NE Calgary Dentures

Unfortunately, missing teeth can make your cheeks look hollow and your mouth looks sunken. More importantly, your diet can suffer. Those missing multiple teeth in a row may want to consider dentures for both cosmetic purposes and overall wellness. Depending on the number of teeth missing, we may suggest partial or full dentures. During your consultation, we’ll assess all your options, and you can choose what you feel most comfortable with.

We are excited to help you take the first steps in replacing your missing teeth. Our denturist Franco Disciglio is here to make this process effortless and seamless.

Dentures are removable prosthetic devices that are used to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They are a popular and effective solution for people who have lost their teeth due to injury, decay, or disease.

Full Dentures are the most common denture appliances made. After the affected teeth are removed, a full denture can be crafted to fit either the upper arch, lower arch, or both. The upper denture has a pink denture base that extends across the roof of the mouth to create suction and help keep the denture in place. The lower denture is u-shaped and is designed to fit snugly along the bottom ridge of the jaw.

The term “false teeth” concerns a lot of people. However, our Calgary denturist takes every step to ensure that your dentures look as natural as possible. Innovations in replacement tooth design have come a long way in making the false teeth look incredibly natural.

If you have one or more of your own natural teeth remaining, then a removable partial denture can be considered.  A partial denture replacement is made up of a gum-coloured plastic base connected to a metal framework. This framework clips onto the remaining natural teeth to hold the denture in place in the mouth.

In some cases, a fixed bridge, also known as a fixed partial denture, can also be considered as a treatment option when adjacent natural teeth are there to support the bridge.  A dental “bridge” is considered permanent because it is cemented into place and is not removable. The advantage of the fixed partial denture is that it stays securely in place.

1. The first step in getting dentures is to visit a dentist or prosthodontist for a consultation and examination.
2. The dentist will take impressions of your mouth and use them to create a custom mold for your dentures.
3. The mold is sent to a dental laboratory where the dentures are fabricated.
4. Once the dentures are ready, you will return to the dentist’s office for a fitting.
5. Adjustments may be necessary to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.

Dentures can restore your ability to eat and speak properly, which can improve your overall quality of life.

They can also help to support your facial structure and prevent sagging or wrinkling of the skin.

Dentures are a cost-effective solution for replacing missing teeth compared to other options such as dental implants.

They are also a non-invasive option, which means that they do not require surgery.
