Dentures Near You
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are custom-made appliances to fill the spaces of missing teeth. They are made from materials like acrylic resin and sometimes metal. They are primarily divided into two types:
- Full Dentures: In case all of your teeth are absent in either the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both.
- Partial Dentures: These are used when you still have some natural teeth. The partial denture fills in the spaces where teeth are missing and keeps your remaining teeth from shifting.

Why You Might Need Dentures?
You might need dentures near you if:
- You lost several teeth due to cavities or periodontitis.
- Your remaining teeth are not strong enough to support chewing.
- You have trouble speaking clearly because of missing teeth.
- You feel self-conscious about your smile.
Missing teeth also affect the shape of your face; dentures help maintain a natural look to the face as well as support the lips and cheeks.
How We Make Dentures at Acreview Dental Clinic?
At Acreview Dental Clinic, we design the dentures in such a way that they are comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. This includes:
- Exam and impressions: We start with a dental exam and take impressions (moulds) of your mouth to measure your bite and jaw shape.
- Custom design: Our dental lab uses the impressions to create dentures that match your mouth, teeth size, and colour.
- Fitting and adjustments: Once the dentures are ready, we place them in your mouth and make sure they fit well. We may need to make small adjustments for comfort.
With proper care, dentures can last many years. Our dentist in Courtenay also teaches you how to clean and care for them at home.
