Dentures in Markham

Your smile is an important aspect of your overall appearance, but missing teeth can make it difficult to feel confident in your smile. At Eastvale Dentistry in Markham, we offer denture services to help you regain the look and function of a natural smile. Here are some of the benefits of quality dentures:

The Benefits Of A Quality Denture

  • Improved chewing ability: With dentures, you can improve your ability to chew food properly, which can lead to better digestion and overall health.
  • Enhanced nutrition: A better diet is another benefit of dentures, as you will be able to eat a wider variety of foods that you may have avoided due to difficulty chewing.
  • Improved speech: Dentures can help you speak more clearly and confidently, as missing teeth can make it difficult to form certain sounds.
  • Increased self-confidence: With a natural-looking smile, you can feel more confident in social situations and improve your self-esteem.



  • Durability and longevity: Quality dentures are designed to be durable and long-lasting, so you won't need to worry about frequent replacements.
  • Cost-effective: Dentures are a cost-effective solution for missing teeth compared to other dental treatments.
  • Improved cleanliness: Dentures are easy to clean and maintain, which can help prevent oral health problems such as gum disease and tooth decay.
  • Relief from pain: Dentures can help alleviate pain associated with TMJ, facial pain, and headaches.
  • Cosmetic options: Cosmetic dentures can help you regain the look, feel, and function of a natural smile, improving your quality of life.


Denture Pre-Visit Instructions

What You Should Do Before Your Denture Appointment

Preparing for your denture appointment can help ensure a successful experience. Here are some pre-visit instructions to follow:

Food

  • Eat breakfast and lunch as you normally would on the day of your appointment unless you will be taking any sedation medications.

Medications

  • Take all your normal medications as directed unless advised otherwise by your doctor or dentist. Inform your dentist of any recent changes in your medications or health status.

Clothing

  • Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to your appointment.
  • Avoid light colors and white tops to prevent visible staining.
  • Minimal or no makeup is recommended.
  • Avoid high heels and colored/gel nail polish.
  •  Remove contact lenses and all jewelry, especially from the tongue, lip, or nose.

Getting a New Denture

Getting used to new dentures can take some time, but with patience and practice, you can adjust to them quickly. Here are some tips to help:


  • Set realistic goals: Dentures require a period of adjustment in the beginning. It's important to have realistic expectations and give yourself time to adjust.
  • Practice: It will take a few tries to get used to taking your dentures in and out comfortably. Practice in front of a mirror to help you get comfortable.
  • Experiment with Denture Adhesives: You can try different denture adhesives that can be purchased at your local pharmacy to help secure your dentures and prevent them from slipping or moving.
  • Post-Insertion Visits: Several post-insertion visits with your dentist or denturist can be expected to monitor your progress, ensure proper fit, and make any necessary adjustments. It is important to attend all of your follow-up appointments to ensure the success of your treatment.
  • Dentures are a Process: Adjusting to dentures is a process that takes time and patience. You may experience some discomfort or difficulty with speaking and eating during the first few weeks, but it will gradually improve with time.
