Comfortable, Custom Dentures
Dentures have long been a reliable solution for replacing missing teeth, offering both functional and aesthetic benefits.
At Kingston Bay Dentistry, we understand the impact that tooth loss can have on your daily life, from difficulties in speaking and eating to feeling self-conscious about your smile. Our goal is to alleviate these concerns by providing high-quality, comfortable dentures that are tailored to fit your lifestyle and personal preferences.
The Types of Dentures We Offer
As a cornerstone of the Kingston community, we pride ourselves on delivering dental care that reflects our understanding of the needs of our neighbors.
Every patient is treated with the utmost respect and consideration, with services tailored to match your individual needs.
Complete Dentures: For patients missing all their teeth, complete dentures offer a full set of artificial teeth mounted on a gum-colored base.
Partial Dentures: For those missing some but not all teeth, partial dentures fill in the gaps, preventing the remaining teeth from shifting.
The Benefits of Choosing Dentures
Our team combines years of expertise with a compassionate approach. We believe in building relationships with our patients, ensuring you feel heard, valued, and comfortable at every visit.
- Restored Functionality: Dentures are designed to mimic the function of natural teeth, enabling you to eat and speak with ease.
- Improved Appearance: Modern dentures look natural and can significantly improve your smile, boosting your confidence and self-esteem.
- Support Facial Structure: Tooth loss can cause facial muscles to sag. Dentures help fill out your facial profile, offering a more youthful appearance.
- Customizable: Dentures are customizable to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless, attractive look.

Frequently
Asked Questions
What are dentures?
Dentures are removable dental appliances used to replace missing teeth and restore your smile. They come in various forms, including complete (full) dentures for those who have lost all their teeth and partial dentures for those missing one or more teeth but still have some natural teeth remaining.
How do I know if I need dentures?
If you’re missing several teeth or facing the removal of multiple teeth due to decay or injury, dentures may be a suitable solution for you. Scheduling a consultation with one of our dentists is the best way to determine if dentures are the right choice for your dental needs.
Are dentures comfortable?
Modern dentures are designed with comfort and functionality in mind. While there may be an adjustment period as you get used to wearing them, our team at Kingston Bay Dentistry works closely with you to ensure your dentures fit well and feel as natural as possible.
How long does it take to get used to wearing dentures?
Adjusting to dentures varies from person to person. Generally, it can take a few weeks to become accustomed to the feel of dentures in your mouth. We provide guidance and support during this period, helping you adjust to your new dentures comfortably.
Can I eat normally with dentures?
Yes, you can enjoy most of your favorite foods with dentures. However, it may take some time to get used to eating with them. We recommend starting with soft foods and gradually introducing more solid foods as you become more comfortable.
How do I care for my dentures?
Proper care is crucial to extend the life of your dentures and maintain oral health. This includes daily brushing, soaking them overnight in a denture-cleaning solution, and handling them with care to avoid damage.
Will dentures affect my speech?
Initially, you may notice some changes in your speech, but this is typically temporary. With practice and as you adjust to your dentures, your speech will improve. We can provide tips to help you adapt more quickly.
How often do I need to replace my dentures?
Dentures may need to be replaced every 5 to 7 years due to natural changes in your mouth and wear and tear. However, with proper care and regular checkups, we can help ensure your dentures last as long as possible.
