Dentures Stoney Creek
Dentures are a low cost and less invasive alternative to dental Impants or crowns that are made to look like your natural teeth. Dentures are a fairly universal solution for those who have lost teeth or had decay that required extraction. They provide the function and aesthetics of natural teeth, allowing you to enjoy all of your favorite foods while restoring your confident smile.
Patients can opt for a partial denture, which is designed to fill small gaps or even individual teeth; or they can opt for a complete denture, which replaces all of the missing teeth.

Cleaning and Caring for Dentures
Cleanliness is an important part of ensuring they stay looking their best and remain comfortable in your mouth. Some of the things you can do to take care of your dentures include the following:
- Soak them overnight to keep them moist and help them retain their shape
- Brush your dentures daily to remove food, adhesives, or other debris
- Remove your dentures after eating and rinse them off
- Brush your tongue, cheeks, and hard palate with a soft toothbrush to keep your soft tissues clean and healthy

Getting Dentures in Stoney Creek
Dr. Rocci will start by taking impressions and measurements of your jaws. These will be sent to a Denture Technician to create templates so that further measurements can be recorded. Once the dentures are fabricated, they will be custom fitted through a series of adjustments. This will result in a proper fit so that you can get back to enjoying your favorite foods and sharing your smile. The fitting process can take up to 3 to 4 weeks.
Dentures can take some getting used to, as eating and speaking will feel a little different, and at times may even feel loose. Not to worry, as this usually lasts for only a few weeks until you become more comfortable with them. Sometimes our patients share that getting dentures in Stoney Creek helps with an increased feeling of stability, thus maintaining a strong grip on the gums.
