If you are considering dentures to replace missing teeth, our family dental clinic in Brampton is here to help guide you through every step of the journey. We provide complete and partial dentures to restore comfort, function, and confidence in your smile for patients of all ages.
What Happens First? Your Consultation at Our Family Dental Clinic
We start the denture process with a thorough consultation and assessment. During this first visit, we evaluate your remaining teeth, bone, and gums to determine the best options for your needs. We encourage you to share what bothers you about your current teeth or denture, bring in any existing dentures, and provide your medical history and insurance details. If extractions are planned, ask us about immediate dentures, which may be placed the same day your teeth are removed.
Step-by-Step: The Denture Process Explained
Once your assessment is complete, we take detailed impressions and measurements of your mouth, including bite records. In the next appointment, you try in a wax model of your future dentures so we can confirm the position, colour, and bite, making sure everything looks and feels right. After confirming a comfortable fit, we deliver your finished dentures and make adjustments as needed while you get used to them. Follow-up visits are common, especially in the first few weeks, as minor refinements may be needed for the best fit.
Types of Dentures You Can Choose From
We offer several types of dentures based on your needs: complete (full) dentures, which replace an entire upper or lower arch and are usually held in place by suction; partial dentures, which fill spaces where you still have some natural teeth and are secured with clasps or precision attachments; immediate dentures, which are placed directly after an extraction; conventional dentures, made once your gums have healed; and implant-retained dentures for greater stability.
What to Expect After Getting Dentures
There is always an adjustment period with new dentures, but most patients are comfortable within a few weeks. In the beginning, stick to soft foods cut into small pieces and give yourself time to adapt. Remove your dentures at night to let your gums rest and clean them daily using a soft denture brush and denture cleaner, not regular toothpaste. Store your dentures in water or denture solution whenever they are not in use. If you experience sore spots or your dentures feel loose, book an appointment with us for adjustments.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dentures at Our Family Dental Clinic
Many patients want to know if dentures will feel like natural teeth. While there is an adjustment period, most people adapt within a few weeks. If you want a feel and function closer to natural teeth, implant-supported dentures may be an option for you.
Proper care includes removing dentures at night, brushing them with a soft brush and denture cleaner, and keeping them wet when not in use to prevent warping. Over time, your jaw and gum tissue change, so most dentures need to be relined or replaced every five to seven years, regular visits let us keep your fit comfortable.
