About dentures

Full and partial dentures

A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth. A complete denture replaces all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw. A partial denture fills the gaps between the natural teeth you still have, and those teeth hold it in place.

Getting used to a new denture takes time. Eating and speaking feel different for the first few weeks, and a sore spot or two is normal until the fit is adjusted. That’s what follow-up visits are for, so don’t put up with a denture that rubs.

Dentures aren’t the only choice. Dr. Sophie also places dental implants, and a bridge suits some gaps better. At your consultation you’ll hear about each option that would work for your mouth and your budget.

Which type

Which type might suit you

It depends on how many teeth are missing and the condition of the ones that are left.

A denture that no longer fits

Gums and bone change shape over the years. A reline can often tighten a loose denture.

How it works

How dentures are made and fitted

Expect several visits. Each one gets the fit a little closer.

Consultation

X-rays and impressions

Digital X-rays check the bone and any teeth that will support a partial. Impressions record the shape of your mouth.

Try-in

You try a trial version first, so the fit, bite and look can be adjusted before the final denture is made.

Fitting and follow-up

You take the finished denture home, then come back so we can ease any sore spots.

Cost and coverage

What dentures cost, and what CDCP covers

tooth-replacement-benefits

Our fees follow the Ontario Dental Association fee guide. The cost depends on whether you need a complete or a partial denture and whether any teeth have to be removed first, and we go over it with you before anything is made. The Canadian Dental Care Plan covers complete and partial dentures for eligible patients, along with repairs and relines. Some denture services need approval from the plan before treatment starts. Many private plans cover part of the cost too. See costs, insurance and CDCP for payment options.

  • Cost before anything is made You know your share first.
  • CDCP accepted Complete and partial dentures are covered for eligible patients.
  • Pre-treatment estimate We can check with your insurer first.
  • Adjustments after fitting Come back if anything rubs.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

A full, or complete, denture replaces all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw. A partial denture replaces one or several missing teeth and is held in place by the natural teeth beside the gap.

Most people need a few weeks. Eating and speaking feel different at first, and it helps to start with soft food cut into small pieces. If a sore spot doesn't settle, come in and we'll adjust the fit.

Yes. The Canadian Dental Care Plan covers complete and partial removable dentures for eligible patients, plus repairs and relines. Some denture services need approval from the plan before treatment, and there are limits on how often it pays for a replacement.

Not always. Gums and bone change shape over time, and a reline can often tighten the fit of the denture you already have. Bring it in and we'll tell you whether a reline or a replacement makes more sense.

It depends on your mouth and your budget. Implants are fixed in place and feel closer to natural teeth, while dentures cost less up front and don't involve surgery. We offer both, so you can compare them at one consultation.

Take them out and brush them every day with a soft brush and denture cleaner. Regular toothpaste can scratch them. Keep them in water or a soaking solution overnight, and brush your gums and any remaining teeth too.
