Complete & Partial Dentures

• Several missing teeth that make chewing difficult
• Teeth that are loose, badly damaged or can no longer be repaired
• An existing denture that is loose, worn or uncomfortable
• Difficulty speaking clearly or confidence lost because of gaps

• Complete dentures for patients who have lost all the teeth in an arch.
• Partial dentures for patients who still have healthy natural teeth to hold the denture in place.

If you would like to compare dentures with other ways of replacing missing teeth, we can also explain dental implants and bridges at your consultation.

1. 01Consultation and exam. Your dentist reviews your mouth, your health and your goals.
2. 02Impressions and measurements. Precise records are taken so your denture is made to fit you.
3. 03Try-in and adjustments. We check the fit, bite and appearance and make changes where needed.
4. 04Final fitting. Your finished dentures are placed and adjusted for comfort.
5. 05Follow-up. We see you again to fine-tune the fit as you get used to them.

If extractions are needed before dentures, or if you feel anxious, ask us about sedation dentistry. Comfort options are available, and IV sedation is offered without a referral.

• Bring your insurance card, or both cards if you have two plans.
• If you wear a denture now, bring it with you.
• Tell us about your health history and medications.
• Write down what you would like to improve, such as comfort, appearance or chewing.
• If you have recent X-rays from another dental office, let us know when you book.

• Expect an adjustment period. New dentures can feel unfamiliar, and mild soreness or extra saliva is common at first.
• Start with soft foods and cut food into small pieces. Add firmer foods as you get comfortable.
• Clean your dentures daily with a soft brush and a denture cleaner, and remove them at night as your dentist advises.
• Handle them carefully over a towel or basin of water so they do not break if dropped.
• Book follow-up adjustments, and call us if you have sore spots, loose fit, swelling, fever or lasting pain.

We follow the Alberta Dental Association Fee Guide and give you a written plan and estimate before treatment. We bill major insurance providers directly, and we welcome patients covered by NIHB, the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), the Alberta Adult Health Benefit and WCB for approved claims. Some programs require pre-authorization for dentures, and we handle that process with you. We also offer flexible payment options.
