About the Treatment
Custom Dentures in Gloucester, Ottawa
Dentures are removable appliances that replace missing teeth. At our denture clinic on Montreal Road, Dr. Kohila Kandasamy & Associates make dentures to fit your mouth and adjust them over several visits until they settle.
Which type suits you depends on how many natural teeth remain and on the health of your gums and any remaining teeth.
Complete Dentures
Replace all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw, for patients who have lost all their natural teeth.
Partial Dentures
Replace several missing teeth and keep the remaining natural teeth, attached with metal clasps or precision attachments.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Secured to dental implants for added stability, where implants are suitable.

What to Expect
Getting New Dentures
Getting dentures usually takes several appointments for impressions, fitting and adjustments.
-
Assessment and Options
We look at your mouth and any remaining teeth and go through whether complete, partial or implant-supported dentures suit your situation.
-
Impressions
Impressions of your mouth are taken so the denture can be made to fit.
-
Fitting
The denture is fitted and checked for fit, bite and appearance.
-
Adjustments
Dentures are adjusted over several visits until they settle. New dentures usually need more than one adjustment.
Looking After Your Dentures
- Take your dentures out and clean them every day, and clean your gums and any natural teeth.
- When they are out, keep them where they cannot dry out or be dropped.
- Do not try to adjust them yourself; call us if they rub, feel loose or crack.
