Dentures are custom-made dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore the functionality and aesthetics of your smile. They are made from durable materials that mimic the appearance of natural teeth and gums, providing a reliable and attractive solution for tooth loss.

The Denture Process

• Consultation
  Your journey begins with a consultation at Ottawa Dental Care, where we evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine the best denture option for you.

• Impressions
  We take precise impressions of your mouth to create custom dentures that fit perfectly.

• Fitting and Adjustments
  Once your dentures are crafted, we ensure they fit comfortably and make any necessary adjustments for a secure fit.

• Follow-Up Care
  We’ll guide you on how to care for your dentures and schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress and make adjustments if needed.

Adjusting to Your New Dentures

It’s normal to take some time to adjust to wearing dentures. Here are some tips to help you adapt:

• Practice speaking and eating with your dentures to improve comfort and confidence.
• Start with soft foods and gradually reintroduce harder foods.
• Use a denture adhesive if recommended by your dentist.
• Follow our care instructions to keep your dentures clean and functional.

How to Care for Your Dentures

Proper care ensures the longevity of your dentures and maintains your oral health:

• Brush your dentures daily with a denture-specific cleaner to remove food and plaque.
• Rinse your dentures thoroughly after eating.
• Soak your dentures overnight in a denture-cleaning solution to keep them fresh and maintain their shape.
