Checkups
After your final appointment, we recommend a yearly check-up to ensure your dentures continue to fit comfortably and are not causing irritation to your gums or oral tissues.
Relines
Over time, natural changes in your mouth can affect the fit of your dentures. Most patients benefit from a professional reline every 2 - 3 years to maintain proper comfort and stability.
Lifespan
On average, complete dentures should be replaced every 5 years to ensure optimal function, appearance and oral health.
Ongoing care
Type of dentures
Standard complete dentures
Complete dentures are made after all remaining teeth are removed and the gums have fully healed. Complete dentures are best for patients who want a non-surgical solution.
Pros
- Most affordable option
- Non-surgical
- Custom-made for your mouth
Cons
- May feel loose (especially lower dentures)
- Can move while eating or speaking
- Bone shrinkage over time may require relining
Equilibrated dentures
Equilibrated dentures are carefully designed and adjusted so your teeth meet evenly when you bite and chew. This balanced contact helps keep your dentures stable, comfortable and secure throughout the day. The result is improved function, reduced sore spots and a more natural feel.
Pros
- Increased stability
- Greater comfort
- Better function
Cons
- More appointments
- Higher cost
- Ongoing maintenance
Immediate dentures
Immediate dentures are dentures that are placed in your mouth the same day teeth are extracted, so you never have to be without teeth during healing.
What to expect
- The denture is placed the same day as your extraction
- The denture is made before your teeth are removed
- As your mouth heals, the denture will loosen and require adjustments or a reline
Pros
- You avoid going without teeth
- Helps protect healing areas
- Maintains speech and facial appearance
- Provides a smoother transition to your final denture
Things to keep in mind
- Fit will change as gums heal
- Soft foods are recommended for a while
- Adjustments are normal and expected
