Candidates for Dentures
Did you know that around one-quarter of adults over the age of 65 are missing all of their teeth? Dentures are a common and respectable solution to missing teeth. They are so dependable and natural-looking that you’ve probably spoken to someone with dentures and didn’t even know it. Do you think you might be a good candidate for dentures?
- Wish to replace several or all of your teeth.
- Not smoke or use other tobacco products.
- Have a healthy jawbone (we can help you with this!).
- Not suffer from dry mouth.
- Be prepared to take good care of your dentures at home.
- Continue to visit the dentist for routine exams – just like with natural teeth!
To be a good candidate for this restorative treatment you should:
How do I take care of my dentures? Take care of your dentures with routine cleanings and examinations. Even patients with perfect prosthetics need to visit their dentist from time to time. During your visit, we will take a look at your dentures and how they’re fitting and we will also examine your gums, tongue, jaw and mouth inside and out. In short-- we care about your oral health. Not just your teeth.
- Remove dentures overnight to let your mouth rest.
- Soak dentures in warm water with or without denture cleanser.
- Do not soak dentures with metal clasps in anything but warm water.
- When not wearing dentures, keep them in water so they don’t dry out and warp.
- DO NOT soak in hot water.
- With dentures removed, clean and massage your gums.
- If your toothbrush hurts your gums, run it under warm water or try using a finger wrapped in a clean damp cloth.
- If you have partial dentures, brush your natural teeth as usual.

Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and, most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.
Frequently Asked Questions
Dental bridges can be used to restore a gap caused by 1 to 3 missing teeth. Any number of missing teeth can be restored using dental implants. Dental implants typically have a higher initial investment cost and certain health requirements to qualify as a candidate for treatment.
With routine care and maintenance, your dentures should be good for 5 - 10 years. Aside from wear and tear on the dentures themselves, your mouth also changes over time and you may eventually decide it’s best to get fitted for a completely new set.
Yes, you can wear your dentures to bed but its recommended that you don’t. You should get into the habit of taking them out at night to soak so you can clean your mouth, gums and remaining natural teeth and then give your gums and jaw a chance to rest.
Your top dentures should suction to your gums. Your bottom dentures float above your gums but stay in place easily. Partial dentures should stay in line with natural teeth without moving very much. Implant-supported dentures snap in place and remain stable. If you’re questioning the fit of your denture, you are welcome to book an appointment so we can check your fit and make adjustments as needed.
After you’ve had some time to adjust to your dentures you should be able to eat almost anything. There are some foods that are hard on your dentures or that might cause rubbing or irritation. Foods that are hard or sticky like caramel, carrot sticks or a tough cut of meat or foods that contain little particles like popcorn or seeded crackers might present some challenge and should perhaps be enjoyed only as an occasional treat.

I love this clinic. I go there for my regular cleanings and everybody is so nice there. The manager Puneet is very knowledgeable and polite. She always makes sure that every person feels welcomed and keeps a check on all the appointments. Cindy is my favourite hygienist. She is equally patient and detail oriented. She keeps me calm and interact with me during my hygiene appointments. Dr Maleki is a very good dentist. He took very good care of my younger daughter and completed all her fillings with such ease. By far the best clinic. 5 stars!!!

Me and my family have recently started going to this dental office and it is by far one of the best offices we have been to. Overall had a great experience! Dr. Maleki is an awesome dentist, very knowledgeable, he makes you feel comfortable, takes his time with you, addresses all of your concerns, and explains everything in a way that is easy to understand while providing you with the best possible treatment options. Puneet is very kind, sweet and welcoming, she works the front desk and answers all of your questions with ease. Insurance billings are direct and easy to understand, booking appointments couldn't be any easier and she's great at reminding you of your appointments always. Cindy is a great hygienist, best one I've ever had. She's kind, understanding, patient and takes her time with you, while providing you with comfortable pain free cleanings and her attention to detail is amazing! The dentist and staff are all super friendly, respectful and make you feel at ease everytime. HIGHLY recommend!!!

My first experience at this location was absolutely delightful. God knows I've had my fair share of bad dentists in my life. Dr. Maleki made me feel very relaxed and comfortable all throughout the procedure. This was a brand new and refreshing experience for me. He did an amazing job and the staff are just as nice and friendly. Since my visit I've switched from my old dentist to Dr. Maleki and I can't see myself going anywhere else.
