Full Dentures
Full dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw. They rest on the gums and are shaped to fit your mouth after tooth loss.
Full dentures are often recommended when no natural teeth remain in an arch.

What Are Dentures?
Dentures are removable appliances that replace missing teeth. They are custom-made to fit your mouth and help restore both function and appearance.
Dentures may be recommended if you:
- Are missing multiple teeth
- Have lost all teeth in the upper or lower arch
- Want a removable tooth replacement option
Modern dentures are designed to look natural and feel more comfortable than older styles. A proper fit plays an important role in comfort and stability.
Types of Dentures
There are two main types of dentures.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth are still present. They are designed to fill in gaps and attach securely to remaining teeth.
Partial dentures help maintain spacing and prevent nearby teeth from shifting.
During your consultation, we will explain which option fits your needs.
Who Is a Candidate for Dentures?
Dentures may be appropriate if you:
- Have lost multiple teeth
- Have difficulty chewing due to missing teeth
- Want a removable option
- Are not a candidate for other tooth replacement options
Healthy gums are important for denture stability. During your exam, we evaluate your oral health and discuss whether dentures are a suitable choice.
Every patient is different. We take time to review your goals and expectations before creating a treatment plan.
What to Expect During the Denture Process

Fitting
Follow-Up
Clear communication during this process is important for comfort and long-term success.
Adjusting to Dentures
It takes time to adjust to new dentures. During the first few weeks, you may notice:
- Mild soreness
- Increased saliva flow
- Changes in speech
- Difficulty chewing certain foods
Most patients adapt gradually. Starting with softer foods and cutting food into smaller pieces can help during the adjustment period.
If discomfort continues, we can make adjustments to improve the fit.
Denture Cost in Waterloo
The cost of dentures in Waterloo varies based on:
- Type of denture
- Materials used
- Laboratory work
- Complexity of the case
- Insurance coverage
In Ontario, partial dentures often range from approximately $1,000 to $3,000 or more. Full dentures may range from approximately $1,500 to $3,500 or more per arch. Exact costs are confirmed after your consultation.
Some insurance plans provide partial coverage. Our team offers direct billing to most insurance providers and will review your benefits with you.
Flexible payment options are available to help you plan your care.
Caring for Your Dentures
Proper care helps extend the life of your dentures.
You should:
- Remove and rinse dentures after eating
- Clean them daily with a denture brush
- Avoid using hot water, which may cause warping
- Store dentures properly when not in use
- Visit your dentist for regular checkups
Over time, the shape of your gums may change. Dentures may require relining or replacement to maintain proper fit.
Routine dental visits allow us to monitor changes and ensure your dentures remain comfortable.
