Complete Dentures in Nanaimo
Complete dentures are for individuals who have already lost their natural teeth. This could be for a complete upper or complete lower arch, or for both arches. At Harbour City Denture Clinic, we offer complete denture services to make your daily activities, like chewing and smiling, easy and comfortable. With complete dentures, our Nanaimo clinic gives you the opportunity to "try-in" a wax model of your new teeth so that changes can be made before the final denture is completed.
Some clinics talk about having different grades of dentures such as low-grade and high-grade but how does a patient know what a high-grade tooth is? At Harbour City Denture Clinic, we don't have different grades because all of our dentures are carefully crafted from the same premium-quality materials. This includes hardened plastic and composite teeth and porcelain to ensure exceptional wear and a natural appearance. We take pride in knowing that every patient leaves our office with the same top-quality denture at affordable pricing because everyone deserves a beautiful, natural smile.

What Are Complete Dentures?
Complete dentures are removable acrylic devices that act as a replacement for soft tissue, bone, and teeth. They look like natural teeth and can meet both functional and cosmetic needs. Unlike partial dentures, they replace all of your natural teeth.
They consist of two parts:
- Artificial teeth: These teeth function entirely like natural teeth, which help restore chewing, speaking, and smiling.
- Denture base: The denture base is the foundation for artificial teeth and replaces the deficient soft and hard tissue.
Complete Denture Procedure
- Initial assessment: We will discuss your dental concerns in detail and examine your oral health to determine whether you will benefit from complete dentures.
- Fabrication: The fabrication process includes steps such as taking impressions of your mouth and 'fittings.' It might involve several visits.
- Fitting: We will precisely adjust the complete denture to ensure a natural and comfortable fit.
We seek to build long-lasting relationships with our patients. Please tell us any concerns you may have about complete dentures.

FAQ
Have a look at some commonly asked questions about complete dentures.
Who Needs Complete Dentures?

- A complete arch of teeth is missing.
- Dental implants aren't an option for you.
- You have lost gross intraoral tissue.
Please visit us for an examination and see if complete dentures are your best option.
How Long Do Complete Dentures Last?
With proper care, dentures can last between 5 to 10 years. However, issues such as bone loss due to health issues can shorten the lifespan of your dentures. Regular relining is a must to ensure your dentures fit you as they should.
How Long Will It Take to Fabricate My Dentures?
Generally, it takes 4-5 dental visits to fabricate complete dentures. The duration will depend on your requirements and dental health.
