October Is Denturist Awareness Month
October is Denturist Awareness month.
At our clinic in Ottawa, we know that replacing your original teeth with dentures is about more than simply trusting someone with your smile.
We specialize in the design, fabrication, installation and ongoing care of different types of dentures.
Denturist vs Dentist: What is the Difference?
Unlike dentists, who can treat a great array of dental issues, denturists are specialized dental care providers.
Whatever your denture-related needs are, your friendly Ottawa denturist, Yevgeniy, has you covered.
Ottawa South Denture Clinic offers a variety of dentures, from complete dentures and partial dentures to implant dentures and much more.

Upon arrival to our clinic, you will be seen by our denturist, Yevgeniy, who will go through your oral health condition and medical history.
This is what you can expect from your denturist’s oral assessment:
- Gum and remaining teeth examination

- Denture cleaning
Depending on the outcome, your Ottawa denturist will recommend the course of dentures that suits you best.
Needless to say, we will happily answer any and all of your questions about dentures and the denture process. We believe that everybody should be aware of their oral condition and fully understand the suggested denture option(s) presented.
At Ottawa South Denture Clinic we allow plenty of time with every client to ensure they receive the best possible service.
How Long Do Dentures Last?
The average lifespan of a denture is generally between 5 and 10 years.
Like real teeth, dentures will wear and stain over. On top of that, your mouth and gums will change over time.
That being said, your dentures might need adjustments, relines (re-fitting), or even replacement. To prevent unexpected surprises, you should visit your denturist at the Ottawa South Denture Clinic at least once a year. Regular check-ups will help maximize the life of your appliances.
