Well-fitting dentures can help patients smile with confidence.

Have you lost teeth due to trauma, tooth decay, or severe gum disease? The restoration of missing teeth not only enhances your facial aesthetics but also improves your dental health and overall well-being. At Calgary Dental Centers in Calgary, Alberta, we provide many tooth replacement options, such as dentures and dental bridges. For many of our patients, dentures are the optimal choice. Continue to explore how dentures are instilling confidence, promoting clear speech, and facilitating the enjoyment of favorite foods among the residents of the Calgary area.

What are the different types of dentures available?

  • Complete dentures: A complete denture serves as a replacement for a whole row of teeth. The traditional “floating” denture is kept steady by natural suction and, in the scenario of the lower row, by gravity. These dentures are custom-made by your dentist after the healing period of tooth extraction and are manufactured at an advanced dental lab.
  • Overdentures: Often called a partial denture, this dental device is designed to fit over your existing teeth, replacing one or several absent teeth. Unlike a conventional complete denture, this one can be conveniently removed.
  • Immediate dentures: Plan with our immediate denture that is pre-designed and ready to be used on the very day you have a tooth extraction. This denture protects your mouth during its healing period and allows adjustments for optimal fitting post-recovery. With our immediate denture, you’ll never face a day toothless.

How do I take care of my dentures and get used to them?

Adjusting to dentures might take some time, but most individuals find their stride swiftly. Below are some pointers to smooth out your adaptation journey:

  • Start with speech exercises. Position yourself before a mirror, select a magazine you enjoy, and initiate reading aloud. Commence at a comfortable pace and gradually get familiar with the sensation of your tongue against your new dentures. A helpful tip might be to clench your teeth and then swallow to ensure your dentures are securely placed before you speak.
  • Start with meals that require minimal chewing effort and can be easily swallowed. Keep your bite sizes small and pace your chewing. Refrain from using your front teeth for chewing, as it might dislodge your dentures. Steer away from extremely hard or sticky food items.
  • If you encounter problems while wearing your dentures or notice any sore spots developing, do not hesitate to contact our team.
