Dentures in North York
Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth — full dentures when all teeth in an arch are missing, and partial dentures when some natural teeth remain. At Smile Avenue Dentistry in North York, dentures are planned after an examination of your gums, bone and remaining teeth, then fitted over a series of appointments so they sit securely and work with your bite. The clinic welcomes CDCP patients. Call (416) 250-5354 to book an assessment.
Replacing missing teeth matters for eating, speech, support for the shape of your face, and to keep remaining teeth from drifting. An assessment comes first, to see whether teeth can be preserved or whether replacement is the right path.

Denture Care at Smile Avenue
Caring for your dentures helps them last and keeps your mouth comfortable. Clean them daily, remove them at night unless advised otherwise, handle them over a soft surface, and keep them moist when they are not in your mouth. Keep up with regular checkups — your gums and bone change over time, so relines are a normal part of denture life.
Types of Dentures
Full (Complete) Dentures
Full dentures replace a complete upper or lower arch.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures fill gaps while your remaining natural teeth stay in place.
Immediate Dentures
Immediate dentures are made in advance and placed the same day teeth are removed; adjusted and relined as the gums change during healing.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures clip onto implants for added stability. Learn more about dental implants.
Choosing the Right Denture
Choosing the right denture depends on the number of missing teeth, the health of your gums and bone, whether your remaining teeth are strong enough to support a partial denture, how much daily care you prefer, and whether an implant-supported option suits you. Your dentist will talk through those factors with you before recommending a plan.

FAQs
Who is a good candidate for dentures?
Anyone missing several or all teeth in an arch whose gums and bone can support a denture; the assessment confirms which type fits.
What happens during the denture process, and how many visits will I need?
Usually several appointments: examination, impressions, a try-in, delivery, and follow-up adjustments.
How do I care for dentures, and how long can they last?
Clean daily, store moist, regular checkups. With care a set serves for years; relines or replacement become necessary as your mouth changes.
Will dentures change how I eat or speak?
An adjustment period is normal: start with soft foods cut small, practise reading aloud; most patients adapt within a few weeks.
What is the difference between full, partial and immediate dentures?
Full replace a whole arch; partials fill gaps between remaining teeth; immediate dentures are placed the same day teeth are removed and adjusted during healing.
Are dentures covered by the CDCP?
