What our Patient Think About Us?
Dentures in Burnaby: Complete, Partial & Immediate Options
Missing teeth can make everyday activities like speaking, eating, and smiling feel uncomfortable. At Burnaby Dentist & Orthodontist, we design custom dentures intended to support chewing function, comfort, and facial structure.
Each denture is designed based on clinical records and patient feedback to support fit, function, and appearance.
Our clinic offers complete dentures for full tooth replacement, partial dentures for patients missing several teeth, and immediate dentures for patients who prefer a denture placed at the time of extractions, when clinically appropriate.
Using digital imaging and modern materials, we aim to support fit and appearance; adjustments may be needed as tissues heal.
Our goal is to support chewing, speaking, and day-to-day comfort with dentures planned around your clinical needs.
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are custom-made to support fit and a lifelike appearance, based on clinical records and patient feedback. Each appliance is designed to match natural features, supporting the lips and cheeks and helping reduce facial changes associated with tooth loss.
Removable vs. Fixed Options
Most dentures are removable, making them easy to clean and maintain. For patients seeking added stability, fixed alternatives such as implant-supported restorations may be recommended. Your dentist will help determine which option best suits your oral health and goals.
Role in Maintaining Jaw and Facial Structure
When teeth are missing, the jawbone naturally begins to shrink over time. Dentures help support facial soft tissues and may help maintain facial profile after tooth loss.
Overdentures — The Hybrid Between Dentures and Implants
An overdenture is a modern option that fits securely over dental implants or retained natural roots, which may improve stability and retention and may help limit bone changes in some cases, depending on the support system used.

Types of Dentures We Offer in Burnaby
Invisalign® clear aligners aren’t right for everyone. The best way to find out is with a professional consultation—and Burnaby Dentist and Orthodontist offers complimentary consults. But if you’re wondering whether you might qualify, here are the most important factors:
Complete (Full) Dentures — For Full Arch Tooth Loss
Complete dentures replace all teeth in either the upper or lower arch. They rest directly on the gums and are carefully shaped for a secure, natural fit.
At Burnaby Dentist & Orthodontist, our experienced providers have used Invisalign® to address complex cases that might traditionally be referred for braces. Your personalized treatment plan will be based on detailed digital scans, making it possible to achieve precise, predictable results.
Immediate vs. Conventional Dentures
Immediate dentures may be placed at the time of extractions, when clinically appropriate. Conventional dentures are typically fitted after healing to support fit and comfort.
Partial Dentures — When Some Natural Teeth Remain
Partial dentures restore your smile when several natural teeth are still present. They fill the gaps using a custom acrylic or metal framework that clasps gently onto existing teeth.
Immediate Dentures — Dentures Placed at the Time of Extractions
Designed to provide instant results, immediate dentures are placed right after tooth removal. They help maintain your appearance and soft tissue structure as your mouth heals. This may help reduce time without teeth after extractions, depending on healing and fit.
As the gums and bone heal, adjustments or relining may be required to maintain comfort and fit.
Implant-Supported and Snap-In Dentures — Greater Stability and Comfort
Implant-supported dentures are anchored to dental implants to support improved retention and chewing function. Depending on your needs, they can be removable or fixed.
Snap-in dentures are removable implant-supported dentures that attach to implants for added retention.
Overdentures — Supported by Implants or Natural Roots
An overdenture is a hybrid solution that combines traditional dentures with modern implants, fitting securely over implant posts or natural tooth roots. Offered as part of our implant services in Burnaby, this design may improve stability and comfort and may help limit bone changes over time, depending on individual factors.
The Denture Process: What to Expect
At Burnaby Dentist & Orthodontist, we take a step-by-step approach to creating dentures that support fit, comfort, and function, guided by measurements and your feedback.
Step 1
Initial Consultation and Oral Health Assessment
Your journey begins with a comprehensive oral examination to evaluate gum health, bone structure, and any remaining teeth. During this visit, your dentist will discuss your goals, review available options (complete, partial, immediate, or implant-supported dentures), and recommend the best plan for your smile.
Step 2
Impressions, 3D Scanning, and Bite Records
Next, we use digital X-rays in Burnaby along with precise scans or impressions to capture the exact shape of your mouth and bite alignment. These detailed records help our team design a custom-fit denture that looks natural, feels secure, and maintains proper jaw balance.
Step 3
Try-In Wax Setup and Patient Feedback
Before your final denture is made, you'll preview a wax model setup that simulates the fit and appearance of your new teeth. This step lets you review the shape, colour, and bite, and share feedback before final fabrication begins.
Step 4
Final Denture Fabrication and Insertion
Once the design is approved, your denture is fabricated using materials selected based on clinical needs and aesthetics. During delivery, your dentist ensures the fit is precise, the bite feels natural, and you're comfortable with insertion and removal.
Step 5
Immediate Denture Insertion (If Extractions Are Same-Day)
For patients transitioning directly from natural teeth to dentures, immediate dentures are placed right after tooth removal. This allows you to maintain your smile without interruption while your gums heal beneath the appliance.
Step 6
Follow-Up Adjustments, Relining, and Rebasing
A few follow-up visits may be needed to fine-tune the fit as your mouth adjusts. Over time, dentures can be relined or rebased to maintain comfort and stability as natural tissues change.

Aftercare, Maintenance, and Longevity
Proper care is the key to keeping your dentures comfortable, functional, and long-lasting. With good hygiene habits and regular dental visits, dentures can last 7–10 years1 or more before needing replacement or major adjustments.
Daily Cleaning Techniques
Clean your dentures every day to remove plaque and prevent staining.
- Use a soft-bristled denture brush and non-abrasive cleaner (avoid regular toothpaste).
- Rinse your dentures after meals to remove food particles.
- Brush your gums, tongue, and palate to stimulate circulation and keep your mouth healthy.
Soaking Overnight and Handling Tips
Dentures should be kept moist at all times to maintain their shape.
- Soak them in a mild denture solution or plain water overnight.
- Always handle dentures over a towel or sink filled with water to prevent breakage if dropped.
- Avoid hot water, which can warp the acrylic base.
Relining, Rebasing, and Repair — When and Why
Over time, changes in your gums and bone can affect how your dentures fit.
- Relining: Adds new material to the inner surface for a better fit.
- Rebasing: Replaces the entire base while keeping the existing teeth.
- Repairs: Fix cracks or damage caused by wear or accidental drops.
Regular maintenance ensures your dentures remain secure and comfortable.
When to Replace Your Dentures
Signs it’s time to replace include:
- Looseness or poor fit even after relining
- Visible cracks, worn teeth, or discoloration
Discomfort or gum irritation - Noticeable changes in speech or bite alignment
Routine checkups and dental hygiene at Burnaby Dentist & Orthodontist allow us to monitor denture fit, make timely adjustments, and review function and comfort over time.

FAQs
How long do dentures last?
With proper care and regular adjustments, dentures typically last 7–10 years1. Over time, gum and bone changes may require relining or replacement for optimal comfort.
Are dentures comfortable to wear?
Many patients adjust well to dentures over time. Some initial soreness or bulkiness is common, and comfort often improves with adaptation and follow-up adjustments.
Can I sleep while wearing my dentures?
It's best to remove your dentures at night to allow your gums to rest and to clean the appliance. Soaking them overnight also keeps the material hydrated and maintains its shape.
Does insurance cover dentures?
Most dental insurance plans partially cover dentures, whether complete, partial, or immediate. Coverage varies by plan, and our team can help verify your benefits and submit pre-authorizations.
Can dentures be repaired or adjusted?
Yes. If your denture becomes loose, cracked, or uncomfortable, visit your dentist for an adjustment, reline, or repair. Avoid trying to fix it at home, as this may damage the appliance.
What if my dentures feel loose or don't fit well anymore?
Gum and bone shape can change over time, affecting the fit. A quick reline or replacement can restore stability and prevent irritation or sore spots.
