calgary Dental & Orthodontics, we will advise you of all treatment options available based on your unique case.

Conventional Full Denture

Full Dentures are the most common denture appliances made. After the affected teeth are removed, a full denture can be crafted to fit either the upper arch, lower arch or both. The upper denture has a pink denture base that extends across the roof of the mouth to create suction and help keep the denture in place. The lower denture is u-shaped and is designed to fit snugly along the bottom ridge of the jaw.

The term “false teeth” concerns a lot of people. However, our dentists and denturist (who constructs the denture appliance) take every step to ensure that your dentures look as natural as possible. Innovations in replacement tooth design have come a long way in making the false teeth look incredibly natural. Also, since the loss of teeth may have resulted in the loss of support for your lips, cheeks, and facial muscles, your new full denture will help fill out the shape of your face and instantly improve your smile!

Typical Denture Process

When it comes time to fit your full denture, it will all depend on the type of dentures you have chosen and your specific needs. The following is a basic outline of the denture creation process and generally, you can expect that the creation and fitting of your dentures to take place over several office visits.

  • Impressions: We will take a series of impressions of your jaw as well as measurements of how your jaws relate to one another and the space between them.
  • Models: We will create a waxed up model denture in the exact shape and position of your new proposed dentures. This will allow you to try the models and to make sure they fit right.  Additionally, the model dentures will show you the color and shape of your replacement teeth to ensure your satisfaction with the appearance of your new smile.
  • Casting: Once the fit, shape, and color of the dentures have been confirmed, the final dentures will be crafted.
  • Adjusting: Once the full denture has been created, we will make sure it fits properly and continue to make any adjustments needed. It’s important to keep in mind that adjustments may be needed from time to time as your mouth adjusts to the new denture.  If your mouth gets sore, don’t wait for it to get worse, it is recommended to contact us immediately so that we can check how your mouth is adjusting to the new denture. We are happy to help you and strongly encourage you to come in to see us for a denture adjustment as soon as you can.

Is there an Alternative to Dentures?

Yes, there are alternative to dentures! Dental Implants can now be used to support permanently cemented bridges, thereby eliminating the need for a denture. In the case of a poor fitting full denture, dental implants can also be used to create better support for the denture.

Please be aware that the cost of implant supported bridges and implant supported dentures is greater than that for standard dentures, but there is an added benefit in that the implant supported solutions feel more natural, are stronger and more stable and will help maintain your jaw bone over time.

Unfortunately, not everyone is a good candidate for an implant supported bridge or implant supported the denture. If you would like to explore the potential for implants supported denture solutions, we would be happy to discuss this with you during your denture consultation.

    Love Dr. Sharma and all of her staff! My family has been going to this dentist for 3 years and I have absolutely no complaints. Dr. Sharma and her staff are great at making us feel comfortable and at ease. We wouldn't go anywhere else! The odd time it can get expensive with something that is only partially covered or not covered by insurance, but they are great with arranging payment plans if need be.
