Everyday, our Calgary denture clinic welcomes a wide variety of beautiful smiles. Each patient have a unique medical history and different oral health expectations. Despite these distinct differences in personalities and needs, our patients share one thing in common: a tremendous desire to gather more information about how dentures will impact their lifestyle. Here is a list of the frequently asked\u00a0questions\u00a0at our clinic:<\/p>\n
There is no denying that the adjustment period varies from individual to individual. We cannot accurately predict how sore or uncomfortable the first few days will be for each first-time patient. Despite some people having negative experiences with their dentures, it is important for you to have an open mind and to remain positive about your personal outcome. A positive attitude is often the key to a quicker recovery. We always welcome questions- our goal is to provide answers based on medical research and statistics.<\/p>\n
Our staff works hard to ensure that your denture fits properly. We want you to be as comfortable as possible. In some cases, patients could develop pressure points or sore spots during the adjustment period. Our denture pros, Curtis and Sam, can do minor adjustments that can rectify the problem and quickly bring added relief.<\/p>\n
Dentures can potentially affect your speech, but this is mostly temporary. In fact, your denture should not interfere with your speech if it fits well and is securely positioned against the roof of your mouth. Remember: dentures take a little bit more space than your actual teeth, but if they are sized properly, your speech should not be affected at all.\u00a0At the time of delivery, Sam or Curtis will provide you with some easy and simple tricks to help with your speech.<\/p>\n
The simple answer is: yes. Initially, you will look and feel different. Others might notice the change as well, but patients report getting many compliments for their new appearance. Dentures provide tremendous support to your facial muscles. It is therefore natural for your face to instantly feel “lifted”. You should feel normal again within a very short period of time.<\/p>\n
You should wear your dentures as much as possible, but the ultimate choice is yours as to when and how often you wear them. We also recommend that you sleep without your denture. Some patients report sleeping with their denture. If you insist on wearing it during your sleep, just remember to brush it at least once a day to remove plaque and food debris. You should also brush and massage the underlying tissues with a soft brush.<\/p>\n
New technology and advanced research have made it possible to make dentures incredibly affordable. The investment is definitely worth it, especially since quality dentures can last more than a decade. Your insurance coverage can help with the associated costs of your new denture. Our administrative coordinator, Kelly Lee, is very knowledgeable regarding insurance claims and will guide you throughout the process.<\/p>\n
Signature 28 Denture Clinic recognizes that everyone has a unique financial situation. Calgary’s economic recession has made it challenging for some to care for their dental needs. We don’t want this to stop you from getting the care you deserve. Our clinic can present you with different payment options that\u00a0bring relief to your\u00a0personal wallet.<\/p>\n
Some Albertans may receive financial assistance from our provincial government. This depends on your age and household income. Check out one of our previous blog posts regarding financial aid for dental and denture needs.<\/p>\n
