Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Suction dentures cost?

The average price in Ontario for a Lower Suction Denture is ~$3,700. Lower Suction dentures provide a more affordable alternative to dental implants and do not require constant application of denture adhesives (which could add additional costs). They are designed to provide a comfortable and accurate fit and require less adjustment appointments that other denture alternatives.

How are Lower Suction Dentures made?

Lower suction dentures are created from an accurate impression technique that records the soft tissue and bone structure of a patient’s oral cavity. While the patient has the impression device in their mouth, they will make specific sounds, movements, and shapes with their jaw in order to ensure a perfect fit and strong suction. A Lower Suction denture process also involves a trial run after fabrication to check for any necessary adjustments that need to be made.

What does SEMCD stand for?

SEMCD (Suction Effective Mandibular Complete Denture) is a technical acronym for Suction dentures.

How do Suction dentures work?

Suction dentures do not require implants or adhesives and rely strictly on suction to comfortably stay in place. The Lower Suction denture fabrication process involves creating an accurate impression that captures the natural shape of a patient’s oral cavity, which results in a perfect seal that allows suction to keep them in place.

Who is a good candidate for Suction dentures?

Most denture patients are eligible for Suction dentures, excluding those who have recently had teeth extracted from their lower jaw. Even if you’re unable to get full suction, a Suction denture can still be a very stable and comfortable denture option with partial suction.

How long do Lower Suction dentures last?

Like other kinds of more traditional dentures, Suction dentures do not last forever. Changes in your gums and jaw typically change the way your dentures fit. You will need to get your Suction dentures relined every 1 to 3 years or more depending on your personal case. Eventually, as with all other dentures, your Lower Suction dentures will have to be replaced every 7 to 10 years.

Can you remove Lower Suction dentures?

One of the many advantages of Lower Suction dentures is that they can be put on and removed at the wearer’s convenience. While they stay firmly in place and don’t come out accidentally, many patients periodically remove their dentures for moments of comfort and relaxation. The ability to remove Lower Suction dentures also means they can be easily cleaned at your convenience.

How are Lower Suction dentures fitted?

The impression process for Lower Suction dentures is slightly different than for traditional dentures. During the impression process, the denturist will have the patient make specific sounds and movements while the impression material is in their mouth. This is done so that the impression material captures movements needed to keep them in place. After the impression process, the denturist creates the dentures for the patient. Once it is ready, all you have to do is start wearing them and enjoy your new set of teeth!

What is the main advantage of Lower Suction dentures?

Lower Suction dentures are ideal for those who wear dentures and have issues with them lifting or floating, as well as those suffering with bone loss in the lower jaw. Lower Suction dentures use suction to keep the dentures comfortably and reliably in place, allowing for a much more pleasant denture experience. Suction dentures are more affordable than other alternatives such as Implant dentures while still giving great results.
