COST & COMPARISON
How much does dentures cost at Orangeville Smiles Dentistry?
Denture costs depend heavily on the type (full, partial, or implant-supported) and materials used, so Orangeville Smiles Dentistry typically discusses pricing in detail during a consultation. Published Canadian ranges for a full denture per arch often run from roughly $600 to $8,000, though your specific cost should be confirmed against the current ODA Fee Guide.
DENTURES VS. IMPLANT-SUPPORTED DENTURES
A traditional denture rests on the gums and is removable, while an implant-supported denture anchors to a small number of implants for extra stability. Traditional dentures generally cost less and require no surgery, but some patients find they shift while eating or speaking. Implant-supported options tend to feel more secure and preserve jawbone better over time, though they involve a longer process and additional cost.
RISKS & CONSIDERATIONS
What are the risks of dentures?
- Dentures may feel loose or cause minor irritation at first while your mouth adjusts, particularly in the first few weeks
- Chewing certain foods, like very sticky or hard items, can be more difficult than with natural teeth
- Over time, the jawbone can change shape, which may mean a denture needs relining or replacing periodically
- Poorly fitting dentures can occasionally lead to sore spots or, in rare cases, contribute to gum irritation if not adjusted
AFTERCARE
What does aftercare look like after dentures?
- Remove and rinse your denture after eating
- Clean it daily with a denture brush and mild cleanser
- Soak it overnight in water or a denture solution
- Give your gums a rest by leaving it out at night
- Book a follow-up if you notice sore spots or looseness
