What Are Complete Dentures?
Complete dentures are also known as full dentures or full plates. They are provided as a treatment when there are no natural teeth remaining. You can have an upper denture, a lower denture, or full set dentures. They are removable dentures allowing easy access for cleaning. The top plate can achieve suction quite easily. This allows the wearer to smile, chew and eat. The bottom denture can also have suction but is rare compared to the top. The degree of suction for both upper dentures and bottom dentures can be improved drastically with the SEMCD Suction Denture technique.
Indications For Complete Dentures
Complete dentures can be for either the upper and/or lower arch. The possibility of having all your natural teeth extracted depends on the diagnosis provided by your dental professional. For example, if you have only a few natural teeth remaining but the teeth are not healthy and cannot be saved, your dentist may advise you to extract these teeth and wear a complete denture. The benefits can include better aesthetics, improved chewing, oral health, and overall health.
Dentures generally last for about 5 – 7 years. The acrylic material which makes up the denture has a “best before date” of about 5 years. Since acrylic is porous, it can trap a lot of bacteria and stains over time. The “best before date” is a guide to start taking notice of the condition of your dentures. It can become weaker, brittle and unhygienic making it more prone to breakage or making the wearer more susceptible to infections and TMJ Disorder.
What is TMJ Disorder?
The teeth used for the denture can wear away which can distort the location of your bite. This causes stress to your temporomandibular joint (TMJ) leading to detrimental TMJ disorders. The TMJs are the two joints that connect your jaw bone to the skull. The amount of stress we put on these joints can be greater than the stress we place on the knee joints. The TMJs help dictate the specific way you chew your food!

Complete Dentures Cost
The dental plate cost can vary from clinic to clinic. Each province in Canada is provided a fee guide to follow. This fee guide takes into account of several factors. These factors include: the time it takes to make the dentures, the cost of the materials, and the additional costs to keep a good clinic operating. The fee guide “guides” each clinician to provide successful and health-benefiting denture treatments. Furthermore, the fee guide pricing has accounted for the senior’s affordability of denture treatments.
The Grade And Quality of Complete Denture
Since everyone’s mouth is different, it is strongly advised that an examination and consultation be made to determine the grade and quality of complete denture that suits you best. For example, standard complete dentures (grade I) are created using average and basic tooth shades, shape and plate material. They may fit comfortably and allow for adequate chewing of softer foods. These dentures however are by no means customized to your natural bite and natural appearance.
The number of adjustment appointments after receiving these dentures can range from three to ten (3 – 10), or sometimes even more appointments.
Quality & Value Over Price
Precision complete dentures (grade III) are more personalized and utilize premium material, precise measurements and techniques to achieve a more natural look and a more natural biofunctional denture. These dentures allow the wearer to eat, speak and laugh with confidence. It is noticeable that the number of adjustment appointments with grade III or IV dentures are greatly reduced.
Services After The Completion of The Dentures
On average in Ontario, a standard complete upper denture could start from $1,100, a standard complete lower denture could start from $1,300, a precision complete upper denture could start from $1,400, and a precision complete lower denture could start from $1,600. These numbers reflect the quality and time that is put into making a denture that fits you.
It is highly recommended that you schedule a consultation to get proper pricing suited for your needs as these prices are only a guide for your budget. Furthermore, depending on the clinic, any services after the delivery or completion of the dentures can be considered additional which might incur additional costs, such as relines, repairs, etc… Make an appointment now to ask us about Grade IV complete dentures and how they might vastly benefit you.

Getting dentures is a scary thing to face. Hayes and Cherie were absolutely phenomonal with their knowledge, but most of all with their patience. Hayes listens to and addresses every concern you have. The Hayven team alleviated my anxiety-riddled fears every step of the way. I am very happy with the service/product that they have provided.

My mother is 96 years old and she needed new dentures. We decided to go ahead with Hayven Dentures and I am so happy we did. They were very very patient, attentive, careful, gentle and went above and beyond to make sure the dentures fit properly and were comfortable to wear. My mother was not an easy case because of her age and condition of gums, but they were very patient with the process and made sure we satisfied with the final result. I would highly recommend Hayven Dentures to anyone looking to get dentures.

My son, Sean, needed dentures to replace teeth lost due to sports. Hayven was very welcoming, progressive in their approach /technique, and extremely professional. They worked as quickly as possible to get him suited up in time for summer. While Covid created some delay, once they were able to be active again, they expedited the work to do everything possible to deliver on their promised timeline. I highly recommend them as the best place to go hands-down.

My grandpa was having problems eating salad and biting his cheeks all the time after getting new dentures made in downtown St. Catharines.We couldn't deal with seeing him in agony so we took him to see Hayes and Vivan at Hayven Dentures. He is now eating everything he likes again. Thank you!

I had a great experience with Hayven Dentures. From my first appointment to my last fitting, they take the time to really listen and make sure you are satisfied and comfortable. I had 2 upper teeth missing due to medication I was taking. It affected my smile and my confidence. Since receiving my partial, I am much more confident and am not afraid to smile as wide as I want to! Thank you to all the staff at Hayven Dentures for the amazing service!!

Having to deal with 30 plus year old denture and general neglect of my teeth. When the time came to remedy the situation I must say that my choice to have the work done by Hayden dental was a good one. Not only did they do a excellent job throughout the whole process but they staff and Hayes made it a lot of fun also. the job was done so well that I was able to munch a cob of corn with absolutely NO problem despite their recommendation that I give myself time to get used to my new teeth. I can say that I have no hesitation recommending Hayden Dental for anyone needing new dentures or denture support. Thanks muchly to Hayes and all for making me smile again.

After breaking two teeth, one being the tooth my upper partial attached to, I was devastated as I was no longer able to wear my plate, nor eat or even smile.I went to Hayven Clinic on an emergency appt the very next day and was immediately welcomed by Cherie, who took a very thorough history, then next Hayes and Judy. I was absolutely thrilled at the professional, kind and gentle approach provided by by all.My plate is repaired better then when it was originally made! It fits very comfortably and looks awesome.I have been to other denture clinics but will never go anywhere else now. I am having my full dentures done here by Hayes and Judy and I know they will be excellent.This clinic's team. Hayes, Judy and Cherie are outstanding - when you are doing something as important as having dentures made, have it done right by the right team the first time!

I found Hayven Dentures when I googled denturist’s in Niagara, when I called, & the receptionist Christine answered she was very helpful in answering my qustion’s. From my first initial visit for a consultation I knew I had made the right choice going to Hayven Denture Clinic. Hayes is a wonderful caring professional, Christine his receptionist /assistant is a gem. If you need denture’s or looking to have your current denture’s replaced as I did, you will have made the right choice by calling Hayven dentures.

I originally got my dentures from Hayes early this year but recently came back because my dog got a hold of my denture and cracked it in two. After fixing it, it felt exactly like it did when he first made them. It's been almost a year and they still look and feel brand new. My last set was from another denturist and it was cheaper and by the first year I could already see some wear and tear. Hayes is very professional and the quality of his dentures are worth it!

I had to write this review as it was a very long time since I've had my mouth taken care of as great as this place. I had dentures made from many other denture clinics and dental offices.I have gone through many different treatment options. Needless to say, I went through many adjustments, pain and to no avail I could not eat.I was very doubtful Hayes would be able to help me but I tried his suction dentures. I am now able to eat again after all these years.I highly recommend Hayven Dentures from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you Hayven Dentures!!!Hayes replaced my I’ll-fitting dentures with suction dentures that stay in place. What a difference!I am now able to eat foods that I avoided before like steak, apples and corn on the cob.Because of my experience at Hayven Dentures, I now know that when considering new dentures, it is so important to choose a clinician that will provide the right fit and bite of your new dentures.I highly recommend going to see Hayes who is a very professional, caring and knowledgeable denturist!

We would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to Dr.Hayes Leung at Hayven Dentures at 289 Glendale Ave. for his excellent work and dedication to his patients. My husband was suffering with ill fitting dentures made by another Denturist that were causing such discomfort that it affected his ability to eat and speak properly. W decided to start over with a new Denturist, From our first visit to Hayes we were treated with kindness and compassion. We had full confidence in his ability to help Peter and were richly rewarded. The dentures he made for him were a perfect fit the first time with no adjustments necessary. After months of suffering it felt like he was given a new lease on life.A special thank you to Christine, his office manager, who was always so welcoming, efficient and helpful.They make a great team! We would definitely recommend him to anyone in need of his services.

I walked into the denture clinic this afternoon with a broken upper partial. Three hours later I walked out with a repaired partial that fit better than it did originally. Dr Hayes was fantastic! He adjusted my partial until I was happy and comfortable with it. The receptionist, Christine, was wonderful and helpful as well. I hope this will be my only problem with my partial but if I do need it repaired or adjusted again, I will be returning to Dr Hayes. Thank you Dr Hayes!

Dr. Hayes Leung at the Glendale Office in St. Catharines is extremely nice to deal with, very confident and patient when fitting or relining dentures. I have had dentures for over 50 years and have seen many Denture clinic personal and would recommend Dr. Leung and Haven Clinics to anyone needing their services

I had a great experience at Hayven Dentures. They were patient and took the time to explain the procedure thoroughly for my mouth guard. Their attention to detail was great as they made sure the fit was optimal so that my jaw alignment was not affected.

Hayes at Hayven Dentures was able to help my brother where previous professionals couldn't. The last set he owned constantly hurt him which led to way too many adjustments and they were always loose. We are very glad we found this gemstone denturist and will not forget such wonderful experience.

I had a very positive experience with Hayven Dentures today. My elderly mother broke her denture yesterday and as I live in another city and unable to get to her right away I called Hayven and the denturist went to the nursing home , picked up the denture , repaired it and returned it to her later in the day. The receptionist was very helpful in arranging this and I am very happy with the excellent service and compassion I experienced with them today.

Hayes from Hayven Dentures is very friendly and patient with my mother when she needed new dentures. During the whole process, Hayes was available to meet my mother at her home and answer all our questions. My mother's dentures were worn and they often fell out while she was eating. Hayven Dentures made her dentures fit so well that she can eat with no worries. Overall the experience was fabulous and I would recommend Hayven Dentures to everyone needing dentures.

I found Hayven Dentures on Facebook and decided to have complete dentures made by them. My journey began at the end of May and today, July 7th, I sit here with comfortable complete dentures that I'm thrilled with. I've had so many compliments from family and friends on how real they look and I no longer have to cover my mouth when I smile/laugh. My situation involved having teeth removed and immediate dentures same day. It was very painful at first and Hayes (Denturist) did everything in his power to alleviate the pain and his wonderful receptionist Christine followed up with me every step of the way . Hayes is so friendly and is definitely a master of his craft. I highly recommend Hayven Dentures.Sincerely,Sandra Laflamme 7/7/2018
