Dentures in Banff
A comfortable, custom solution for missing teeth. For patients who are not candidates for dental implants, or who prefer another option, complete or partial dentures at Rocky Mountain Dental restore both function and confidence.
About Dentures
For patients who are not candidates for dental implants, and for those who desire other options for missing teeth replacement, complete or partial dentures may be the ideal choice. Dentures are custom made to fit your mouth, restoring your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
What Are Dentures
Complete dentures replace a full arch of missing teeth, upper, lower, or both, and rest directly on the gums. Partial dentures fill in the gaps left by one or more missing teeth while natural teeth remain, using a metal or acrylic framework that clips discreetly onto existing teeth for stability. Both types are custom fitted to your mouth for comfort and a natural appearance.
Who This Helps
Dentures are a strong option for a range of patients.
- Patients missing all their teeth in one or both arches
- Patients missing several teeth who are not ready or eligible for implants
- Patients seeking a removable, non-surgical tooth replacement option
- Anyone wanting to restore chewing function and facial support
- Patients on a budget seeking a lower cost alternative to implants

Recovery and Aftercare
It is normal to need a short adjustment period as you get used to speaking and eating with new dentures. Minor sore spots can occur early on and are typically resolved with a quick adjustment visit. Once settled, dentures should be cleaned daily and removed at night, with regular check-ups to monitor fit as your gums and jawbone change over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for my dentures?
Dentures should be cleaned daily with a denture specific cleaner, removed at night to allow your gums to rest, and stored in water or a denture solution when not worn.
What are dentures made of?
Dentures are typically made from a combination of acrylic resin for the base and gums, with acrylic or porcelain used for the artificial teeth themselves.
How much do dentures cost?
Cost depends on whether you need a complete or partial denture and the specific materials chosen. Contact our team for a personalised quote based on your needs.
How long does it take to get used to new dentures?
Most patients adjust within a few weeks, though speaking and eating may feel different at first as your mouth adapts to the new fit.
Can I sleep with my dentures in?
It is generally recommended to remove dentures at night to give your gums a chance to rest and to reduce the risk of irritation or infection.
