Dentures in Calgary NE

What Are Dentures

Dentures are a set of artificial teeth attached to a custom fitted base designed to rest comfortably on your gums. Modern dentures are built to closely mimic the look of natural teeth and gums, and the fitting process involves taking careful impressions of your mouth to ensure a secure, comfortable fit.

Full Dentures vs Partial Dentures

Full dentures replace an entire arch of teeth, either upper, lower, or both, and are recommended when all natural teeth in that arch are missing. Partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth while natural teeth remain in the mouth, using clasps or attachments to secure the partial denture to the remaining teeth. Our team will assess your specific situation to determine which type is the right fit.

Adjusting to New Dentures

It is normal to need some time to adjust to new dentures, both in terms of comfort and how they feel when eating and speaking. Starting with softer foods and gradually working up to a wider variety as you get used to chewing with your new dentures can help ease the transition. Some minor soreness or increased saliva production in the first days or weeks is common as your mouth adjusts, and our team can make small adjustments if any spots feel uncomfortable.

Caring for Your Dentures

Removing and rinsing your dentures after eating, brushing them daily with a denture specific cleaner, and soaking them overnight in a denture solution all help keep them clean and in good condition. It is also important to continue caring for your gums and any remaining natural teeth, along with attending regular checkups so our team can monitor the fit of your dentures over time, since your gums and jawbone can change shape gradually.
