Dentures made, fitted and repaired right here.

Dentures that fit your life

Losing teeth changes how you eat, talk and feel about your smile. A well-made denture gives those things back. We make complete dentures for people who've lost all their upper or lower teeth, partial dentures that clip around remaining teeth to fill gaps, and implant-supported dentures that lock onto implants for people who are tired of a denture that moves.

What sets us apart is our onsite lab. Most dental offices send denture work to an outside laboratory, which means a broken denture can leave you without teeth for days. Here, the lab is down the hall. A cracked base, a tooth that's come off, or a denture that's grown loose can usually be repaired or relined the same day, often while you wait.

New dentures take a few visits so we can get the fit, bite and appearance right. We'd rather adjust at the try-in stage than have you struggling at home.

    Try-in

    You see and feel a wax version before it's finished. This is the time to say what you'd change.

    You take your dentures home, and we fine-tune any sore spots over the following weeks.

Good to know

Repairs, relines and coverage

Bring a broken denture in as early in the day as you can and we'll tell you whether it can be repaired on the spot. Relines, which add new material to the fitting surface when gums have shrunk, are usually a same-day job too. Repair costs depend on the damage, and we'll quote before we start.

Dentures, repairs and relines are commonly covered by the Canadian Dental Care Plan, ODSP, Ontario Works and many private plans. We bill these directly.

Common questions

Dentures & Repairs, answered.

If your question isn't here, call us. A real person picks up during office hours.

How long will a denture repair take?

Most simple repairs and relines are done the same day, often within an hour or two. Complex breaks may take a bit longer, but they're still done here rather than shipped out.

How long do dentures last?

Typically five to ten years. Your gums and bone change shape over time, so relines are normal along the way, and eventually a new set fits better than any adjustment.

Will I be able to eat normally?

It takes a few weeks to get used to new dentures. Start with softer foods, chew on both sides, and it gets easier. Implant-supported dentures make chewing much closer to natural teeth.

Should I sleep with my dentures in?

It's better to take them out overnight to let your gums rest, and to keep them in water or a cleaning solution so they don't dry out and warp.

Can you fix a denture made somewhere else?

Yes. We repair and reline dentures regardless of where they were made.
