Candidates for Dentures

Did you know that one-quarter of adults over 65 are missing all of their teeth? Dentures offer a natural-looking and reliable solution to replace missing teeth. They are so dependable and discreet that you might not even notice someone is wearing them. Are you a good candidate for dentures?

    You might be a great candidate for dentures if you:
  • Need to replace several or all of your teeth.
  • Do not smoke or use tobacco products.
  • Have a healthy jawbone (we can help assess this!).
  • Do not suffer from chronic dry mouth.
  • Are ready to care for your dentures at home.
  • Continue to visit your dentist regularly for checkups—just like natural teeth!

How Do I Take Care of My Dentures? Even with well-fitted dentures, regular cleanings and exams are crucial. During your visits, we will check the fit of your dentures, examine your gums, tongue, jaw, and mouth to ensure your overall oral health remains in top shape.

    Caring for Your Dentures at Home
  • Remove dentures overnight to allow your mouth to rest.
  • Soak dentures in warm water, with or without a denture cleanser, overnight.
  • Avoid soaking dentures with metal clasps in anything but warm water.
  • When not in use, keep dentures in water to prevent warping and drying out.
  • Do not soak in hot water as it may damage them.
  • Clean and massage your gums after removing dentures.
  • If using a toothbrush on your gums feels uncomfortable, try a warm damp cloth instead.
  • If you have partial dentures, remember to brush your natural teeth as usual.

With proper care, your dentures will last longer, keeping your smile looking and feeling great.

Cost of Dentures in Bracebridge

The cost of full or partial dentures typically ranges from $900 to $3,500+. However, the final price can vary significantly based on your specific needs. For full-mouth dentures, costs range from $1,800 to $3,500 and beyond. If you’re considering implant-supported dentures, expect to pay an estimated $30,000 for a full set.

    What Determines the Cost of Dentures?

    Several factors influence the cost, including:

  • The type of denture you need (full, partial, or implant-supported).
  • Dental extractions or other preparatory procedures.
  • X-rays or scans that may be required.
  • The addition of supportive implants, if necessary.

Since every patient’s needs are unique, it’s essential to schedule a consultation for a comprehensive oral exam. This will allow us to assess your situation and provide a more accurate quote based on your specific requirements.

to schedule an initial consultation & exam.

Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and, most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! Dental bridges are a good option for restoring gaps caused by 1 to 3 missing teeth. For multiple missing teeth, dental implants can be used. Although implants typically require a higher initial investment and specific health criteria to qualify, they offer a long-term, stable solution for tooth restoration.

With proper care and maintenance, dentures typically last 5 to 10 years. However, as your mouth changes over time, you may eventually need a new set for the best fit and function.

While you can sleep with your dentures in, it’s recommended that you remove them at night. This allows your gums and jaw to rest and gives you a chance to clean your dentures, gums, and remaining natural teeth.

  • Top dentures should suction securely to your gums.
  • Bottom dentures should float above your gums but stay in place comfortably.
  • Partial dentures should align with natural teeth and remain stable.
  • Implant-supported dentures should snap securely into place.

If you’re unsure about your dentures’ fit, we recommend scheduling an appointment so we can check the fit and make any necessary adjustments.

After you adjust to your dentures, you should be able to eat most foods. However, some foods can be hard on your dentures or may cause discomfort:

  • Hard or sticky foods like caramel, tough meats, or carrot sticks.
  • Small particles like those from popcorn or seeded crackers can get stuck in your dentures.

These foods should be enjoyed in moderation or as occasional treats to preserve the lifespan of your dentures.

Prior to moving to Muskoka, I had one dentist my whole life. I was worried my new dentist wouldn't be as good. However, I lucked out when I found Cottage Country Dental. They are incredibly professional and make you feel comfortable throughout your appointment. The staff are lovely, too, and it feels like I'm catching up with old friends every time I arrive for an check up.
