A denture can be either removable or fixed in place with dental implant near you. Dentures in Calgary are a safe and reliable option for many patients who wish to regain their ability to eat, speak, and smile after losing some or all of their teeth. Dr. Adatia has successfully rehabilitated hundreds of smiles using dentures and can do the same for you.
Your Dentures Appointments at Northwest Prosthodontics
To have dentures made by our prosthodontist near you, you will need to come in for two to six appointments, depending on the type of dentures you require. During your first visit, our dentist will consult with you to understand your unique needs. After this, impressions or a 3D scan will be taken of your teeth/mouth to be sent to the dental lab.
During your final appointment, you will be given your new dentures and shown how to put them on and remove them (if removable dentures were desired), as well as be taught how to properly maintain them. Dentures often feel odd at the beginning, but this feeling wears off as your tongue and cheeks get accustomed to this new addition.
