What are Dentures?

Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. Full dentures are used when all teeth are missing, while partial dentures fill gaps when some natural teeth remain. Modern dentures are custom-made to look natural and fit comfortably, restoring your ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently.

Frequently Asked Questions

Full dentures replace all teeth in an arch (upper or lower) and rest on your gums. Partial dentures replace some missing teeth and attach to remaining natural teeth using clasps or precision attachments for support and stability.

Most people adjust to new dentures within 2-4 weeks. Speaking and eating may feel different initially, but practice helps you adapt quickly. Start with soft foods and gradually progress to your normal diet as you become more comfortable.

Remove and rinse dentures after eating, brush them daily with a soft brush and denture cleaner (not regular toothpaste), soak overnight in denture solution, and clean your gums and any remaining teeth regularly. Handle with care to avoid dropping.

Dentures typically need relining every 1-2 years to maintain proper fit as your jawbone changes. Complete replacement is usually needed every 5-10 years due to normal wear and changes in your mouth structure.

The cost of dentures depends on the type, the materials, and whether you need one arch or both. Ask us for a quote. Many dental insurance plans and CDCP cover a portion of denture costs, and we bill most plans directly.

New dentures may temporarily affect your speech, causing slight lisping or difficulty with certain words. This is normal and improves with practice. Reading aloud and repeating difficult words helps you adjust faster, usually within a few weeks.

Well-fitting dentures shouldn't require adhesive for normal daily activities. However, adhesive can provide extra confidence and security for some patients. If you find yourself needing adhesive frequently, your dentures may need adjustment or relining.

Smile Well Dental offers full and partial dentures at all four Greater Vancouver locations: North Vancouver, Surrey, Langley, and Coquitlam. We create custom-fitted dentures that look natural and fit comfortably.
