Complete and Partial Dentures in Brampton

Types of dentures we offer

• Complete dentures. Replace all the teeth in one arch. Made with a custom acrylic base and denture teeth.
• Partial dentures. Replace some missing teeth and clip onto the natural teeth you still have. Available with a metal framework or in flexible acrylic.
• Immediate dentures. Made ahead of time and placed on the day your teeth are removed, so you are never without teeth.
• Relines and repairs. A slipping denture can often be fixed with a reline in about an hour. Simple repairs, like a cracked base or a single tooth, are often same-day if you come in the morning. Repairs that need the lab take 24 to 48 hours.

If your lower denture keeps moving, ask about implant-supported dentures, which snap onto 2 to 4 implants.

Do you need a new denture, or just a reline?

Bone shrinks slowly under a denture, about half a millimetre a year, so a once-good fit loosens over time. Relines every 3 to 5 years are normal. If your denture is slipping, sore or clicking, you may only need a reline. We will not recommend a new denture if a reline will solve the problem.

The denture process: 3 to 5 visits over about 4 to 6 weeks

1. Consultation and first impressions (45 to 60 minutes). We review your mouth, take a 3D scan if needed, and talk through your priorities: chewing, speech, looks and budget.
2. Custom impressions and bite registration.
3. Wax try-in (about 30 minutes). You check the shape, shade and feel before the final denture is made.
4. Delivery (about 45 minutes). We fit the denture, adjust the bite and show you how to care for it.
5. Adjustments. Usually one or two short visits in the first 2 weeks.

Getting used to new dentures

Expect your speech to change slightly at first, and start with soft, small bites. Most people eat comfortably by week 3 and feel settled by week 6. We schedule follow-ups at 1 week and 4 weeks, and adjustments in the first 90 days are at no extra charge. If a spot is sore, come in. A sore spot adjustment takes about 5 minutes.

Denture cost, insurance and CDCP in Brampton

Pricing follows the Ontario Dental Association fee guide, and you get a written quote at your consultation. Cost depends on whether you need one or both arches, the teeth and acrylic you choose, any extractions needed first, and your coverage. Extended plans often cover about 50 percent under major restorative. CDCP covers standard complete and partial dentures for eligible patients, typically every 5 to 8 years. We confirm coverage in writing before treatment. We direct-bill Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Green Shield and CDCP, and offer 0% in-house payment plans.

Before Your Visit

• Bring your current dentures, even if they are broken, so we can check the fit and use them as a guide.
• Bring your insurance or CDCP card.
• If you are having teeth removed for an immediate denture, ask the front desk how to prepare and whether you want sedation.
• Tell us what bothers you most: loose fit, sore spots, chewing, speech or looks.

After Your Treatment

• Keep the denture in as directed on the first day, especially if it is an immediate denture. Some oozing around it is expected.
• If you have bleeding, bite on gauze for 30 minutes. Call us if it does not settle.
• Rinse with warm salt water after day one, 2 to 3 times a day, after removing the denture.
• Clean your denture every day and take it out at night as advised. Do not use hot water.
• Come to your 1-week and 4-week follow-ups, and call for any sore spots.
