Frequently Asked Questions

How do Lower Suction dentures work so well?

 

Lower Suction Dentures (SEMCD) achieve their secure fit by starting with a precise, detailed impression of your gums. This allows the denture to mirror every natural contour of your lower jaw, creating a tight seal and strong suction that keeps the denture firmly in place, whether you’re talking, eating, or smiling.

Using the latest materials and techniques, these dentures are carefully crafted to provide a natural look and comfortable function. Best of all, they require no surgery, no implants, and no messy adhesives, even for clients with very low gums.

Is there a way to secure my full lower denture without implants?

 
For the clients who are not able to secure their dentures with dental implants we offer SEMCD or Lower Suction dentures. This revolutionary new technique allows us to create air-tight seal around the denture border which prevents lower denture from lifting and floating in the mouth.
 

How do I know that I will like my new dentures?

 
Before your dentures are finished, you will have a “Try In” appointment. During that appointment we will check your bite, denture fit, make sure that you are able to speak properly. We will also make sure that you are 100% happy with how your new smile looks. And if at any point during your “Try In” appointment you would like to make any changes to your dentures, no matter how big or small, we will make any adjustments necessary. We will re-try the dentures after the changes are made, to make sure that you are 100% satisfied with the final result.
 

How long does it take to make the dentures?

 

On average, it takes 3 to 5 appointments to complete a set of dentures. The exact timeline depends on the type of denture you need and how frequently you’re able to attend appointments. In most cases, the process takes about 1.5 to 3.5 weeks from start to finish.

This step-by-step approach ensures your dentures fit comfortably, function properly, and look natural before they’re finalized.

What are denture implants and what are the benefits?

 
Denturists are Implant denture specialists. For teeth replacement the preferred method is dentures supported by implants. Surgical screws are implanted directly into the bone similar to how real teeth work. This provides the base for the dentures to connect with, which provides security and comfort when chewing or talking. The titanium in implants help stimulate bone growth, great news for denture wearers! The cost of these implants has become very affordable. Consult our office to discover how dental implants will improve the quality of your life!
 

How do I clean my dentures?

 

To keep your dentures clean and in good condition, it’s important to follow a proper daily routine:

  • Clean thoroughly at night using cold water, mild liquid soap, and a firm denture brush.

  • Avoid hot water — it can warp your dentures.

  • Never use toothpaste on dentures, as it is abrasive and can scratch the material.

  • Use a separate toothbrush and regular toothpaste to clean any natural teeth, as well as your tongue and gums.

  • At night, remove your dentures and place them in a denture bath filled with water or denture cleaner to keep them fresh and bacteria-free.

How long do dentures last?

 

On average, dentures last 5–10 years before needing to be replaced.

Over time, dentures naturally wear down, stain, and lose their fit as your mouth and gums continue to change shape. Even though your natural teeth are gone, your oral tissues are always evolving, which can affect the comfort and function of your dentures.

To keep your dentures working their best, you may need a reline, rebase, or a full remake at some point. Scheduling an annual check-up with us is the best way to extend their lifespan, maintain a proper fit, and prevent potential problems.
