What to Expect
Getting Your Custom Dentures at Eledent Family Dentistry
Your denture treatment begins with an examination of your mouth, remaining teeth and gums so our dental team can understand your needs and discuss suitable tooth-replacement options. If you’re also exploring implant-supported options, learn more about our dental implants in Mississauga.
During the fitting process, your dentist will assess factors such as fit, bite, comfort and appearance. The number and timing of appointments can vary depending on the type of denture and your individual needs.
Once your dentures are ready, our team will provide instructions for wearing, removing and caring for them. Follow-up visits may be recommended so adjustments can be made as you become accustomed to your new dentures.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dentures
Dentures typically last 5 to 10 years with proper care and maintenance. At Eledent Family Dentistry in Mississauga, patients receive guidance on extending denture lifespan through regular cleaning and professional adjustments. Jawbone changes over time may require relines or replacements to maintain proper fit and function for optimal comfort.
Dentures can help restore chewing function, although it may take some time to adjust to eating with them. Many patients find it helpful to begin with softer foods and gradually introduce firmer textures as they become more comfortable. Your dentist can also check the fit of your dentures and recommend adjustments if eating remains uncomfortable or difficult.
Clean your dentures daily using a soft denture brush and a cleaner recommended for dentures. Rinse them after meals when possible, and handle them carefully to avoid bending or damaging them. If you have remaining natural teeth, continue brushing and flossing them as directed. Your dentist can also provide specific instructions for storing or soaking your dentures based on the type you wear.
Partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth while some natural teeth remain. Full dentures replace all of the teeth in the upper or lower arch. The design, materials and way the denture is supported can vary depending on your mouth, remaining teeth and treatment needs. Your dentist can assess which type of denture may be appropriate for you.
Dental implants and traditional dentures are different tooth-replacement options, and the right choice depends on your oral health, goals and individual needs. Dental implants can provide added stability because they are supported by implants placed in the jaw, while removable dentures may be appropriate for patients who prefer or require a non-surgical option. Your dentist can assess your mouth and discuss which approach may be suitable for you. Learn more about our dental implants in Mississauga.
