Complete Dentures
As the name suggests, complete dentures are full dentures for your upper and/ or lower jaws. With time, denture teeth will wear, the supporting tissue and bone will change, altering the bite, fit and function of your dentures. Getting new dentures every 5-7 years optimizes the fit and function, helping maintain overall health with a healthier diet. Maintenance is critical for long-term success as a denture wearer.
​
We advise you to stay in touch with your Denturist once the dentures are fitted. Adjusting to the dentures could take a bit of time; some oral irritations may occur during initial usage. Adjustments are normal and are done at no charge for the first 6 months after receiving new dentures.
Come in for a free consultation to see what your options may be.
Here are a few things you should follow after getting a denture:
Do not try to adjust your dentures by yourself.
Contact your Denturist if you feel any irritation or discomfort.
Benefits of Complete Dentures:
Restores the ability to eat, speak, and smile comfortably.
Supports facial structure and reduces a sunken appearance.
Customized for a balanced bite and improved function.
Non-surgical and widely accessible.
Removable for easier cleaning and maintenance.
Additional care and attention are required to design dentures with a perfect fit. For complete dentures, our Denturists will carry out extensive measurements of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). This helps us in creating dentures that replicate natural jaw movements. These types of dentures are perfect for people who have lost all their natural teeth. With premium complete dentures, patients can carry on daily activities like speaking, eating, laughing, and smiling with ease.
Adapting to New Dentures: What to Expect
Adapting to dentures is a process that varies from person to person. While initial discomfort is common, most patients adjust within a few weeks as the muscles in the cheeks and tongue learn to support and stabilize the appliance.
During the first few days, you may experience:
Minor soreness or pressure points.
Increased saliva production.
Temporary difficulty with speech or chewing.
Our team provides post-insertion check-ups to make timely adjustments, helping improve fit and relieve any discomfort. We also offer guidance on dietary modifications and oral care habits during the adjustment period. For example, eating soft foods, cutting items into smaller pieces, and practising speech at home can support a smoother transition.
​
If you’ve recently received dentures in Kelowna or are preparing for your first set, our team at Mission Denture Centre aims to make the adjustment period manageable by offering detailed instructions, follow-up care, and accessible support. Whether you’ve received full, partial, or immediate dentures, our goal is to ensure your appliance functions effectively and supports your daily routine.
Immediate Dentures
Immediate dentures are dentures made in conjunction with extractions. For most people, the dentures can be made prior to having extractions and inserted at the time of extraction. These dentures act as a splint (bandage) and will help control bleeding, promote the healing process, as well as let you have your appearance. These dentures will require maintenance throughout the first year to assist with the considerable change that occurs to the bone after extractions. Temporary linings followed by a processed lining will be necessary to preserve the fit and the bite. The first temporary lining is included in the original fee per immediate denture.
​
If extractions are done prior to having the dentures made, you will still require the temporary lining and reline maintenance. We can start making the dentures once all the sutures are no longer present.
​
Our denturists will help you track your progress and suggest the best time to come in for these linings.
​
Benefits of Immediate Dentures:
Maintains appearance directly after extractions.
Supports healing and protects extraction sites.
Allows continued function during recovery.
Helps patients adapt to dentures earlier.
Enables speech and basic chewing soon after surgery.

Soft Linings for Lower Dentures
For patients with a poor lower ridge, a soft lining will provide an added degree of comfort. This silicone-based material is incorporated into the lower denture at the time of processing and will not come out. This durable lining has proven very popular over the years, and patients who have experienced the soft liner in their lower dentures are typically very pleased with the additional comfort achieved.

Name Insertions
The patient's name can be inserted into any denture, new or old.
Moving into a long-term care home? You may want to consider having this done.
Taking Care of Your Immediate Dentures
There are some cases where you cannot try dentures before tooth extraction. In such cases, it is best to follow the post-operative instructions given by your Denturist. Temporary linings are generally advised for a better fit in the mouth. Here is a list of instructions that you should follow:
Do not forget to get regular check-ups for a comfortable fit of dentures and ideal healing.
Get a permanent relining once your gums have healed.
You might be required to get new measurements for fixing or making a new denture.
Partial Dentures
If you are missing a few of your teeth, you may need a partial denture. In such cases, the Denturist will design a removable prosthesis to replace the teeth that are missing. These appliances are designed to be in harmony with the teeth using metal clasping for retention, making them strong and light. These dentures can be removed to allow for cleaning and regular brushing of the remaining teeth. Having a partial denture to fill in the spaces of missing teeth will help retain the remaining teeth. A full complement of teeth, with natural and denture teeth, will always function better for eating, appearance, and maintaining overall oral and physical health.
It is advisable to have your partial dentures checked periodically, as it may be necessary to tighten the clasps. They will loosen with time and usage. Get in touch with us should you start experiencing any issues of looseness or discomfort.

Benefits of Partial Dentures:
Helps chew without any issues.
Helps prevent the existing teeth from decaying and shifting.
Helps in preventing jaw joint issues.
Allows you to speak and smile comfortably.
Provides an inexpensive way to replace broken teeth.
Doesn’t require crowning teeth to fit partial dentures.
It is advisable to get your partial dentures checked periodically at intervals of 12 months. This is necessary as loose partial dentures can cause problems like sores and may even damage existing teeth. Get in touch with us immediately if you start feeling discomfort for an extended period.
