A balanced bite to protect shifting teeth.

From concern to outcome.
The concern
This patient had an ill-fitting, poorly functioning partial upper denture caused by wear and tear on her back teeth. She came to Future Smiles concerned that her natural lower front teeth were shifting.
The cause
The partial denture was producing an uneven bite force, which was putting excessive pressure on the lower teeth.
What we did
To stop that force and return function to her denture, we balanced her bite so pressure is spread evenly across all of her teeth.
The outcome
The patient was very happy with her improved smile and the reduction in pain.

About partial dentures in Calgary
This case shows how Future Smiles approached one patient’s problem: an upper partial denture that no longer fit was putting uneven force on the lower front teeth. The solution was a new partial denture with a balanced bite, designed to spread chewing forces evenly. Every case is different, and your denturist will explain which options suit your mouth at a free consultation.

Partial denture questions
How long do partial dentures take to make?
Most partial dentures take several appointments over a few weeks, including impressions, bite records, a try-in for eligible cases and delivery. Future Smiles makes them in our in-house Calgary lab.
Will a new partial protect my natural teeth?
A well-fitting partial with a balanced bite spreads chewing forces across your gums and remaining teeth, reducing uneven pressure on natural teeth. Regular check-ups keep it fitting well.
