Our skilled dentists will assess your oral health and recommend the most suitable option for your lifestyle and preferences.

The Denture Fitting Process

Getting dentures in Halifax begins with a comprehensive consultation at Prescott Street Dental Practice. Our dentists take precise impressions of your mouth to create custom-fitted dentures that provide maximum comfort and functionality. If extractions are needed, we provide guidance on healing and temporary denture options. Once your dentures are ready, we carefully fit them, making necessary adjustments to ensure a secure and comfortable fit. Over time, we offer follow-up appointments to address any concerns and ensure your dentures remain in optimal condition.

FAQs

How long do dentures last?

With proper care, dentures can last between 5 to 10 years. Over time, they may need adjustments or replacements due to natural changes in the gums and jawbone.

Will dentures feel uncomfortable at first?

It is normal to experience some initial discomfort as your mouth adjusts to new dentures. However, with time and practice, they will begin to feel more natural. Our team will provide guidance on adapting to your new dentures.

Can I eat normally with dentures?

Yes, but it may take a few weeks to adjust. Start with soft foods and gradually introduce harder foods as you become more comfortable with your dentures. Chewing evenly on both sides can help improve stability.

How do I clean my dentures?

Dentures should be cleaned daily with a soft brush and a denture cleaner. Avoid using regular toothpaste, as it can be too abrasive. It is also essential to soak them overnight in a denture solution to maintain their shape and hygiene.

How much do dentures cost?

The cost of dentures in Halifax depends on the type of denture and materials used. See price list
