Dentures Near You
We understand that it takes a lot to even begin the conversation to see if dentures may be right for you. Our kind and caring team is here to help. The three sister dentists just want you to feel comfortable as if you’re one of the family when you come to Le Family Dental.
If you are considering dentures, you may already be aware that they are special oral appliances given to patients missing multiple or all their teeth. The base is often made from acrylic, while the artificial teeth are created from porcelain.

Reasons for Missing Teeth
Despite what the film industry may say, dentures were not created as a comedic prop. They were made to repair gaps in smiles, and, to this day, dentures remain a reliable solution. By employing their expertise and the latest techniques, our dentists in Calgary will devise a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Your dentures will last for a number of years before needing repair, and they will fit your mouth alone.
With all that said, patients can suffer tooth loss due to:
- Aging
- Advanced gum disease
- Sports injuries
- Oral trauma
Regardless of how you choose to move forward, filling in gaps left behind by missing teeth is essential. Otherwise, your healthy teeth will shift to occupy the space, negatively impacting your bite pattern and putting necessary strain on your jaw.
Dental implants can be installed prior to your dentures. These small screws will fuse with your jaw, creating a solid base for your entire smile.
Types of Dentures Available
At Le Family Dental, we offer:
- Partial: A partial denture is often likened to a dental bridge because this prosthetic can span across multiple gaps. Dentists suggest this type of denture to patients with some healthy teeth.
- Complete: Complete dentures are used to restore a patient’s whole smile. They can be placed on the very day you come in, or they can be placed later.
- Fixed: A fixed denture means the appliance is secured to the jaw via dental implants.
- Removable: These are the opposite of fixed dentures. Patients can take their dentures out to eat, for example, but the main downside is that they can slip around inside your mouth.
