The complete denture process typically takes three to eight weeks from the first impression to final delivery, spread over several appointments. Immediate dentures can be placed the same day teeth are extracted, but will need adjustments and eventual replacement as the gums heal and change shape.

Yes. Modern dentures are crafted with high-quality prosthetic teeth and gum-coloured acrylic that closely mimic the appearance of natural teeth and gums. Dr. Verzonilla works closely with the dental laboratory to select tooth shapes, sizes, and shades that complement your facial features and skin tone for the most natural result possible.

It is strongly recommended that you remove your dentures at night to give your gum tissue time to rest and to reduce the risk of fungal infections. Sleeping with dentures in has been associated with higher rates of gum inflammation, bacterial buildup, and pneumonia in older adults.

Do not try to repair it yourself with household glues or adhesives — these can damage the denture and may contain harmful chemicals. Contact Dentistry On Yorkdale as soon as possible. In many cases, a broken denture can be repaired quickly at the dental laboratory. If the damage is severe, a new denture may need to be fabricated.

If your denture feels loose, rocks when you chew, causes sore spots, or requires increasing amounts of adhesive to stay in place, it likely needs a reline. Relining involves adding new material to the inside of the denture to improve its fit against the gum ridge. This is a normal part of denture maintenance as the bone and tissue continue to remodel over time.

With well-fitting dentures and a period of adjustment, most patients can eat a wide variety of foods. Start with softer foods and gradually progress to firmer items. Some very hard, sticky, or small-seed foods may always require caution. Implant-supported dentures offer significantly improved chewing efficiency compared to traditional removable dentures.
