Dentures at Dentistry on Ridgeway

Missing teeth can affect more than just your appearance—they can make eating difficult, impact your speech, and take a toll on your self-esteem. At Dentistry on Ridgeway, we offer custom-crafted dentures designed to restore your smile, support your facial structure, and help you live life with confidence. Whether you’re missing several teeth or a full arch, we serve patients throughout Fonthill, Welland, and the Niagara region with compassionate, personalized care.

What are Dentures?

Dentures are removable prosthetic devices that replace missing teeth and surrounding gum tissue. They are custom-made in a dental lab from high-quality, durable materials such as acrylic resin, porcelain, or composite, and are designed to match the shape, size, and colour of your natural teeth. Modern dentures are lightweight, stable, and aesthetically pleasing, offering a functional and attractive smile solution.

What Can Dentures Help With?

Dentures are an excellent solution for:

  • Replacing multiple missing teeth or full arches: A customized solution that restores both appearance and functionality, designed to fit your unique oral anatomy for a natural look and comfortable feel.
  • Restoring your ability to chew and speak clearly: Enjoy a varied, nutritious diet and communicate with confidence—without worrying about how missing teeth might impact your speech or eating.
  • Supporting facial muscles to prevent a sunken appearance: Helps preserve your natural facial contours by supporting the structure of your lips and cheeks, maintaining a more youthful appearance.
  • Improving your smile aesthetics and facial contour: Restores harmony to your smile and fills out your face with custom-crafted teeth that look authentic and complement your features.
  • Orthodontic care offers both aesthetic and functional benefits:
  • Improved Smile Appearance: Straighter teeth enhance confidence and self-esteem.

The Denture Treatment Process

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation and assessment, where we perform a thorough oral examination, discuss your goals, and determine the best type of denture for your needs, budget, and lifestyle. From there, we take precise impressions and measurements of your gums and any remaining teeth to ensure a comfortable and accurate fit. We then work closely with you during the design and try-in phase to select the shape, size, and shade of your new teeth, using a wax or trial denture so you can preview your smile and make adjustments before final fabrication.

Are Dentures Right for You?

You may be a good candidate for dentures if:

  • You are missing several or all of your teeth in one or both arches
  • You are looking for a non-surgical or removable tooth replacement option
  • Your gums and any remaining teeth are healthy (or any needed extractions are completed)
  • You want an affordable way to restore your smile and function
  • You are committed to proper denture care and maintenance

Caring for Your Dentures

Proper care ensures your dentures last and your mouth stays healthy. Remove and rinse your dentures after eating to remove food debris. Brush your dentures daily with a soft-bristled brush and non-abrasive cleaner. Soak your dentures overnight in water or a denture solution to keep them moist. Continue to brush your gums, tongue, and any remaining natural teeth daily. Schedule regular dental checkups for professional cleaning and fit adjustments.
