Custom Dentures in Calgary
Missing several or all of your teeth doesn't mean giving up on a confident smile. Custom dentures are designed to fit your mouth precisely, restoring your ability to eat, speak, and smile comfortably.
About Custom Dentures
Custom dentures are removable replacement teeth designed to fit your mouth precisely, unlike generic options, which can shift, slip, or feel uncomfortable. At Royal Oak Smiles, every denture is custom fit dentures based on impressions of your own mouth, so they sit securely and feel as natural as possible. Dentures can replace some teeth or a full arch, depending on your needs.
What is Condition
Dentures are typically recommended for patients missing several or all of their natural teeth, whether from decay, gum disease, or injury over time. For patients missing only a few teeth, dental bridges or dental implants may be a better fit. For those wanting more stability than traditional dentures provide, implant supported dentures combine the benefits of both approaches.
Symptoms and Causes
- Missing several or all natural teeth
- Difficulty chewing or speaking clearly due to missing teeth
- Loose fitting or uncomfortable existing dentures
- Wanting a confident, complete smile after significant tooth loss
Denture needs are common among dentures for elderly patients, though tooth loss and the need for dentures can affect adults at any age depending on dental history.
What to Expect
Getting custom dentures starts with a thorough exam and impressions of your mouth. Your dentures are then custom made to match your bite and facial structure, with a fitting appointment to check comfort and make any needed adjustments. Most patients need a short adjustment period to get used to speaking and eating with new dentures.
