Call Sedation Dental Group About Dentures Today!

If you’re missing teeth, dentures are crafted to help repair your smile and confidence, and replace one or more missing teeth, whether lost due to aging, injury, or dental issues. At Sedation Dental Group, our general dentist designs dentures to look natural and feel secure, so you can enjoy daily life with ease. Our team in Ottawa’s goal is to support you every step of the way with personalized restorative care!

Why Dentures Matter

Missing teeth affects more than your appearance. When teeth are absent, the remaining teeth can shift, making it harder to clean properly and increasing your risk for gum disease and cavities. That’s why replacing missing teeth is so important: it helps maintain proper chewing function, prevents other teeth from moving, and keeps your smile looking beautiful.

The Canadian Dental Association (CDA) and Statistics Canada report that 4.4% of Canadian adults are missing all their natural teeth. This rate is even higher among Indigenous peoples (at 5.6%) and dramatically increases to 24.6% for seniors aged 80 and older.

6. Follow-Up Care: We check function and help you with at-home care tips.

Link Between Oral & Overall Health

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), poor oral health and tooth loss are linked to conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and poor nutrition. Specifically, missing teeth can make it difficult to chew fiber-rich foods such as fruits and vegetables, which may lead to nutritional deficiencies.

How Often / Who Needs Dentures

Dentures may be right for you if you’re missing several or all of your teeth, or if remaining teeth can’t be saved. Full dentures are designed to replace all teeth in one or both arches, while partial dentures are crafted to fill gaps when some teeth remain. Most patients wear their dentures daily and visit us every six months to ensure proper fit and oral health.

At-Home Tips Between Visits

• Rinse dentures after meals to remove food particles.
• Brush them daily with a soft denture brush and cleanser (not toothpaste).
• Soak dentures overnight in a cleaning solution.
• Gently brush your gums, tongue, and the roof of your mouth daily.
• Handle dentures over a soft surface to avoid breakage if dropped.
