Need dentures in Scarborough? Restore not just your teeth, but your confidence and quality of life. At Smilestry, Dr. Guerra provides high-quality denture solutions that look remarkably natural, fit comfortably, and function effectively when you’re missing multiple teeth or all teeth. Modern dentures have evolved dramatically — today’s prosthetics use advanced materials and precise fabrication for superior fit, durability, and aesthetics that restore your smile beautifully.
Dentures are custom removable prosthetic devices that replace missing teeth and surrounding tissue. Whether you need complete dentures to replace all teeth or partial dentures to fill gaps while preserving remaining natural teeth, Smilestry creates tailored solutions that match your unique anatomy. For patients seeking maximum stability and confidence, we also offer implant-supported dentures that combine implant security with comprehensive coverage — no slipping, no adhesive required.
Restore Your Smile Dentures dramatically improve your appearance by filling out facial contours and recreating a natural-looking smile. With properly fitted dentures, you’ll look and feel more like yourself again.
Improve Eating Ability Missing teeth severely limit food choices and nutrition. Dentures restore your ability to chew effectively, allowing you to enjoy a wider variety of foods and maintain proper nutritional intake.
Enhance Speech Missing teeth can affect pronunciation and make speech difficult. Dentures restore proper tongue positioning and lip support, improving clarity and confidence when speaking.
Support Facial Structure When teeth are missing, facial muscles sag, creating a prematurely aged appearance. Dentures provide support that maintains facial contours and prevents the sunken look associated with tooth loss.
Custom Comfort Modern dentures are designed with your comfort in mind. Dr. Guerra creates dentures that fit securely, minimize irritation, and feel as natural as possible throughout daily wear.
Step 1: Initial Consultation Dr. Guerra examines your oral health, discusses your needs and expectations, and explains denture options. If any remaining teeth need extraction, we develop a treatment plan that coordinates all necessary procedures.
Step 2: Precise Impressions We take detailed impressions of your mouth to ensure your dentures fit perfectly. These impressions capture the unique contours of your gums and jaw, forming the foundation for comfortable, well-fitting dentures.
Step 3: Customization Process Your dentures are carefully crafted in a dental lab using high-quality materials. We select tooth color and shape to create natural-looking results that complement your facial features and personal preferences.
Step 4: Try-In and Adjustments Before your final dentures are completed, you’ll try in a wax model to check fit, appearance, and comfort. This allows us to make any adjustments needed before the permanent dentures are created.
Step 5: Final Delivery and Follow-Up Your completed dentures are delivered with detailed care instructions. Dr. Guerra ensures proper fit and makes any immediate adjustments needed. Follow-up appointments allow us to address comfort and make refinements as you adapt.
Our friendly team is here to help with anything you need — from insurance questions to treatment details.
Most patients need a few weeks to fully adjust to dentures. You may experience increased saliva production, minor soreness, and difficulty with speech or eating initially. These challenges typically resolve as you adapt to wearing dentures.
With proper care, dentures typically last 5-7 years. Over time, normal wear, gum recession, and bone changes can affect fit. Regular check-ups help ensure your dentures continue fitting properly and functioning well.
Traditional dentures rest on your gums and may require adhesive. Implant-supported dentures attach to dental implants surgically placed in your jaw, providing superior stability, comfort, and chewing power. They don’t slip or require adhesive.
Generally, dentists recommend removing dentures at night to give your gum tissue time to rest and recover. This also allows you to clean both your dentures and your mouth thoroughly. Dr. Guerra will provide specific guidance for your situation.
Clean dentures daily with a soft brush and denture cleaner (never regular toothpaste). Remove and rinse after eating. Store in water or denture solution when not wearing them. Regular dental check-ups ensure continued fit and health.
