Our Milton, Ontario, team is pleased to answer your questions about what contributes to quality dentures and the type of appliances you will forget you are wearing!
Why do so many people complain about dentures?
Many common complaints associated with dentures are rooted in a poor fit. The dentures must be stable to promote good chewing, speech, and other functions. It should conform well to the natural tissues in your jaw. The denture tends to slip around when it doesn’t fit well on these tissues. This can result in pain, irritation, sores, and even damage as the denture rubs up against the inside of the mouth. Ill-fitting dentures also leave you vulnerable to embarrassing social situations, such as slip-ups when presenting or enjoying a night out with friends. Of course, dentures that don’t “stay put” are also a pain when eating. Eating can be such a hassle that you may refrain from many foods and not get the nutrition your whole body needs for fuel.
How do your quality dentures prevent these complications?
We prioritize a secure fit. The fitting process is not rushed. During your fitting, Dr. Jameela Jifri and associates will do everything they can to confirm that your dentures conform securely to the gums. When dentures conform well, comfort and healthy function follow.

How should dentures feel?
Like nothing! They should just become part of your mouth, unlike the gummy tissue or the supportive bone in your jaw. With high-quality, precision-fit dentures, you should not experience any embarrassing or painful slipping and sliding. There shouldn’t be any pinching as you chew or speak. The edges of your appliance should be nice and smooth. They will not rub against and irritate the cheeks and gumline.
What materials are used to make quality dentures?
So many high-performance are on the market today, including plastic, acrylic, porcelain, and metals. A combination of materials may be used to design your perfect set. Before delivering your new teeth, the Scott and Derry Dental Care team will ensure that these materials come together to look like real teeth, not “fake” or “plastic.” The color-matching should be impeccable and complement your skin tone and other features. We will also ensure your denture is free of imperfections or hairline cracks and confirm that the teeth are uniform and evenly placed. Of course, it’s not unusual for even the most exceptional dentures to feel slightly strange initially. But our Milton, ON team can also help with that adjustment period!
