Is a Complete Denture Right for You?
A complete denture (also called a full denture) replaces every tooth in one jaw. It is the right choice when you have already lost all your teeth in an arch, or when the few teeth you have left are too weak, loose or damaged to keep. Patients in Guelph usually come to us for one of these reasons:
- You have no teeth left in your upper or lower jaw and want your first denture.
- Your current full denture is old, worn, loose or uncomfortable.
- You need your remaining teeth removed and do not want to go a single day without teeth.
- You want a smile that looks more natural than your current denture.
Two Ways to Get a Full Denture
The right path depends on whether you still have teeth that need to come out.
| Conventional complete denture | Immediate denture | |
|---|---|---|
| When it is made | After your gums have healed from extractions | Before your teeth are removed |
| Days without teeth | Possible while healing | None – placed the same day |
| Try-in before it is finished | Yes, full try-in of teeth | Limited |
| Follow-up | Normal adjustments | More adjustments and a reline after healing |
| Best for | Patients with no remaining teeth or healed gums | Patients who still have teeth to remove |

How We Make Your Complete Denture in Guelph
Consultation & oral exam
We listen to what you want to change and check your gums, jaw ridges and bite. See our oral examination.
Detailed impressions
Precise impressions capture the shape of your gums so the denture base sits evenly and stays stable.
Bite & tooth selection
We record how your jaws meet and choose the size, shape and shade of teeth that suit your face.
Try-in
You see and feel your new teeth before the denture is finished, and we adjust until you are happy.
Delivery & follow-up
We fit your denture, show you how to care for it and see you again to fine-tune any sore spots.
A Smile Designed for Your Face
A complete denture does more than replace teeth. It supports your lips and cheeks, restores the height of your bite and shapes how your face looks when you smile and talk. That is why we take time to choose:
- Tooth shade that looks natural with your skin tone and age.
- Tooth shape and size in proportion to your face and lips.
- Gum-coloured base that blends naturally.
- Bite height that gives your face back its natural support.
You approve the look at the try-in, before your denture is finished.
Complete Dentures and the CDCP in Guelph
The Canadian Dental Care Plan covers standard complete dentures once per arch every 8 years, without preauthorization. Immediate dentures are also covered once per arch every 8 years, with preauthorization, which we prepare for you. Depending on your family income, the CDCP pays 100%, 60% or 40% of its fee guide. We confirm what you will pay before we start.
Not covered by the CDCP? We also accept private dental insurance and ODSP, and we give you a clear written quote at your free consultation.
Your First Weeks With a New Full Denture
Most people need a few weeks to get used to a new complete denture. Lower dentures usually take longer than upper ones because the tongue and cheeks move them. Start with soft foods, chew on both sides at once, and come back for adjustments instead of putting up with sore spots. Our guide Eating With New Dentures has a day-by-day plan.
If your lower denture still moves after you have adapted, ask us about converting it to an implant-supported denture.
Complete Dentures in Guelph: Your Questions
How many appointments does a complete denture take?
Usually several visits over a few weeks: consultation and exam, impressions, bite records, a try-in and the final fitting, plus follow-up adjustments. We give you a timeline at your consultation.
Can I get a full denture on the same day my teeth are removed?
Yes, with an immediate denture. It is made before the extractions and placed right after, so you are never without teeth.
Will my new complete denture look natural?
We choose the shade, shape and size of the teeth to suit your face, and you approve them at the try-in before the denture is finished.
Does the CDCP cover complete dentures in Guelph?
Yes. Standard complete dentures are covered once per arch every 8 years without preauthorization. The amount depends on your family income.
