Modern Dentures That Look Great and Feel Comfortable

Dentures have come a long way. Today’s custom-crafted dentures look remarkably natural, fit comfortably, and restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. If you’ve been living with missing teeth or wearing uncomfortable older dentures, it may be time for a better solution.

At Enhance Dental Centre in Kitsilano, we take a personalised approach to every set of dentures — ensuring the fit, function, and appearance are as close to natural teeth as possible.

Types of Dentures We Offer

Full (Complete) Dentures:

For patients who have lost all teeth in the upper, lower, or both arches. Full dentures rest on the gums and are held in place by suction and denture adhesive.

Partial Dentures:

For patients missing some, but not all, teeth. Partial dentures clip onto remaining natural teeth and fill the gaps.

Implant-Supported Dentures:

Secured by dental implants for superior stability. These ‘snap-on’ dentures eliminate the slipping and discomfort associated with conventional dentures — and are considered the gold standard for full-arch replacement.

Getting Your Dentures — The Process

We start with impressions and measurements of your mouth to design dentures custom-fitted to your anatomy. We trial a wax version first so you can approve the fit and appearance before the final dentures are made. Once complete, we make any necessary adjustments to ensure optimal comfort and function. 

Caring for Your Dentures

  • Remove and clean dentures after meals
  • Soak overnight in denture solution (not hot water)
  • Brush your gums, tongue, and palate daily
  • Visit us regularly — even with dentures, oral exams are important
  • Handle with care — dentures can break if dropped
