Dentures in Valleyfield and Vaudreuil-Dorion
A denture is a removable appliance that replaces several or all of the teeth in a jaw. It can be complete or partial, conventional or immediate, and it can be stabilized on dental implants for far better retention. Dentures restore chewing, speech and facial support.

Dentures: what you need to know
Losing several teeth changes more than your smile: chewing becomes difficult, speech can be affected and the cheeks and lips lose their support. A well-made denture restores all three. Today’s dentures are lighter, more natural-looking and, when anchored on implants, far more stable than the dentures of a generation ago.
At Go Dentiste, dentures are designed with our denturist, Sabrina Walsh, and our dentists, who handle the extractions, the implants and the health of the remaining teeth and gums. The whole process, from impressions to adjustments, takes place at our Valleyfield and Vaudreuil-Dorion clinics.
Which denture for which situation?
- Complete denture: all the teeth of the upper or lower jaw are missing
- Partial denture: some natural teeth remain and can anchor the appliance
- Immediate denture: placed the same day the last teeth are extracted, so you are never without teeth
- Implant-supported denture: snaps onto two to four implants for a stable lower denture
- Reline or replacement: an existing denture that has become loose, worn or cracked
How the treatment works, step by step
1. Consultation
The dentist and denturist examine your mouth, discuss the type of denture, the extractions or implants needed, and give you a written estimate.
2. Preliminary and final impressions
Precise impressions of the gums and remaining teeth are taken to make custom trays and then the final models.
3. Bite registration
The relationship between the upper and lower jaws is recorded to set the height and position of the teeth.
4. Wax try-in
You try the denture in wax to check the appearance, the shade and the fit of the teeth before it is finalized.
5. Delivery
The finished denture is fitted, and you receive instructions for wearing, cleaning and adapting.
6. Adjustments
One or more short visits fine-tune the fit and relieve any sore spots during the first weeks.
Benefits
- Restores chewing, speech and facial support
- Economical way to replace many teeth at once
- Immediate option so you are never without teeth
- Implant stabilization eliminates movement of a lower denture
- Adjustable and repairable over time
After the treatment: advice
- Remove and brush the denture daily with a soft brush and a denture cleanser, not toothpaste
- Take it out at night to let the gums rest, and keep it in water
- Expect increased saliva and some difficulty speaking for the first days; read aloud to adapt faster
- Start with soft foods cut into small pieces and chew on both sides
- Come back for adjustments if a sore spot develops; never file the denture yourself
Alternatives and options
For a missing group of teeth, a fixed bridge or implants with crowns avoid a removable appliance. For a complete arch, a fixed implant-supported bridge on four to six implants is the most stable solution. A partial denture remains the most affordable option and can be converted to an implant-supported denture later.

Frequently asked questions about denture
How long does it take to get used to a denture?
Two to four weeks for most patients. Speaking and chewing improve day by day; adjustment visits relieve any pressure points during that period.
My lower denture moves: what is the solution?
Two implants under the lower denture, with snap attachments, are the most effective solution. The denture then stays in place while chewing and speaking, and it can still be removed for cleaning.
Should I sleep with my denture?
No. Removing it at night lets the gum tissue rest and reduces the risk of irritation and fungal infections. The exception is the first night after an immediate denture, on the dentist’s instructions.
How often should a denture be replaced?
Every five to ten years on average. The gums and bone change over time, so a reline every two to three years keeps the fit stable in between.
Are dentures covered by insurance or the CDCP?
Most private plans cover part of the cost of dentures, and the Canadian Dental Care Plan covers complete and partial dentures for eligible patients, often with pre-authorization.
What if my denture breaks?
Do not use household glue. Call us: many repairs can be done within a day or two, and a temporary solution is arranged in the meantime.
