Dentures in Calgary

Dentures are removable restorations used to replace missing teeth. Complete dentures replace all teeth in an arch, while partial dentures replace some missing teeth when natural teeth remain.

Complete dentures are used when all natural teeth in the relevant arch are missing. Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain and a removable restoration is appropriate after assessment.

Only a dental assessment can determine whether dentures are appropriate. Suitability depends on missing teeth, remaining teeth, gum health, bite, oral health and your goals.

Uxbridge direct bills most dental insurance plans. Coverage for dentures depends on your plan, treatment and any applicable authorization requirements. Patients remain responsible for amounts not covered.
