Dentures and everyday dental care under one roof

A full set of replacement teeth for the upper jaw, the lower jaw or both, made from impressions of your mouth. Your dentist tells you how many visits it takes, usually several fittings over a few weeks, and what to expect while you get used to it.

• Upper, lower or both

• Fittings over several visits

• Adjustments after you start wearing them

• How to clean and care for them

Replacement teeth that fill the gaps while you keep the teeth you have. A partial denture clips to your natural teeth, so your dentist first checks that the teeth that hold it are healthy.

• Matched to your natural teeth

• Clips to the teeth you keep

• Checks on your remaining teeth

• Care instructions in writing

A denture that attaches to dental implants in the jaw, so it stays steadier when you eat and talk. Implants need a procedure and healing time, and not everyone is a candidate. Your dentist explains the steps, the risks, who places the implants and the alternatives first.

• An X-ray to check the bone first

• Healing time between steps

• Careful cleaning around the implants

• Alternatives explained before you decide

A cracked denture, a loose fit or a sore spot: bring it in and we tell you whether it can be repaired, relined or adjusted, and what that involves.

• Sore-spot adjustments

• Relines for a loose fit

• Cracks and broken teeth

• Cleaning and care advice

Exams and cleanings for the natural teeth and gums you have, and a check of how your denture fits. Your dentist decides how often you need to come.

• Exams and cleanings

• X-rays when your dentist decides

• Gum checks

• Oral cancer screening
