Are you suffering from tooth loss? Whether this is due to age, injury, or disease, customized dentures are an excellent tooth replacement option that can restore your smile and quality of life.
Getting dentures for the first time can be a challenging experience, especially if it’s your first visit to the denturist. Being well-prepared, and knowing what to expect from your first consultation and denture impressions can ease your mind and make the experience more comfortable.
Here are some things you should know:
- Most denturists will offer a free consultation to discuss your tooth replacement options.
- Your denturist will conduct a quick, yet thorough, assessment, on your oral and overall health.
- There will be a short and painless examination for the denturist to examine your teeth and current dentures (if you have any).
- Your denture options will be explored.
- No denture impressions will be taken during this consultation.
- The denturist should give an expert recommendation on which denture solution he/she believes suits your unique needs.
- You will have the opportunity to discuss the prices associated with your different options.

The Many Benefits of Custom-Fitted Dentures
When it comes to your dentures, it’s ALWAYS recommended that you trust a professional to get the job right. While cheaper dentures might do an okay job of replacing your missing teeth for a little while, they will eventually lead to mouth sores, discomfort, and a need for frequent replacements.
At our Calgary denture clinic, we offer fully customized dentures that are crafted for your specific needs, offering the most comfortable, convenient, and aesthetically pleasing tooth replacement results.
Restore Your Beautiful Smile With Customized Dentures
Dentures are prosthetic teeth that are implanted into an acrylic base, made to look like your natural gums. A custom-fitted denture made from high-quality materials is crafted using denture impressions of your teeth, ensuring a comfortable and perfect fit.
Dentures can be designed to be either full or partial. Which one is right for you depends on how many teeth you are missing.
-
A partial denture replaces one or several missing teeth from anywhere in your mouth where natural teeth still remain. (Partial Dentures >)
-
A complete denture takes the place of an entire row of missing teeth. It is held in place by natural suction, although a denture adhesive can be used for added stability. (Complete Dentures >)
Implant Supported Dentures
Dentures can also be retained using dental implants, which provide the ultimate stability for any prosthetic. Patients who are good candidates for implant supported dentures (i.e. those with good jaw bone density and in good overall health) should strongly consider this option.
Benefits of Custom Made Dentures
Unlike a one-size-fits-all denture, a custom-fitted one allows patients to enjoy some incredible benefits.
These include:
- Better oral health. With a custom fit denture, you don’t have to worry about any sores or discomfort. A proper fit also prevents jawbone deterioration, allowing you to maintain a youthful facial structure.
- Renewed self-confidence: It’s easier to speak, chew, and smile with confidence using dentures that are made to your exact specifications.
- Lower overall costs. Custom fitted dentures are an excellent investment because they will require fewer repairs and adjustments than a one-size-fits-all prosthetic.
